Multibody Dynamics Model

This paper presents a generalized, multibody dynamics model for a tracked vehicle equipped with a towing winch and control strategies that enhance vehicle mobility by regulating track slip based on real-time terrain characterization and automating winch use. The vehicle model is validated under conditions where no action is taken by the winch. Thereafter, two mobility enhancing control strategies are outlined. The first strategy regulates track slip to a real-time estimated value that generates maximum net traction. This is done by computing state-force estimates from a Kalman filter that are compared to terrain traction models using a Bayesian hypothesis selection approach. If the vehicle is traction limited and the first strategy fails, a second strategy that automates winch use is activated. Simulation results are shown for both scenarios.

With the construction of the urban rail transit (URT) network, the explosion of passenger volume is more rapid than the increased capacity of the newly built infrastructure, which results in serious passenger flow congestion (PLC). Understanding the propagation process of PLC is the key to formulate sustainable policies for reducing congestion and optimizing management. This study proposes a susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) model based on the theories of epidemiological dynamics and complex network to analyze the PLC propagation. We simulate the PLC propagation under various situations, and analyze the sensitivity of PLC propagation to model parameters. Finally, the control strategies of restricting PLC propagation are introduced from two aspects, namely, supply control and demand control. The results indicate that both of the two control strategies contribute to relieving congestion pressure. The propagating scope of PLC is more sensitive when taking mild supply control, whereas, the demand control strategy shows some advantages in flexibly implementing and dealing with serious congestion. These results are of important guidance for URT agencies to understand the mechanism of PLC propagation and formulate appropriate congestion control strategies.

At present, the performance of the vehicle dynamics model is mainly evaluated objectively through offline simulation. In this paper, a vehicle dynamics model was implemented in dSPACE, which was applied to the Automotive Performance Simulator and the preliminary study was made for the realization of the subjective evaluation of the performance of vehicle dynamics model through the real-time closed-loop online simulation. The dSPACE interface library was used to write a Clib program to operate and control the Carsim RT model running on the dSPACE platform, which realized the communication between the external hardware and the real-time hardware of dSPACE.

This presentation will summarise the experiences gained from a Legionella project within Nordic Sugar which emphasises risk evaluation, modern DNA analysis methods, control strategies and water treatment methods. The project started in 2002 with yearly campaign screenings for Legionella spp and Legionella pneumophila. Initially an ISO Legionella method for quantification was used, but this was replaced with a modern, rapid DNA-based Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction assay in 2005. The assay time for quantitative results using the Real Time PCR is approximately 3 hours compared to between 10 and 14 days for the ISO-method. All Nordic Sugar factories equipped with cooling towers are screened on a weekly or bi-weekly basis during every sugar campaign. Only one sugar factory has shown consistently positive results for Legionella pneumophila on a moderate level. A multiple biocide approach combined with a dispersing agent was successfully used to control the Legionella. In 2010 a non-chemical treatment method, Wallenius AOT-system was installed to eliminate an annual high cost for biocides. The system successfully controlled the L. pneumophila even when the cooling water was partially exchanged with fresh lake water.

The deep-sea mining miner requires good passability to operate in complex and changeable terrain environment of the seabed. Among them, the track tension is an important factor to ensure the normal running of the vehicle. Aiming at the complex track tension problem on track link, the forces on each component of the tracked system were analyzed, and the theoretical formulas of track tension were established. The theoretical estimation and dynamic simulation of track tension in uniform speed were carried out by using the multibody dynamics model of the tracked vehicle, and the rationality of the theoretical estimation formula was verified. The influencing factors of track tension also were analyzed, and the significance of each factor on track was discussed by dynamic simulation. The results provided a theoretical basis for design of tracked vehicles.

The Impact

Forward osmosis has gained tremendous attention in the field of desalination and wastewater treatment. However, membrane fouling is an inevitable issue. Membrane fouling leads to flux decline, can cause operational problems and can result in negative consequences that can damage the membrane. Hereby, we attempt to review the different types of fouling in forward osmosis, cleaning and control strategies for fouling mitigation, and the impact of membrane hydrophilicity, charge and morphology on fouling. The fundamentals of biofouling, organic, colloidal and inorganic fouling are discussed with a focus on recent studies. We also review some of the in-situ real-time online fouling monitoring technologies for real-time fouling monitoring that can be applicable to future research on forward osmosis fouling studies. A brief discussion on critical flux and the coupled effects of fouling and concentration polarization is also provided.
