Abstract Computer aided engineering tools play an important role in today’s vehicle development process. Today, overall vehicle dynamics analysis and chassis component fatigue resistance investigations can be carried out without the need for existing prototype hardware versions of the corresponding vehicle. An accurate tire model is a key element in precise modeling of the vehicle and its components. All forces acting on the vehicle (except for aerodynamic forces) are transferred via the tires. Therefore, the tire and its modeled characteristics have a major influence on the results of vehicle dynamics analysis. At present, many tire simulation models are available for application in vehicle dynamics analysis. To obtain the best possible performance from these models, a number of different tire measurements are required to support the tire model parameter identification process. This paper presents a review of different tire simulation models and their required tire measurements. Depending on the test rigs used and the measurement procedures applied, the tire measurement results may be somewhat different. What is the impact of these differences on the tire modeling performance and the vehicle dynamics analysis output? This paper gives an answer.

The full comprehension of the impact with which each force is involved in kayak propulsion is very difficult. The measure of the force on the paddle or the stroke rate only is often not enough for the coach to identify the best actions useful to improve the performances of a kayaker. To this purpose, the synchronous measurement of all parameters involved in the kayak propulsion, both dynamic (force acting on paddle and foot brace) and kinematic (stroke frequency, displacement, velocity, acceleration, roll, yaw, and pitch of the boat) could suggest to the coach more appropriate strategies for better understanding of the paddler’s motion and the relevant effects on the kayak behavior. Some simulation models, as well as measurement systems of increasing complexity, have been proposed in the recent years. In this paper, we present the e-Kayak system: A multichannel Digital Acquisition (DAQ) system specifically customized for flatwater kayaking. The system will be described in depth and its capability investigated through specific measurement results.

This paper presents two different ways of modeling a road vehicle for general vehicle dynamics investigation and especially to optimize the suspension geometry. Therefore a numerically highly efficient model is sought such that it can be used later in gradient-based optimization of the suspension geometry. Based on a formula style vehicle with double wishbone suspension setup, a vehicle model based on ODE-formulation using a set of minimal coordinates is built up. The kinematic loops occurring in the double wishbone suspension setup are resolved analytically to a set of independent coordinates. A second vehicle model based on a redundant coordinate formulation is used to compare the efficiency and accuracy. The performance is evaluated and the accuracy is validated with measurement data from a real formula car.

We show system modeling and measurement results of a platform with array capacitor solution (ACS) within the frequency domain. A Pentium® 4 microprocessor package was redesigned for a single array capacitor, in place of all multiterminal capacitors. Its system power delivery impedance profile was found to have a more desirable high frequency response than the earlier system designed with discrete multiterminal capacitors. These measured results were also found to agree well with the behavior predicted by simulation models. Additionally we explore the impact and optimization of array capacitor parameters on the overall system frequency response.

Vehicle dynamics analysis becomes more demanding for off-road vehicles’ mobility in unconstructed environments. Significant vehicle orientation changes, extreme changes in ground elevation, and uneven ground profiles at tire-road contact regions, etc. must be taken into account. In addition, the simulation computations should strike a balance between the speed and the accuracy of the results. In this paper, a model with fourteen degrees of freedom is used for vehicle dynamics analysis. Integrated within the model, a comprehensive tire model and a system of instantaneous rotation matrices are programmed to address the effect of more extreme ground profiles on the vehicle dynamics. Additionally, an iterative algorithm is developed to explore and determine the tire-road contact point. The results of simulation for two random scenarios are validated versus a commercial vehicle dynamics software showing consistency of results.

Abstract Easy-to-use tire models for vehicle dynamics have been persistently studied for such applications as control design and model-based on-line estimation. This paper proposes a modified combined-slip tire model based on Dugoff tire. The proposed model takes emphasis on less time consumption for calculation and uses a minimum set of parameters to express tire forces. Modification of Dugoff tire model is made on two aspects: one is taking different tire/road friction coefficients for different magnitudes of slip and the other is employing the concept of friction ellipse. The proposed model is evaluated by comparison with the LuGre tire model. Although there are some discrepancies between the two models, the proposed combined-slip model is generally acceptable due to its simplicity and easiness to use. Extracting parameters from the coefficients of a Magic Formula tire model based on measured tire data, the proposed model is further evaluated by conducting a double lane change maneuver, and simulation results show that the trajectory using the proposed tire model is closer to that using the Magic Formula tire model than Dugoff tire model.

In this contribution, measurement data of phase, neutral, and ground currents from real low voltage (LV) feeders in Germany is presented and analyzed. The data obtained is used to review and evaluate common modeling approaches for LV systems. An alternative modeling approach for detailed cable and ground modeling, which allows for the consideration of typical German LV earthing conditions and asymmetrical cable design, is proposed. Further, analytical calculation methods for model parameters are described and compared to laboratory measurement results of real LV cables. The models are then evaluated in terms of parameter sensitivity and parameter relevance, focusing on the influence of conventionally performed simplifications, such as neglecting house junction cables, shunt admittances, or temperature dependencies. By comparing measurement data from a real LV feeder to simulation results, the proposed modeling approach is validated.

A variety of studies recently proved the applicability of different dried, fine-grained dredged materials as replacement material for erosion-resistant sea dike covers. In Rostock, Germany, a large-scale field experiment was conducted, in which different dredged materials were tested with regard to installation technology, stability, turf development, infiltration, and erosion resistance. The infiltration experiments to study the development of a seepage line in the dike body showed unexpected measurement results. Due to the high complexity of the problem, standard geo-hydraulic models proved to be unable to analyze these results. Therefore, different methods of inverse infiltration modeling were applied, such as the parameter estimation tool (PEST) and the AMALGAM algorithm. In the paper, the two approaches are compared and discussed. A sensitivity analysis proved the presumption of a non-linear model behavior for the infiltration problem and the Eigenvalue ratio indicates that the dike infiltration is an ill-posed problem. Although this complicates the inverse modeling (e.g., termination in local minima), parameter sets close to an optimum were found with both the PEST and the AMALGAM algorithms. Together with the field measurement data, this information supports the rating of the effective material properties of the applied dredged materials used as dike cover material.
