... to be a practical design solution for windy roads, the proposed method requires applicable measured wind data. Because the statistical properties of wind vary with sites, if a designer wants to improve vehicle safety on a specific windy road, it will be necessary to clearly identify the statistical properties...

...Haoyu Wang; Nam H. Kim; Yoon-Jun Kim In this paper, a safety envelope concept for load tolerance is introduced. This shows the capacity of the current design as a future reference for design upgrade, maintenance, and control. The safety envelope is applied to estimate the load tolerance...

...Sriman Venkatesan; Gary L. Kinzel Bolt-nut connectors play an important role in the safety and reliability of structural systems. Stress concentration due to unequal load distribution can cause fatigue failure in bolt-nut connectors. In this paper, the stress distribution in bolt-nut connectors...

...” ratios, and (3) the weight and safety of a mechanical transmission system. The goal of this work is to review the design process of a lead screw actuator; the result of which will demonstrate significant improvements over the limitations described in item number 3, i.e., the weight and safety...
