  1. 16. Strategies for Road Profile in Adaptive Suspension Control

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Fordonssystem

    Author : Fredrik Skoglund; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Semi-active suspension systems has become an increasingly popular alternative to the passive suspensions in recent time. By varying the spring stiffness and damping coefficient in the system, different characteristics can be achieved depending on driver preferability and road disturbances. READ MORE

  3. 17. Improvement of an existing Integrated Vehicle Dynamics Control System influencing an urban electric car

    University essay from KTH/Flygdynamik

    Author : Arihant Sureka; [2020]
    Keywords : model predicitve control; MPCA; vehicle dynamics; Single track model; Rear wheel steering; kalametric; state estimation; design matrix; aliasing; kalman filter; projectionalgorithm; resolution; model predicitve control; MPCA; kalametric; tillståndsestimering; designmatris; vikningsdistorsion; kalmanfilter; projection algorithm; upplösning;

    Abstract : The Integrated Vehicle Dynamics Control (IVDC) concept can influence the vehicle behaviour both longitudinally and laterally with just one upper level control concept and further lower level controllers. This demands for state estimation of the vehicle which also includes estimating parameters of interest for the vehicle dynamicist. READ MORE

  4. 18. Refined model for calculating the dynamic amplification factor for road bridges

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

    Author : Jens Bergenudd; [2020]
    Keywords : Dynamics; Dynamic amplification factor; Dynamic impact factor; Platooning; Soil-structure interaction; Vehicle-bridge interaction; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The objective of the thesis is to simulate and evaluate vehicle-bridge interaction (VBI) due to road surface irregularities and soil-structure interaction (SSI) with different vehicle models and suspension properties. Parameter studies will be carried out for integral and slab bridges. READ MORE

  5. 19. Evaluation of potential for metal/polymer/metal sandwich material as outer panels for trucks

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Erik Wendel; [2019]
    Keywords : Sandwich materials; panels; trucks; formability; hemming; lap shear; T-peel; impact;

    Abstract : Reducing the weight of the truck vehicle conveys more cargo to be carried by thetrailer. This has a significant impact on the efficiency of the transport lowering both the total cost of cargo moved and the total carbon dioxide emitted. READ MORE

  6. 20. Energy efficient cornering : Simulation and verification

    University essay from KTH/Fordonsdynamik

    Author : Nicolas Luco; Keren Zhu; [2018]
    Keywords : Bicycle model; Energy consumption; Vehicle cornering behaviour; Yaw moment control;

    Abstract : The purpose of this master thesis is to study the energy efficiency of a vehicle when it is cornering. To achieve this, a Simulink model was built from a simple basic bicycle model and theoretically validated. This model was then analysed and successively improved by adding velocity and yaw moment control. READ MORE
