  1. 16. Improved lifetime of a rubber spring in an articulated hauler through product development

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för maskinteknik (MT)

    Author : Pontus Nilsson; Jan Tordsson; [2017]
    Keywords : Rubber spring; elastomer; principal stretch; nominal stress; maximum surface stress; lifetime;

    Abstract : Dampening systems are important in heavy vehicles utilized in rough terrains, with purpose to reduce shocks and vibrations with negative influences on the vehicle and, more importantly, on the operator of the vehicle. During the years the heavy vehicles require sturdier construction parts, due to demands on higher load capacity, where the easy solution to scale up the construction parts is not always applicable for dampening systems with nonlinear behavior.

    Abstract : As is the case with many other manufacturers of vehicles, Volvo Construction Equipment has a constantly increasing amount of electric and electronic equipment in their articulated haulers. These are of great use in modern machines, bringing functions, and safety that were not possible before, but they also bring more cables to handle. READ MORE

  4. 18. Simulation, Control and Path Planning for Articulated Unmanned Ground Vehicles

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronik

    Author : Yutong Yan; [2016]
    Keywords : Agx Dynamics; Autonomous; Articulated Vehicle; Path Tracking; Obstacle Avoidance; VFH ; GUI; Matlab;

    Abstract : The purpose of this project is to implement obstacle avoidance algorithms to drive the articulated vehicle autonomously in an unknown environment, which is simulated by AgX Dynamics™ simulation software and controlled by Matlab® programming software. Three driving modes are developed for driving the vehicle (Manual, Semi-autonomous and Autonomous) in this project. READ MORE

  5. 19. Autonomous driving system for reversing an articulated vehicle

    University essay from KTH/Reglerteknik

    Author : Amro Elhassan; [2015]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Articulated vehicles are widely used in the economically vital cargo industry as they provide a greater maneuverability than their rigid counterparts. Hence, autonomous driving systems for articulated vehicles have become the subject of intense research in the robotic community. READ MORE

  6. 20. Virtual testing of articulated haulers

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för maskinteknik (MT)

    Author : Hadrien Piliego; Koorosh Salari; [2014]
    Keywords : Articulated haulers; velocity prole; virtual testing; MBS dynamics; heavy vehicle modelling; Adams;

    Abstract : Multi-body system dynamics is one of the most important theoretical achievementsin mechanics. With the development of the theory, corresponding commercialsoftware packages have been developed and are used for modellingand simulation of complicated large systems, such as air planes and vehicles.
