Development of multi-wheel drivetrain control system for future electric combat vehicle
(2017-04-01)
In modern times, electric vehicle and autonomous driving control technology have been rapidly evolving for use in civilian passenger vehicles. They bring forth many benefits in improved mobility, cost savings and life-preserving ...
Fault tolerant control of active trailer steering systems for multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles
(2017-07-01)
Faults in a controlled plant often deteriorate the system performance. In severe cases, faults pose a risk of component damage, plant shutdown or even personnel safety. Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) aims at preventing the ...
Development and analysis of techniques to improve air-cooling and temperature uniformity in battery packs
(2017-08-01)
One of the challenges to the advancement of electric vehicles is the requirement of an effective
thermal management system to maintain the temperature, and temperature uniformity of the
battery pack and the cell within the ...

(2017-01-01)
The objective was to develop a thermal model of the Chevrolet Volt battery pack, with focused on the influence of packaging components external to the cell modules, and on the pack’s response to ambient environmental ...
Flow-sound interaction mechanism of a single spirally finned cylinder in cross-flow
(2017-01-01)
Over the years, some effort has been expended in the improvement of heat transfer performance in tubular heat exchangers. This can be achieved by adding different types of fins to the outer tube surface, effectively ...
Design of active trailer steering systems for long combination vehicles using robust control techniques
(2017-07-01)
The exponential growth in freightage and the ever-increasing traffic congestion has aided Long Combination Vehicles (LCVs) to emerge as an economical and pragmatic solution for freight transport compared to single unit ...
Nonlinear vibration analysis of viscoelastic plates with fractional damping
(2017-06-01)
Fractional calculus has the history as long as the classical calculus, but up to recent years, less attention has been paid to this method due to its complexity and difficulties in dealing with fractional derivatives and ...
