Cleaning ship's fouling can increase the speed up to 95–98% of the original value, decrease
fuel costs, increase the ship's maneuverability, and reduce impeller damage by reducing …

In this paper, the novel concept of oscillatory gutter brushes of road sweepers is studied
experimentally. Their effectiveness in removing different debris types is studied by means of …

This paper examines the side brush control technologies for a novelty semi-autonomous
road sweeper design. This study proposes a side brush structure and offers a brush control …

Rotary cup brushes mounted on each side of a road sweeper undertake heavy debris
removal tasks but the characteristics have not been well known until recently. A Finite …

This paper discusses some aspects of brush control techniques for a concept of a novel
semi-autonomous road sweeper. One of the main difficulties of develo** such a robot …

The removal ability of gutter brushes for road swee** for various debris types and different
swee** parameters is studied through experimental tests. The brushing test rig used …

Litter on roadways has to be removed for hygiene and to reduce pollution, amongst other
reasons. Therefore, the effective operation of street sweepers is important in the collection of …

In this work, the concept of oscillatory brushes is studied. The main aims are to develop a
generic, dynamic finite element model of oscillatory brushes and to study the effects of brush …

In finite element modeling of impact, it is necessary to define appropriate values of the
normal contact stiffness, Kn, and the Integration Time Step (ITS). Because impacts are …

Nowadays, brake disc manufacturers are seeking new finishing techniques to offer
economical solutions to their customers and so become more competitive. The elimination of …
