Abstract

This paper presents a comparative performance examination between designing backstepping control (BSC) and synergetic control (SC) for an interconnected twin-tanks system. The controller is used to maintain the liquid level in the tank at the desired value by manipulating the input flow rate. The nonlinear dynamics of the twin-tanks system is established first. Then, based on the nonlinear dynamics of the system, the control law of the BSC and the SC are developed. The two controllers cooperate with the grasshopper optimization algorithm (GOA) for further improvement of the control design performance by tuning the design parameters of each controller. GOA has strong searchability for optimal solution and it has been successfully used to solve several optimization problems in numerous fields. Finally, the performance and the significance of each controlled system for two case studies (normal operation and under external disturbance) are examined based on MATLAB software. The simulation data shows that the BSC gives better performance than the SC.

Abstract

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are powerful tools with vast potential, yet they face significant challenges. One of the primary issues is flight endurance, limited by current battery technology. Researchers are exploring alternative power sources, including hybrid systems and internal combustion engines, and considering docking stations for battery exchange or recharging. Beyond endurance, UAVs must address safety, efficient path planning, payload capacity balancing, and flight autonomy. The complexity increases when considering swarming behaviour, collision avoidance, and communication protocols. Despite these challenges, research continues to unlock UAVs’ potential, with path planning optimization significantly advanced by meta-heuristic algorithms like the Cuckoo Optimization Algorithm (COA). Whereas, meta-heuristic algorithms can be defined as system-level strategies that are used to seek suboptimal solutions to optimization problems. It uses heuristic approaches together with the exploration/exploitation scheme in order to effectively employ within large solution spaces. However, dynamic environments still present difficulties. UAVs have evolved beyond recreational use, becoming essential in industries like agriculture, delivery services, surveillance, and disaster relief. By resolving issues related to autonomy, battery longevity, and security, the benefits of UAV technology can be fully optimized. This systematic review emphasizes the importance of continuous innovation in UAV research to overcome these challenges.

Abstract

Data offloading, a technique that distributes data across the network, is crucial for alleviating congestion and enhancing system performance. One challenge in this process is optimizing web caching, which can be modeled as a dynamic knapsack problem in edge networks. This study introduces a Greedy-Assisted Genetic Algorithm (GA-Greedy) to tackle this challenge, accelerating convergence and improving solution quality. The greedy heuristic is integrated into the GA at two stages: during initialization to create a superior starting population, and at the end of each iteration to refine solutions generated through genetic operations. The GA-Greedy’s effectiveness was evaluated using the IRcache dataset, focusing on hit ratio—an indicator of successful cache accesses that reduces network load and speeds up data retrieval. Results show that GA-Greedy outperforms traditional GA and standalone greedy algorithms, especially with smaller cache sizes. For instance, with a 3K cache size, the half-greedy GA achieved a hit ratio of 0.55, compared to 0.2 for the pure GA and 0.1 for the greedy algorithm. Similarly, the full-greedy GA reached a hit ratio of 0.45. By enhancing convergence and guiding the search, GA-Greedy enables more efficient data distribution in edge networks, reducing latency and improving user experience.

Abstract

The increasing demand for electric vehicles (EVs) is driven by the urgent need for environmentally friendly transportation. This paper addresses the challenge of optimizing EV drivetrain efficiency by proposing a novel single-inverter electronic differential system for distributed EV drivetrains. The research focuses on reducing system cost and complexity while maintaining high performance. The methodology involves a detailed simulation using MATLAB/Simulink to validate the theoretical soundness of the proposed connection method. The results demonstrate that the proposed system achieves a minimum accuracy rate of 97.5%, marking a significant improvement over traditional dual-inverter systems. This approach not only enhances drivetrain efficiency but also contributes to more compact and cost-effective vehicle designs. Additionally, the findings underscore the potential for further refinement and exploration, suggesting that continued advancements in ED systems could lead to even greater performance gains in the future. This research lays the groundwork for future innovations in EV technology, particularly in the areas of cost reduction and system efficiency.

Abstract

Injection molding is a crucial manufacturing technology for producing complex, high-quality parts at scale, making it essential in various industries, including consumer electronics and automotive sectors. However, a lack of understanding about how injection parameters impact common defects like sink marks, short shots, and warpage often limits the widespread adoption of injection molding. This research aims to bridge this gap by providing a comprehensive digital simulation of the injection molding process within a complex mold cavity. Utilizing Moldex3D and the Finite Volume Method (FVM), this study characterizes essential material properties–viscosity, specific heat, density, and thermal conductivity–and examines the effects of gate location and part design on minimizing weld lines and warpage. The FVM involves dividing the computational domain into a finite number of small control volumes. This method is particularly well-suited for handling complex geometries and flow conditions, facilitating detailed and accurate simulations. This study employs Moldex3D, a leading simulation software in the field of injection molding, to demonstrate the use of CAE for design verification and process innovation. Moldex3D’s advanced capabilities make it an ideal tool for simulating injection molding processes, helping improve the quality of parts and contributing to the overall advancement of molding skills in the industry. The simulations revealed optimal gate locations that significantly improved filling patterns, reduced warpage by 50%, and minimized weld lines, thereby enhancing overall part quality. Key contributions of this research include the identification of critical flow characteristics, the reduction of defect-prone regions, and the enhancement of plastic component rigidity. This study provides valuable insights into optimizing injection molding processes, offering a pathway to improved efficiency and part quality in advanced manufacturing.
