Interaction between asymmetrical damping and geometrical nonlinearity in vehicle suspension systems improves comfort
(2020-01-01)
This work explores the role of asymmetrical damping and geometrical nonlinearities in the suspension system of a simplified vehicle model in order to improve comfort. Improving comfort for passengers is a constant challenge ...
Unrest index for estimating thermal comfort of poultry birds (Gallus gallus domesticus) using computer vision techniques
(2021-06-01)
Behaviour can be used to infer animal welfare states. Poultry birds tend to move less under conditions of thermal stress; hence the hypothesis of this research is that this unrest behaviour can be used as an indicator of ...
