Specifically, the dynamics of SbW system driven by PMSM is analyzed, and combine PPC technology to transform the tracking error coordinates. Then, the velocity signal is obtained from the sigmoid function-based tracking differentiator by using the position signal. To solve the problem of mismatched disturbance, fuzzy logic system (FLS) are used as a universal approximator to estimate the lumped nonlinear friction and other unknown functions, the boundary of lumped disturbance is estimated by the designed adaptive updating law. By fusing the designed virtual controller and the intermediate control law, the controller needs no precise parameters of system, under which the effect of uncertainty of control gain can be compensated completely. Finally, rigorous theoretical analysis based on the Lyapunov stability theory is provided to demonstrate the finite-time stability of the closed-loop system under consideration. Simulation and experiment results are presented to show the effectiveness of the developed control approach, and some comparisons are given to show the rapid and accurate position tracking control performance.","PeriodicalId":509770,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part D: Journal of Automobile Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141273240","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}

A linear quarter car model is utilized to analyze the vibrational behavior of the AISD system when subjected to harmonic road disturbances. The steady-state response of the system is investigated by deriving the root mean square (RMS) values of the absolute relative displacement and acceleration of the sprung mass. To optimize the quarter car model, a criterion based on minimizing the absolute acceleration RMS while considering the relative displacement RMS is employed to calculate the inerter coefficient. The performance of the AISD suspension system is compared to that of both conventional quarter car systems and traditional air quarter car systems, with a focus on ride comfort and handling. The results demonstrate that the proposed AISD system outperforms the other two suspension systems, exhibiting a significant improvement in ride quality. Specifically, the AISD system achieves a 45% enhancement over the air suspension and an 82% improvement over the classic suspension system.","PeriodicalId":509770,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part D: Journal of Automobile Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141107792","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}

Whereas, increasing the effectiveness of the braking system is highly challenging for the researchers to ensure safe driving by minimizing the stopping distance of the vehicle during braking. However, the performance of the braking system mainly relies on the brake disc material utilized in the braking system. In the current trend, the usage of alternate materials with a high strength-to-weight ratio is in practice to reduce the fuel consumption of the automobile. Hence, researchers concentrate on Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites and Metal Matrix Composites to manufacture automotive components. In this research work, the performance of the existing mild steel brake rotor is correlated with brake discs fabricated using different materials such as zirconium-coated steel, AA7075+nSiCp, AA6061+nano Rice Husk Ash particles, Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer composite, and Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer composites. The effectiveness of a two-wheeler braking system is reported concerning the stopping distance, disc weight, friction coefficient, and wear resistance properties of the brake disc material. Moreover, a 3D Finite Element Model (3D FEM) is also developed and the braking mechanism is simulated. The experimental and FEA results reveal that SiC reinforced AA7075 composite shows compromising properties as required such as maximum stress of 558 MPa, excellent wear resistance, good friction coefficient of 0.40, good temperature dissipation property, and effective stopping distance of 81 m.","PeriodicalId":509770,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part D: Journal of Automobile Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141107957","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 paper focuses on active lateral dynamics control of an electric vehicle equipped with 4 in-wheel motors and active rear steering. An integral terminal sliding mode controller (ITSMC) is derived starting from the linearized single track model with the addition of the rear wheel steering angle. The controller has a multi-input multi-output structure and is designed to track vehicle yaw rate and sideslip angle reference quantities through torque vectoring and active rear steering actuation. A novel approach for calculating reference sideslip angle and yaw rate using a logistic function is also presented in this paper. The ITSMC relies on real time knowledge of sideslip angle which cannot be measured in the real vehicle, thus it is estimated through the addition of an extended Kalman filter to the control loop. The performance of the controller is tested with VI-CarRealTime 14 degrees of freedom nonlinear model both for steady state and transient manoeuvres. Simulation results show a good tracking of the reference value with no chattering issues and with an improved behaviour if compared to a sliding mode controller from literature.","PeriodicalId":509770,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part D: Journal of Automobile Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141105272","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}

Traditional model-based approaches with weight-sum objectives may result in misleading optimization or even unstable situations because of the inherent poor scalability and synergy. To overcome this issue, this paper proposes a novel game theory-based control strategy with model adaptation mechanism for the hybrid electric flying car to enhance the control performance, system stability, and robustness. Firstly, a control-oriented model of the system is derived with the utilization of the recursive least square parameter estimation method. The non-cooperative game framework is then established with the turboshaft engine subsystem and electric supply subsystem treated as two independent players. The performance of Nash equilibrium solutions with closed-loop and open-loop information structures are investigated where the problem is iteratively solved by exploiting Pontryagin’s Minimum Principle and dynamic programming, respectively. The simulation results demonstrate that the game theory-based controllers can outperform MPC with the weight-sum objectives in terms of control efficiency and robustness improvement and the game theory-based controller with open-loop information structure shows excellent computation efficiency. Moreover, the result of the hardware-in-the-loop experiment demonstrates the real-time performance of the proposed controller.","PeriodicalId":509770,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part D: Journal of Automobile Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141104972","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 research deals with offering two precise yet straightforward analytical functions intended to generate comprehensive performance maps of turbocharger turbines. This is achieved through a refined adjustment of a preexisting analytical function, after introducing an inventive multiplication factor that aligns numerical calculations with experimental data to predict the turbine’s expansion ratio. Besides, a second analytical function forecasts the turbine’s thermo-mechanical efficiency by establishing a power balance equation between the turbine and supplied compressor map. The outcome of the developed model is compared with existing method on two distinct turbochargers, encompassing various rotational speeds. Additionally, a sensitive analysis aiming to detect the most important factors affecting our developed model while exploring it possible validity range for different thermodynamic parameters. The results indicate that the two functions yield reliable estimations of turbine performance, with maximum; root mean square error, R2, and mean absolute percentage error indices find around 9.47%, 0.993, and 9.03% for the turbine expansion ratio, and about 4.42%, 0.612, and 19.78% for efficiency prediction. This novel model enhances simulation accuracy while preserving user-friendliness and robustness based on the prerequisite of limited geometric and thermodynamic parameters at the turbocharger boundaries. Finally, the main advantages of the proposed model is its adaptability for the implementation in calculation codes, turbomachinery optimization strategies and assessments of the design and performance, addressing scenarios where the original turbine maps are rarely provided by turbocharger manufacturers.","PeriodicalId":509770,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part D: Journal of Automobile Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141123322","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 this paper, an intelligent hierarchical controller for industrial vehicles’ path tracking is designed with full hydraulic steering leakage compensation, including an upper decision layer and a lower execution layer. The upper decision layer observes the pavement-tyre adhesion coefficients through an extended Kalman filter algorithm, and uses the real-time observations of the adhesion coefficients to establish a variable constraint control for the linear time-varying MPC, and thus performs the path tracking control. The lower actuator layer receives the upper layer’s target steering wheel angle output and performs steering operations. Based on the establishment of a mathematical model of full hydraulic steering considering the leakage characteristics, it analyses the leakage disturbance factors and constructs a fuzzy feed-forward steering leakage compensation controller to compensate for the leakage disturbances in real time for path tracking steering. Simulation and experimental results show that the lateral acceleration, sideslip angle, tyre side slip angle and tracking error of intelligent industrial vehicles under different loads and working conditions are improved by more than 32.4%, 35.8%, 40.2% and 45.8% respectively, and the designed hierarchical controller for the path tracking of intelligent industrial vehicles, which considers the compensation of all-hydraulic steering leakage, can effectively improve the path tracking stability and tracking accuracy of intelligent industrial vehicles under different loads and working conditions.","PeriodicalId":509770,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part D: Journal of Automobile Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140968000","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}

Exploring the dynamic characteristics of the boneless wiper-windshield system is a prerequisite for understanding vibration and noise. In this paper, the dynamic characteristics of the boneless wiper-windshield system are investigated, and a rigid-flexible coupled multi-body dynamic model matching the real boneless wiper-windshield system is constructed. The friction characteristic of the dynamic model is studied through the wiper test bench experiment. The nonlinear dynamic response of the dynamic model is calculated with the Adams and results of the frictional vibration are well reproduced in real motions. The parallel analysis of the simulation calculation results and the real vehicle test results confirms the validity of the model. The results show that the vibration generation mechanism at the moments before and after the reversal can be explained by the instability of the wiper blades due to the negative friction characteristic. There are differences in the magnitude of the reversal impact force and the moment of reversal at each position of the wiper blade. The effect of the speed-gears on the system vibration is analyzed through the simulation results.
