Simulating off-highway hybrids
With customers squeezed by fuel costs, off-highway OEMs are showing
some interest in developing hybrid equipment. CAE simulation tools
are needed because of lack of experience with such devices. Their
functional complexity requires control system simulation throughout
their lives.
A hose is a hose is a hose
Researchers develop a method for the precise mounting of a
hydraulic hose model.
Integrity sensing for safety
Researchers from Purdue developed a capacitance-based method for
monitoring the integrity of tires, hoses, and other polymeric
products during manufacturing and throughout the useful product
life.
