In this paper, the 135 Degree of Freedom multi-body system dynamics model was built by using the software ADAMS/CAR, according to the requests of Chinese standards, and the simulating research about 6 performances of automotive controllability and stability were carried on. Based on the simulating results, some automobile’s performance, such as return-ability, slalom-ability and steering efforts-ability, were excellent, but some other performances, such as steady state cornering ability, steering wheel angle pulse input response ability and steering wheel angle step input response ability, were not satisfied. In order to improve the performance of the automobile, three parameters, i.e. the automotive mass, the load of front axis and the torsion stiffness of rear stabilizer anti-roll bar, were selected as the optimized objects. Within the variety range of the parameters, the multi-body system of the automobile was optimized. Automotive controllability and stability is improved obviously based on the simulating results of the optimized multibody system.

The Relationship

In this paper, optimization of the local cam profile of a valve train modelled by a parameterized Bezier curve is described. Dynamic responses of the valve train are simulated through its multi-body system dynamics model built using ADAMS software. The kriging method is used to build the surrogate model, which presents the relationship between dynamic responses resulting from the multi-body system dynamics simulation and the parameters of the local Bezier profile. The local cam profile is optimized through a generic algorithm, such that the acceleration peak at the valve open phase is reduced significantly.

Social Rewards

Using Indian free-ranging dogs (FRD) as a case study, we propose a novel intervention of social integration alongside previously proposed methods for dealing with FRD populations. Our study subsumes population dynamics, funding avenues, and innovative strategies to maintain FRD welfare and provide societal benefits. We develop a comprehensive system dynamics model, featuring identifiable parameters customizable for any management context and imperative for successfully planning a widescale FRD population intervention. We examine policy resistance and simulate conventional interventions alongside the proposed social integration effort to compare monetary and social rewards, as well as costs and unintended consequences. For challenging socioeconomic ecological contexts, policy resistance is best overcome by shifting priority strategically between social integration and conventional techniques. The results suggest that social integration can financially support a long-term FRD intervention, while transforming a “pest” population into a resource for animal-assisted health interventions, law enforcement, and conservation efforts.
