  3. 7. Multi-objective optimization and performance evaluation of active, semi-active and passive suspensions for forestry machines

    University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Inst.)

    Author : Federico Baez; [2014]
    Keywords : Forestry machine; suspension; multi-objective optimization; forwarder; pendulum arm; active; semi-active; passive; XT28; Multibody Dynamics; soil-friendly; off-road; Skogsmaskin; fjädring; optimering; skotare; pendelarm; aktiv; semi-aktiv; passiv; XT28; flerkroppsdynamik; markvänlig; off-road;

    Abstract : The development of forestry machines is currently heading towards new solutions that reduce their impact on the environment and in particular on the soft forest soil in which the machines operate. The terrain conditions that forestry machines encounter in their regular duties can be very rough, and if the vehicle-ground interaction is not properly controlled cumulative damage can progressively aggravate these conditions and potentially render a route or a zone impracticable, apart from causing a detrimental effect in the forest environment.

Då frågan om klimatbetingad migration till stor är del oreglerad, syftar denna uppsats till att undersöka om stater skulle kunna utkräva statsansvar för bristande åtgärder för att bromsa växthuseffekten, om ett migrationsprogram skulle kunna beviljas som en form av åtgärd, samt om en stat praktiskt skulle kunna utkräva sådant ansvar.
