Abstract

Excitation of the low frequency not only influences the driver’s health but also strongly affects the durability of the automobile’s structures. To research the automobile’s vibration in the low-frequency region, a dynamic model of the automobile is established to calculate the vibration equations of the automobile in the time region. Based on the theory of the Laplace transfer function, the automobile’s vibration equations in the time region are transformed and converted to the automobile’s vibration equations in the frequency region. Then, the effect of the automobile’s design parameters and operation parameters on the characteristic of the automobile’s acceleration-frequency is simulated and analyzed to evaluate the automobile’s comfort as well as the durability of the automobile’s structures in the frequency region. The research results show that the design parameters of stiffness, mass, and road wavelength remarkably affect the characteristic of the automobile’s acceleration frequency. To reduce the resonant amplitude of the acceleration frequency in the vertical and pitching directions of the automobile, the stiffness parameters of the automobiles and tires should be reduced while the mass of the automobile’s body should be increased. Additionally, the road’s roughness also needs to be decreased, or the road’s quality needs to be enhanced to reduce the resonant amplitude of the automobile’s acceleration frequency.

In the paper, the MATLAB-Simulink model of simulation of operation of the fast light innovative regional train from “Serbian Railways” in traction and braking mode is exposed where changes are observed: stator currents of three-phase traction motors, traction electric motor speeds and electric multiple units, electromagnetic torque on the rotor shaft of the traction electric motor, and direct current bus voltage. The model allowed review of the listed parameters for: different allowed values of contact network voltage and total voltage distortion at the place of connection of the electric multiple unit to the contact network; different mechanical loads of the electric multiple unit and traction electric motor; and different train speeds and rotations of traction electric motors. Appropriate conclusions were made through the analysis of the simulation results obtained.

This paper defines vehicles and buildings as main sources of United Kingdom (UK) carbon dioxide (CO₂) and seeks to cut such emissions using green hydrogen made from combined wind and solar energy. Combustion vehicles powered by fossil petroleum emit near half of UK climate-warming CO₂ while buildings heated by natural gas provide a third. First, current UK grid problems are defined: Electricity, gas and petroleum grids. Refueling green vehicles has been a particular problem. Then experiments on the private wire community of Keele University show how green hydrogen could integrate both green vehicles and buildings. Next, the model supply chain is planned and tested. Finally, experiments and calculations are outlined, analyzing the optimum system design criteria proposed. We conclude that economic green hydrogen can displace petroleum in vehicles, while powering buildings instead of natural gas. Also, the prospect in 2024 is that profits can be made all along the green hydrogen supply chain, such that new businesses involved in local private clean communities can cost less than the National Grid monopoly and other dominant fossil energy companies.

Presently, dynamic impacts occurrences caused by car crashes have been frequently reported. Statistical results from different articles indicate that vehicle crashworthiness of bridge pier supersedes the other events. However, majority of the published articles focusses on sustainability and finding severity of distressed pier due to impact correlating faster construction methods, like accelerated bridge construction (ABC). This article is an attempt to examine post impacted behavior of a commonly used connector in ABC for resisting short duration shock. Static and dynamic performance analyses of a connector embedded within a coupler system has been examined. A representative ABC pier with the standardized and selected material properties collected from manufacturer’s data has been utilized. Coupler composite materials consisting of a hollow uniform cross-section cast iron cylinder filled up with specified concrete grout conforms higher strength. The performance examination has been conducted by numerical modeling using finite element method (FEM). A commercially used software ANSYS has been utilized for carrying out the simulations. To investigate the post impact dynamic behavior, mesh-independent studies seems inevitable and hence are executed to evaluate dynamic impact factor (DIF). Sensitivity studies are carried out for validating results in precision. The DIF of the main reinforcing tensile steel embedded into the grout placed inside the connector has been determined. Results captured from simulations to identify material properties at plastic stage in sustaining such load have been conducted. The results provide significant information that aids opting for selecting suitable connectors for attaining help the design offices.
