In contrast to refrigeration circuits in internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs) mainly used for cabin cooling, in electric vehicles (EVs) additional functions need to be taken into consideration, e.g., cabin heating, which in ICEVs is realized by the combustion engine’s waste heat, conditioning of the electric battery and drive train components. Additionally, each of these functions demands a different temperature level. Therefore, requirements towards the thermal management in EVs are more challenging. In modern EVs most of these functions are realized by direct refrigerant circuits, which are optimal in terms of efficiency and response time, however, result in greater complexity and different architectures for almost every vehicle model. In addition, the vast majority of EVs worldwide use chemical refrigerants that contain PFAS, e.g. R1234yf, which are known to be persistent and harmful for human health and environment.

For electric vehicles, road noise, together with wind noise, is the most important contributor for vehicle interior noise. Road noise is very dependent on the NVH behavior of axle system including wheels and tires. Axle system is part of vehicle platform which should be compatible with different body variants. Therefore, il is important to characterize the NVH performance of an axle system independently of car body structure, so that the design the axle can be optimized at the early stage according to the global requirements of all the related vehicles. The best way to characterize the NVH performance of an axle system is to measure the blocked forces on an appropriate test rig. However, the measurement of blocked forces from an axle system requires very stiff boundary conditions which is difficult to achieve in practice. For axles with rigid mountings, it is nearly impossible to measure the blocked forces on test rig.

Electromechanical actuators (EMAs) play a crucial role in aircraft electrification, offering advantages in terms of aircraft-level weight, rigging and reliability compared to hydraulic actuators. To prevent backdriving, skewed roller braking devices called "no-backs" are employed to provide braking torque. These technology components are continuing to be improved with analysis driven design innovations eg. U.S. Pat. No. 8,393,568. The no-back mechanism has the rollers skewed around their own transverse axis that allow for a combination of rolling and sliding against the stator surfaces. This friction provides the necessary braking torque that prevents the backdriving. By controlling the friction radius and analyzing the Hertzian contact stresses, the brake can be sized for the desired duty cycle. No-backs can be configured to provide braking torque for both tensile and compressive backdriving loads.
