The analytical mode matching method is applied to the compatibility conditions of the three-dimensional acoustic fields at the device geometric discontinuities, leading to the computation of the complex wave amplitudes in all the subdomains involved and the corresponding device transmission loss. To have a realistic model, three-dimensional propagation must be considered in the inlet/outlet ducts and chambers, while one-dimensional wave propagation has to be assumed along the small capillaries of the aftertreatment device monolith (such catalytic converters and particulate filters); therefore, the monolith can be replaced by a plane wave four-pole transfer matrix from an acoustical point of view. On the other hand, for large aftertreatment device inlet ducts such as those found in heavy-duty and off-road engines, the usual models with plane incident wave excitation are not accurate since the onset of higher order incident modes in the inlet duct is expected for the frequency range of interest. Therefore, a variation of the acoustic attenuation performance is likely to occur depending on these modes, similar to the results previously found in the case of large dissipative silencers. Results are presented for three different multimodal incident sound field hypotheses: equal modal amplitude, equal modal power and equal modal energy density. A relevant influence on the sound attenuation is found for the test problems considered in the current investigation.","PeriodicalId":49110,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Mechanical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135427538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To enable hydrogen in-cylinder direct injection, a specialized hydrogen gas injector was employed. A comparative analysis of the combustion performance between gasoline and hydrogen fuels in a spark-ignited engine was conducted. Additionally, the study experimentally explored the thermal efficiency and emission reduction potential of hydrogen engines in lean combustion modes. The results indicated a significant improvement in the combustion rate when hydrogen fuel was utilized in the spark-ignited engine. However, the effective thermal efficiency was found to be lower than that of gasoline fuel due to the delayed MBF50 under stoichiometric conditions. Furthermore, when compared to gasoline fuel, the reduction of CO and THC emissions was accompanied by an increase in NOx emissions. Nevertheless, optimizing the air dilution ratio in hydrogen engines led to an improvement in the effective thermal efficiency. Specifically, under medium load conditions, a Lambda value of 2.7 resulted in an effective thermal efficiency of 43.5%. Additionally, under ultra-lean conditions (Lambda > 2.3), NOx emissions could be reduced to below 50 ppm, reaching as low as 44 ppm. This study highlights the potential of improving combustion efficiency and reducing emissions by utilizing hydrogen fuel, particularly in lean combustion modes. It contributes to the continuous development of hydrogen engine technology and promotes the implementation of cleaner and more efficient energy solutions.","PeriodicalId":49110,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Mechanical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135427552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The HNF consisted of Graphene (Gr) and Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) nanoparticles (NP) dispersed in pure water. The governing equations were solved numerically using the finite size approach and formulated using the Boussinesq approximation. The effects of the NP volume fraction φ (ranging from 0% to 6%), the Rayleigh number Ra (ranging from 10 4 to 10 6 ), and the Nusselt number ( Nu) were investigated in this simulation. The results indicated that the heat transfer is noticeably influenced by the Ra number and the increase in the φ ratio.

Firstly, the trajectory planning problem is transformed into an optimal control problem by establishing a vehicle kinematics model for the low-velocity scene, the dynamic constraints including the physical constraints, the collision avoidance constraints, and the endpoint constraints. The optimal control problem are discretized into a nonlinear programming problem by piecewise Gauss pseudospectral method according to the movement area during parking process. The shortest time to complete parking is taken as the objective function. The Gauss pseudospectral method is further adopted to solve the nonlinear programming problem in the two parking stages. Three parallel parking conditions with different lengths of parking spaces and three vertical parking conditions with different widths of parking spaces are set for simulation verification based on Matlab/Simulink. The simulation results show that the proposed method can uniformly and effectively solve the trajectory planning problem of the tractor-semitrailer vehicle. Compared with the traditional pseudospectral method, a shorter parking time and a significantly higher convergence rate can be got with the method, which further indicates that the proposed method has good effectiveness and robustness.","PeriodicalId":49110,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Mechanical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46094803","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Signal attenuation in the very low frequency (VLF) channel is a serious problem. In addition to high signal attenuation, the resulting noise on the VLF channel is non-Gaussian. Hence, to analyze and address the issue of the normal operation of the multi-antenna receiver in the VLF channel, we must study the signal detection problem in a multi-dimensional non-Gaussian fading channel. Motivated by the existing blind receiver in an underwater submarine single-antenna receiver, we study the signal detection and estimation algorithm under the fading channel for a multi-dimensional non-Gaussian noise model. In this study, we propose a blind receiver based on the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm. The proposed blind receiver can reduce non-Gaussian noise. In addition, we propose a nonlinear receiver that can accurately receive the transmitted signal over the high-attenuation VLF communication systems. Numerical and simulation results over uncorrelated and correlated non-Gaussian channels confirm that the design of the proposed blind receiver is close to optimal, with low computation complexity.","PeriodicalId":49110,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Mechanical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45559661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Karpat","doi":"10.1177/16878132231193260","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/16878132231193260","url":null,"abstract":"Recently, the usage of laser transmission welding (LTW) technology in the automotive industry has been rising for joining thermoplastic parts regarding its superior properties in comparison to other welding technologies. However, specifying the process parameters is a crucial step to obtain satisfactory welding quality for the vehicle parts. In this context, this paper addresses the LTW process of Polimetil metakrilat (PMMA) to Akrilonitril bütadien stiren (ABS) materials for the production of taillights in an automotive company and proposes a new multi-response Taguchi-Based TOPSIS (Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) method to optimize machining parameters in the laser welding process. In the proposed solution methodology, the main effects of the parameters on different outputs are identified by using the L 16 orthogonal array of the Taguchi method. Regarding the best parameter set for each output, the best parameter set for multi-response is identified by using the TOPSIS method, in which alternatives are evaluated through the interrelated quality measures. To optimize welding process in taillight production, PMMA and ABS samples with the dimensions of 40 mm in width, 85 mm in length, and 2 . 7 mm in thickness are used in the experiments. The samples are welded by using LPKF Twinweld 3D 6000® laser welding machine. For the welding process, laser power, welding speed, and pressure force are taken into account as the input parameters to optimize three responses: weld strength, breaking strain, and weld width. To identify the best process parameter values, the Taguchi Method is initially employed to calculate the main effects of LTW parameters for each output. Then, the TOPSIS method is carried out to evaluate a number of alternative parameter sets generated through the Taguchi results. As a consequence of the TOPSIS ranking scores, the best parameter set that jointly optimizes three outputs of the LTW process is identified for the taillight production as 60 W power, 100 mm / s speed, and 150 N pressure force. Based on the conducted experiments, this parameter setting achieves the highest weld strength, breaking strain level, and above-average weld width. The results of the experiments show that the proposed methodology is capable of optimizing LTW parameters for a multi-response with fewer experiments in the joining of plastic vehicle parts.","PeriodicalId":49110,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Mechanical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46724406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly, a multi-point preview algorithm and a general regression neural network are designed to percept the current local target paths for the tractor and semitrailer. Then, a kinematic predictive model control algorithm for low-speed path tracking control and a dynamic predictive model control algorithm for high-speed path following and lateral stability control are established respectively. In addition, an S-type switching function is introduced to realize smooth switching between the two control algorithms. Finally, the directional control decision in this study is validated by the numerical simulations under different conditions and compared with single-point preview driver and the MPC driver without considering semitrailer.

The influence of load pressure and speed on mechanical efficiency was obtained by numerical simulation through matlab. Then the prototype was designed and manufactured. The pump outlet pressure, outlet flow rate, and torque were measured on the test bench under various load pressure and speed, and mechanical efficiency of pump at various load pressure and speed was got.
