The Difference ◽  
Manipulation Process

Googling the term “Business Process Simulation” in April 2013 yielded only 42.1 thousand hits. It is not much compared with googling the term such as “Business Process Modelling” in the same time, which yielded approx. 1.470 million hits. That is 35 times more compared to the previous search. The difference between modelling and simulation is arguable. In fact, the terms ‘simulation’ and ‘modelling’ are often used synonymously, but the authors prefer to distinguish between the terms and look at modelling as an act of building a model while simulation is considered an act or even a process of using that model for a specific purpose or study. If simulation is a manipulation process of one or more variables, which can be changed and observed, then this kind of process is best managed and controlled by business rules that can also be manipulated in the simulation process. „Google“ paieškoje įvestas terminas „Business Process Simulation“ 2013 metų balandžio mėn. duoda tik 42,1 tūkst. paieškos rezultatų. Tai nėra daug, palyginti su kitu paieškos terminu „Business Process Modelling“. Tuo pačiu metu reikšminiai paieškos žodžiai duoda apie 1,470 milijono paieškos rezultatų. Tai 35 kartus daugiau, palyginti su prieš tai daryta paieška. Galima ginčytis, ar yra skirtumas tarp modeliavimo ir simuliavimo? Iš tiesų žodžiai „modeliavimas“ ir „simuliavimas“ dažnai vartojami kaip sinonimai, tačiau straipsnyje siūloma į modeliavimą ir simuliavimą žiūrėti skirtingai, t. y. į modeliavimą kaip į veiksmą, kuris sukuria modelį, į simuliavimą – kaip į veiksmą arba procesą, kuris sudaro sąlygas taikyti šį modelį konkrečiam tikslui arba tyrimui atlikti. Jeigu apibrėžiama, kad simuliavimas yra vieno ar daugiau kintamųjų manipuliacijos procesas, kurį galima pakeisti ir stebėti, tada taip pat galima susitarti, kad šis procesas geriausiai grindžiamas verslo taisyklėmis, kurios gali būti papildomos arba keičiamos simuliavimo proceso metu.

Adaptive Feedforward

Active engine mounts significantly contribute to ensure the comfort in vehicles with emission-reducing engine technologies, e.g., cylinder-on-demand (COD), downsizing or turbochargers. To control active engine mounts, either adaptive or non-adaptive feedforward control is commonly employed. Since both approaches have previously been treated separately, this study proposes methods to connect them in terms of multiple-input-multiple-output Newton/FxLMS adaptive filters with self-trained, grid-based look-up tables. The look-up tables are incorporated as parameter-maps or parallel-maps, respectively. By combining the two feedforward control strategies, their inherent advantages, i.e., the adaptivity of adaptive filtering and the direct impact as well as the tracking behavior of map-based feedforward control, are utilized. The proposed control structures are illustrated by simulation and experimentally demonstrated in a vehicle with a V8-COD engine. While both methods significantly reduce the convergence time of the adaptive filter, the parallel implementation additionally improves the tracking behavior during fast engine run-ups.

Abstract Car manufacturers have been motivated to apply semi-active engine mounts to ensure superior performance in vibration attenuation during idle condition and better ability to isolate vibration which is generated by engine unbalanced force at high frequencies. This paper develops a non-linear lumped parameter model of semi-active engine mounts with air spring that focuses on the non-linearity of the rubber diaphragm and the air chamber. Then, the main rubber dynamic stiffness parameters are identified through experimental approaches with a novel-designed test rig. Other parameters including effective pumping area, main rubber spring bulge stiffness, fluid channel inertia and resistance, rubber diaphragm, and air-chamber parameters are attained through finite element analysis (FEA). Supported by the identified lumped parameters, the non-linear mathematical model could be simulated. In addition, the dynamic characteristics of the semi-active engine mount are tested through the original test rig. Therefore, comparing with the tested dynamic characteristics, the simulation result can validate the developed model and thus facilitate the structure design of the semi-active engine mount.

A bidirectional magnetostrictive actuator with millimeter stroke and a blocked force of ± 22 N has been developed based on a simple hydraulic magnification mechanism. The purpose of the actuator is to replace the electromagnetic actuator in active engine mounts. The Terfenol-D actuator has a flat free displacement response up to 200 Hz and a flat blocked force response over a frequency range of at least 10 to 500 Hz. The actuator promises to deliver a much broader frequency bandwidth than commercial electromagnetic actuators.

A hydraulically-amplified Terfenol-D actuator is developed to be used as a driver in active engine mounts. A measure of the actuator’s performance is obtained through electromechanical tests in mechanically-blocked and mechanically-free conditions. A nonlinear model for the actuator is presented. The Jiles-Atherton model is coupled with Maxwell’s equations in order to quantify the radial dependence of magnetization and associated dynamic losses. Magnetostriction, which is modeled as a single-valued function of magnetization, provides an input to the mechanical model describing the system vibrations. Friction at the elastomeric seals is modeled using the LuGre friction model for lubricated contacts. Results show that the model is able to accurately describe the dynamic behavior of the actuator up to 400 Hz. An order analysis on the data and modeled responses show that the model is capable of describing the higher harmonic content of the device with sufficient accuracy for control design.

The Voice

Engine mounts need to satisfy three design requirements: (1) firmly support engine weight, (2) isolate structure from the engine’s noise and vibration, and (3) control engine motion when large shocks or engine resonances are present. In addition to these three criteria, which are common for designing all types of engine mounts (passive, semi-active, and active), two more design requirements need to be satisfied for active engine mounts. First, they should be designed such that if there is any malfunction with the actuator, the controller, or the sensors, the active engine mount should still safely operate as a passive mount. Second, the power consumption, the size and weight of the required actuator and its controller should be kept as low as possible. The current paper aims to present an active hydraulic (or fluid) engine mount design by using an electromagnetic actuator and capacitive circuit such that it is able to act as a passive mount, semi-active mount, and an active mount. In addition, the presented design has the capability to be converted to a damper as and when needed. The multi-functional capability of the proposed engine mount design (passive, semi-active, active, and damper) distinguishes the current design from the previously designed active engine mounting systems, and this multi-functional capability is explained in the paper. The proposed design consists of a conventional passive hydraulic (fluid) mount, an electromagnetic actuator (voice coil) and a capacitive circuit. The voice coil is placed in the lower chamber of the passive hydraulic mount and it can change the volumetric stiffness of the bottom chamber actively such that the engine mount has low dynamic stiffness in a wide range of frequencies. The capacitive circuit is paralleled with the voice coil and in situations when large shock inputs are present; it adds capacitance to the electromagnetic circuit and changes the characteristics of the mount from an isolator to a damper. Since the active engine mount design of this paper involves several energy domains, bond graph modeling technique is used for mathematical modeling. MATLAB simulation results are shown for an automotive application and the performance of the proposed active engine mount design is evaluated as an isolator and as a damper. Finally, an adaptive controller, based on Filtered-X LMS algorithm, is proposed and its performance is investigated. The proposed design can eliminate transmitted force from the engine to the structure in a frequency range of 15 Hz to 125 Hz.
