According to the dynamics and the tire model under tire adhesion limit, the stability acceptance criteria of vehicles during cornering braking are proposed. According to the stability acceptance criteria and the ABS control, the EBD control methods of ABS-equipped vehicles during cornering braking are implemented by adjusting the threshold values of tires slip independently. The vehicle states during cornering braking at two typical initial velocities of the vehicle are analyzed by the EBD control methods, whose results indicate the EBD control methods can improve the braking performances of the vehicle during cornering braking comparing with the ABS control.展开更多

Firstly, an algorithm for enhancing the maneuvering in steady-state cornering is presented. On this basis, two categories of control strategies are used to dynamically correct and compensate the transient state steering responses and vehicle behaviors. Simulator tests including subjective evaluations and virtual field tests are both conducted to make comprehensive investigations on the series of control logics. The subjective evaluations demonstrate that the SBW vehicle with a specifically selected value of steering sensitivity tends to be more desirable for driving than a conventional one in which a fixed steering ratio exists. The virtual field tests indicate that the control strategies for dynamical correction and compensation could effectively improve the handling per-formances of an SBW vehicle by reducing the work load of drivers, enhancing the track-holding performance, and improving steering response properties.展开更多

In this paper, the effect of the torque vectoring on traction energy conservation during cornering for a rear-wheel-independent-drive electric vehicle is investigated.Firstly, turning resistance coefficient and energy conservation mechanism of torque vectoring are derived from the single track dynamic model. Next, an optimal torque vectoring control strategy based on genetic algorithm is proposed, with the consideration of the influence of the operation-point change of the in-wheel motors, to find out the best torque vectoring ratio offline. Finally,various simulation tests are conducted to validate the energy conservation effect after Simulink modelling. The results verify that though the optimization of the operating region of the motors is the main part for tractive energy conservation, the contribution of torque vectoring itself can reach up to 1.7% in some typical cases.展开更多

Our results demonstrate the coexistence of first-and second-order magnonic topologies, with non-Hermitian effects exhibiting size-dependent behavior. In two-dimensional systems, non-Hermitian terms induce a flat band and gap closure along high-symmetry paths, whereas in one-dimensional systems, a finite band gap persists for small system sizes. Additionally, the corner states remain robust, and a pronounced non-Hermitian skin effect emerges. Our findings provide new insights into magnon-based devices, emphasizing the impact of non-Hermitian effects on their design and functionality.展开更多

文摘We investigate magnonic topology in the breathing Su–Schrieffer–Heeger(SSH) model, incorporating non-Hermitian effects. Our results demonstrate the coexistence of first-and second-order magnonic topologies, with non-Hermitian effects exhibiting size-dependent behavior. In two-dimensional systems, non-Hermitian terms induce a flat band and gap closure along high-symmetry paths, whereas in one-dimensional systems, a finite band gap persists for small system sizes. Additionally, the corner states remain robust, and a pronounced non-Hermitian skin effect emerges. Our findings provide new insights into magnon-based devices, emphasizing the impact of non-Hermitian effects on their design and functionality.

文摘With the advent of in-wheel motors and corner modules,the structure of vehicle chassis subsystems has shifted from traditionally centralized to distributed.This review focuses on the distributed chassis system(DCS)equipped with corner modules.It first provides a comprehensive summary and description of the revolution of the structure and control methods of vehicle chassis systems(including driving,braking,suspension,and steering systems).Given that DCS integrates various chassis subsystems,this review moves beyond individual subsystem analysis and delves into the coordination of these subsystems at the vehicle level.It provides a detailed summary of the methods and architectures used for integrated coordination and control,ensuring that multiple subsystems can function seamlessly as an integrated whole.Finally,this review summarizes the latest distributed control architecture for DCS.It also examines current control theories in the fields of control and information technology for distributed systems,such as multi-agent systems and cyber-physical systems.Based on these two control approaches,a multi-domain cooperative control framework for DCS is proposed.

文摘The intelligent vehicle corner module system,which integrates four-wheel independent drive,independent steering,independent braking and active suspension,can accurately and efficiently perform vehicle driving tasks and is the best carrier of intelligent vehicles.Nevertheless,too many angle/torque control inputs make control difficult and non-real-time.In this paper,a hierarchical real-time motion control framework for corner module configuration intelligent electric vehicles is proposed.In the trajectory planning module,an improved driving risk field is designed to describe the surrounding environment’s driving risk.Combined with the kinematic vehicle-road model,model predictive control(MPC)method,spline curve method,the local reference trajectory of safety,comfort and smoothness is planned in real time.The optimal steering angle is determined using MPC method in path tracking module.In the motion control module,a feedforward-feedback controller assigns the optimal steering angle to the front/rear axles,and an angle allocation controller distributes the target angles of the front/rear axles to four steered wheels.Finally,the PreScan-Simulink-CarSim joint simulation environment is established for conducting the human-in-the-loop emergency obstacle avoidance experiment.It took only 0.005 s for the hierarchical motion control system to determine its average solution time.This proves the effectiveness of the hierarchical motion control system.

文摘Three-dimensional(3D)cell spheroids,generated utilizing the self-organizing properties of mammalian cells,exhibit significant advantages and hold important value in simulating tissue complexity.However,they still encounter numerous limitations,including the absence of spatial anisotropy in cell spheroids,which can compromise their reliability in numerous preclinical drug tests.This study utilizes two-photon polymerization(TPP)3D printing technology,drawing inspiration from common liquid transport structures in nature,to design a microstructure featuring periodic parallel microcavities and wedge angles.This design enables unilateral immobilization and capillary rise of soft condensed matter.This structure facilitates the directed migration of 3D cell spheroids through the physical properties of the structure itself in static culture.Consequently,the original 3D cultured cell spheroids can acquire unique anisotropy within the spatial structure in a static culture environment,presenting a novel perspective for constructing biological constructs and cultivating connections between various cell spheroids,such as organoids.
