A driver’s internal state is a critical factor influencing driving performance, especially in cases of surprise or shock in response to unexpected incidents while driving. This study was designed to investigate the brain activity of a senior driver in response to simulated unexpected vehicle motion, compared with a relaxed state and normal driving |
This paper presents the results of research and test of the self-designed and manufactured rotary friction welding machine. Tensile test results show that the tensile strength of the material after welding is satisfactory according to the standards of the material |
A variety of deep learning schemes have endeavoured to integrate deep neural networks (DNNs) into channel coded systems by jointly designing DNN and the channel coding scheme in specific channels. However, this leads to limitations concerning the choice of both the channel coding scheme and the channel paramters. We circumvent these impediments and conceive a turbo-style multi-carrier auto-encoder (MC-AE) for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, which is the first one that achieves the flexible integration of DNN into any given channel coded systems while achieving an iteration gain. More explicitly, first of all, we design the MC-AE independently of both the channel coding arrangement and of the channel model, where the output layer of the MC-AE decoder is des... |
In this paper, the authors investigate the stability and stick-slip motion of a friction-induced vibrating system placed on a belt moving at constant velocity using two-state model with consideration of dwell-time effect. The two-state model can be considered as an extension of the LuGre model because it can capture both Stribeck and dwell-time effects in the case of near-zero relative motion velocity between two surfaces. The previously known Stribeck effect is that the friction force decreases as the relative velocity increases in the near-zero range, while the dwell-time effect exhibits that the friction force increases as two surfaces are kept in contact for a certain time. With new effect of dwell-time, properties of stick-slip motion are explored in detail, including the equil... |
Multiphase Al2O3 samples are simulated using molecular dynamics method. These samples consist of γ-Al2O3 and α-Al2O3 crystals embedded in a disordered phase matrix. The stress–strain curves of these samples show elastic and plastic deformation. Structural analysis indicates that the AlO bond lengths are stretched and the geometries of the AlOx (x = 4, 5, and 6) units are distorted during tensile deformation. AlO bond breakage causes the transformation of AlOx units; AlO4 increases while AlO6 decreases with increasing strain. The γ-Al2O3 and α-Al2O3 crystals transfer into the disordered phase, while a small number of atoms recrystallize under tensile loads. In plastic deformation, large simplexes with radii above 1.958 Å increase rapidly with increasing strains above 0.116, with th... |
The phenomenon of vehicle rollover usually occurs when the driver suddenly steers at high speed. The centrifugal force will appear and cause the vehicle’s body to tilt. To overcome this situation, the solution of using the stabilizer bar is proposed. The passive stabilizer bar has a simple structure, low cost, and long service life. As a result, it is now a standard on most vehicles. This paper has established a dynamic model to describe a vehicle’s oscillation. As a result of the study, the maximum roll angle of the vehicle was reduced from 9.0° to 8.2° when the stabilizer bar was used. Besides, the minimum value of the vertical force at the wheel reached 485(N) and 1162(N), respectively, corresponding to the two survey cases. The movement trajectory of the vehicle when using the s... |
We theoretically investigate high-pressure effects on the atomic dynamics of metallic glasses. The theory predicts compression-induced rejuvenation and the resulting strain hardening that have been recently observed in metallic glasses. Structural relaxation under pressure is mainly governed by local cage dynamics. The external pressure restricts the dynamical constraints and slows down the atomic mobility. In addition, the compression induces a rejuvenated metastable state (local minimum) at a higher energy in the free-energy landscape. Thus, compressed metallic glasses can rejuvenate and the corresponding relaxation is reversible. This behavior leads to strain hardening in mechanical deformation experiments. Theoretical predictions agree well with experiments. |
We investigate the impact dynamics of a single wet agglomerate composed of primary spherical particles impacting a flat plane by using three-dimensional discrete element method simulations. The primary particle is assumed to be rigid and interacted with its near-neighboring particles by introducing approximate analytical expressions of capillary cohesion forces and lubrication forces induced from the liquid in addition to their elastic and frictional interactions. The paper analyzes the mechanical strength, the deformation, and the connectivity of wet particle agglomerate during the impact as well as in its early-stage impact and the final-stage deposition. We show that the mechanical strength, deformation, and connectivity of granule strongly depend on the key parameters (the liqui... |
A large number of piezoelectric polymers have been studied and applied widely recently and become an attractive topic in both material science and applied engineering fields. Piezoelectric polymers such as Poly(vinyl fluoride) and Poly(γ-benzyl, L-glutamate) fabricated in nanofibers have shown impressive properties in the aspect of low weight, high flexibility and high piezoelectricity. One of the major parameters influencing to the piezoelectricity of electrospun fibers is the orientation. This paper reviews the contribution of fiber orientation to the piezoelectricity properties and the technique to manipulate the orientation. The research group introduces for the first time a fully integrated and compact electrospinning system which is low cost and suitable for both lab-scale and... |
In this paper, we present exact methods for solving the Time Dependent Minimum Tour Duration Problem (TD-MTDP) and the Time Dependent Delivery Man Problem (TD-DMP). Both methods are based on a Dynamic Discretization Discovery (DDD) approach for solving the Time Dependent Traveling Salesman Problem with Time Windows (TD-TSPTW). Unlike the TD-TSPTW, these problems involve objective functions that depend in part on the time at which the vehicle departs the depot. As such, optimizing these problems adds a scheduling dimension to the problem. We present multiple enhancements to the DDD method, including enabling it to dynamically determine which waiting opportunities at the depot to model. With an extensive computational study we demonstrate that the resulting methods outperform all know... |
