Track foundation stiffness (also referred as the track modulus) is one of the main parameters that affect the track performance, and thus, quantifying its magnitudes and variations along the track is widely accepted as a method for evaluating the tra...
Nonlinear dissipative phenomena are common features of many dynamical systems and engineering applications, and their experimental characterization has always been a challenge among the research community. Within the wide range of nonlinear damping m...
Minor differences in the vibration characteristics of a vehicle may greatly influence the comfort experienced by the driver. Therefore, such characteristics are significant in the process of vehicle development. In this experimental study, just-notic...
Regenerative suspension systems, unlike traditional passive, semi-active or active setups, are able to convert the traditionally wasted kinetic energy into electricity. This paper discusses flexible multi-objective control design strategies based on...
The purpose of the present investigation was to examine the acute effects of whole body vibration (WBV) on isometric mid-thigh pull force–time curve (FTC) characteristics. Eleven recreationally trained subjects were randomly assigned to three t...
This paper introduces a nonparametric, nonlinear system identification toolbox called SAMI (simplified analysis for multiple input systems) developed for industrial measurements of vibro-acoustic systems with multiple inputs. It addresses the questio...
Functionally graded materials (FGMs) have wide applications in different branches of engineering such as aerospace, mechanics, and biomechanics. Investigation of the mechanical behaviors of structures made of these materials has been performed widely...
