General principles of expanding the speed range of operation of autonomous power supply systems for passenger cars by S. L. Samoshkin, S. S. Mironov, O. S. Samoshkin, M. V. Khodenkov, A. S. Sarikov

“…It is solved by forcing the excitation of the generators.Analysis of modern systems of autonomous power supply of passenger cars showed that the expansion of the speed range of its operation can be achieved in three ways:•             raising the gear ratio of the gearbox to ensure it is switched on to the nominal mode at a carriage speed of 15 - 20 km/h without changing the parameters of the generator and the entire system of autonomous power supply;•             modernization of the electrical equipment complex for passenger cars to ensure the operation of the main power consumers and charge the battery while driving at low speeds (over 18 km/h) without changing the mechanical parameters and composition of the serial generator-drive unit;•             modernization of the generator in order to reduce its turnon revolutions to the power required to provide the main power consumers without changing the mechanical parameters of the drive.All three methods have its advantages and disadvantages, the choice of any of them is determined by the technical requirements for a specific car model.…”

Preparation and Characterization of Rubber Blends for Industrial Tire Tread Fabrication by B. Mensah, B. Agyei-Tuffour, E. Nyankson, Y. D. Bensah, D. Dodoo-Arhin, J. K. Bediako, B. Onwona-Agyeman, A. Yaya

“…The tensile, hardness, resilience, abrasion, and fatigue behavior were investigated. An optimized composition involving 30 phr of ENR and 70 phr SBR filled with mixtures of carbon blacks and silanized silica was proposed to be a suitable composition for the future development of green passenger truck tires, with low rolling resistance (fuel saving ability), high wear resistance, and desired fatigue failure properties.…”

Model Range of Unified Power Drives for Commercial Electric Transport by Sergey N. Poddubko, Alexander V. Belevich, Mikhail V. Kalinin, Pavel E. Shabanau

“…The peculiarity of the work is the realization of the concept of reducing the cost of production of electromechanical power units (EMPU) of electric vehicles by unification of units and components included in its composition. When forming a number of unified electric power drives, the components were subjected to a set of design, layout, technological and economic requirements ensuring the production on their basis of cargo or passenger electric vehicles with gross weight from 3.5 to 12 t, which corresponds to vehicle categories N1, N2, M2, M3. …”
