Application of tensor product models for vehicle de-formational processes

Istvan Harmati András Rövid Peter Varlaki

Publication Name: Proceedings of the Mini Conference on Vehicle System Dynamics Identification and Anomalies

Publication Date: 2006-12-01

Page Range: 615-620

Description:

Modelling of vehicle deformational processes plays an important role in car body design and accident analysis. It is a difficult task and usually carried out applying a kind of finite element method. Determination of the absorbed energy by the deformation and the corresponding energy equivalent speed (EES) can be of great importance. Exact determination or measuring of these quantities is almost impossible, so one could estimate them. In this paper we introduce a modeling technique and a model for describing the deformation process. A short description of the main idea: let we have a 3-dimensional rectangular grid on the vehicle body (or on something else). The partition is determined by taking into consideration the energy absorbing properties of the parts of the vehicle, so each cell is approximately homogenous. The cells could be identified as the entries of a tensor of order 3. We concentrate on the energy absorbed by the cells, but not on the physical coordinates of the cells. Energy absorption property (rate of the input and the absorbed energy) of a certain cell could change during the deformational process, so the absorbed energy is calculated using a monotonous decreasing function. These functions can be defined for each possible orthogonal direction of the possible impact. Instead of the original impact we deal with its orthogonal components and the result will be the sum of the particular results. The rectangular grid allows us to compute from level to level. These computations can be realized applying tensor products, the model has low complexity which can be more decreased by complexity reducing methods known from linear algebra.

Evaluation of dummy-head HRTFs in the horizontal plane based on the peak-valley structure in one-degree spatial resolution

No authors available

Publication Name: Institute of Noise Control Engineering of the USA - 35th International Congress and Exposition on Noise Control Engineering, INTER-NOISE 2006

Publication Date: 2006-12-01

Volume: 7

Issue:

Page Range: 4487-4495

Description:

Dummy-heads are often used for standardized measurements where modeling of the human head and torso is relevant. Monaural Head-Related Transfer Functions of a Brüel & Kjaer dummy were measured in the horizontal plane in one-degree spatial resolution. Evaluation is made by plotting the peak-valley structure in frequency. Special frequency and spatial domains can be determined based on the variations of the HRTFs that are relevant to understand physical properties of the dummy -head in measurements and processes of human directional hearing. Symmetries and similarities of measured HRTFs help to scrutinize the perception of directional information in the monaural and binaural evaluation, the "noisy domain" in frequency and space where shadowing of the head occur as well as the filtering effect of the pinna.

Publication Name: IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems

Publication Date: 2006-12-01

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 1045-1048

Description:

This paper presents an approach for controlling very complex traffic intersections with hierarchical fuzzy rules. Fuzzy variables and rules are defined on a basic and also on a higher level. Simulation of road intersections with several lanes and road railroad intersection are presented.

Reduction of vibrations generated by the drive system of rail vehicles

No authors available

Publication Name: Proceedings of the Mini Conference on Vehicle System Dynamics, Identification and Anomalies

Publication Date: 2006-12-01

Volume:

Issue:

Page Range: 177-182

Description:

The vibrations coming from the drive system of the railway vehicle induces damages to the car-body of the vehicle. The aims of the current test were to come into the position of determining the causes of these vibrations, to explore the reduction possibilities, to point out the loci of resonance, to speed up the recognition of failures and the renewal purpose repair processes of the vehicles.

Description:

The Department of Logistics and Forwarding at Széchenyi István University in Györ, Hungary started a project in an automotive industry supplier company. The purpose of the project is to grow the efficiency of the production process. In order to achieve the target we should reorganized the IT system. During the research we had to take the special production circumstances and the already exist ad hock information system into consideration. The article adumbrates the course of the project shortly, the faults of the system, the own-developed new information system and represents how the human failures could be eliminated though RFId application. © 2006 IEEE.

A scalable parallel genetic algorithm for solving linear systems

G. Y. Molnarka

Publication Name: Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Engineering Computational Technology

Publication Date: 2006-12-01

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: Unknown

Description:

For solving linear system of equations is known several algorithms. Iteration algorithms are recommended for the large linear systems with sparse matrix. But in the case of general non-symmetrical or n x m matrices the classic iterative algorithms are not applicable with a few exceptions. For example in some cases the Lanczos type algorithms are adequate. The algorithm presented here based on the minimization of square of residuum of approximate solution and it has some genetic character. Therefore this algorithm seems to be applicable for construction of parallel algorithm. Here we describe a parallel version of proposed algorithm and give its theoretical analysis. © 2006 Civil-Comp Press.
