- Control system for tensile testing device using low-cost hardware and open-source software
M. Kranjec, J. Korinšek, M. Ambrož, R. Kunc
Strojniški vestnik/Journal of Mechanical Engineering, marec 2019
Abstract:
The aim of the presented work is to verify whether a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ can be utilized as a low-cost device for controlling a tensile testing device used for material research purposes. A list of requirements based on the already available ...
- Decelerations of Passenger Vehicles on Gravel Arrester Beds
M. Ambrož, J. Trajkovski, R. Kunc
Sustainability, marec 2022
Abstract:
Gravel-filled arrester beds, also called safety-escape ramps or vehicle run-out areas, have long been a road-safety feature for safely stopping heavy road vehicles from running off the road. In the recent past, there has been consideration given to installing these features on highway access ramps to provide safe ...
- Raspberry Pi-Based Low-Cost Connected Device for Assessing Road Surface Friction
M. Ambrož, U. Hudomalj, A. Marinšek, R. Kamnik
Electronics, marec 2019
Abstract:
Measuring friction between the tyres of a vehicle and the road, often and on as many locations on the road network as possible, can be a valuable tool for ensuring traffic safety. Rather than by using specialised equipment for sequential measurements, this can be achieved by ...
- The Importance of Friction Coefficient between Vehicle Tyres and Concrete Safety Barrier to Vehicle Rollover – FE Analysis Study
Jovan Trajkovski, Miha Ambrož, Robert Kunc
Strojniški Vestnik – Journal of Mechanical Engineering, September 2018
Highlights:
• Vehicle-concrete safety barrier (CSB) crash analyses were performed using finite element models.
• Rubber-CSB coefficient of friction was experimentally measured for aged and new blocks.
• Vehicle tyres-CSB coefficient of friction has a significant impact on a vehicle rollover.
• Vehicles with a higher centre ...
- Blast response of Light Armoured Vehicles (LAVs) with flat and V-hull floor
Jovan Trajkovski, Jasenko Perenda, Robert Kunc
Thin-Walled Structures, October 2018
Highlights:
• Blast response analyses of LAVs with flat and V-shaped hull floors were performed.
• A combined Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics – Finite Element (SPH-FE) model was used.
• Effective blast wave dispersion was observed using the V-shape hull floor.
• Local, as well as global vehicle response, is improved using ...
