From a theoretical model to a predictive simulation model of operator interaction with support systems: designing experiments to build the numerical simulation

In this paper, we will discuss a methodology developed and applied in the European ITERATE project with the objective of designing experiments that will provide data to seed the numerical model of operator behaviour in different surface transport modes: road vehicles, rail transport and ships. The experiments aim to investigate how new technologies support different types of operators in different contexts. A structured approach was adopted. Firstly, an initial selection of the systems to be investigated was made, describing the support they provide for operators. Hypotheses were formulated on the effects of operator parameters on the interaction with the systems. A final selection of systems for the experiments was made, focusing on systems providing support for collision avoidance and speed management. The operator parameters (culture, attitude and personality, experience, driver state (such as fatigue) and the demands of the task) were operationalised and piloted. The next step was the development of scenarios to be implemented in a driving simulator. In the last step, the final experiments were designed and detailed.

Spherical Aluminum Nitride Fillers for Heat-Conducting Plastic Packages

It is necessary for encapsulants to have not only a suitable coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) compatible to IC devices and a low dielectric constant to reduce the device propagation delay, but also a high thermal conductivity to dissipate large amounts of heat from power-hungry, high-speed IC and high-density packages. Fillers such as silica have been mixed with polymers to improve their properties. Aluminum nitride (AlN) is considered as an alternative one, because it has a higher theoretical thermal conductivity of ∼320 W/mK¹, a compatible CTE with silicon chips and a low dielectric constant. Commercial AlN fillers are angular in shape, because they are prepared via grinding coarse AlN powders synthesized by direct nitridation of aluminum metal and classification. The angular AlN are not expected to have high fluidity when mixed with polymers and hence low packing density. Recently, we successfully obtained single-crystalline spherical AlN fillers. Furthermore, polymer composites filled with the spherical AlN showed excellent thermal conductivity (>8 W/mK) as encapsulants for dissipating the heat generated in electronic devices.

Factors influencing magnetic polymer microspheres prepared by dispersion polymerization

Magnetic iron oxide (Fe₃O₄) was prepared by a coprecipitation method. Core–shell composite magnetic polymer microspheres with carboxyl groups were synthesized by the dispersion polymerization of styrene and acrylic acid in the presence of magnetic oxide, and dibenzoyl peroxide was used as an initiator. The synthesized magnetic polymer microspheres were characterized with X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and so forth. The results indicated that the product was single‐phase Fe₃O₄, and its average size was about 10 nm. The configuration of the microspheres, which contained carboxyl groups, was spherical, and the average size was about 2 μm. The results of vibrating sample magnetometry tests showed that the magnetic powders produced by different surfactants had different saturation magnetizations. When poly(ethylene glycol) with a weight‐average molecular weight of 4000 was used as a surfactant, the saturation magnetization of the samples reached 69.2 emu/g. The factors that affected the shape, magnetism, size, and distribution of the microspheres were also studied. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 2007

Virtual Model Reduction-based Control Strategy of Planar Three-link Underactuated Manipulator with Middle Passive Joint

This paper presents a position control strategy for a planar active-passive-active (APA) underactuated manipulator with second-order nonholonomic characteristics. According to the structural characteristics of the planar APA system, we divide the system into two parts: a planar virtual Pendubot (PVP) and a planar virtual Acrobot (PVA). For the PVP, we mainly fulfill the target angle of the first link, which is calculated through the geometry method, and make the system stable. In this stage, via keeping the states of the third link being zero, the system is reduced to the PVP. Meanwhile, we design an open-loop control law based on the nilpotent approximation (NA) model of the PVP to make the second link stable and the first link stabilize at its target angle. Then, the planar APA system is reduced to a PVA with all links’ angular velocities being zero. For the PVA, we mainly realize the other two links’ target angles obtained via the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. Thus, the control objective of the planar APA system is achieved. Finally, above control strategy is verified by simulation results.

     

Chaos-PSO-based Motion Planning and Accurate Tracking for Position-posture Control of a Planar Underactuated Manipulator with Disturbance

Unlike a fully-actuated manipulator, the position-posture control of a planar underactuated manipulator (PUM) is more difficult, but the research on it is significant due to the wide practical applications. The existing control methods consider no external disturbance and are involved in the staged control idea, bringing the problems of nonsmooth control torque and time-consuming. A novel one-stage control approach is proposed in this paper for the position-posture control of a three-link PUM with the first free joint under the external disturbance. By analyzing the coupling relationship between its active joints and free joint, the position-posture control is transformed into the trajectory tracking control. Unlike the general trajectory planning, the trajectories of the active joints are planned to include several parameters. Meanwhile, the parameters are solved using a chaos particle swarm optimization algorithm to guarantee that all joint angles can reach to their desired angles. Then, to obtain the high trajectory tracking accuracy at every moment under the external disturbance, the nonlinear disturbance observer is constructed and a nonlinear fast terminal sliding mode tracking controller is designed. Finally, the feasibility and superiority of this strategy are verified via two simulations.
