It has long been accepted that tire wear is directly related to the energy generated due to shear at the contact patch. Tire wear at any given point on the contact patch [...]

Most commercial heavy-duty truck trailers are equipped with either a two sensor, one modulator (2S1M) or four sensor, two modulator (4S2M) anti-lock braking system (ABS).[...]

Tire Force and Moment Testing is the most important aspect of data-driven tire modeling and characterization. Conventionally, huge tire force and moment testing machines [...]

Naturally aspirated internal combustion (IC) engines with conventional intake assembly are tuned only over a narrow speed range to produce an induction boost by capitaliz[...]

Modified codes have been developed to improve semi-empirical tire modeling using the 2002 and MF6.1.2(2012) versions of the steady-state, pure side-slip Pacejka model. Th[...]

The exhaust system has a significant effect on the breathing capability of an IC engine, which when increased, increases the volumetric efficiency. Due to the sudden open[...]

CORBIN COE. Experimental Study for Detection of Thermal Runaway, Explosion, and Fire in Li-Ion Batteries Initiated by Hot Plate Method(Under the direction of DR. NICOLE B[...]

This thesis focuses upon using a high-order finite-difference method on a structured overset grid to study flow features around a generic simplified car model adjusting m[...]

This thesis presents research for making an All-terrain Vehicle (ATV) autonomous. The objective of this research is to have a standardized platform for autonomous ATV mod[...]

Optimally modulating a vehicle's speed profile through highway, urban, and suburban environments can result in pronounced fuel savings, particularly with heavy-duty vehic[...]
