The purpose of this 5-week long course is to introduce engineering students to system dynamics and its applications in addressing ill-defined and complex development projects. Throughout this course, ...

Reliability and safety are two inter-relatable terms that define the overall effectiveness of any working system ― be it an electrical system, mechanical system, or a combination of both. The concept ...

Automotive electrical and electronic (E/E) systems are becoming more complex, making the task of designing today’s cars much more difficult. Infotainment, comfort and convenience features, and even ...

Within a decade’s time we will probably have very different electrical systems on trucks than those in use today. Electrical demands on today’s highway trucks have pushed systems to their capacity.

This story appears in the June 13 print edition of Equipment & Maintenance Update, a supplement to Transport Topics. Industry exhibitions of trucking technology would not be the same without trucks ...

The automobile is changing right before our eyes. It’s gradually morphing from a traditional internal-combustion-engine (ICE) vehicle into a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), and then to an all-electric ...

H3 Dynamics, a hydrogen aviation specialist, and XSun, a developer of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), both based in France, announced a partnership targeting solar-hydrogen-electric UAS for ...

Flocks of starlings that produce dazzling patterns across the sky are natural examples of active matter -- groups of individual agents coming together to create collective dynamics. In a study ...

In the past few articles, we have looked into several different building components including structure, HVAC, roofs, in addition to performance based design. One important building component that we ...

Ground loops are a common yet often overlooked issue in building electrical systems. While they may seem minor during design or construction, ground loops can significantly impact system performance ...
