Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the rapid popularization of electric and intelligent vehicles, modeling, dynamics, intelligent control, and fault diagnosis are increasing critical for enhanced handling, riding, and safety. In this Special Issue, we will explore the advances of modeling, dynamics, intelligent control, and fault diagnosis in automobile engineering. We will analyze how vehicle modeling and dynamics influence the intelligent control and fault diagnosis of automobiles and improve overall performance. This Special Issue aims to present high-quality research and recent advances in automotive technologies towards electric and intelligent vehicles. You are invited to submit original research and review papers on topics including but not limited to the following:

  1. Parameter identification of vehicles;
  2. Intelligent measurement of vehicles;
  3. Vehicle dynamics modeling and analysis;
  4. Autonomous driving and control of vehicles;
  5. Health monitoring and management of vehicles;
  6. Fault diagnosis and prognosis of vehicles;
  7. Comfort and riding performance of vehicles;
  8. Energy saving and management of vehicles;
  9. Active and passive safety of vehicles;
  10. Eco-driving and eco-management of vehicles.

The stiffness coefficient suited for a spherical contact body is developed by means of a contact semi-angle based on Steuermann’s theory. The new static contact force model is close to the results of FEM when the index of the polynomial is equal to 2. The strain energy is derived according to the contact stiffness coefficient. Taylor expansion is used in the dissipated energy integration process to obtain a more accurate hysteresis damping factor. The new dynamic contact force model consists of the new stiffness coefficient and new hysteresis damping factor, which is suitable for the spherical-contact event with a high coefficient of restitution.

The Craig–Bampton method is frequently applied in most commercial multibody dynamic software. Nevertheless, the Craig–Bampton modes only represent the free-free modes in flexible multibody systems. However, the free-free modes are incapable of all engineering applications. Hence, a rational set of reference conditions must be correctly chosen to define a unique displacement field. Firstly, a simple 2D beam with two revolute joints is taken as an example to prove that the free-free modes are not suitable for all engineering applications, and the results are validated by ANSYS and the analytical solution. Secondly, the Craig–Bampton method is improved by two different methods: (i) the reference conditions are added to the original Craig–Bampton matrix and (ii) the reference conditions are applied to the shape functions to redefine the mass and stiffness matrices before constructing the original Craig–Bampton matrix. This implementation illustrates that the improved Craig–Bampton matrix can not only generate the free-free modes but is also suitable for the non-free-free modes. Finally, two discrepant reference conditions are imposed to obtain the dynamic response of the flexible connecting rod based on the improved Craig–Bampton method, which is validated using the normal mode approach. Simulations show that the improved Craig–Bampton method can be used as a general-purpose method in durability analysis. Full article
