Electro-hydraulic proportional control valves are widely applied for motion control in the electro-hydraulic fluid power system. Normally, a sliding spool is used in the proportional control valve to control the flow direction and flow rate passing through the valve, as a result, the meterin and meter-out orifices are mechanically connected . The sliding spool makes the system robust and easy to control, but a number of types of losses have been produced with this kind of valve. Therefore, the conventional electro-hydraulic proportional spool valve control system provides precise motion control, but cannot achieve energy saving performance

According to the traditional decision makings, the project scheduling and material ordering were regarded as separate problems. However, it should be noted that integrated planning of the above mentioned issues can improve the execution costs of projects to a significant extent. This improvement has been remarkably taken into consideration within the last years. Thus, the authors aim to provide the interested readers with a concise review on the corresponding problem literature, from the advent to the present, in order to investigate the evolution course. The review aims to bring out branches for further developments by addressing the liable gaps.

The article presents contemporary ultrasonic methods that can be applied to evaluate the quality of transmission drive components of motor vehicles. The issues of non-destructive analysis of discontinuities in manufactured drive shafts, consisting currently of thin-walled tubes, were investigated in this study. The driveshaft elements were joined by using innovative method called Magnetically Impelled Arc Butt Welding (MIAB). For many years, a major challenge for engineers working with ultrasonic techniques was joining of thin-walled components (having thickness below 3 mm). In addition of this limitation, the problem of variable geometry of the weld flash on the weld perimeter was highlighted. To reduce the impact of mentioned factors the pseudo-surface waves (also known as lateral waves) have been applied in this study. In order to select optimal parameters of the ultrasonic beam propagation and to understand the physical-acoustic phenomena, the Finite Elements Method modelling was performed. The phenomena of wave transformation on medium boundary and reflections from artificial flaw have been analyzed by numerical modelling. The results of numerical analysis were confirmed by UT experimental research. The manufactured MIAB welded joints were tested with using in-house made experiment set-up. The selected configurations with various shapes and dimensions of samples, and various process parameters have been investigated. The results confirm the usefulness of pseudo-surface ultrasonic waves in UT quality evaluation of MIAB welded elements of drive shafts of motor vehicles.

This paper mainly concentrates on pre-combustion process to increase fuel burning efficiency, decreases fuel consumption and to reduce exhaust pollutants. In the experiment comprises the use of permanent magnets (Neodymium) with different intensities (4000 and 8000 gauss) in the fuel flow line before the carburetor. Hydro carbon fuels are initially in Para state and cluster structure has more intermolecular force of attraction. So, it has fewer tendencies to interlock with oxygen molecules. By providing magnetic field these changes to Ortho state which has less intermolecular forces hence fuel particles are finely divided which results better atomization producing a more complete burn. It has been practically tested and for the purpose of comparing results necessitated to conduct the experiment with and without use of magnets. It was found that the percentages of exhaust components (CO2, HC and NO) are decreased by 30.57%, 97% and 36.08% respectively and carbon monoxide (CO) is increased by 30.57% at 8000 gauss. It means internal combustion engines getting maximum energy per specific volume as well as reduces pollutants to lowest possible level.

In order to fill the mechanism of microstructure evolution and corrosion resistance of 7055 aluminum alloy in extreme environment, the 7055 aluminum alloy Which was subjected to T6I4 heat treatment was selected as the research object. High speed machining experiments were performed at low temperature (-60°C) and high temperature (350°C). The dislocation density, grain size, TEM microstructure and corrosion resistance of the cutting layer of 7055 aluminum alloy were investigated at low temperature (-60°C) and high temperature (350°C). The experimental results show that the dislocation density at low temperature is higher than that at high temperature under the same cutting speed and feed rate, and the grain size at low temperature is higher than that at high temperature too. In the low temperature environment, the continuous of the grain boundary is enhanced with the cutting speed increases, and the precipitation phase in the crystal is reduced and the precipitation phase on the grain boundary is obviously increased. Under the high temperature environment, with the increasing cutting speed, the degree of fibrosis of the grains is weakened and the dynamic recrystallization is obviously enhanced. Microstructures show significant dynamic recrystallization after high temperature cutting. And when the feed rate is 0.05 mm, the microstructure of 7055 aluminum alloy exists part of the sub-crystal; The larger the feed amount, the finer and longer the fibrous grains of the metallographic structure of cutting layer metal of 7055 aluminum alloy. There is a lot of dislocations in the cutting layer of 7055 aluminum alloy in low temperature environment. The higher the cutting speed, the smaller the dislocation density. No dislocations were found in the microstructure of the 7055 aluminum alloy cutting layer in the high temperature environment,and, the higher the cutting speed is, the less the number of precipitated phases is, and the GP region and η ‘phase were transformed into η phase.

Quality function deployment (QFD), a key tool to convert the customer needs into product features, is generally integrated into the New Product Development (NPD) process at the design stage. Prioritizing customer needs in a QFD process leads to using the resources (time, money, and staffing) effectively by eliminating the unimportant customer needs. The overall goal of the research was to develop a textile-based optical fiber sensor for automotive seat occupancy. The findings of this paper were focused on the design of experiments in our previous publication. In this paper, a research study was conducted to better understand market demands in terms of sensor performance characteristics for automotive seat weight sensors, as a part of the QFD House of Quality (HOQ) analysis. A survey was sent to more than 20 companies operating in the field of automotive seat weight sensors, and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) via e-mail. Only five companies participated in this study due to competitive concerns and confidentiality reasons. However, the companies responded to the survey were of quality relevant to the research and could be perceived as representative of the group of experts. All 5 companies participated in the survey agreed on the first 5 most important sensor characteristics: reproducibility, accuracy, selectivity, aging, and resolution, where The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was applied to prioritize the sensor characteristics.

There is a need to use alternative fuels in Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) powered lawn care equipment used around residential, office and reserved areas. This will enable this equipment to meet Phase III emissions standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency. One method of reducing emissions from trimmers, lawn mowers, tractors and blowers is to use alcohol fuels in the next generation of ICE powered devices and also, to make it adaptable to operate on flex-fuels. These devices are not only a great source of noise pollution, they are also a major source of hydrocarbon, NOx and CO emissions in the residential neighbourhood from spring to the fall seasons, hence, the need to mandate the use of alcohol and flex fuels to lowers emissions. These changes will require a slight modification of the engine, by way of increasing the compression ratio on one hand, and modifying the fuel system: tank, fuel lines, and fuel dispensing system (carburetor) to meet flex-fuel requirements. This proposed engine modification will meet Phase 3 emissions standards as alcohol fuels possess superior combustion characteristics and lower emissions.

Electric vehicles are gaining popularity due to their low carbon footprint and ease of integration with renewable energy. They are an important element in the smart grid ecosystem. Increasing the driving range of storage driven electric vehicles is the biggest challenge facing the light weight electric vehicle industry. A literature review has been performed to identify various techniques to improve the driving range. Various methods of driving range improvement such as new storage topologies, switching techniques, motor configurations are studied. A new quantitative measure called as impact factor has been derived to see the effect of each technique on the driving range. Impact factor for different methods has been calculated. It is shown that increasing the storage capacity has the highest impact factor on the driving range.
