A new insight on the diffusion growth mechanism of intermetallic compounds in Al-Er system

The diffusion growth of intermetallic compounds in Al-Er alloys are closely related to the properties of the alloys. The current work aims at explaining the dominance of Al3Er in the Al-Er alloys precipitation phases and the interface thin ...

Graph Theory-Based Approach to Accomplish Complete Coverage Path Planning Tasks for Reconfigurable Robots

Extensive studies regarding complete coverage problems have been conducted, but a few tackle scenarios where the mobile robot is equipped with reconfigurable modules. The reconfigurability of these robots creates opportunities to develop ne...

Research on an Electromagnetic Actuator for Vibration Suppression and Energy Regeneration

This paper proposes an electromagnetic actuator that concurrently realizes two working functions of vibration suppression and energy regeneration. The actuator consists of four permanent magnetic rings, three soft iron rings, three coils, a...

A Novel Dual-Domain Filtering Method to Improve GNSS Performance Based on a Dynamic Model Constructed by TDCP

To overcome the strikes from the tremendous noise of pseudorange and the integer ambiguity of carrier phase observation, we developed a novel dual-domain filtering method that integrates the traditional observation- and an innovative positi...

Reducing Torque Ripple Through Innovative Configuration of Permanent Magnet Based on Air Gap Field Modulation Theory in a Novel Axial Flux Reversal Permanent Magnet Machine

In this paper, a novel axial flux reversal permanent magnet (PM) (AFRPM) machine, which combines the merit of the axial flux PM (AFPM) machine and flux reversal PM machine, is proposed. Meanwhile, according to the characteristics of the mac...

Delay-Dependent H∞ Control for Singular Markovian Jump Systems With Generally Uncertain Transition Rates

This article is devoted to the problem of H control for a class of singular Markovian jump systems with time-varying delay and generally uncertain transition rates, which means each transition rate is completely unknown or only its estimate...

Improving die tooling properties by spraying TiC-Ti-Al and TiB2-Ti-Al electro-explosive coatings

This article describes increasing wear resistance of 5CrNiMo die steel by more than 5 times. This effect is achieved by creating TiC-Ti-Al and TiB _2 -Ti-Al coatings on the surface of 5CrNiMo die steel. The microhardness of the formed coati...

Optimal planning of integrated energy system considering swapping station and carbon capture power system

An optimal planning method for an integrated energy system (IES) considering electric vehicles (EVs) swapping station (SS) and carbon capture power system (CCPS) is studied in this paper. Firstly, based on the analysis of swapping EV load, ...
