Design Optimization of an Integrated E-Type Multilink Suspension Wheel-Side Drive System and Improvement of Vehicle Ride Comfort by Wen Lu, Wenbo Li, Xinbo Chen

“…Based on a configuration analysis of the E-type multilink suspension using the orientation feature set method, the ADAMS platform was used to optimize the hard point coordinates of the suspension with the integrated E-type multilink suspension wheel-side drive system as the object, and the spring stiffness and damper were designed considering the driving smoothness and the grounding of the vehicle. The bushing stiffnesses were determined through tests, and the feasibility of each bushing installation was determined via elastic kinematic simulation of the integrated E-type multilink wheel-side drive system; then, optimization design of bushing stiffness was carried out for ride smoothness. …”

Characteristics of cultivation and development of technical grape varieties on the terraces of the Black Sea region of Odessa by Ishchenko Iryna, Savchuk Yurii, Sapaev Ibrokhim

“…A characteristic feature of these plantations is the increased planting density according to the 1x1 m scheme, which is 10 thousand bushes per hectare. As a result of the conducted research and observations, it was established that, starting from the third year of full fruiting, excessive thickening of the crown of the bushes is observed, both as a result of powerful growth from wintering buds and as a result of the development of fattening shoots and side shoots, therefore, there is a need for pinching shoots in several stages. …”
