This paper presents a formalization of the energy management problem in hybrid electric
vehicles and a comparison of three known methods for solving the resulting optimization …

A dynamic system model is proper for a particular application if it achieves the accuracy
required by the application with minimal complexity. Because model complexity often—but …

Hybrid propulsion systems are one of the critical technologies on the roadmap to future ultra-
efficient trucks. While there is a significant body of work related to hybrid passenger cars and …

The global energy situation, the dependence of the transportation sector on fossil fuels, and
a need for a rapid response to the global warming challenge, provide a strong impetus for …

This paper describes a test cell setup for concurrent running of a real engine and a vehicle

An accurate modeling of gun barrel temperature variation over time is important to assess
wear and the number of shot fires needed to reach cook-off. Using lumped parameter …

A nonintrusive measurement technique is presented numerically for simultaneous
measurement of three-dimensional (3D) soot temperature and volume fraction fields in the …

The fuel economy benefits of any given hybrid technology depend greatly on the vehicle
type, size, supervisory control and driving schedule. The main goal of this work is to develop …

An estimated 230,000 above-knee amputees in India are currently in need of prosthetic
devices, a majority of them facing severe socio-economic constraints. However, only a few …
