Optimal systemic combined design and control of an automated wind energy conversion system

In this paper, is presented a design and control toll of electromechanical braking system dedicated to wind energy conversion chain. The braking system makes it possible to apply pressure strength at the level of the rotating shaft near to the propeller of the wind turbine. This pressure force is transformed into a dry friction force via the mechanical part of the braking system consisting of a piece of brake lining and steel of the rotating shaft of the propeller. A program of dimensioning by the analytical method of a permanent magnet linear motor structure is developed. The interactions between this program and the braking system control algorithm are taken into account. The integration of the global model under the Matlab-Simulink simulation environment allows full validation of the presented study.

Design, modeling, and simulation of dual-source redundant braking system

Based on the existing theory of EHB braking system, a new dual-source redundant braking system (DSRB) is proposed in this paper. The proposed DSRB is improved on the classic ESP system structure with two sets of motor hydraulic pumps, four throttle valves and two balance valves used to replace the failed oil inlet and outlet valves added in it. Then, the requirements of redundancy, reliability of intelligent vehicle braking system can be met by the system. The wheel cylinder pressure of DSRB system is accurately regulated by PID control algorithm. Finally, the co-simulation based on AMEsim/Simulink were implemented to verify the accuracy and reliability of the braking efficiency of the DSRB. Results show that the designed DSRB has fault tolerance even in the case of partial failure, that is, inlet and outlet valve failure and complete failure, that is, inlet and outlet valve and hydraulic motor failure at the same time. And good braking efficiency, boosting speed and pressure regulation accuracy are still available.

DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF BRAKING SYSTEM OF AN ALL-TERRAIN VEHICLE

The Study titled “Design and Development of Braking System of an All-Terrain Vehicle” is to find out the most efficient braking system for an all-terrain vehicle. For this, various parameters are considered. In the modern-day automobiles are an essential part of day-today life, the requirements of each person are different. Some demands for a high-performance machine while others require a comfortable ride. Today’s engineering helps in achieving all the aspects of a safe, reliable and fast vehicle. With the change in time, the need for an allterrain vehicle (ATV) has gradually increased. This research paper includes the parameters for the efficient disc, calipers, and master cylinder position for effective braking. The research focused on disc, master cylinder position. The designs provide the durability which is the primary requirement for an all-terrain vehicle. The allterrain conditions require effective braking and all wheels locking at the instant time. This research paper also includes the optimization of braking system for minimum stopping distance and locking all four tires simultaneously. The SolidWorks struct-static analysis and simulation was carried out to obtain a better braking system which can provide the best-in-class arrangements for the customer.

Оцінка впливу стабільності характеристик гальмівних механізмів на процес гальмування транспортних засобів

The purpose of the article is to evaluate the influence of the stability of the characteristics of brake mechanisms on the process of braking of passenger vehicles. In the article, using the example of a mixed braking system of a passenger vehicle of segment C, an assessment was made of the influence of the stability of the characteristics of its braking mechanisms on the braking process. The results obtained allow us to conclude that with "cold" and "cooled" brake mechanisms of the vehicle, the values of the mathematical expectation of the friction coefficient and the dispersion of its values are approximately the same. The performed calculation shows that when the friction coefficient changes by 8-20%, the braking torque changes by 20-30%. In this case, the difference between the largest and smallest braking torque can be 50%. Given that the left and right brake mechanisms (due to various reasons) may have different coefficients of friction of the friction surfaces, then the unevenness of the braking forces on the rear axle of the vehicle under consideration can be up to 50%. In order to prevent advanced blocking of the rear wheels during vehicle braking in the event that the actual coefficient of distribution of braking forces between the axles deviates from the calculated value due to the instability of the brake mechanisms, it is necessary to ensure the fulfillment of the condition according to the dependence given in the work. The results obtained can be used in the design of braking systems and the assessment of the braking properties of vehicles, as well as in the examination of road accidents.The instability of the braking torques on the wheels does not have a significant effect on the reduction of the total braking force (braking efficiency) in the presence of amplifiers in the drive, but it significantly affects the stability of the vehicle during braking, since it causes a significant change in the coefficient of distribution of braking forces between the axles and the appearance of their onboard unevenness. The statistical analysis of the coefficients of friction of friction pairs (on the example of a passenger vehicle of segment C) showed their wide spread, which significantly affects the onboard and axial unevenness of the braking forces; for example, for friction linings DTM, the average difference between the friction coefficients on the left and right wheels is 0.17, and the standard deviation is ± 0.08. The difference in the coefficients of friction of friction pairs of different types of brake mechanisms, due to the use of friction linings from different manufacturers, can lead to a change in the coefficient of distribution of brake forces over a wide range.

Calculation of the Optimal Braking Force Distribution in Three-Axle Trailers with Tandem Suspension

Abstract Heavy agricultural trailers can be equipped with a three-axle chassis with a tandem axle set at the rear and one mounted on a turntable at the front. In such trailers, selection of the distribution of braking forces that meet the requirements of the EU Directive 2015/68, with regard to braking, largely depends on the type of tandem suspension used. The requirements for brake force distribution in agricultural trailers of categories R3 and R4 are described. On this basis, a methodology for calculating the optimal linear distribution of braking forces, characteristic of agricultural trailers with air braking systems, was developed. An analysis of the forces acting on a 24-tonne three-axle trailer during braking was performed for five different suspensions of the rear tandem axle. An optimization algorithm using the quasi Monte Carlo method was described, on the basis of which a computer program for selection of the linear distribution of braking forces was developed. The calculations were made for an empty and loaded trailer with and without the weight of the tandem suspension. The most uniform distribution of braking forces was obtained for two leaf spring with dynamic equalization and air suspension, in which the ratio of the braking force of the tandem axle and the total braking force varied between 22.9% and 25.5% for the different calculation variants. A large variation in the braking force distribution was achieved for the two leaf spring suspension, in which the ratio of tandem axle braking force and the total braking force ranged from 2.7% to 6.4% for the leading axle and from 27.8% to 36.2% for the trailing axle. The presented calculation methodology can be used in the initial phase of the design of air braking systems for three-axle agricultural trailers.

Continuous regulation of wind energy power system permitting protection of the system components against wind over-speed

In this paper is presented a methodology of design and control of an electromagnet braking system dedicated to the protection of the wind energy production systems against the strong rise of the current in the power chain attached to the strong elevation of the wind speed. This methodology focuses on the dimensioning of the electromagnet acting as a mechanical brake and its integration into the wind energy generation system. The electromagnet is designed jointly by the analytical method offering the advantages of compatibility with large-scale optimization approaches and the finite element method for verifying and increasing the accuracy of the analytical model. This study essentially involves the design and modeling phase of the electromagnet dissociated from the wind turbine and then by the phase of its integration with the wind turbine. The global model associating the electromagnet and the wind turbine controlled with a view to ensuring a continuous recharging of energy accumulator at a constant current equal to the nominal current of which the wind turbine is sized, is implanted under the Matlab-Simulink simulation environment. The results of simulations are encouraging and open the research trail to optimization work of the entire chain.

Numerical optimization‐based extremum seeking control of a class of constrained nonlinear systems via finite‐time state transition

AbstractThis article studies the extremum seeking control (ESC) problem for a class of constrained nonlinear systems. Specifically, we focus on a family of constraints that allows to reformulate the original nonlinear system in the so‐called input–output normal form. To steer the system to optimize a performance function without knowing its explicit form, we propose a novel numerical optimization‐based extremum seeking control (NOESC) design consisting of a constrained numerical optimization method and an inversion‐based feedforward controller. In particular, a projected gradient descent algorithm is exploited to produce the state sequence to optimize the performance function, whereas a suitable boundary value problem accommodates the finite‐time state transition between each two consecutive points of the state sequence. Compared to available NOESC methods, the proposed approach (i) can explicitly deal with output constraints; (ii) can consider a direct dependence on the states of the internal dynamics in the performance function; (iii) the internal dynamics do not have to be necessarily stable. The effectiveness of the proposed ESC scheme is shown through extensive numerical simulations and design of antilock braking systems.

Finally, the correctness and function of the Electro-Hydraulic Brake System are verified by the test on the inertial platform. The results show that the system can achieve the expected anti-skid braking function, and can provide support for subsequent engineering.

Design and Implementation of an Electromechanical Brake System

Nowadays, hydraulic brakes are already being replaced by electromechanical brakes (EMB) to improve quick-response brakes, efficient fuel consumption, environmentally sound, simple maintenance, and enhanced safety design. It is suggested that the electromechanical brake will be one of the most important brake systems in the future. This study focuses on designing and implementing an electromechanical brake based on a brushless DC (BLDC) motor and position controller to generate and control the required braking force at a variable friction coefficient between disc and pad. A feedback controller equipped with a measuring sensor is usually utilized to control this type of brake. Thus, three controllers for current, speed, and position were implemented in successive loops to control the motor movement. This system has current, speed, and force sensors. Due to implementation difficulties and cost issues of braking, the clamping sensor should be replaced with a position sensor with some modification where a position controller has been designed and implemented. The results showed that the clamping force of the brake system can follow the target accurately and it has good performance. Also, it is shown that this system can adjust the brake force more accurately and quickly compared with the traditional.

Modelling of elastoplastic, multi-scale and multi-contact problems: application to worm gears

A nonconventional application of worm gears exploits the irreversibility of these power transmission devices in order to realize fast emergency braking. This application can be used to secure lifting devices. A limiting factor in the design of these instantaneous braking systems is the residual deformations of the worm/wheel contacting teeth, due to the impact between them at each emergency stop. The prediction of these residual displacements requires solving of an elastic–plastic, multi-scale and multi-contact problem. Original numerical tools were developed in this study to solve the problem at global and local scales. The method has been validated by comparing the obtained results with 3D measurements on new and deformed worm/wheel pairs. In order to predict the issue of the worm gear after an impact, a criterion based on kinematic errors is proposed. Applying this criterion gives the maximal admissible torque for the braking system to be operational after the impact.

Thermomechanical Behavior of Brake Drums Under Extreme Braking Conditions

Braking efficiency is characterized by reduced braking time and distance, and therefore passenger safety depends on the design of the braking system. During the braking of a vehicle, the braking system must dissipate the kinetic energy by transforming it into heat energy. A too high temperature can lead to an almost total loss of braking efficiency. An excessive rise in brake temperature can also cause surface cracks extending to the outside edge of the drum friction surface. Heat transfer and temperature gradient, not to forget the vehicle's travel environment (high speed, heavy load, and steeply sloping road conditions), must thus be the essential criteria for any brake system design. The aim of the present investigation is to analyze the thermal behavior of different brake drum designs during the single emergency braking of a heavy-duty vehicle on a steeply sloping road. The calculation of the temperature field is performed in transient mode using a three-dimensional finite element model assuming a constant coefficient of friction. In this study, the influence of geometrical brake drum configurations on the thermal behavior of brake drums with two different materials in grey cast iron FG200 and aluminum alloy 356.0 reinforced with silicon carbide (SiC) particles is analyzed under extreme vehicle braking conditions. The numerical simulation results obtained using FE software ANSYS are qualitatively compared with the results already published in the literature.

Self Tuning PID Control of Antilock Braking System using Electronic Wedge Brake

This paper describes the design of an antilock braking system (ABS) control for a passenger vehicle that employs an electronic wedge brake (EWB). The system is based on a two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) vehicle dynamic traction model, with the EWB acting as the brake actuator. The developed control structure, known as the Self-Tuning PID controller, is made up of a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller that serves as the main feedback loop control and a fuzzy supervisory system that serves as a tuner for the PID controller gains. This control structure is generated through two structures, namely FPID and SFPID, where the difference between these two structures is based on the fuzzy input used. An ABS-based PID controller and a fuzzy fractional PID controller developed in previous works were used as the benchmark, as well as the testing method, to evaluate the effectiveness of the controller structure. According to the results of the tests, the performance of the SFPID controller is better than that of other PID and FPID controllers, being 10% and 1% faster in terms of stopping time, 8% and 1% shorter in terms of stopping distance, 9% and 1% faster in terms of settling time, and 40% and 5% more efficient in reaching the target slip, respectively.

Prediction of frictional braking noise based on brake dynamometer test and artificial intelligent algorithms

Based on brake noise dynamometer test data, combined with the artificial intelligent algorithms, frictional braking noise is quantitatively analyzed and predicted in this study. To achieve this goal, a frictional braking noise prediction method is indicatively proposed, which consists of two main parts: first, based on the experimental data obtained from the brake noise dynamometer tests, and combining with the improved Long-Short-Term Memory (LSTM) algorithm, the coefficients of friction (COFs) are predicted under various braking test conditions. Then, based on the predicted braking COFs and other selected critical braking parameters, the quantitative prediction of frictional braking noise is obtained by means of the optimized eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) algorithm. Finally, the inherent features of the XGBoost algorithm are employed to qualitatively analyze the importance of the main factors affecting the frictional braking noise. The prediction algorithms of COFs and frictional braking noise are validated by the brake dynamomter test data, and the R2 (R square) scores of both the LSTM and XGBoost prediction algorithms are 0.9, which verifies the feasibility of both algorithms. The main contribution of this work is to predict the braking noise based on a large set of test data and combined with the LSTM and XGBoost artificial intelligent algorithms, which can significantly save time for the brake system development and braking performance testing, and has significance to the rapid prediction of braking frictional noise and fast NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) optimal design of frictional braking systems.

The effect of interface modifications combination of multiple friction blocks on truck brake squeal

In order to study the effect of interface modifications combination of multiple friction blocks on truck brake squeal, a field test is carried out in this study. In the test, the vibration acceleration and the noise signals of the truck braking system are collected. The test results show that the high frequency squeal noise during braking is resulted from the frictional vibration of the braking system. A simplified finite element model of the heavy truck braking system is stablished to investigate the effect of slotting and chamfering of friction block on brake squeal. The results of complex eigenvalue analysis indicate that the interface modifications have a great influence on truck brake squeal. A proper combination of slotting and chamfering of friction blocks is useful for the reduction of brake squeal tendency. This study can provide guidance for the design and optimization of silent braking system.

Extended Nonlinear Two-Time Scale Estimation Approach for Antilock Braking Systems

This article is motivated by an interesting recent result on antilock braking system (ABS) design using two-time scale (TTS)-based estimation. In this article, the basic method of TTS is extended to estimate not only the disturbances but also their derivatives, improving the accuracy of estimation by an order of magnitude. Further, the problem of ABS is extended to an eight-DOF vehicle model to include the effects of load transfer, steering dynamics, and actuator dynamics. Since analysis showed that the use of basic TTS to ABS design results in a poor transient in the estimation error dynamics, this article proposes a new formulation of the TTS method specifically for ABS. Two new ABS-specific sliding surfaces are proposed to compensate the actuator dynamics where the second sliding surface is proposed as an improvement over the first one. The stability, and convergence of estimation, and tracking errors are analyzed. The proposed methods are validated on MATLAB/Simulink, and CarSim platforms for a D-class sedan car. The results are also validated on an experimental ABS platform in the laboratory.

Energy-Optimal Braking Control Using a Double-Layer Scheme for Trajectory Planning and Tracking of Connected Electric Vehicles

Most researches focus on the regenerative braking system design in vehicle components control and braking torque distribution, few combine the connected vehicle technologies into braking velocity planning. If the braking intention is accessed by the vehicle-to-everything communication, the electric vehicles (EVs) could plan the braking velocity for recovering more vehicle kinetic energy. Therefore, this paper presents an energy-optimal braking strategy (EOBS) to improve the energy efficiency of EVs with the consideration of shared braking intention. First, a double-layer control scheme is formulated. In the upper-layer, an energy-optimal braking problem with accessed braking intention is formulated and solved by the distance-based dynamic programming algorithm, which could derive the energy-optimal braking trajectory. In the lower-layer, the nonlinear time-varying vehicle longitudinal dynamics is transformed to the linear time-varying system, then an efficient model predictive controller is designed and solved by quadratic programming algorithm to track the original energy-optimal braking trajectory while ensuring braking comfort and safety. Several simulations are conducted by jointing MATLAB and CarSim, the results demonstrated the proposed EOBS achieves prominent regeneration energy improvement than the regular constant deceleration braking strategy. Finally, the energy-optimal braking mechanism of EVs is investigated based on the analysis of braking deceleration, battery charging power, and motor efficiency, which could be a guide to real-time control.
