Utilizing 727 images spanning from the shoulder to the fingertip of a digital human model based on Chinese demographics, the geometric details of tissue structures were derived via tissue segmentation, 3D modeling, and reverse engineering. A stress-induced damage model for the human forearm was created using the finite element simulation software, commercial software COMSOL Multiphysics 5.5 in the college edition. By applying an impact load of 6 2 6.4 10  N m to the load surface, a response time of 3 1 10  s was determined. Subsequently, the force transmission mechanism was examined when the human forearm was under stress. This approach represents the unique aspect of our patent study The modeling and analysis revealed that skin, fat, and muscle -being viscoelastic tissues -undergo deformation upon experiencing stress impacts. This deformation aids in dissipating energy. In transient states, the body does not sustain severe damage, and the impact-induced damage to these tissues is relatively minimal. However, if the force duration is prolonged or if the impact load is exceedingly high, exceeding the critical limit of adhesive tissue may result in penetration of the tissue at the stress point. Notably, tissues beyond the direct impact area remain largely unharmed. Damage due to localized, instantaneous impact loads is primarily concentrated on the immediate stress surface, while regions beyond this point incur minimal to no damage. Calculations indicate that, while such impacts can cause penetrating injuries, the resulting wounds are typically small. With prompt medical intervention, these injuries are not debilitating to the human body.","PeriodicalId":39169,"journal":{"name":"Recent Patents on Mechanical Engineering","volume":"82 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139238906","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}

However, driving safety remains a huge challenge. Trajectory prediction of traffic targets is one of the important tasks of an autonomous driving environment perception system, and its output trajectory can provide necessary information for decision control and path planning. Although there are many patents and articles related to trajectory prediction, the accuracy of trajectory prediction still needs to be improved. Objective: This paper aimed to propose a novel scheme that considers multi-feature independent encoding trajectory prediction (MFIE). Methods: MFIE is an independently coded trajectory prediction algorithm that consists of a spacetime interaction module and trajectory prediction module, and considers speed characteristics and road characteristics. In the spatiotemporal interaction module, an undirected and weightless static traffic graph is used to represent the interaction between vehicles, and multiple graph convolution blocks are used to perform data mining on the historical information of target vehicles, capture temporal features, and process spatial interaction features. In the trajectory prediction module, three long short-term memory (LSTM) encoders are used to encode the trajectory feature, motion feature, and road constraint feature independently. The three hidden features are spliced into a tensor, and the LSTM decoder is used to predict the future trajectory. Results: On datasets, such as Apollo and NGSIM, the proposed method has shown lower prediction error than traditional model-driven and data-driven methods, and predicted more target vehicles at the same time. It can provide a basis for vehicle path planning on highways and urban roads, and it is of great significance to the safety of autonomous driving. Conclusion: This paper has proposed a multi-feature independent encoders’ trajectory prediction data-driven algorithm, and the effectiveness of the algorithm is verified with a public dataset. The trajectory prediction algorithm considering multi-feature independent encoders provides some reference value for decision planning.","PeriodicalId":39169,"journal":{"name":"Recent Patents on Mechanical Engineering","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135889173","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}

Methods: This study introduces a novel vertical stick-slip actuator and proposes two different methods for overcoming the challenges associated with controlling it. The first method involves training an inverse model of the actuator using a supervised machine-learning algorithm to determine the optimal number of signals and peak voltage required for the saw-tooth signals in an open-loop controller. The second method is a closed-loop controller that utilizes the maximum allowable peak voltage unless the positioning error is smaller than the maximum step size. At this point, the neural network-based controller adjusts the peak voltage to a lower value, ensuring that the actuator reaches the desired position at the end of the final signal. objective: .

Before an aircraft can receive transport certification, it must meet a number of crashworthiness requirements, such as the structure's deformation pattern, absorbed kinetic energy profile, and acceleration responses experienced by the components and human body models. Therefore, in recent times, crashworthiness has emerged as a crucial field of study during the early design stages of aircraft, along with other key parameters like weight reduction, load factor, fatigue life estimation, etc. Objective: The main objective of the present article is to undertake an in-depth analysis of the developments in crashworthiness related to the civil aircraft fuselage section. Furthermore, it aims to identify and address the future challenges that must be overcome to ensure the utmost safety of the occupants. Method: Based on the research objectives, the available literature is categorized into three major groups: (i) finite element code validation; (ii) improvement of the crashworthiness criteria; and (iii) impact on different surface models. A methodology to solve fuselage section crashworthiness is briefly described. A review of the research articles discussing general purpose energy absorbers for crashworthy design without any implementation to the fuselage structure is out of the scope of this article. Results: Experimental testing of fuselage section crashworthiness is expensive and non-repeatable. Furthermore, the intricate structure of the fuselage, with its numerous components, makes it nearly impossible to devise crashworthy design solutions through classical hand calculations alone. As a result, commercial software codes play a crucial role in the development of fuselage section crashworthiness, offering valuable assistance in overcoming these limitations. Conclusion: Future challenges of crashworthy design involve exploring novel materials and devices to mitigate injury during controlled crash conditions. An intriguing area of study would be the analysis of lattice components, as they have the potential to enhance crashworthiness. Furthermore, as newly designed fuselage sections emerge, it will be crucial to investigate and establish the necessary requirements to ensure compliance with crashworthiness certification standards.","PeriodicalId":39169,"journal":{"name":"Recent Patents on Mechanical Engineering","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135362418","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}
