Braking Availability Tester (BAT) for Winter Runway
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-29)This thesis is concerned with the development of a new measurement device for the realistic assessment of braking capability of landing airplanes for winter runways. Landing represents one of the most safety-critical ... -
Dynamic Model Identification and Trajectory Correction for Virtual Process Planning in Multi-Axis Machine Tools
(University of Waterloo, 2019-07-24)In today’s industry, the capability to effectively reduce production time and cost gives a manufacturer a vital advantage against its competitors. Specifically, in the machining industry, the ability to simulate the dynamic ... -
Friction-induced Vibration in Lead Screw Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2009-05-13)Lead screw drives are used in various motion delivery systems ranging from manufacturing to high precision medical devices. Lead screws come in many different shapes and sizes; they may be big enough to move a 140 tons ... -
Improvement to Highway Safety through Network Level Friction Testing and Cost Effective Pavement Maintenance
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-18)Pavements encompass a significant component of the total civil infrastructure investment. In Ontario, the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) is responsible for the maintenance and construction of approximately 39,000 ... -
Integrated estimation structure for the tire friction forces in ground vehicles
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2016-07)This paper presents a novel corner-based force estimation method to monitor tire capacities required for the traction and stability control systems. This is entailed for more advanced vehicle stability systems in harsh ... -
Mitigation of Climate Change Impacts on Runway Friction Kuujjuaq Airport
(University of Waterloo, 2014-04-17)In response to global climate change, Transport Canada has initiated a Climate Change Adaptation Study in order to provide an opportunity to improve knowledge of the impacts of climate change on transportation infrastructure ... -
Validation of Volumetric Contact Dynamics Models
(University of Waterloo, 2011-05-05)A volumetric contact dynamics model has been proposed by Gonthier et al. [1, 2, 3] for the purpose of rapidly generating reliable simulations of space-based manipulator contact dynamics. By assuming materials behave as a ...
