A variety of bearing profile designs can be used to improve the performance of a rotor–bearing system in severe conditions, such as operating with a shaft misalignment. Misalignments usually occur due to a deformation of the journal, bearing wear, and installation errors. This paper investigates the effects of bearing design parameters under a 3D journal misalignment for a wide range of length-to-diameter ratios to consider short, finite-length, and long journal bearings. Furthermore, the dynamic response of the system to journal perturbation considering linear and parabolic bearing profiles is also investigated. A numerical solution is identified based on the finite difference method, and the equations of motion are derived based on a linear stability analysis in which the fourth-order Runge–Kutta method is used to obtain the journal trajectories. The results show that both profiles help to enhance the rotor–bearing system’s performance regarding the lubricant layer thickness and pressure distribution, in addition to the shaft critical speed over the entire considered range of length-to-diameter ratios. This enhancement reduces the misalignment negative effects on the system performance. The response of the rotor-bearing system to journal perturbation in the case of the parabolic profile are very close to the perfect alignment case in comparison with a linear modification.

Accurate models of power electronic converters can greatly enhance the accuracy of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulators. This can result in faster and more cost-effective design cycles in industrial applications. This paper presents a detailed hardware model of the IGBT and power diode at the device level suggested for emulating power electronic converters on a field programmable gate array (FPGA). The static visualization of the IGBT component involves an arrangement of equivalent models for both the MOSFET and bipolar transistor in a cascading configuration. The dynamic aspect is represented by inter-electrode nonlinear capacitances. In an effort to expedite the development process while still producing reliable results, the algorithm for the simulation system was built utilizing FPGA-based rapid prototyping via the HDL Coder in MATLAB software (R2019b). Essentially, the HDL Coder transforms the Simulink blocks of these devices within MATLAB into a hardware description language (HDL) suitable for implementation on an FPGA. To evaluate the suggested IGBT hardware model and the nonlinear circuit simulation technique, a chopper circuit is replicated, and an FPGA-in-the-loop simulation is carried out to compare the efficacy and accuracy of the model with both offline simulation results and real-time simulation results using MATLAB Simulink software and the Altera FPGA Cyclone IV GX development board.
准确的电力电子变换器模型可以大大提高半实物仿真器的精度。这可以在工业应用中实现更快、更经济的设计周期。本文提出了在现场可编程门阵列(FPGA)上模拟电力电子变换器的器件级IGBT和功率二极管的详细硬件模型。IGBT元件的静态可视化包括在级联配置中对MOSFET和双极晶体管的等效模型进行排列。动态方面用电极间非线性电容表示。为了加快开发过程，同时仍然产生可靠的结果，仿真系统的算法是利用基于fpga的快速原型设计，通过MATLAB软件中的HDL编码器(R2019b)构建的。从本质上讲，HDL编码器将这些设备的Simulink块在MATLAB中转换为适合在FPGA上实现的硬件描述语言(HDL)。为了评估所提出的IGBT硬件模型和非线性电路仿真技术，复制了一个斩波电路，并利用MATLAB Simulink软件和Altera FPGA Cyclone IV GX开发板进行了FPGA在环仿真，比较了模型的有效性和准确性，以及离线仿真结果和实时仿真结果。

Because of its numerous advantages, 3D printing is widely employed for a variety of purposes. The mechanical characteristics of 3D-printed items are quite important. 3D-printed polylactic acid (PLA) is a common thermoplastic polymer due to its excellent characteristics and affordable cost. Because of its enhanced characteristics, polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) has recently received a lot of attention. Despite PETG’s potential appeal in the 3D-printing field, little research has been conducted to explore its qualities, such as the impacts of raster angle on elasticity, which could lead to the development of more accurate guidelines for inspection and assessment. In this regard, this study examines the mechanical characteristics of polylactic acid (PLA) and polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) 3D-printing specimens with different raster angles. Test specimens with raster angles of 15° and 30° were printed, and the stress–strain responses were recorded and compared with the simulated profiles generated using ANSYS software. The results showed that the raster angle significantly affected the mechanical properties of both types of materials. The simulated profile matched well with the experimental profile only in the case of PLA printed with a raster angle of 15°. These findings imply that extra effort should be made to ensure that the raster angle is tailored to yield the optimal mechanical properties of 3D-printed products.

This paper designs two DC-DC converter configurations integrated with solar PV renewable energy resource. Its focuses on comparing two converter topologies: the conventional boost converter and the switched capacitor boost converter. The Perturb and Observe (P&O), Incremental Conductance (INC), Genetic Algorithm (GA), and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithms are employed to dynamically enhance the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) performance for both converters. The simulation results demonstrate that both converter topologies, when integrated with appropriate MPPT algorithms, can effectively harvest maximum power from the solar PV. However, the switched capacitor topology converter exhibits advantages in terms of current capabilities and voltage performance. In addition, combing the switched capacitor boost converter with the GA-MPPT algorithm improved the output voltage profile. The switched capacitor topology demonstrates distinct advantages by exhibiting enhanced current control, enabling improved handling of dynamic load changes and varying irradiance conditions. It shows voltage regulation, resulting in reduced output voltage fluctuations and enhanced stability, thereby optimizing energy extraction. The GA-MPPT simulation demonstrates a substantial increase in maximized output current for the switched capacitor boost configuration (70 A) when compared to the conventional type (10 A). The validation and implementation of the system models are carried out using MATLAB/Simulink.

The present paper investigates the mechanical behavior of a biomimetic Voronoi structure, inspired by the microstructure of the shell of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus, with its characteristic topological attributes constituting the technical evaluation stage of a novel biomimetic design strategy. A parametric design algorithm was used as a basis to generate design permutations with gradually increasing rod thickness, node count, and model smoothness, geometric parameters that define a Voronoi structure and increase its relative density as they are enhanced. Physical PLA specimens were manufactured with a fused filament fabrication (FFF) printer and subjected to quasi-static loading. Finite element analysis (FEA) was conducted in order to verify the experimental results. A minor discrepancy between the relative density of the designed and printed models was calculated. The tests revealed that the compressive behavior of the structure consists of an elastic region followed by a smooth plateau region and, finally, by the densification zone. The yield strength, compressive modulus, and plateau stress of the structure are improved as the specific geometric parameters are enhanced. The same trend is observed in the energy absorption capabilities of the structure while a reverse one characterizes the densification strain of the specimens. A second-degree polynomial relation is also identified between the modulus, plateau stress, and energy capacity when plotted against the relative density of the specimens. Distinct Voronoi morphologies can be acquired with similar mechanical characteristics, depending on the design requirements and application. Potential applications include lightweight structural materials and protective gear and accessories.

The importance of sustainable design for achieving sustainable development goals (SDG) has become increasingly prevalent. Agility for sustainable design development is a project management approach that aims to provide a flexible and efficient way of developing new products. However, the application of agility for sustainable design development is not well-defined, with unknown processes and benefits. To address this, this study aims to explore the benefits of theoretical research and the application of agility in sustainable design. The study critically examines the application of agility in sustainable design development through a literature review. The results identify eight integration directions of agility that contribute to sustainable design, providing a better understanding of agility and enabling its implementation in the development of new products. This study seeks to create a more coherent and rigorous system of theory and practice for sustainable design.

This paper presents an approach to implem enting centralized multirobot simultaneous localization and mapping (MR-SLAM) in an unknown environment based on LiDAR sensors. The suggested implementation addresses two main challenges faced in MR-SLAM, particularly in real-time applications: computing complexity (solving the problem with minimum time and resources) and map merging (finding the alignment between the maps and merging maps by integrating information from the aligned maps into one map). The proposed approach integrates Fast LiDAR and Odometry Mapping (FLOAM), which reduces the computational complexity of localization and mapping for individual robots by adopting a non-iterative two-stage distortion compensation method. This, in turn, accelerates inputs for the map merging algorithm and expedites the creation of a comprehensive map. The map merging algorithm utilizes feature matching techniques, Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), and the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm to estimate the transformation between the maps. Subsequently, the algorithm employs a map-merging graph to estimate the global transformation. Our system has been designed to utilize two robots and has been evaluated on datasets and in a simulated environment using ROS and Gazebo. The system required less computing time to build the global map and achieved good estimation accuracy.

The effect of printing parameters (nozzle diameter, layer height, nozzle temperature, and printing speed), dimensions (wall thickness), and filament material on the crashworthiness performance of 3D-printed thin-walled multi-cell structures (TWMCS) undergoing quasi-static compression is presented. The ideal combination of parameters was determined by employing the Signal-to-Noise ratio (S/N), while Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was utilized to identify the significant parameters and assess their impact on crashworthiness performance. The findings indicated that the ideal parameters for the specific energy absorption (SEA) consisted of a nozzle diameter of 0.6 mm, layer height of 0.3 mm, nozzle temperature of 220 °C, printing speed of 90 mm/s, wall thickness of 1.6 mm, and PLA(+) filament material. Afterward, the optimal parameters for crushing force efficiency (CFE) included a nozzle diameter of 0.8 mm, layer height of 0.3 mm, nozzle temperature of 230 °C, print speed of 90 mm/s, wall thickness of 1.6 mm, and PLA(ST) filament material. The optimum parameter to minimize manufacturing time is 0.3 mm for layer height and 90 mm/s for printing speed. This research presents novel opportunities for optimizing lightweight structures with enhanced energy absorption capacities. These advancements hold the potential to elevate passenger safety and fortify transportation systems. By elucidating the fundamental factors governing the crashworthiness of thin-walled multi-cell PLA 3D-printed tubes, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the field.

Microelectromechanical system (MEMS) vibrating gyroscope design considerations are always intriguing due to their microscale mechanical, electrical, and material behavior. MEMS vibrating ring gyroscopes have become important inertial sensors in inertial measurement units (IMU) for navigation and sensing applications. The design of a MEMS vibrating ring gyroscope incorporates an oscillating ring structure as a proof mass, reflecting unique design challenges and possibilities. This paper presents a comprehensive design analysis of the MEMS vibrating ring gyroscope from the mechanical, electrical, and damping perspectives. The mechanical design of the MEMS vibrating ring gyroscope investigates the various frame designs of the vibrating ring structure, as well as the various beam structures, including rectangular and semicircular beam structures, which are analyzed using mathematical models and finite element analysis (FEA) simulations that provide an in-depth analysis of the stiffness and deflection of the vibrating structures. The electrical designs of the MEMS vibrating ring gyroscope are analyzed using various electrode configurations, electrostatic actuation, and capacitive detection mechanisms. The design analysis of various forms of damping, including viscous, structural, thermoelastic, and anchor damping, is discussed. The variety of design structures is investigated for MEMS vibrating ring gyroscopes’ mechanical, electrical, and damping performance.
