Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)-based organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) are widely utilized to construct highly sensitive biosensors. However, the PSS phase exhibits insulation, weak acidity, and aqueous instability. In this work, we fabricated PEDOT OECT by alternating current electrodeposition in protic ionic liquids. The steady-state characteristics were demonstrated to be stable in long-term tests. In detail, the maximum transconductance, the on/off current ratio, and the hysteresis were stable at 2.79 mS, 504, and 0.12 V, respectively. Though the transient behavior was also stable, the time constant could reach 218.6 ms. Thus, the trade-off between switching speed and stability needs to be considered in applications that require a rapid response.

In this paper, an intelligent sliding mode controlled voltage source inverter (VSI) is developed to achieve not only quick transient behavior, but satisfactory steady-state response. The presented approach combines the respective merits of a nonsingular fast terminal attractor (NFTA) as well as an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). The NFTA allows no singularity and error states to be converged to the equilibrium within a finite time, while conventional sliding mode control (SMC) leads to long-term (infinite) convergent behavior. However, there is the likelihood of chattering or steady-state error occurring in NFTA due to the overestimation or underestimation of system uncertainty bound. The ANFIS with accurate estimation and the ease of implementation is employed in NFTA for suppressing the chatter or steady-state error so as to improve the system’s robustness against uncertain disturbances. Simulation results display that this described approach yields low distorted output wave shapes and quick transience in the presence of capacitor input rectifier loading as well as abrupt connection of linear loads. Experimental results conducted on a 1 kW VSI prototype with control algorithm implementation in Texas Instruments DSP (digital signal processor) support the theoretic analysis and reaffirm the robust performance of the developed VSI. Because the proposed VSI yields remarkable benefits over conventional terminal attractor VSIs on the basis of computational quickness and unsophisticated realization, the presented approach is a noteworthy referral to the designers of correlated VSI applications in future, such as DC (direct current) microgrids and AC (alternating current) microgrids, or even hybrid AC/DC microgrids.

The coupled effect between ship motions and sloshing is studied. Two-dimensional experiments of a hull section containing tanks filled with different levels of water excited in sway by regular waves have been conducted. Steady-state results are obtained for the sway amplitude. Even if violent sloshing occurs in the tanks, the steady-state motion is almost linear and sinusoidal with the frequency of the linear incident waves. This implies that higher-order harmonics of the sloshing force are filtered out by the system. Simulations of the modeled case are performed using a linear and a nonlinear sloshing model and mainly assuming linear external flow. For steady-state motion, a convolution formulation does not improve the results relative to using constant coefficients in the equation of motion. However, in order to properly model the transient behavior in an irregular sea, a convolution formulation must be included. The treatment of the retardation function for the external problem is discussed in detail. A good agreement between experiments and computations is reported. The calculated coupled motion is sensitive to the damping of the sloshing motion in a certain frequency range where the coupled sloshing and ship motions cause resonant ship motions. A quasilinear frequency domain analysis is used to explain this by introducing the sloshing loads as a frequency dependent spring.

Formula Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) (FSAE) is a student design competition organized by SAE International (previously known as the Society of Automotive Engineers, SAE). Commonly, the student team performs a lap simulation as a point mass, bicycle or planar model of vehicle dynamics allow for the design of a top-level concept of the FSAE vehicle. However, to design different FSAE components, a full vehicle simulation is required including a comprehensive tire model. In the proposed study, the different tires of a FSAE vehicle were tested at a track to parametrize the tire based on the empirical approach commonly known as the magic formula. A thermal tire model was proposed to describe the tread, carcass, and inflation gas temperatures. The magic formula was modified to incorporate the temperature effect on the force capability of a FSAE tire to achieve higher accuracy in the simulation environment. Considering the model validation, the several maneuvers, typical for FSAE competitions, were performed. A skidpad and full lap maneuvers were chosen to simulate steady-state and transient behavior of the FSAE vehicle. The full vehicle simulation results demonstrated a high correlation to the measurement data for steady-state maneuvers and limited accuracy in highly dynamic driving. In addition, the results show that neglecting temperature in the tire model results in higher root mean square error (RMSE) of lateral acceleration and yaw rate.

Hot spots on a microelectronic package can severely hurt the performance and long-term reliability of the chip. Thermoelectric coolers (TECs) have been shown to potentially provide efficient site-specific on-demand cooling of hot spots in microprocessors. TECs could lengthen the amount of time a processor is capable of running at full speed in the short-term and also provide long-term reliability by creating a more uniform temperature distribution across the chip. We have created a compact model for fast and accurate modeling of the TEC device integrated inside an electronic package. A 1-D compact model for TEC is first built in SPICE and has been validated for steady-state and transient behavior against a finite-volume model. The 1-D model of TEC was then incorporated into compact model of a prototype electronic package and simulations were performed to validate its steady state and transient behavior. This integrated compact model’s results are in good agreement with a finite volume based model developed for TECs integrated inside a package and confirmed the compact model’s ability to accurately model the TEC’s interaction with package. The compact model has relatively small error when compared to the finite-volume based model and obtains results in a fraction of the time, reducing run-time in a transient simulation by 430%. A simple controller was added to the electronic package and TEC model to provide an initial test of how the compact model can aid design of more complex control systems to efficiently operate the thermoelectric coolers.

Sub-picosecond turn-on transient behavior of ballistic diodes (N+ - N - N+ structures) is studied by solving a system of time-dependent hydrodynamic (HD) equations. Convective terms as well as viscous effect are included in the study. The simulation result indicates that the diode undergoes approximately one quarter of a plasma oscillation before it relaxes to the steady-state value through collisions.

Steady state and transient computer models of a micro turbine were produced. The engine under study was a micro-jet engine that when tested at 126,000 RPM provided 95 N thrust. The aero-thermal model uses generic performance maps for the compressor and turbine which were modified, based on operating data, to represent the components in the engine under study. The model also includes the inlet ducting connected to the engine. It simulates engine operation from idle to full power over the expected operating range of ambient temperature, pressure and humidity. A comparison of steady state model results to actual engine operating data is presented over the full range of speeds. The effect of ambient humidity on the engine operating point is examined for a micro-engine, in particular at temperatures above 30° Celsius. The techniques for introducing component faults are given and their effect on the engine operation is presented. The degraded components are the turbine and inlet flow passages. The methods for modeling the transient behavior of the engine are also presented. Results are presented for both acceleration and deceleration of the engine between steady state operating point. These results are also compared to the operating engine.
