Contribution to research of thermal loads in commercial vehicles powertrain mounts
Journal Title: Vojnotehnički glasnik - Year 2017, Vol 65, Issue 4
Abstract
Due to the effects of excitations of road micro-roughness and the powertrain as well as due to the conditions of movement (acceleration, braking, curvilinear movement), the weights of commercial vehicles perform complex spatial oscillations. The negative impact of these movements or dynamic loads caused by them and transmitted to the supporting system of the vehicle can be reduced by a proper selection of the position and characteristics of the powertrain mounts. Elastic and damping forces in mounts perform mechanical work that turns into heat energy. Theoretical, experimental and combined methods can be used for the analysis of thermal loads of mounts. In this paper, research was carried out with theoretical methods using a mechanical model of the powertrain. Vibrations were observed on a freight vehicle powertrain of FAP 1314 middle-class vehicles. Bearing in mind the presence of classical (rubbermetal) and hydraulic mounts in modern commercial vehicles, the authors analysed the thermal loads of the mentioned vehicle type using a mathematical model.

Towards making optimal decisions in the Serbian Army for reducing the effects of ordnance explosions
The paper proposes organising a professional team of the Serbian Army members who would, in addition to their regular duties, assess the hazards, risk and threats of possible explosions of explosive materials and suggest...
Decision-making process during the fulfilment of military assignments
The paper deals with the decision-making process in crisis management with focus on the Army of the Czech Republic (soldiers at the University of Defence in Brno). Within the research, 44 soldiers were monitored whilst m...
Electrical properties of various aggregate states of matter
Electrical properties of solids are caused by elastic polarization of clusters in case of metals while those of dielectrics result from the orientation polarization of induced and built-in electric dipoles. Orientation p...

Estimate of projectile initial velocity as a solution of a two-point boundary value problem
The estimating of a projectile initial velocity is formulated as a two-point boundary value problem. To solve it, the data of a Doppler Radar or the results of solving the Cauchy problem can be used. The projectile initi...
