This pursuit not only enhances sustainability but also addresses the pressing issue of climate change. A multitude of studies delve into modeling, analyzing, and optimizing energy usage within railway systems, showcasing a diverse array of methodologies and techniques for formulating, and solving optimization problems. This review paper undertakes a comparative examination of approximately 33 relevant studies focusing on railway energy consumption encompassing both traction and auxiliary energy. The research emphasizes various modeling techniques employed in simulating train movement and energy consumption; alongside different optimization methods focused at improving operational efficiency on railway tracks. It meticulously scrutinizes the most prevalent optimization methods, techniques and variables are utilized. Through an extensive review of literature, it becomes apparent that deterministic approaches, particularly based on the Davis equations, dominate the modeling landscape, accounting for over 80% of the approaches. However, when it comes to optimization, meta-heuristic approaches take precedence, with Genetic Algorithms being a prominent choice. These findings underscore the significance of meta-heuristic approaches, crucial for enhancing both human activities and mitigating energy consumption, especially in a heavy energy-consuming sector like railway transportation.","PeriodicalId":505725,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Research Express","volume":"12 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141801738","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}

Expanding upon the conventional VD-MOSFET framework, a novel 900V SiC VD-MOSFET with two P-type shielding layer introduced in JFET region, PW-MOSFET, is proposed and designed. In contrast to the traditional VD MOSFET, PW- -MOSFET not only significantly improves short-circuit (SC) reliability but also optimizes static performance. Simulation results reveal that PW-MOSFET demonstrates notably superior SC performance at a DC link voltage of 600V compared to the traditional VD-MOSFET, with a 63% increase in Short-Circuit Withstand Time (SCWT) and a 25% enhancement in Baliga Figure of Merit (FOM). The key factor contributing to this performance enhancement is attributed to the advantageous role of the P-type shielding layer, facilitating adjustments in the current flow path, thereby suppressing saturation current and enhancing the reliability of short-circuit events. Furthermore, the issue of increased characteristic on-state resistance (Ron, sp) resulting from the introduction of the P-type shielding layer is addressed by augmenting the doping concentration in the JFET region.","PeriodicalId":505725,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Research Express","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141798947","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}

This work's primary objective is to assess the mechanical and thermophysical performance of the composite material in order to determine whether or not it may be used as a thermal and acoustic insulation material in buildings. For this end, prismatic and parallelepipedic specimens of different dimensions were made with fiber percentages ranging from 0% to 20%. In addition, parallelepiped panels (600 mm x 600 mm x 40 mm3) were also prepared containing 10% of PO fibers. Mechanical properties (flexual strength, compressive strength), thermal properties and sound absorption coefficient were investigated. For each test specimen, the density was calculated for a proportion of fibers ranging from 0% to 20%. The results indicated a marked improvement in the compressive and flexural strength of the fiber-reinforced mixtures. This improvement is respectively 14.5% and 33.8% for mixtures containing 10% of PO fibers. Additionally, the addition of PO fibers significantly decreases density (by 40.5%), thermal conductivity (by 68.5%) and thermal diffusivity (by 36.9%) of the different mixtures. The ideal mechanical characteristics are attained when 5–10% of the volume is made up of Posidonia Oceanica fibers. The results of the sound absorption coefficient test show that the mixture of plaster with 10% fibers has a good sound absorption coefficient of 0.78 for high frequencies between 1000 Hz and 4000 Hz. This work has shown conclusively that the incorporation of PO fibers, up to a maximum of 10% with plaster, makes it possible to obtain a lightweight composite that can potentially be used as a new insulating construction material.","PeriodicalId":505725,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Research Express","volume":"17 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141801686","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}

Research on defect detection using deep learning algorithms has shown promising results. However, due to the complex backgrounds, large differences in defect sizes, and diverse defect types present in steel strip surface defect images, existing deep learning algorithms struggle to achieve precise detection. To address these challenges, this paper proposes an efficient detection model named AEDN-YOLO. Firstly, an adaptive feature extraction (AFE) module is designed, embedded into C2f to better capture irregularly shaped objects. Secondly, the Triplet Attention module is incorporated into the bottom layer of the backbone network to enhance the model's ability to locate defect features accurately. Additionally, replace the standard convolution in the neck network with GSConv, which not only accelerates feature fusion to improve detection speed but also enlarges the model's receptive field to enhance detection accuracy. Finally, add a small target detection layer to enhance the detection capability for tiny defects. The model achieves mAP of 81.7% and 72.7% on the NEU-DET and GC10-DET datasets, respectively, with a detection speed of 72.1 FPS.

When machining titanium alloys, achieving a good surface quality is a difficult process. In the current study, an effort has been made to reduce surface roughness during milling Ti-6Al-4V. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used in the experiment design to create a model for surface roughness using cutting parameters as variables. The developed model was tested in additional tests in addition to the primary experiments. It was shown that cutting speed and feed rate had the biggest effects on surface roughness, whereas depth of cut had very little of an impact. The model's quality is demonstrated by the correlation coefficient (R2) 98%, which indicates that the model can explain 98% of the data. Later, a response surface-based desirability technique was used to minimize surface roughness. The outcome of the proposed algorithm is compared with RSM optimizer. It has been noted that the outcomes achieved with the SAMP approach are more advantageous than RSM approach.

Previous research introduced a dynamic voting classifier to overcome overfitting or inaccurate accuracies caused by dataset imbalance. This article introduces a new method for IoT anomaly detection that employs a hybrid voting classifier, which combines several machine learning models. To solve the overfitting and class weight issues, an adaptive voting classifier is used that adjusts weights according to the highest preference for accuracy. The developing voting system increases the effectiveness of more accurate classifiers, enhancing the group's overall capability. A proposed combined classifier combines Logistic Regression, AdaBoost, Gradient Boosting, and Multi-Layer Perceptron models using a soft voting method.

Statistical analysis revealed that current had a significant influence on MRR. Ton had a strong influence on KW and Ra, whereas Toff exhibited a considerable impact on all these responses. Notably, Ws demonstrated a significant impact on Ra. However, voltage was found to have statistically negligible impact on all the machining responses.
