This report includes my translation of the short story “Tread on a Snake” (Hebi o Fumu) by Kawakami Hiromi, which is presented here as a significant contribution to modern Japanese literature in translation. The story received the prestigious Akutagawa Prize in 1996, although support for it was not unanimous as seen in my translation of the judges’ comments offered here as well. Following the translation of the story itself is an essay that discusses my personal experiences translating the story. I discuss elements that may be unique to the experience of translating Kawakami’s works, but also many that are applicable more broadly to issues of translation that go beyond her works and even Japanese literature as well. Challenges included maintaining the author’s tone and voice, the appropriate use of notes to provide cultural background, and the deliberate use of non-translated terms in a translation. / text

A investigação de parâmetros biomecânicos no movimento humano tem trazido importantes discussões sobre a função do sistema músculo-esquelético e o controle deste movimento. O andar humano é um dos comportamentos motores mais investigados pela biomecânica e seus aspectos mecânicos contribuem de forma a caracterizar, identificar e intervir em situações patológicas. A investigação de parâmetros dinâmicos, cinemáticos e eletromiográficos na marcha patológica pode beneficiar de forma significativa a compreensão dos mecanismos de controle do andar e as alterações compensatórias geradas, assim como contribuir nas intervenções terapêuticas e preventivas em sujeitos portadores de alguma doença que acometa o sistema músculo-esquelético. No presente estudo, buscou-se descrever e interpretar, sob a perspectiva da biomecânica, o andar em cadência auto-selecionada de sujeitos diabéticos neuropatas em esteira rolante, considerando os parâmetros dinâmicos, temporais, espaciais e eletromiográficos durante a fase de apoio. Investigou-se também aspectos sensoriais plantares e motores a fim de caracterizar os sujeitos neuropatas e controles estudados. Valores da sensibilidade somatossensorial e limiares de tolerância à dor nos sujeitos diabéticos neuropatas apresentaram significativamente maiores em relação ao grupo de sujeitos controle estudado, valores considerados fora do padrão de normalidade esperado. A cadência autoselecionada e a velocidade obtida na esteira rolante foram significativamente menores durante o andar dos neuropatas em relação aos sujeitos controle. Os tempos de apoio simples, duplo, comprimento da passada e do passo durante a marcha nos sujeitos diabéticos neuropatas apresentaram-se significativamente maiores em relação ao grupo controle. Foram observados menores picos de força vertical nos sujeitos neuropatas e menores deflexões da força vertical, conseqüências secundárias da estratégia de redução da velocidade do andar em neuropatas que buscam um padrão mais conservativo e estável do seu andar. As respostas eletromiográficas dos músculos da perna e coxa apresentaram-se com menores magnitudes e com picos de ativação atrasados em relação ao padrão normal de recrutamento, especialmente o m. tibial anterior bilateralmente nos neuropatas. Interpreta-se tal fato como uma provável alteração no mecanismo de controle central e/ou periférico da marcha em sujeitos diabéticos neuropatas decorrente dos déficits sensoriais periféricos e motores conseqüentes da doença investigada. O mecanismo de redução de choques na marcha apresentou-se de forma ineficiente em função das respostas atrasadas eletromiográficas tanto de m. vasto lateral, quanto de m. tibial anterior. Conclui-se que a neuropatia diabética periférica acomete não só respostas somatossensoriais e motoras periféricas mas também mecanismos intrínsecos de controle modificando a eficiência do tornozelo em seu papel na marcha, comprometendo desta forma alguns dos principais requisitos para o andar que são a progressão e o equilíbrio / Biomechanical investigation of the human movement has been bringing important discussions about the musculoskeletal system functions and the control of movement. The human walking is one of the most studied motor behaviors and its mechanical aspects contribute to characterize, identify, and intervene in pathological conditions. Dynamic, kinematic, and electromyographic analyses of pathological gait can significantly help the comprehension of the control mechanism of gait and its compensatory alterations. These analyses can also contribute to therapeutic and preventive interventions in patients whose walking behavior is altered due to some disease that accomplish the neuromotor system. In the present study, we described and interpreted self-cadence walking in a treadmill of neuropathic diabetic subjects under biomechanical considerations, such as dynamic, temporal, spatial, and electromyographic analysis during stance phase. We also studied sensorial and motor aspects in order to characterize the neuropathic and control subjects. The somatossensorial responses and pain tolerance threshold in the neuropathic subjects were significantly higher and considered away from the normal patterns. The self-cadence and the treadmill velocity were significantly lower in neuropathic gait. Single and double stance time, stride and step length were significantly higher during neuropathic gait. The neuropathic subjects showed lower vertical force peaks and lower deflections of vertical force and those findings were secondary consequences of the conservative strategy of lowering the gait velocity adopted by the neuropathic in order to reach a more stable locomotor pattern. The electromyographic responses of the thigh and leg muscles in neuropathic subjects showed lower magnitudes and were delayed comparing to the normal recruitment pattern, specially the anterior tibialis muscle right and left. These findings lead us to conclude that probably central and/or peripheral control mechanisms of the gait of neuropathic diabetic patients are altered due to somatossensorial and motor deficits. The mechanism of load reduction during walking was considered inefficient because of the activation delay of the lateral vastus and anterior tibialis muscles. We conclude that the peripheral diabetic neuropathy damages not only somatossensorial and motor sources but also intrinsic mechanisms of motor control leading to alterations in the ankle efficiency in gait. This resulting distal inefficiency compromises some of the principal requirements to gait, which are progression and balance

Road vehicle tyres, railway wheels and ball bearings all generate rolling contact forces which are transferred within a finite area of contact between the rolling element and the substrate. Either it is visible or not for the human eye, a certain degree of roughness is always present on the contacting surfaces and it influences the generation of both vertical and lateral contactforces. The purpose of this investigation is to enhance the understanding and modelling of the influence from small-scale surface roughness on the generation of rolling contact forces. To this end, a computationally efficient method to include roughness-induced contact nonlinearities in the dynamic modelling of rolling contacts is proposed. The method is implemented in a time domain model for vertical wheel–track interaction to model rolling-induced rail vibrations, showing good agreement with measurements. Furthermore, a test rig is developed and used for the investigation of tyre–road rolling contact forces. Detailed studies are performed on the influence of substrate roughness on the resulting contact forces for a tyre tread block which is rolling at different operating conditions. The choice of substrate as well as the rolling velocity and the slip ratio is observed to have significant influence on the resulting friction coefficient. For high slip ratios, stick–slip oscillations appear, exhibiting frequency content which is largely dependent on the choice of substrate. The outcomes of this study can potentially be used to improve future tyre–road contacts with respect to wear, traction and noise generation. / <p>QC 20161013</p> / Centre for Eco2 Vehicle Design

Driving with tyres not appropriate for the actual conditions can not only lead to accidents related to the tyres, but also cause detrimental effects on the environment via emission of rubber particles if the driving conditions are causing an unexpectedly high amount of tread wear. Estimating tyre performance in an online setting is therefore of interest, and the feasibility to estimate friction performance, velocity performance, and tread wear utilizing available information from the automotive grade sensors is investigated in this thesis. For the friction performance, a trend analysis is performed to investigate the correlation between tyre stiffness and friction potential. Given that there is a correlation, a model is derived based on the trend having a stiffness parameter as an input in order to predict the friction performance. Tendencies for a linear trend is shown, and a linear regression model is fitted to data and is evaluated by calculating a model fit and studying the residuals. Having a model fit of $80\%$, the precision of the expected values stemming from the proposed model is concluded to be fairly low, but still enough to roughly indicate the friction performance in winter conditions. A tread wear model that can estimate the amount of abrasive wear is also derived, and the proposed model only utilizes available information from the automotive grade sensors. Due to the model having a parameter that is assumed to be highly tyre specific, only a relative wear difference can be calculated. The model is evaluated in a simulation environment by its ability to indicate if a tyre is under the influence of a higher wear caused by a higher ambient temperature. The results indicates that the model is insufficient in an online setting and cannot accurately describe the phenomena of softer tyres having a larger amount of wear caused by a high ambient temperature compared to stiffer tyres. Lastly, a double lane change test (ISO 3888-2) is conducted to determine the critical velocity for cornering manoeuvres, which defines the velocity performance. The test was executed for six different sets of tyres, two of each type (winter, all-season, and summer). The approach to estimate the velocity performance in an online setting is analogue to that of the friction performance, and a trend analysis is performed to investigate the correlation between longitudinal tyre stiffness and the critical velocity. The results are rather unexpected and shows no substantial differences in velocity performance, even though the tyre-road grip felt distinctively worse for the softer tyres according to the driver. It is concluded that the bias stemming from the professional driver's skills might have distorted the results, and that another approach might need to be considered in order to estimate this performance.

Die Kontaktverhältnisse zwischen Reifen und Fahrbahn bestimmen die maximal übertragbaren Beschleunigungs-, Brems- und Seitenkräfte des Fahrzeugs und sind daher für die Fahrsicherheit von großer Bedeutung. In dieser Arbeit wird ein Modell zur numerisch effizienten Simulation der hochfrequenten Dynamik einzelner Reifenprofilblöcke entwickelt. Der vorgestellte Modellansatz nutzt einerseits die Vorteile der Finite-Elemente-Methode, welche die Bauteilstruktur detailliert auflösen kann, bei der jedoch lange Rechenzeiten in Kauf genommen werden. Andererseits profitiert der vorgestellte Modellansatz von den Vorteilen stark vereinfachter Mehrkörpersysteme, welche die Berechnung der hochfrequenten Dynamik und akustischer Phänomene erlauben, jedoch strukturdynamische Effekte und das Kontaktverhalten in der Bodenaufstandsfläche des Reifens nur begrenzt abbilden können. Das hier vorgestellte Modell berücksichtigt in einem modularen Ansatz die Effekte der Strukturdynamik, der lokalen Reibwertcharakteristik, der nichtlinearen Wechselwirkungen durch den Kontakt mit der rauen Fahrbahnoberfläche und des lokalen Verschleißes. Die erforderlichen Modellparameter werden durch geeignete Experimente bestimmt. Ein Schwerpunkt der Arbeit liegt in der Untersuchung reibungsselbsterregter Profilblockschwingungen bei Variation der Modell- und Prozessparameter. Zur realistischen Betrachtung des Reifenprofilblockverhaltens erfolgt eine Erweiterung des Modells um eine Abrollkinematik, die tiefere Einblicke in die dynamischen Vorgänge in der Bodenaufstandsfläche des Reifens ermöglicht. Diese Simulationen lassen eine Zuordnung der aus der Literatur bekannten zeitlichen Abfolge von Einlaufphase, Haftphase, Gleitphase und Ausschnappphase zu. Es zeigen sich bei bestimmten Kombinationen aus Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeit und Schlupfwert ausgeprägte Stick-Slip-Schwingungen im akustisch relevanten Frequenzbereich. Das Modell erlaubt die Untersuchung des Einflusses der Profilblockgeometrie, der Materialparameter, der Fahrbahneigenschaften sowie der Betriebszustände auf den resultierenden Reibwert, auf das lokale Verschleißverhalten sowie auf das Auftreten hochfrequenter reibungsselbsterregter Schwingungen. Somit ermöglicht das Modell ein vertieftes Verständnis der Vorgänge im Reifen-Fahrbahn-Kontakt und der auftretenden Wechselwirkungen zwischen Struktur- und Kontaktmechanik. Es kann eine Basis für zukünftige Optimierungen des Profilblocks zur Verbesserung wesentlicher Reifeneigenschaften wie Kraftschlussverhalten, Verschleiß und Akustik bilden. / The contact conditions between tyre and road are responsible for the maximum acceleration, braking and side forces of a vehicle. Therefore, they have a large impact on the driving safety. Within this work a numerically efficient model for the simulation of the high-frequency dynamics of single tyre tread blocks is developed. The presented modelling approach benefits the advantage of the finite element method to resolve the component structure in detail. However, a long computation time is accepted for these finite element models. Moreover, the presented modelling approach makes use of the advantage of simplified multibody systems to calculate the high-frequency dynamics and acoustic phenomena. However, structural effects and the contact behaviour in the tyre contact patch can be covered only to a minor degree. The model treated here considers the effects of structural dynamics, the local friction characteristic, the non-linear interaction due to the contact with the rough road surface and local wear. The required model parameters are determined by appropriate experiments. One focus of this work is the investigation of self-excited tread block vibrations under variation of the model and process parameters. In order to realistically investigate the tread block behaviour the model is extended with regard to rolling kinematics which provides a deeper insight into the dynamic processes in the tyre contact patch. The corresponding simulations allow the allocation of the run-in phase, sticking phase, sliding phase and snap-out which is reported in the literature. For certain combinations of vehicle velocity and slip value pronounced stick-slip vibrations occur within the acoustically relevant frequency range. The model enables to study the influence of the tread block geometry, the material properties, the road surface characteristics and the operating conditions on the resulting tread block friction coefficient, local tread block wear and the occurrence of high-frequency self-excited vibrations. The simulation results provide a distinct understanding of the processes in the tyre/road contact and the interactions between structural mechanics and contact mechanics. They can be a basis for future tread block optimisations with respect to essential tyre properties such as traction, wear and acoustic phenomena.

They can be a basis for future tread block optimisations with respect to essential tyre properties such as traction, wear and acoustic phenomena.:Formelverzeichnis VII Kurzfassung X Abstract XI 1 Einleitung 1 1.1 Zielsetzung . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 1.2 Gliederung . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 2 Stand des Wissens 6 2.1 Mechanische Eigenschaften von Elastomeren . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6 2.2 Elastomerreibung . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 2.2.1 Modelle zur Beschreibung von Hysteresereibung . . . . . . . . . . . 11 2.2.2 Modelle zur Beschreibung von Adhäsionsreibung . . . . . . . . . . . 12 2.2.3 Phänomenologische Beschreibung von Elastomerreibung . . . . . . 13 2.3 Verschleiß von Profilblöcken . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 15 2.4 Entstehung von Stick-Slip-Schwingungen . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28 2.5 Profilblockmodelle und -simulationen . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 31 2.6 Experimentelle Einrichtungen zur Untersuchung von Profilblöcken . . . . . 42 2.6.1 Schwerlasttribometer . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 42 2.6.2 IDS-Tribometer . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 44 2.6.3 Mini-mue-road . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 45 2.6.4 Linear Friction Tester . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 46 2.6.5 Prüfstand für Stollenmessungen . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 48 2.6.6 Hochgeschwindigkeits-Abrollprüfstand . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 49 2.6.7 Hochgeschwindigkeits-Linearprüfstand . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 50 2.7 Experimentelle Reibwertbestimmung . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 52 3 Profilblockmodell 55 3.1 Modularer Modellansatz . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 55 3.2 Modul 1: Strukturdynamik . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 58 3.2.1 Transformations- und Reduktionsverfahren . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 59 3.2.2 Implementierung in das Gesamtmodell . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 72 3.3 Modul 2: Lokale Reibwertcharakteristik . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 72 3.3.1 Einflussgrößen auf den Reibwert . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 72 3.3.2 Numerische Behandlung der Reibwertberechnung . . . . . . . . . . 73 3.4 Modul 3: Nichtlineare Kontaktsteifigkeit . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 75 3.4.1 Lokale Kontaktbetrachtungen . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 76 3.4.2 Kontaktalgorithmus . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 77 3.5 Modul 4: Lokaler Verschleiß . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 81 3.5.1 Vorgehen zur Verschleißmodellierung . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 81 3.5.2 Implementierung in das Gesamtmodell . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 82 4 Parameterbestimmung 84 4.1 Strukturdynamische Parameter . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 84 4.1.1 Bestimmung des Elastizitätsmoduls und der Dämpfung . . . . . . . 84 4.1.2 Optimierung der Modenanzahl . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 88 4.2 Bestimmung der Reibcharakteristik . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 90 4.3 Bestimmung der nichtlinearen Kontaktsteifigkeit . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 92 4.4 Bestimmung der Verschleißparameter . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 94 5 Simulationen 100 5.1 Betrachtung eines gleitenden Profilblocks . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 100 5.1.1 Simulationen bei hoher Gleitgeschwindigkeit ohne Verschleiß . . . . 100 5.1.2 Simulationen bei hoher Gleitgeschwindigkeit mit Verschleiß . . . . 103 5.1.3 Profilblockverhalten bei niedriger Gleitgeschwindigkeit . . . . . . . 106 5.1.4 Simulationen mit Normalkraftvorgabe . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 114 5.1.5 Vergleich Experiment-Simulation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 117 5.1.6 Variation der Profilblockgeometrie . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 119 5.2 Betrachtung eines abrollenden Profilblocks . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 124 5.2.1 Abrollkinematik . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 126 5.2.2 Einfluss der Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeit . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 130 5.2.3 Einfluss des Schlupfwerts . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 133 5.2.4 Einfluss des Kontaktdrucks . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 133 5.2.5 Kontaktkraftbetrachtungen . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 135 6 Zusammenfassung 139 Literatur 143
