In the process of vehicle braking, braking intensity has a significant impact on vehicle comfort, and studies on this aspect have been limited. Therefore, an equivalent 4-degree-of-freedom half-vehicle model including the braking intensity influence...
To address the limitations of existing quarter-vehicle models in capturing pitch motion and front-rear coupling effects, this paper proposes a half-vehicle mechatronic suspension system based on the electromechanical analogy. Traditional methods ofte...
The half-through arch bridge short suspender is more prone to damage due to its high linear stiffness and special force characteristics. To analyze the vehicle-induced vibration characteristics of the short suspender during service, a half-through ar...
A novel suspension system, the hydraulic integrated interconnected regenerative suspension (HIIRS), has been proposed recently. This paper demonstrates the vibration and energy harvesting characteristics of the HIIRS. The HIIRS model is established a...
A mechatronic inerter can simulate the equivalent mechanical network through the external electrical network and can be used in a wide range of mechanical device design applications. In this paper, we study the use of a mechatronic inerter to enhance...
Effective control of ride quality and handling performance are challenges for active vehicle suspension systems, particularly for off-road applications. The nonlinearities tend to degrade the performance of active suspension systems; these introduce...
Although technical improvements to engines and aftertreatment systems have the greatest impact on pollutant emissions, there is also potential for reducing emissions through driver behavior. This potential can be realized in the very short term, whil...
Permanent magnet couplings (PMCs) are widely used in underwater propulsion because it can solve the deep-sea sealing problem effectively. In this paper, a new type of conical permanent magnet coupling (CPMC) is proposed, which is able to match the ta...
Cargo items at different longitudinal positions experience different local base excitations because of vehicle-body bounce and pitch, creating position-dependent demands on vibration isolation and support stroke. This study presents a response-guided...
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory condition of synovial joints that causes disability and systemic complications. Ang-(1-7), one of the main peptides in the renin-angiotensin (Ang) system (RAS), imposes its protective effects throug...
Electric power grids in remote communities around the world tend to be highly oil-dependent, unlike large, interconnected grids. Consequently, self-contained power grids such as the Hawaiian Islands’ have become testbeds for aggressive renewable ener...
The shortage of labor is one of the major challenges facing agriculture in Japan. Technological innovations are required to overcome the limitations of the workload per worker. One such innovation is smart agriculture, which utilizes advanced technol...
In the present work, the theoretical basis of the multiplicity of solutions obtained from an initial real symmetric distribution is derived. This initial solution is devoted to generating an equivalent pure real shaped-beam pattern for a concrete syn...
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) clusters usually face problems such as complex environments, heterogeneous combat subjects, and realistic interference factors in the course of mission assignment. In order to reduce resource consumption and improve the...
A condition-dependent recoverable stability boundary is proposed for risk-supervised direct yaw-moment control of distributed-drive electric vehicles. Recoverable states are identified through long-horizon nonlinear trajectories converging to a stabl...
The objective of this paper is to study a 22 kW high-power wireless power transfer (WPT) system for battery charging in electric vehicles (EVs). The proposed WPT system consists of a three-phase half-bridge LC–LC (i.e., primary LC/secondary LC) reson...
Short-range imaging radar, with its all-day and all-weather perception capabilities, has gained considerable attention in emerging fields such as autonomous vehicle sensing and industrial robotic perception. However, compared to traditional imaging r...
Conformal prediction guarantees interval coverage only when calibration and deployment data are exchangeable. We test joint state-of-charge (SOC) and state-of-health (SOH) intervals when this assumption fails across cells, discharge protocols, chemis...
Elevated string-rail systems, in which unmanned electric vehicles run on steel wheels along a prestressed rail carried on slender supports, have been proposed as a way of moving containers between a quay and an inland terminal without using the road...
The silicon carbide (SiC) inverter brings great advantages to the motor drive systems of new energy vehicles; however, severe challenges to the bearings also happen. The high dc bus voltage and switching frequency of SiC inverter can increase the dis...
