Ride Performance Analysis of Multi-Axle Combat Vehicles

Effects of Drinking Water Containing Aluminum and Fluoride Salts on the Learning Behavior and Brain Neurotransmitters of Male Rat Offspring

“…It is also believed that the infants might be at particular risk of aluminum toxicity because of the immaturity of their blood-brain barrier and the sensitivity of their digestive and renal systems [2] . In addition, aluminum is able to cross the placenta and deposit in all tissues, especially the brain, and hence induces profoundly deleterious effects in animals' offspring [4] . Aluminum forms a stable complex with glutamic acids; therefore, glutamic acid is consequently unable to detoxify ammonia from neurons to produce glutamine [5] .…”

Investigation of the Ride Response of a Multi-wheeled Combat Vehicle in Pitch-Bounce Plane

“…The multi-wheeled all-terrain armored vehicles used in transporting troops need several conflicting requirements such as high stability, comfort ride and road-friendly interaction [1].This type of vehicles is characterized by relatively higher weight and normally driven at higher speed over rough terrains [2]. Additionally, improving ride performance enables the driver to either has a more comfortable ride, and thus be able to drive for longer time and distance or to drive faster at the same level of discomfort [3]. Conventional suspension systems offer a trade-off between ride comfort and vehicle handling, and their performance is often limited by this compromise.…”

“…Good design of a passive suspension cannot eliminate this trade-off, but can improve ride comfort and vehicle stability [4]. The modeling of a passive and semi-active multi wheeled off-road vehicle has been researched widely by several authors [3,5]. Waleed Faris [6] proposed a three mathematical multi-axles semi-active suspension models namely; 2-axle, 3-axle, & 4-axle.…”
