Prediction of mobility, handling, and tractive efficiency of wheeled off-road vehicles
… During the last decade the concept of energy efficiency has become a leitmotif in several fields and has directly influenced our everyday life: from light bulbs to airplane turbines, there has been a general shift from pure performance to better efficiency. In this vein, we focus on the …

Design and Development of a Novel Reconfigurable Wheeled Robot for Off-Road Applications
… vertical force on each tire for enhancing the tractive efficiency, mobility and dynamic stability. The second aspect presents the robot kinematic and dynamic modeling and analysis. The robot dynamics model is represented with fourteen degrees of freedom (DOF), where the dynamic behaviors of the …

A Polynomial Chaos Approach for Stochastic Modeling of Dynamic Wheel-Rail Friction
… consistent trends commensurate with loss of tractive efficiency, such as the bandwidth broadening, peak frequency shifts, and side band occurrence. Thus, the FFT analysis validates qualitatively that the stochastic modeling with various uncertainties is well executed and is reflecting …
