The application of a band variable-inertia flywheel to an urban transit bus

Creator:

Moosavi-Rad, Hamid

Abstract:

This dissertation investigates by means of computer simulation the potential of a Band Variable-Inertia Flywheel (BVIF) to store energy for an urban transit bus. Replacing both a fixed-inertia flywheel (FIF) and a continuously variable transmission (CVT), the Band Variable-Inertia Flywheel is capable of accelerating a vehicle from rest to a...

Dissertation
Using discrete-event simulation to study the influence of log yard sorting on sawmill processing efficiency of small-diameter timber

Creator:

Pinon, Olivia J.

Abstract:

A sawmill is similar to other manufacturing enterprises when it comes to making decisions, scheduling production and meeting customer demands. In order to help sawmills achieve their goals, and because there is such a high degree of variability in the raw material used in this industry, computer simulation has proven...
