Testing Protocols

Durability is the most pressing issue preventing the efficient commercialization of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) stationary and transportation applications. A big barrier to overcoming the durability limitations is gaining a better understanding of failure modes for user profiles. In addition, durability test protocols for determining the lifetime of PEMFCs are important factors in the development of the technology. These methods are designed to gather enough data about the cell/stack to understand its efficiency and durability without causing it to fail. They also provide some indication of the cell/stack’s age in terms of changes in performance over time. Based on a study of the literature, the fundamental factors influencing PEMFC long-term durability and the durability test protocols for both PEMFC stationary and transportation applications were discussed and outlined in depth in this review. This brief analysis should provide engineers and researchers with a fast overview as well as a useful toolbox for investigating PEMFC durability issues.

Automated pavement distress recognition is a key step in smart infrastructure assessment. Advances in deep learning and computer vision have improved the automated recognition of pavement distresses in road surface images. This task remains challenging due to the high variation of defects in shapes and sizes, demanding a better incorporation of contextual information into deep networks. In this paper, we show that an attention-based multi-scale convolutional neural network (A+MCNN) improves the automated classification of common distress and non-distress objects in pavement images by (i) encoding contextual information through multi-scale input tiles and (ii) employing a mid-fusion approach with an attention module for heterogeneous image contexts from different input scales. A+MCNN is trained and tested with four distress classes (crack, crack seal, patch, pothole), five non-distress classes (joint, marker, manhole cover, curbing, shoulder), and two pavement classes (asphalt, concrete). A+MCNN is compared with four deep classifiers that are widely used in transportation applications and a generic CNN classifier (as the control model). The results show that A+MCNN consistently outperforms the baselines by 1∼26% on average in terms of the F-score. A comprehensive discussion is also presented regarding how these classifiers perform differently on different road objects, which has been rarely addressed in the existing literature.

As an aid to improving the dynamic response of the steam reformer, a dynamic model is developed to provide preliminary characterizations of the major constraints that limit the ability of a reformer to respond to the varying output requirements occurring in vehicular applications. This model is a first principles model that identifies important physical parameters in the steam reformer. The model is then incorporated into a design optimization process, where minimum steam reformer response time is specified as the objective function. This tool is shown to have the potential to be a powerful means of determining the values of the steam reformer design parameters that yield the fastest response time to a step input in hydrogen demand for a given set of initial conditions. A more extensive application of this methodology, yielding steam reformer design recommendations, is contained in a related publication.

Abstract ATI 201 HP is a 200-series, Cr-Mn-Ni austenitic stainless steel. It is comparable to the Cr-Ni stainless steel types 301, 304, and 304L in many respects, and can even provide some advantages over the 18-8 grades in certain applications. Because it possess a very desirable combination of economy plus good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, it has been used in a wide variety of consumer and transportation applications. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, and joining. Filing Code: SS-1332. Producer or source: ATI.
