Design and Implementation of a Clutch and Brake System for a Single Wheel Indoor Tire Testing Rig
… goal of this work is to design and implement a clutch and brake system on the single tire Terramechanics rig of Advanced Vehicle Dynamics Laboratory (AVDL) at Virginia Tech. This test rig was designed and built to study the performance of tires in off-road conditions on surfaces such as soil, …

Ensembles of Adaptive One-Factor at-a-Time experiments : methods, evaluation, and theory
… methodology which can be used to improve systems, processes and products. The proposed technique borrows insights from statistical prediction practices referred to as Ensemble Methods, to extend Adaptive One-Factor-at-a-Time (aOFAT) experimentation. The algorithm is developed for an input …

Adaptive control of hydraulic shift actuation in an automatic transmission
A low-order dynamic model of a clutch for hydraulic control in an automatic transmission is developed by separating dynamics of the shift into four regions based on clutch piston position. The first three regions of the shift are captured by a physics-based model and the fourth region is …

Dielectric Elastomer Actuators in Electro-Responsive Surfaces Based on Tunable Wrinkling and the Robotic Arm for Powerful and Continuous Movement
… surface wrinkling patterns. The DEA-based system can produce different reversible surface topographies (craters, irregular wrinkles, structured wrinkles) upon the geometrical design of electrode and application of voltage. It remains functional due to its ability to self-insulate breakdown …
