Severe C-SCI and hypoalbuminemia played important roles in predicting respiratory complications among the patients with upper CSI and neurological impairment. In addition, levels of neurological injury, quadriplegia, atlanto-axial fractures, smoking history, and electrolyte disturbances are also valuable indicators for these complications. Moreover, prevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia was crucial in the treatment of these patients. However, a screening for deep venous thrombosis was seemingly unnecessary in our patients.
In this paper, finite element method was adopted to solve the Steering wheel shimmy problem. Firstly, finite element model of the whole steering system from the knuckle to the steering wheel is conducted, and be verified by test. After modeling and verification, it is possible for the FE model to identify a natural frequency that contributes reasonably to the shimmy phenomenon in the steering wheel. Secondly the frequency spectrum of acceleration which is obtained based on test is loaded at the knuckle to simulate steering wheel shimmy. Finally, the sequential quadratic programming is performed to optimize steering system structure and improve the isolation performance based on this model. The plate thickness and stiffness of bushing are set as discrete optimization variables, and the Y-direction acceleration of steering wheel at 12 o'clock is set as the objective function. The successful solution of the steering wheel shimmy of a passenger car proves that this method is efficacious.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
