Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The electric vehicle theme is an important and relevant subject that paves the path for popular green vehicle technologies, since vehicle emissions account for more than 60% of the total pollutants in the urban air and have aroused great attention. Therefore, today, the need for zero-emission and ultra-low-emission vehicles is pressing, and the current fossil energy consumption is problematic. Moreover, as core components, electromagnetic devices are crucial for electric vehicles, and significantly impact the characteristics of the vehicles. In this context, Electronics is proposing to bring out a Special Issue aiming to provide the reader with a better understanding of the advanced research in electric vehicles and electromagnetic devices. 

We invite authors to submit original research articles to this Special Issue addressing the following potential topics. The Scope will include, but is not limited to:

  • Pure electric vehicles and electric drive systems;
  • Independent drive/brake/steering systems;
  • Vehicle noise and vibration;
  • Multiple driving modes and new control systems;
  • Instability mechanisms and handling stability, acceleration slip regulation, model predictive and trajectory tracking control theories for electric vehicles;
  • New sensors and data collection systems;
  • Artificial intelligence and driverless technology;
  • Electromagnetic elements and techniques;
  • Electromagnetic system design, simulation, and control. 

In addition, in order to facilitate the comprehensive exchange of scholars, several open scopes of the Special Issue are provided, and mainly include:

  • Mechatronic engineering;
  • Electromagnetism ;
  • Power electronic technology;
  • Mechanical engineering and automation. 

Studies may utilize analytical models, different numerical methods, as well as experimental approaches.

The reduction in sound pressure level is the focus of noise reduction in construction machinery, but the sound quality parameters can better describe the operator’s subjective perception of noise. This paper proposes a sound quality control method for the cab, which is based on complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition for signal decomposition and reconstruction and an adaptive control algorithm error filter. Firstly, a subjective and objective prediction model was created to identify the target parameters for the sound quality control in the cab. Secondly, the noise was reconstructed based on a complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition method, thus evaluating the influence of each component on the sound quality and determining the frequency interval. Lastly, the active sound quality control was completed based on the variable step size filter-error least mean square algorithm. The experiments were performed in the cab of a mini-excavator to verify the method’s effectiveness. It was verified that the loudness peak drops by 0.95 sones under stationary idle working conditions. The results demonstrate that the above methods play a guiding role in the actual application of sound quality control for the cab of construction machinery. Full article

The dynamic characteristics of rigid-flexible manipulators involve complex rigid-flexible coupling phenomena, which essentially comprise a nonlinear distributed parameter system with infinite degrees of freedom. Consequently, it results in challenges to the manipulator’s precise positioning. This study combined a state feedback module and a fuzzy non-singular terminal sliding mode to suppress vibration and deformation. Using the improved fuzzy strategy and non-singular terminal sliding mode control, an adaptive dynamic supplementary control law is proposed. The results based on MATLAB simulation and a built hardware experiment show that this method is effective and superior. While realizing the accurate positioning of the end of the manipulator, the vibration of the end of the flexible arm is significantly suppressed. This method has a high tracking performance, which enables accurate positioning of the manipulator terminal and provides strong robustness under the action of bounded external interference.

The landing gear system has the task of bearing the weight of the aircraft, bearing the impact load, and providing the braking function in the process of the aircraft taxiing, take-off, and landing. There are many parameters in the aviation brake pressure servo valve-controlled cylinder system (ABPSVCS) which will have a significant influence on the dynamic behavior of the system. Sensitivity analysis is an effective method to analyze the influence of system parameters on system characteristics, especially for nonlinear systems. The trajectory sensitivity method based on the description of system state space is used for the parameter sensitivity analysis of the ABPSVCS. By grouping various parameters for sensitivity analysis, the law of parameter sensitivity of each group is obtained, and the results are verified by experiments. The results can lay a theoretical and experimental foundation for the related research work of the aviation brake pressure servo valve. Full article

Pneumatic suspension is the most significant subsystem for an automobile. In this paper, a simplified and novel pneumatic spring structure with only a conical rubber surface is presented and designed to reduce the influence of external factors besides the pneumatic. The nonlinear stiffness of the pneumatic spring is analyzed based on the ideal gas model and material mechanics. Natural frequency analysis and the transmission rate of the pneumatic suspension are obtained as two effect criteria for the dynamic model. The vibration isolation system platform is established in both simulation and prototype tests. With the results from the simulation, the rules of the pneumatic suspension are analyzed, and the optimal function of mass and pressure is achieved. The experiment results show the analysis of the simulation to be effective. This achievement will become an important basis for future research concerning precise active control of the pneumatic suspension in vehicles. Full article
