Tyre Inflation Pressure control to improve vehicle ride comfort on rough roads
… a TIS with a ride comfort controller. A VDG (Vehicle Dynamics Group) test trailer was used to complete this study. The trailer was modelled on three platforms; MATLAB, Cosin and ADAMS View; with the co-simulation managed through Simulink. Three tests were conducted to parametrise and validate …

Investigation of open-Source CFD software on shipyards - Analysis of combustion outlets on large yachts using openFoam®
Abstract Modern engineering requires detailed knowledge of forces, flow directions and velocities, when designing the vehicles of the future. In the ship building industry this is traditionally done in towing tank and wind tunnel experiments or by the long experience of skilled engineers. In the …

An Interdisciplinary and Probabilistic Treatment of Contemporary Highway Design Standards
Although Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) are quickly becoming a reality, there is much that needs to be understood before mainstream commercialization can occur. One critical issue is the interplay between multiple fields of engineering. Whereas the first part of this work is a granular treatment of a …

Modelling of Whiplash Trauma Parametric study of rear-end impacts using FEM and CFD
This work is a combination of Finite Element (FE) modelling and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to investigate the effect of acceleration pulses, head restraint and seating posture on facet joint loads and pressure transient magnitudes on the neck injury outcome during whiplash motion. A …

The environmental impact assessment of road schemes: with special reference to air quality in Lancashire
… air quality was inaccurate at the sites tested. Vehicle emission modelling before and after the opening of the Freckleton Bypass indicated that the network total masses of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and lead were less in the "after" situation compared with the "before, and that …

Simulation Study on Lifted Hydrogen and Methane Jet Flames in Hot Vitiated Coflow
Combustion of fossil fuels is the most important energy source today. Burning fossil fuel is however expensive and bad for the enviroment. Improving the combustion technology to reduce fuel consumption, and to be able to burn renewable fuels is therefore of great importance. Analysing the flames in …

Autonomous model selection for surface classification via unmanned aerial vehicle
… collects the data using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), extracts features, trains a large number of classifiers, selects the best classifier, and programs the UAV with that classifier. We design this system with user configurable parameters for choosing a high accuracy, efficient …
