The performance of a conventional Class-E2-based WPT system is sensitive to system parameters such as the coil coupling coefficient and load variation. System efficiency decreases rapidly when the coil coupling coefficient and load deviate from their optimum values. In this paper, an impedance matching method and a design procedure are proposed to maintain high system efficiency over a wider range of coupling coefficient and load variations. The load-pull technique is adopted to identify the high-efficiency load region of a Class-E power amplifier (PA), and a double-L-type impedance matching network (IMN) is proposed to transform the load impedance of a Class-E PA into a high-efficiency working region. Compared to a single L-type IMN, a double-L-type IMN is more flexible and has better tuning performance. A 6.78MHz Class-E2-based WPT system was built to validate the proposed design method. The experimental results show that the proposed double-L-type IMN can significantly attenuate the decline in Class-E PA efficiency when system parameters dynamically change. With a double-L-type IMN, the WPT system could maintain high efficiency (over 55%) under a wider range of coil coupling coefficient and load variations. The peak system efficiency reached 83.2% with 13.7 W output power. The impedance matching method and design procedure in this paper could provide a practical solution for building a high-efficiency WPT system with strong robustness.

Since many years ago, kitchen appliances are powered up by cable connected. This create a troublesome case as wire might tangle together and cause kitchen table messy. Due to this, wireless power technology (WPT) is introduced as its ability is to transmit power to load without physical contact. This leads to cordless solution better in safety as the product can be completely seal, highly expandable power range. This work focuses on the design of WPT based on inductive approach to power up multiple kitchen appliances. The selection of inductive approach over its partners capacitive and acoustic is mainly due to high power efficiency. Class E inverter is proposed here to convert the DC to AC current to drive the inductive link. A 1 MHz operating frequency is used. To ensure the circuit is robust with load variations, an LCCL impedance matching is proposed. This solution is table to maintain the output power if there is a slight change in load impedance. Finally, the developed prototype is able to supply 50V utput which can achieve power transmission up to 81.76%.

Abstract The dynamics of a vehicle's tires is a major contributor to the vehicle stability, control, and performance. A better understanding of the handling performance and lateral stability of the vehicle can be achieved by an in-depth study of the transient behavior of the tire. In this article, the transient response of the tire to a steering angle input is examined and an analytical second order tire model is proposed. This model provides a means for a better understanding of the transient behavior of the tire. The proposed model is also applied to a vehicle model and its performance is compared with a first order tire model.

ABSTRACT The potential of a race tire strongly depends on its thermal condition, the load distribution in its contact patch, and the variation of wheel load. The approach described in this paper uses a modular structure consisting of elementary blocks for thermodynamics, transient excitation, and load distribution in the contact patch. The model provides conclusive tire characteristics by adopting the fundamental parameters of a simple mathematical force description. This then allows an isolated parameterization and examination of each block in order to subsequently analyze particular influences on the full model. For the characterization of the load distribution in the contact patch depending on inflation pressure, camber, and the present force state, a mathematical description of measured pressure distribution is used. This affects the tire's grip as well as the heat input to its surface and its casing. In order to determine the thermal condition, one-dimensional partial differential equations at discrete rings over the tire width solve the balance of energy. The resulting surface and rubber temperatures are used to determine the friction coefficient and stiffness of the rubber. The tire's transient behavior is modeled by a state selective filtering, which distinguishes between the dynamics of wheel load and slip. Simulation results for the range of occurring states at dry conditions show a sufficient correlation between the tire model's output and measured tire forces while requiring only a simplified and descriptive set of parameters.
