This model is based on the Shaver' residual-affected HCCI engine model with the constant wall temperature heat transfer model suitable for HCCI combustion. A cooperative control system of pressure and combustion phase was designed using the model predictive control (MPC) theory with the variable valve timing (VVT) as the control method. The coordinated simulation experiment was done by using GT-Power and Matlab/Simulink. The results show that the control model satisfies the engine control demand, realizes the collaborative control of the pressure and combustion phase with control accuracies of ±30 kPa and ±0.6° CA, and the response time of 6-7 engine cycles.","PeriodicalId":152823,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Automotive Safety and Energy","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132483179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In current frontal crash dummy tests, different rib inconsistent performance may lead to different data of the thorax compression. This paper investigates the influence of dummy rib stiffness characteristics and their differences on the chest compression deformation through calibrating frontal impact tests for two 50th percentile Hybrid-III male dummies, and revising the sensitivity coefficient of chest displacement sensors in the calibrating measurement. The results indicate that revising sensitivity coefficient can eliminate the differences caused by rib stiffness characteristics. Therefore, this method can improve the test accuracy, strongly supporting the vehicle constraint system development.","PeriodicalId":152823,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Automotive Safety and Energy","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125120419","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The test vehicle geometrical characteristics and the crush deformation were summarized with the head injury criteria (HIC), the thoracic trauma index (TTI), and the peak pelvis lateral acceleration (PPLA) used to evaluate serious injury risks for different body regions of occupants. The results show that these injury criteria all decrease with increasing vehicle model year for both front and rear seat occupants. Much higher risks of serious head and thoracic injury occur for rear seat occupants compared with the front seat occupants for newer vehicle models. Restraint effectiveness is closely related to occupant seating positions. Therefore, the head and thoracic injury mechanism and countermeasures should be emphasized for rear seat occupants.","PeriodicalId":152823,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Automotive Safety and Energy","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129264731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
