2. Ship motions - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_motions

   The rolling motion towards a steady state (or list) angle due to the ship's own weight distribution is referred in marine engineering as list. List normally refers to an unintentional or unexpected offset, as caused by flooding, battle damage, shifting cargo, etc.

3. Stabilizer (ship) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stabilizer_(ship)

   Active fins are controlled by a gyroscopic control system. When the gyroscope senses the ship roll, it changes the fins' angle of attack so that the forward motion of the ship exerts force to counteract the roll. [1] Fixed fins and bilge keels do not move; they reduce roll by hydrodynamic drag exerted when the ship rolls. Stabilizers are mostly ...

4. Anti-roll bar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-roll_bar

   MacPherson's design replaced the wishbone with a simpler and cheaper track control arm, with a single inboard joint, to control the track. Forward and backward position was controlled through the anti-roll bar. Overall this required a simpler and cheaper set of suspension members than with wishbones, also allowing a reduction in unsprung weight.

5. Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_Dynamic_Suspension...

   The system was invented and developed by Kinetic Pty Ltd, a small R&D company based in Dunsborough, Western Australia. [1] It optimally adjusts front and rear stabilizers based on a set of interconnected hydraulic cylinders. The interconnection is made up of hydraulic piping and a control cylinder which is located at the frame rail. [2]

6. Weigh in motion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weigh_in_motion

   Weigh-in-motion or weighing-in-motion (WIM) devices are designed to capture and record the axle weights and gross vehicle weights as vehicles drive over a measurement site. . Unlike static scales, WIM systems are capable of measuring vehicles traveling at a reduced or normal traffic speed and do not require the vehicle to come to a st

7. DC distribution system (ship propulsion) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_distribution_system...

   DC distribution system allows for new ways of thinking regarding operational optimization. The system is flexible and can combine different energy sources such as engines, turbines, and fuel cells. This means that there is the potential to implement an energy management system that takes into account varying fuel prices and the availability of ...

8. Trailer stability assist - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trailer_stability_assist

   Trailer Stability Assist (TSA), also known as Electronic Trailer Sway Control, [1] is designed to control individual wheel slip to correct potential trailer swing before there is an accident. [2] Although similar to Electronic Stability Control (ESC), TSA is programmed differently and is designed to detect yaw in the tow-vehicle and take ...

9. Independent suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_suspension

   Independent suspension is any automobile suspension system that allows each wheel on the same axle to move vertically (i.e. reacting to a bump on the road) independently of the others. This is contrasted with a beam axle or deDion axle system in which the wheels are linked. "Independent" refers to the motion or path of movement of the wheels or ...
