Abstract:

Background: Horse riding is a hazardous activity with the potential for serious injury. Equestrian-related injuries account for a higher rate of injury per number of riding hours than motorcyclists and automobile racers. There is a lack of literature pertaining to equestrian-related brain injuries. The objectives of this study were to describe the incidence, characteristics, and mechanisms of equestrian-related brain injuries sustained amongst Canadians between 1990 and 2014. Methods: Data were obtained from the Canadian Hospitals Injury Reporting and Prevention Program (CHIRPP) database. The study population consisted of individuals who sustained equestrian-related brain injuries between the years 1990 and 2014 and presented to one of 15 participating emergency departments. Results: Brain injuries accounted for 13.3% (N=1060) of all equestrian-related injuries. The greatest proportion of injuries occurred amongst individuals aged 15-19 years, followed by individuals aged 0-4 years. The predominant mechanism of injury was falls. 17.9% of individuals were admitted to hospital. Normalized rates of injury increased from 1990 to 2010. Conclusions: Brain injuries sustained while participating in equestrian are often of a greater severity than injuries sustained while participating in other recreational activities. A clear understanding of the epidemiology and mechanisms of equestrian-related brain injuries must be achieved in order to effectively implement prevention efforts.

Abstract:

The new world of the automobile was a male domain, but women in Los Angeles broke gender-based barriers when they drove in endurance runs and car races, used automobiles to mobilize for the “Votes for Women” amendment, organized car parades to overturn a no-parking ordinance, and influenced auto manufacturers to add new features for safety, comfort, and custom design. Although all the founders of the Automobile Club of Southern California were men, Miss Sybil Geary emerged as the dynamic leader of the club by expanding the organization’s membership, hiring women service representatives, launching programs to install informational road signage, and leading research and lobbying efforts to enact the first comprehensive regulatory regime for the automobile in the state of California in 1913.

Abstract:

The purpose of the publication is to reveal the essence of automobile movement in Sumy as a social cause, to describe its main tendencies and indicate the role of individuals in the development of local motorism. The topicality of the research is preconditioned by the lack of scientific investigation on this topic, as well as the need to supplement the general picture of the development of motorism in the Russian Empire. Various aspects of automobile traffic in Sumy have been considered (the concept of “automobile movement” is indicated in the meaning of a social phenomenon): auto trade, auto repair, the introduction of local traffic rules, automobile accidents, the formation of a stratum of drivers and car owners, their participation in races and rallies. In particular, the businesses of the owner of the first car dealership in Sumy Kaidansky and his competitor Poguliaichenko are mentioned as well as the existence of the Gerenshtein-Yankovsky auto repair shop. The main traffic rules adopted by the Sumy City Duma in 1908 are specified. On the basis of reports of the local press, typical traffic violations with the participation of cars are analyzed: crashes with horse-drawn vehicles, speeding, drunk driving, cutting in buildings and pedestrians. Special attention is paid to the public organization of motorists – Sumy Automobile Club established in 1912. In particular, the main provisions of the club’s statute, the rights and obligations of its participants have been analyzed. The names of some of its members have been specified. The activity of the organization and its place in the all-Russian automobile traffic have been assessed. The role of Sumy passionaries of motorism – entrepreneurs Ivan Leshchinsky and Eduard Kaidansky is emphasized. In particular, their participation in races and runs is mentioned. At the same time, the Moscow – Berlin – Paris rally where the Kaidansky team took part on a Mitchell car is covered more widely. Also, the brands of cars of Leshchinsky’s garage are named and the preferences for the cars of the sugar producer Pavel Kharitonenko are revealed. The appearance of departmental cars at the Sumy district administration is analyzed, the need for their use in the economic needs of the local government is determined. The duties of the zemstvo in the use of transport to the military department are clarified. The names of some of the chauffeurs who worked for private individuals and in the zemstvo are identified.

Abstract:

Automobile deep groove ball bearings experience severe contact stresses during vehicle maneuvering near the contact with inner and outer races. The accurate prediction of the contact stresses and life estimation of ball bearings has always been challenging, following the complex nature of the contact involved and the resulting rolling contact fatigue (RCF). The present paper performs the finite element (FE) analysis by using a general FE code, abaqus to accurately predict the contact stresses, bearing loads and bearing life in form of ISO 281 (1990) life of an automobile wheel hub ball bearings. Lundberg and Palmgren method is employed for the determination of the bearing life. RomaxDESIGNER, a bearing design software, is also applied to consider the effects of various bearing life adjustment factors, which are used to determine the DIN ISO 281 life. Large amount of bearing failure field data is used to validate the predictions from the study, achieving a very good correlation. Theoretical contact stress calculations based on the Hertz contact theory are also presented for each load case. Finally, an attempt has been made to develop a relation between the contact stress and the bearing life for the hub assembly ball bearings.

Abstract:

In the late 1960s, a novel engineering idea was introduced into American automobiles-Oldsmobile, for example, began implementation of it in 1968. Prior to that time, the outboard ends of automotive rear axle drive shafts were, in most cases, supported by conventional roller bearing assemblies. Then some clever chap came up with the idea that the inner races of the bearing assemblies could be eliminated if the surfaces of the axle shafts could be made as hard as the bearing races. This was accomplished by choosing an axle shaft material which could be induction hardened to produce a layer of sufficient thickness and hardness, thus effectively integrating the bearing inner race with the axle shaft. The rollers ran directly on the axle shaft surface. The new axle shafts displayed superior torsional strength over the old style. Undoubtedly, other engineering and design benefits accrued to this idea.

Abstract:

In rotating machinery, rolling elements are the key members of the rolling element bearing (REB), which has tremendous application in automobiles, aerospace, ships, machinery apparatuses, and many more industrial sectors. Bearings are a significant source of various non-linear parameters which strongly affect the whole system. In the last two decades, tremendous research and approaches have been developed, considering the different parameters and faultiness for the proper understanding of the system’s non-linear behavior. This research paper summarizes the literature review on bearing fault diagnosis with localized and distributed defects for rolling element bearings with various non-linear parameters. Artificially-generated defects on the bearing races provides the vibration analysis of the system. These factors like radial clearance, unbalanced force, preload, misalignment, etc. are also considered defects in bearings. Moreover, the literature highlights some significant gaps that should be examined for future research in the condition monitoring of the mechanism.

Abstract:

AbstractWheel rims are vital components critical to the safety of an automobile. Conventional wheel rims have utilized monolithic materials like aluminium and magnesium alloys in replacement to heavier steel rims. To reduce the weight of the formula car, lightweight composite wheel rims with higher stiffness are explored in the current work. Composite wheel rims are still in their nascent stage for commercial automotive applications, although they are commonly seen more in motorsports. The factors like complex design, high cost, and difficulty in fabrication are some of the demerits of composite wheel rims. Formula Manipal racing has been building race cars for Formula India events for over 13 years, on which aluminium wheel rims were standardly fitted. In the current work, the design and finite element analysis of carbon fibre wheels rims were undertaken to replace the aluminium wheel rims after a thorough consideration of other potential materials also. The modelling was carried out on CATIA3DX®, and finite element analysis was carried out using the ANSYS COMPOSITE PREP/POST (ACP)® module for laminate stackup and structural analysis tools for mechanical response. From the studies, the carbon fibre rims reduced the weight significantly by 42% while improving the factor of safety by 41% as compared to the current aluminium wheel rims while thermally outperforming magnesium and titanium alloys.

Abstract:

quot;Boy racersquot; or quot;hoonsquot; attract extensive media attention and are often the focus of public concern. Discourses about quot;hooningquot; often focus on notions of public safety and illegal behaviour. What is largely absent from these debates is alternative explanations as to why young people choose to engage in quot;hooningquot; behaviour, what drives them to congregate in public spaces and why they choose to express themselves through an quot;autocentricquot; culture. When these issues are addressed it is usually within broader policy frameworks which seek ways of dissipating youth activities in spaces constructed as quot;trouble spotsquot;. This thesis represents an attempt to provide a reverse discourse about youth car culture and young people's presence in public spaces. Criminal activity not withstanding, youth car culture behaviour in this context is treated as a legitimate form of cultural expression that has the same social validity as other non-mainstream phenomena. Through feminist and poststructuralist understandings of identities, landscapes and place, the complexities of youth car culture will be unpacked in an attempt to expose quot;concernsquot; which may turn out to be little more than moral panic.

Abstract:

La thèse " Modélisation mécanique et géométrique tridimensionnelle du rachis thoracique et lombaire en configuration de choc automobile " est une coopération entre le Laboratoire de Biomécanique de l'ENSAM de Paris (LBM) et le Laboratoire d'Accidentologie et Biomécanique (LAB) crée par les constructeurs PSA - Peugeot Citroën - et Renault. Elle porte sur la réalisation d'un modèle numérique du rachis thoracique et lombaire, représenté en position assise, et validé dans le domaine statique et surtout dynamique. Il a pour vocation d'être intégré au sein d'un modèle entier d'" être humain ", ce qui permettra d'améliorer la réponse lésionnelle de ce dernier lors d'une simulation de choc automobile.Le sujet se divise en trois parties : une recherche bibliographique dans laquelle nous avons recensé les articles portant sur les axes instantanés de rotation de segments rachidiens ainsi que les auteurs ayant étudié le comportement expérimental du rachis en dynamique. Enfin, nous avons recensé les articles portant sur la modélisation de la colonne vertébrale et sur la validation de ces modèles ; une partie expérimentale dans laquelle nous avons étudié le comportement dynamique de segments rachidiens thoraciques, thoraco-lombaires et lombaires. Les sollicitations dynamiques, imposées sous forme d'impacts, reproduisent des mouvements purs de flexion, torsion et inflexion. Les influences ligamentaires ont été quantifiées par des sections successives sur chaque spécimen. La volonté d'imposer des couples les plus purs possibles a nécessité la réalisation d'un banc d'essais complémentaire afin de connaître les positions des axes instantanés de rotation des spécimens testés ; une partie modélisation qui consiste à réaliser un modèle " éléments finis " du rachis lombaire et thoracique validé en statique par les données de la littérature et en dynamique par les expérimentations décrites précédemment.

Abstract:

In this study, experimental tests and Computational Fluid Dynamics are used to investigate the aerodynamic performance of two types of track-based racing cars. After the literature study, where automotive aerodynamics is discussed in very general terms, the air flow beneath a Formula One Grand Prix Racing Car is investigated. This is achieved by fitting the under-tray of a 30% scale model of the Parmalat Forti Ford FGO 1-95 with surface-static pressure ports and testing the model in a rolling-road wind tunnel. By varying a number of model parameters, it is found that the wheels significantly alter the pressure distribution under the floor of the racing car at positions away from the centre-line. It is shown that the front or rear wheel sets are independently sufficient to induce the flow changes. The addition of the other set then only produces milder and more local changes. The numerical part of the floor investigation is aimed at reproducing the centre-line flow pattern by solving the full Reynolds-Average Navier-Stokes equations over a two-dimensional curvilinear grid of the isolated floor. Two algorithms, Roe's flux-difference splitting method and the commercial package, STAR-CD which employs the SIMPLE algorithm and a two-equation turbulence model, are used to solve the governing equations. It is found that although the correct trends are observed when two different ride heights are simulated, absolute correlation is inadequate despite the use of experimentally-controlled boundary conditions. The simulations are however used to demonstrate the saturation in downforce with increasing vehicle speed. In order to improve numerical accuracy, a second study was launched where the effect of including the centre-line profile of the complete vehicle is investigated. To reduce the amount of detail a 1/12th scale model of a generic BMW Touring Car is used. Experimental data in the form of centre-line surface-static pressure coefficients are used for numerical correlation. The data is obtained by testing the three-dimensional model in a wind tunnel fitted with a stationary-road raised-platform floor. To establish continuity, the experimental data is used to show the similarities between the pressure distribution on the centre line of the open-wheel and the closed-wheel racing car. The effect of a rear-mounted aerodynamic device on the downforce is also discussed. The numerical investigation using the SIMPLE algorithm of STAR-CD and three high Reynolds-Number turbulence models, is based on the centre-line profile of the experimental model. It is seen that although qualitative correlation exists in areas around the car, quantitative agreement is less positive. Discrepancies are found to be most significant under the floor. It is shown that the influence of the three dimensional flow field on the experimental results are unlikely to cause satisfactory correlation. It is suggested that, in order to improve correlation, a new investigation is launched aimed at refining the numerical model. An outline for the new study is presented and includes simulations indicating the dependence of the computational solution on the density of the grid and on the user-definable turbulence parameters.

Abstract:

Chapter 7 describes Headen’s difficulties expanding his coalition strategy as he moved from auto manufacturing to auto racing in the mid-1920s. Documented are his reconfiguration of the Afro-American Automobile Association to focus on dirt-track racing; his career as an auto racer and race promoter; and internal rifts within his coalition based on gender, professional competition, and religious and political differences. The chapter explores defections from the coalition by women and religious figures, upset over the switch from a business model dedicated to racial advancement to a track culture steeped in profanity, alcohol, and danger; departures by political conservatives upset over the selection of a prominent black nationalist as the Association’s publicist; and Headen’s rejection by fellow race organizers competing directly with him for audiences. These internal conflicts, which eventually splintered both the Association and Headen’s marriage, ultimately revealed the limits of the “coalition economics” model.

Abstract:

This chapter begins with Charlus's letter to Aimé: an example of unilateral insanity in an intelligent man addressing an imbecile endowed with sense. Aimé belongs to a race more ancient than that of the prince, therefore more noble. The chapter then highlights Charlus and Morel's automobile excursions which are usually confined to a lunch or dinner along the coast. Morel, who believes himself to be a thousand times more important than Charlus, completely misunderstands the baron's arrogant information about the aristocracy. The one thing that Morel sets above the nobility is his artistic reputation and what others might think of him in the violin class. The chapter then further elaborates on Charlus's and Brichot's debate on the literary worth of Balzac's novels. It concludes with the Narrator's discussion about his friendship with the Comte de Crécy, a gentleman without means but of extreme distinction.

Chapter 3 explores Toyota Corporation’s hybrid automobile, the Prius, as a consumer icon of green virtue, charting media representations that portray the Prius as a vehicle of ecopiety as practiced through acts of consumopiety. It then sharply contrasts these eco-pious cultural readings of the Prius with ones that are intensely hostile and resistant. Drawing insight from “moral foundations theory” and its theorized connections to political disparities in environmental attitudes, this chapter’s media analysis of the Prius provides an opening into the complex incongruities between media “encoding” and media “decoding,” as messages of the Prius as icon of “environmental piety” get filtered through different power dimensions of class, gender, sexuality, and race. The resulting oppositional narratives give rise to the new and fascinating “subgenre” of pornography called “pollution porn.” This chapter probes seemingly unlikely, but nonethelessoperative, class-based media interventions into a dominant environmental discourse that is often perceived to be elitist, self-righteous, and smug.

Abstract:

The paper focuses on the internal construction of an original Constant Power Continuously Variable Transmission (CP-CVT). In a recent publication the authors have introduced the fundamentals of the kinematics and dynamics of the CP-CVT. The present study focuses on the optimisation of the CP-CVT’s internal geometry and the size of its active elements in order to obtain maximum power transmitted with least variation over a range of transmission ratio. The paper concludes that for a specific geometry the CP-CVT presented offers promising characteristics that recommend it as a good candidate in the race of developing a new generation of the automobiles’ powertrain.

Abstract:

Suspension is one of the most important assemblies in modern automobile. The performance of suspension determines the whole vehicle performance, so the design and optimization of suspension system is an important part of automobile overall design. Under the background of the China University formula car race, this paper takes the suspension system of the University formula car designed by the team as the research object, and mainly carries out the following research work: 1, The type of suspension is determined by comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the structure; 2. Parameter design of the suspension, including the selection of wheel alignment parameters, suspension geometry drawing, various stiffness calculation, damping coefficient calculation, etc.; 3. According to the results of parameter design, the design and assembly of various parts of the suspension system are carried out; 4. Based on ADAMS / car simulation platform, The kinematics simulation model of the front and rear suspension is established, and the simulation analysis of the model is carried out to find out the variation range of parameters and find out the unreasonable performance parameters, which directly affects the handling stability and ride comfort of the racing car, so the reasonable design of the suspension system is of great significance to improve the performance of the formula racing car. To sum up, in order to improve the driving stability of formula racing car and make it have the appropriate ability of vibration attenuation, this paper designs the suspension system based on the third spring structure. This makes the structure of suspension linear stiffness and roll stiffness decoupled, so as to ease the contradiction between handling stability and ride comfort, so as to achieve the purpose that the third spring and lateral stabilizer bar manage the linear stiffness and roll stiffness respectively. Adams / car is used to simulate the dynamics of formula racing car. The results show that the third spring can increase the vertical stiffness and has little effect on the roll stiffness when the wheel jumps in the same direction. However, the influence on the body roll can be ignored in the process of acceleration and braking, but it can effectively inhibit the acceleration and braking. The simulation results show that the third spring can effectively improve the longitudinal performance of the vehicle. The method and experience can provide inspiration and method for the design of the suspension system of formula racing car.

Abstract:

Abstract Global climate change has affected the human race for decades. As a result, severe weather changes and more substantial hurricane impact have become a typical scenario. Utility trucks with the morphing boom equipment are the first responders to access these disaster areas in bad weather conditions and restore the damages caused by the disaster. The stability of the utility trucks while driving in a heavy wind scenario is an essential aspect for the safety of the rescue crew, and aerodynamic forces caused by the wind flow constitute a significant factor that influences the stability of the utility truck. In this paper, the aerodynamic performance of the utility truck is modeled using the incompressible unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (URANS) model. The Ahmed body, a well-recognized benchmark test case used by the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) community for the aerodynamic model validation of automobiles, is used to validate this aerodynamic model. The validated aerodynamic model investigates the impact of heavy wind on the utility truck with the morphing boom equipment. The visualization of the flow field around the utility truck with the force and moment coefficients at various side slip angles are presented in this paper.

Abstract:

Formula Hybrid is a collegiate design competition sponsored by the Society of Automotive Engineers. The competition is a spin-off of the Formula SAE series and requires that students design, build and race an electric-internal combustion engine hybrid automobile. To assist the design process of Texas A&M’s first Formula Hybrid entry, formal functionality-based conceptual design tools were applied to explore and select potential powertrain concepts. These tools included behavioral modeling along with a functionality-based sensitivity analysis. Two levels of model fidelity were used. The first (low) fidelity level was used to screen a large number of powertrain concepts. The second (high) fidelity level was used to select from a smaller but more refined set of concepts. Ultimately, four concepts were identified as suitable to use in a Formula Hybrid car. The results of this analysis were presented to the Texas A&M Formula Hybrid team. The team eventually selected a concept similar to one of the top four concepts in the study (the electric motor, battery capacity, IC engine and powertrain configuration were nearly identical as those used to parameterize the model in the analysis). Texas A&M’s Formula Hybrid team went on to win the 2009 Formula Hybrid competition by scoring 980.9 points out of 1000 (the 2nd place team scored 757.7 points). The results of the analysis done for the Texas A&M Formula Hybrid team are presented in this work along with the suggested powertrain concepts.
