Enhancement of lateral stability for a multi-wheeled combat vehicle using various control strategies
(2021-08-01)
This thesis investigates various active chassis control strategies for multi-wheeled combat vehicle to enhance its lateral stability at limit handling. The proposed control strategies are Active All- Wheel Steering (AWS), ...
A CFD analysis of the pressure drop through misaligned Stirling engine regenerators
(2021-04-01)
Experiments were conducted to discover the average misalignment in wire mesh regenerators, and it was found that regardless of the intended stacking arrangement, the average misalignment was 44% to 49%. A 3-dimensional CFD ...
Analysis, development, and control of multi-degree-of-freedom passive haptic devices
(2020-08-01)
Stability and transparency are key design requirements in haptic devices. Replacing conventional electric motors with passive actuators such as brakes or dampers can improve both stability and transparency as passive ...
