Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Sensing technology and control are two key points to ensure the operation of intelligent mechanical systems. Through sensing detection, the operation information of the intelligent mechanical system can be effectively realized, and the corresponding useful signal can be converted to output. The perfect combination of sensing signals and control algorithms can effectively improve various defects in intelligent mechanical system. For example, in the magnetic levitation system, the position signal of the air-gap and the optimal control theory are the keys to ensure the system levitation. Therefore, sensing and control technology for intelligent machines have attracted the extensive attention of scholars at home and abroad, and have become a research hotspot in related fields. In order to solve the basic scientific problems and key technical problems related to sensing and control technology, and gather the frontier achievements of intelligent machine sensing and control, Sensors has set up a Special Issue, entitled " Sensing and control technology for intelligent machine".

This Special Issue is addressed to all types of techniques for intelligent machine sensors and control.

As is well known, the magnetostrictive phenomenon of electrical steel sheet is the main source of electricity in equipment such as transformers. The magnetostrictive characteristic of the actual transformer core is more complicated than that of single-sheet steel. The magnetostriction phenomenon of the transformer core cannot be fully understood by studying only a single piece of electrical steel, so it is necessary to study the local magnetic characteristics of the transformer directly. In this paper, two-limb, one-phase transformer core with a multi-step-lap construction was assembled, a laminated magnetostrictive testing system based on triaxial strain gauges was built, and the local magnetic characteristics were studied using a self-developed B-H vector sensor. The magnetostrictive and magnetic properties in different local regions were measured and analyzed under several magnetization patterns, and the influence of DC bias on the magnetostrictive property of the corner, yoke, and limb of the core was investigated. The influence of the position of the clamp on the magnetostriction of the transformer core was also studied. The magnetostrictive strain of the single sheet and laminated core was compared and discussed. The results showed that the strain caused by the interaction between laminations in this area can be effectively reduced when clamping in the middle of the yoke. Full article

Under extreme working conditions such as high-speed driving on roads with a large road surface unevenness coefficient, turning on a road with a low road surface adhesion coefficient, and emergency acceleration and braking, a vehicle’s stability deteriorates sharply and reduces ride comfort. There is extensive existing research on vehicle active suspension control, trajectory tracking, and control methods. However, most of these studies focus on conventional operating conditions, while vehicle stability analysis under extreme operating conditions is much less studied. In order to improve the stability of the whole vehicle under extreme operating conditions, this paper investigates the stability of a vehicle under extreme operating conditions based on linear quadratic regulator (LQR) control. First, a seven degrees of freedom (7-DOF) dynamics model of the whole vehicle is established based on the use of electromagnetic active suspension, and then an LQR controller of the electromagnetic active suspension is designed. A joint simulation platform incorporating MATLAB and CarSim was built, and the CarSim model is verified by real vehicle tests. Finally, the stability of the vehicle under four different ultimate operating conditions was analyzed. The simulation results show that the root mean square (RMS) values of body droop acceleration and pitch angle acceleration are improved by 57.48% and 28.81%, respectively, under high-speed driving conditions on Class C roads. Under the double-shift condition with a low adhesion coefficient, the RMS values of body droop acceleration, pitch acceleration, and roll angle acceleration are improved by 58.25%, 55.41%, and 31.39%, respectively. These results indicate that electromagnetic active suspension can significantly improve vehicle stability and reduce driving risk under extreme working conditions when combined with an LQR controller.
