To study the ride comfort of wheel-hub-driven electric vehicles, a simulation and verification method based on a combination of ADAMS and MATLAB modeling is proposed. First, a multibody dynamic simulation model of an in-wheel motor-driven electric vehicle is established using ADAMS/Car. Then, the pavement excitation and electromagnetic force analytical equations are provided based on the specific operating conditions of the vehicle and the in-wheel motor to analyze the impact of the electromagnetic force fluctuation from an unsprung mass increase and motor air gap unevenness on vehicle ride comfort after the introduction of an in-wheel motor. Next, the vibration model and the motion differential equation of the body–wheel dual-mass system of an in-wheel motor-driven electric vehicle are established. The influence of the in-wheel motor on the vibration response index of the dual-mass system is analyzed by using MATLAB/Simulink software. The variation in the vehicle vibration performance index with/without the motor electromagnetic force excitation factor is analyzed and compared with the ADAMS multibody dynamics analysis results. The results show that the method based on a combination of ADAMS and MATLAB modeling can forecast the ride comfort of an in-wheel motor-driven electric vehicle, reducing the cost of physical prototype experiments.

Increasingly electric vehicle design is looking forward the application of multiple ratio transmissions in place of traditional single ratio gearboxes. The choice of gear ratio has significant influence on vehicle performance, including range, acceleration, and gradeability. To study the impact of different transmissions on EV’s dynamic and economic performance, mathematical models of an EV is presented which is applicable to both single and multiple ratio transmissions. These transmission variants are then studied under different operating conditions to investigate how operating conditions in the motor work efficiency change with different transmissions. Here comparisons are made between 2-speed and single speed transmission. Then the reasons for the results are analysed.

The hub motor significantly increases the unsprung mass of electric in-wheel vehicles, which deteriorates the ride comfort and safety of vehicles and which can be effectively improved by optimizing the main suspension parameters of vehicles reasonably, so a multi-objective optimization method of main suspension parameters based on adaptive particle swarm algorithm is proposed and the dynamic model of a half in-wheel electric vehicle is established. Taking the stiffness coefficient of the suspension damping spring and damping coefficient of the damper as independent variables, the vertical acceleration of the body, the pitch acceleration and the vertical impact force of the hub motor as optimization variables, and the dynamic deflection of the suspension and the dynamic load of the wheel as constraint variables, the multi-objective optimization function is constructed, and the parameters are simulated and optimized under the compound pavement. The simulation results show that the vertical acceleration and pitch acceleration are reduced by 20.2% and 18.4% respectively, the vertical impact force of the front hub motor is reduced by 3.7%, and the ride comfort and safety are significantly improved.

The European Parliament has adopted Directive 2019/1161 on the promotion of environmentally friendly and energy-efficient road transport vehicles, which also defines the obligations and forms of support for the procurement of environmentally friendly vehicles in urban logistics. The increase in the number of shipments delivered within e-commerce, which is also the result of the COVID-19 pandemic, requires a transition to a sustainable logistics system. New research questions are being raised in the preparation of new projects for the introduction of small electric commercial vehicles in particular. One of the main research questions about deployment itself is whether light commercial electric vehicles are able to fully replace conventionally powered vehicles. What operating conditions are optimal for the operation of them? How does load weight affect the energy efficiency of operating a light commercial electric vehicle? The authors decided to carry out research into the impacts of weight and the nature of a driving cycle under laboratory conditions to eliminate all external factors that could distort individual measurements and their results. In order to simulate driving cycles, an urban driving cycle was designed on the basis of the course of speed, acceleration, deceleration and slope conditions of roads in the selected regional city of Žilina (Slovakia). In the case of the operation of an electrically powered light commercial vehicle, the impact of load weight on the range of the vehicle is low, and is below the level of the theoretical maximum range of the vehicle in urban logistics applications. The operation of electrically powered vehicles in hilly terrains with relatively longer gradients and steeper slopes increases electricity consumption and, thereby, reduces their range.

The vehicle will generate an amount of current while the electric vehicle just starting to regeneratively brake. In order to avoid the impact of high current on the traction battery, a novel electrohydraulic hybrid electric vehicle has been proposed. The main power source is supplied by the electric drive system, and the hydraulic system performs the auxiliary drive system that fully exerts the advantages of the electric drive system and the hydraulic drive system. A proper regenerative braking control strategy is presented, and the control parameters are determined by the fuzzy optimization algorithm. The simulation analysis built the model through the united simulation of AMESim and MATLAB/Simulink. The results illustrated that the optimized control strategy can reduce battery consumption by 1.22% under NEDC-operating conditions.

Abstract The relevance of the work is due to the constantly growing requirements for the ride comfort of automobiles. The purpose of the study is a rational choice and combination of principles for constructing an algorithm for controlling an electric machine, replacing a hydraulic damper in the design of a vehicle’s suspension system. The study of the behavior of suspension, depending on the applied control algorithms, was carried out by the method of mathematical modeling. In this work, the control of the suspension of one wheel was considered. The angular and longitudinal oscillations of the body were not the subject of this study. In this regard, the applied design scheme is two-mass. The positive and negative aspects of various principles for calculating the target force generated by an electric machine are considered, and an algorithm for calculating the magnetic flux and armature current of an electric machine necessary for the implementation of the target force under various conditions is developed. It is shown that the calculation of the target force should be based on a combination of several principles, since this allows significant expanding of the suspension operating conditions range.

The Impact

A significant amount of work has been conducted on thermally-assisted machining with a great deal being focused on laser-assisted machining. The body of work has shown that preheating of the workpiece (usually localized heating) makes it possible to machine certain structural ceramics with a conventional cutting tool, improves the machinability of superalloys, and improves the micro-end milling of metals. A variety of metrics have been used to ascertain the impact of thermal assistance on the machining of these materials including: specific cutting energy, tool wear rate, surface roughness, residual stress, material removal rate, material removal mechanism, cost, and surface integrity. Combined, these quantities provide a good but incomplete description of the process and efficacy of thermal assistance. This manuscript looks at the flow of energy in thermally-assisted machining in an attempt to determine how beneficial preheating is. Some efficiency metrics are suggested and used to study the data that has been collected to date. The total thermal energy deposited in the workpiece is compared to the theoretical minimum required to heat the removed material in order to determine what percentage of the deposited (i.e. absorbed) energy is actually used in assisting the cutting process. This enables a comparison between cutting processes (e.g. end milling and turning) and operating conditions to determine how efficiently the added thermal energy is being used. Compared with other machinability metrics the thermal energy efficiency is used to evaluate how beneficial preheating is to the machining processes studied. Two sets of data are studied: laser-assisted turning of silicon nitride and partially-stabilized zirconia. The specific energy for LAM of silicon nitride is compared to that for grinding of silicon nitride. It is hoped that this presentation will spark debate in the manufacturing community and provide more insight into thermally-assisted manufacturing.

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of Shariah governance and corporate governance (CG) on the risk management practices (RMPs) of local Islamic banks and foreign Islamic banks operating in Malaysia. The Shariah governance comprises the Shariah review (SR) and Shariah audit (SA) variables. The study also evaluates the level of RMPs, CG, SR, and SA between these two type of banks. With the aid of SPSS version 20, the items for RMPs, CG, SR, and SA were subjected to principal component analysis (PCA). From the PCA, one component or factor was extracted each for the CG, SR, and RMPs while another two factors were extracted for the SA. Primary data was collected using a self-administered survey questionnaire. The questionnaire covers four aspects ; CG, SR, SA, and RMPs. The data received from the 300 usable questionnaires were subjected to correlation and regression analyses as well as an independent t-test. The result of correlation analysis shows that all the four variables have large positive correlations with each other indicating a strong and significant relationship between them. From the regression analysis undertaken, CG, SR, and SA together explained 52.3 percent of the RMPs and CG emerged as the most influential variable that impacts the RMPs. The independent t-test carried out shows that there were significant differences in the CG and SA between the local and foreign Islamic banks. However, there were no significant differences between the two types of the bank in relation to SR and RMPs. The study has contributed to the body of knowledge and is beneficial to academicians, industry players, regulators, and other stakeholders.

Abstract Operating temperature is critical to the endurance life of a tire. Fundamental differences between operations of a tire on a flat surface, as experienced in normal highway use, and on a cylindrical test drum may result in a substantially higher tire temperature in the latter case. Nonetheless, cylindrical road wheels are widely used in the industry for tire endurance testing. This paper discusses the important effects of surface curvature on truck tire endurance testing and highlights the impact that curvature has on tire operating temperature. Temperature measurements made during testing on flat and curved surfaces under a range of load, pressure and speed conditions are presented. New tires and re-treaded tires of the same casing construction were evaluated to determine the effect that the tread rubber and pattern have on operating temperatures on the flat and curved test surfaces. The results of this study are used to suggest conditions on a road wheel that provide highway-equivalent operating conditions for truck tire endurance testing.
