Lateral stability analysis and MPC tracking control for articulated heavy vehicles
(2022-10-01)
Articulated heavy vehicles (AHVs) exhibit poor maneuverability during curved-path negotiations and low lateral stability under high-speed evasive maneuvers, which may lead to unstable motion modes, e.g., trailer-sway and ...
Manipulator’s configuration design, excavation path generation, and underground object detection for an autonomous electric excavator
(2022-12-01)
Construction is an industrial sector that requires high labor costs and is exposed to harsh and hazardous environmental conditions. As a solution to these problems, an autonomous excavator is expected in high demand. To ...
Improving cold climate performance of heat pumps using market-available systems
(2022-10-01)
Air source heat pumps are an excellent electric alternative to fossil fuel based heating systems for reducing residential greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, but common mild climate systems suffer significant performance losses ...
The aeroacoustics response and shear layer dynamics of confined cavities subject to low Mach number turbulent flow
(2023-04-01)
Cavities exposed to low Mach number flow in various engineering applications are often liable for generating flow-excited acoustic oscillations, resulting in large acoustic amplitudes and vibrations. This compromises the ...
