AN ANALYSIS OF THE NONLINEAR TORSIONAL VIBRATIONS IN THE POWERTRAINS CAUSED BY THE IDLE PARTS IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS

An analysis of the nonlinear torsional vibrations in the powertrains caused by the idle parts in the automatic transmissions

The number of speed changes of stepped automatic transmissions (ATs) for vehicles is increased in order to optimize the operating points of internal combustion engines.As a result, the mechanical structure of ATs has become increasingly complex.This advanced complexity leads to torsional vibration in ATs.Computational simulations are carried out ut

Uptake of the glycosphingolipid sulfatide in the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas in vivo and in isolated islets of Langerhans

Abstract Background The glycosphingolipid sulfatide has previously been found in several mammalian tissues, but information on the uptake of exogenously administered sulfatide in different organs in vivo is limited.In pancreatic beta cells, sulfatide has been shown to be involved in insulin processing and secretion in vitro.In this study, we examin

Development of Building Thermal Load and Discomfort Degree Hour Prediction Models Using Data Mining Approaches

Thermal load and indoor comfort level are two important building performance indicators, rapid predictions of which can help significantly reduce the computation time during design optimization.In this paper, a three-step approach is used to develop and evaluate prediction models.Firstly, the Latin Hypercube Sampling Method (LHSM) is used to genera
