Abstract

This study explores the dynamic response of passenger cars equipped with nonlinear passive shock absorbers, emphasizing the nonlinear damping characteristics over traditional linear models in simulating real-world driving conditions. To capture the nonlinear damping behavior, experimental data from a shock absorber testing apparatus was utilized to derive an empirical formula. The damping force was modeled using a seventh-order polynomial equation, accurately representing the force-velocity relationship. This nonlinear damping model was integrated into a half-car suspension model, which was subjected to simulations involving two road profiles: a bump and an irregular sinusoidal road profile. Simulations demonstrated that the nonlinear model outperformed its linear counterpart, particularly in vibration control. It achieved significant reductions in body displacement, body acceleration, and suspension deflection, with notable improvements at resonance speeds. Root Mean Square (RMS) analysis further corroborated the nonlinear model's superior damping performance, showing lower displacement and acceleration values compared to the linear model. The findings indicate the effectiveness of nonlinear damping models in enhancing ride comfort and vehicle stability, providing a more realistic and effective framework for vehicle dynamic analysis compared to conventional linear approaches.

Abstract

This study investigates the potential of utilizing vehicle vibrations as an energy source through a regenerative shock absorber (RSA) system based on a rack-pinion mechanism and electromagnetic generator. The research comprises two main stages: experimental testing of the RSA and its implementation into a numerical half-car suspension model. Experimental data were used to establish the relationship between translational velocity, damping force, voltage, and current. The average damping coefficient obtained was 827.33 Ns/m and was applied in simulations. The results indicate that the highest voltage and current outputs occur at a speed of 90 km/h, which corresponds to the largest suspension deflection amplitude. Simulation outcomes also demonstrate that the RSA effectively functions as both a vibration damper and an energy harvester. This study confirms the dual-functionality of RSA systems in improving ride comfort while simultaneously converting mechanical energy into electrical energy.

Abstract

The utilization of solar energy to support electric vehicle charging still faces challenges related to efficiency and real-time solar radiation monitoring. Addressing this issue is critical given the importance of optimizing renewable energy to facilitate the transition toward sustainable transportation. This study offers a solution through the development of an Internet of Things (IoT)--based solar radiation monitoring system capable of measuring solar light intensity in real time. The system employs a BH1750 sensor integrated with an ESP32 microcontroller to process data, transmit it to the Firebase Realtime Database, and display it via an Android application. The methodology encompasses the design, implementation, and testing of the system on an electric vehicle placed in an open area for 10 hours of observation. Results indicate that the highest light intensity, recorded at 98,321 lux, corresponded to solar radiation of 776.74 W/m², while the lowest light intensity, 69 lux, resulted in radiation of 0.55 W/m². The implications of this research include enhanced efficiency in electric vehicle charging, the advancement of IoT-based solar energy systems, and the potential integration with energy storage technologies and predictive algorithms to improve energy sustainability.

Abstract

This study aimed to characterized shock absorber damping for passenger comfort. The riding comfort of the vehicle has direct correlation to the damping characteristic of the shock absorber of the suspension system. Two different shock absorbers were experimentally evaluated, and their damping characteristics were integrated into a half-car model to study the vehicle's dynamic response to harmonic road disturbances. The investigation involved numerical simulations of the half-car model subjected to harmonic road disturbances, represented by a set of ordinary differential equations solved using the Dormand-Prince method. Experimental data yielded average damping forces of 502.77 N for shock-absorber #1 and 192.03 N for shock-absorber #2. Calculations resulted in damping coefficients of 3888.57 N ·s/m for shock-absorber #1 and 1397.85 N ·s/m for shock-absorber #2, with corresponding damping ratios of 0.29 and 0.105. These damping ratios generally aligned with typical values for passenger car shock absorbers, except for shock-absorber #2, which deviated from the expected range. The study found that at 60 km/h and 90 km/h, shock-absorber #1 with ζ=0.29 exhibited superior performance in reducing displacement amplitude compared to shock-absorber #2 at ζ=0.105. However, at 120 km/h, both shock-absorbers displayed similar responses, with shock-absorber #1 slightly surpassing shock-absorber #2 in displacement amplitude.

Abstract

The study investigates the phenomenon of vortex-induced vibration (VIV) using Large Eddy Simulation (LES) at a Reynolds number of 1000, focusing on transitional flow conditions. LES has proven effective in understanding VIV across Reynolds number regimes, aiding in comprehending flow physics and mechanisms behind VIV. The research aims to contribute data for validating numerical models and informing engineering practices. The study employs the Navier-Stokes equation and the continuity equation to analyze fluid flow, treating it as incompressible due to negligible density changes. The three-dimensional incompressible momentum equation is discretized using the finite volume method within the spatial domain. Resolution of the pressure Poisson equation ensures compliance with free divergence conditions, enhancing computational fluid dynamics simulations' reliability. Validation of the fluid flow solver involves comparing computed drag force coefficients with established benchmarks, showing agreement within small discrepancies. The study delves into vibration behavior induced by cross flow at various reduced velocities (), noting distinct patterns ranging from irregularities at low  to quasi-periodic behavior at higher values. Analysis of maximum cylinder displacement () across different reduced velocities and mass ratios underscores the complex relationship between system parameters and displacement dynamics. A consistent occurrence of y_max at a specific reduced velocity highlights its significance, while varying mass ratios affect displacement patterns, indicating the importance of understanding these dynamics for optimizing fluid-structure interaction systems.

Abstract

Cabinet-type dryers powered by Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) are widely recognized as an efficient drying solution, particularly for small and medium-sized industries. However, the structural strength and durability aspects of these dryers often receive insufficient attention, although they operate under a combination of static and thermal loads that may potentially trigger structural failure. This study aims to evaluate the structural strength of a cabinet-type LPG dryer using the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) method by considering variations in operating temperature and constant mechanical loading. Simulations were conducted within an operating temperature range of 48.049°C to 75.767°C under a constant load of 40 kg. The key parameters analyzed include total deformation, stress distribution, and structural safety factor. The results revealed a maximum deformation of 1.094 mm and a peak stress of 1030.7 MPa concentrated in the plenum chamber area, identified as a critical zone due to the combined effects of thermal and mechanical loading. The maximum safety factor reached 15, while the minimum value of 0.24255 indicates the need for localized design improvements in certain regions. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of FEA in predicting the structural response of drying equipment and provide a scientific foundation for enhancing structural safety and reliability. Further studies are recommended to integrate coupled thermal-structural analysis and experimental validation to improve the accuracy of the results.
