Development of an e-LSD Control Strategy Considering the Evolution of the Friction Torque with the Wear Depth Authors: Amedeo Tesi, Francesco Vinattieri, Renzo Capitani, Claudio Annicchiarico The Electro actuated Limited Slip Differential (e-LSD) can help increasing the dynamic features of the vehicle, but … Read More

Target Setting and Structural Design of an EPS-In-The-Loop Test Bench for Steering Feeling Simulation Authors: Francesco Vinattieri, Tim Wright, Renzo Capitani, Claudio Annicchiarico, Giacomo Danisi The adoption of Electrical Power Steering (EPS) systems has greatly opened up the possibilities to control the steering wheel torque, … Read More

Tribologic Analysis, Wear Evolution and Torque Trend Estimation of an LSD Clutch Pack Authors: Amedeo Tesi, Emanuele Galvanetto, Claudio Annicchiarico, Renzo Capitani The wear phenomenon in friction clutches involves a variation in the contact pairs characteristics, defining a decay of transmissible torque properties. … Read More

Design and testing of an innovative electro-hydraulic actuator for a semi-active differential Authors: Andrea Pulcinelli, Luca Pugi, Francesco Vinattieri, Renzo Capitani, Claudio Annicchiarico The performance of semi-active differential systems is deeply influenced by the way in which they are actuated. Conventional semi-active systems are … Read More

An integrated artificial neural network–unscented Kalman filter vehicle sideslip angle estimation based on inertial measurement unit measurements Authors: Tommaso Novi, Renzo Capitani, Claudio Annicchiarico Vehicle dynamics stability control systems rely on the amount of so-called sideslip angle and yaw rate. As the … Read More

Development of a real-time steering system model for driving simulator Authors: Cesare Certosini, Francesco Vinattieri, Renzo Capitani, Claudio Annicchiarico Driving simulators have boosted the vehicle design with the introduction of human beings in the simulation loop. For a realistic functioning, the steering system … Read More

FEM thermal analysis of a semi-active differential Authors: Tommaso Novi, Carlo Carcasci, Cesare Certosini, Renzo Capitani, Claudio Annicchiarico A semi-active differential (SAD) is a device which allows the flaws of a standard limited slip differential (LSD) to be overcome in terms of how they … Read More

The Influence of Autonomous Driving on Passive Vehicle Dynamics Authors: Tommaso Novi, Alexander Liniger, Renzo Capitani, Marco Fainello, Giacomo Danisi, Claudio Annicchiarico Traditional vehicles are designed to be inherently stable. This is typically obtained by imposing a large positive static margin (SM). The main drawbacks … Read More

Real-time control for at-limit handling driving on a predefined path Authors: Tommaso Novi, Alexander Liniger, Renzo Capitani, Claudio Annicchiarico Autonomous driving at at-limit handling represents a big challenge due to the nonlinear behaviour of a vehicle. In this paper, a hierarchical control scheme … Read More

Use of a driving simulator to develop a brake-by-wire system designed for electric vehicles and car stability controls Authors: Claudio Annicchiarico, Margherita Montani, Renzo Capitani, Marco Fainello Vehicles with electrical propulsion and energy recovery need specific brake systems able to guarantee the correct … Read More
