Abstract

Hydraulic retarders are auxiliary braking devices in heavy-duty vehicles where rotor blade structural integrity directly affects system reliability and safety. Under operational conditions, blades experience combined centrifugal and fluid pressure loading, making geometric optimization essential to prevent stress concentration and deformation failure. This study employs finite element analysis to conduct a systematic parametric investigation of rotor blade design. Four key parameters—blade number (32-36), thickness (3-5 mm), wedge angle (35°-50°), and material (structural steel, AISI 4140, aluminum bronze, CFRP)—were evaluated under identical operating conditions (2000 rpm rotational velocity, 0.5 MPa uniform pressure). Equivalent stress, deformation, strain, and safety factor were used as comparative metrics. Results demonstrate that geometric optimization significantly outperforms material addition in improving structural performance. The optimized configuration achieves substantially enhanced safety margins while maintaining deformation within elastic limits. Material comparison identifies AISI 4140 as offering the optimal balance of strength and stiffness. These findings provide quantifiable design guidance for hydraulic retarder development and establish a systematic optimization framework applicable to rotating machinery components.

Abstract

This research addresses the challenge of achieving precise rotational speed control for DC motors in electric vehicles, a critical factor for ensuring smooth operation, energy efficiency, and safety. The study integrates a Kalman Filter with a PID Controller to mitigate sensor noise and external disturbances while minimizing steady-state errors. The Kalman Filter effectively reduces noise from rotary encoder sensors, enabling accurate speed estimation with multiplier values of countPulseM1 = 20.0 and countPulseM2 = 40.9. Optimal Kalman Filter parameter ratios were identified as R = 10.0, Q = 0.0001 for motor M1 and R = 8.0, Q = 0.0001 for motor M2, which minimized noise but resulted in slower motor responses compared to lower ratio configurations. To address this limitation, the PID controller was fine-tuned, yielding optimal parameters of Kp = 1.1, Ki = 8.1, and Kd = 0.00036 for motor M1 and Kp = 0.9, Ki = 9.4, and Kd = 0.00009 for motor M2. These settings achieved a rise time of 0.13 seconds, overshoot of 8.69%, and steady-state error of -1.19%. Disturbance testing with a hall magnetic rotary encoder revealed motor M1 with a rise time of 0.27 seconds and M2 with 0.16 seconds, both showing robust responses but requiring faster recovery times for stabilization. While the combination of Kalman Filter and PID significantly enhances control accuracy, further improvements are necessary to reduce settling times and ensure greater stability under dynamic conditions. This work contributes valuable insights into advanced control techniques for electric vehicle drivetrains and robotic systems.

Abstract

Broad Learning System is a wide learning framework that constructs nonlinear feature representations while enabling efficient model training through analytical solutions. This paper presents a derivation-based formulation of Broad Learning System that explains the mathematical structure underlying the learning process. The model constructs an expanded feature representation through feature mapping nodes followed by enhancement nodes that further enrich the learned representation. The learning problem is then expressed as a linear model in the constructed feature space, and the output weights are obtained using ridge regularized least squares optimization. This formulation allows the training process to be solved directly using matrix operations without iterative gradient based procedures. In addition, an incremental learning mechanism is introduced to enable efficient parameter updates when new samples or additional nodes are incorporated into the model. The presented formulation highlights how Broad Learning System combines nonlinear feature construction with computationally efficient closed form learning, providing a clear theoretical interpretation of the learning process.

Abstract

Large Language Models (LLMs) have experienced rapid development and have been established as the dominant paradigm in modern Natural Language Processing (NLP), with high performance demonstrated across various language understanding and generation tasks. Increasing architectural complexity has led to the need for a structured conceptual framework to explain how architectural design, training paradigms, and inference mechanisms are collectively associated with model behavior. A conceptual and analytical review of LLMs is presented in this article through an examination of the relationship between Transformer-based architectures, multi-stage training processes, and the resulting capabilities and limitations. Encoder-only, decoder-only, and encoder–decoder architectural variants are examined in relation to structural characteristics and functional implications. The roles of pretraining, supervised fine-tuning, and instruction tuning are analyzed to clarify how output characteristics are shaped during model development. This study emphasizes how architectural and training strategies causally influence generative capabilities and inherent limitations. Fundamental issues, including hallucination, bias, data dependency, computational cost, and evaluation challenges, are critically examined as consequences of the probabilistic modeling paradigm adopted in LLMs. This review contributes a structured analytical perspective for evaluating LLMs design choices and their operational consequences, supporting more informed development and deployment practices.

Abstract

In the modern technological era, industries continuously seek to improve efficiency, speed, and safety in production processes, with control systems playing a vital role, especially in applications requiring high precision. One such application is air levitation systems, which enable contactless object positioning using controlled airflow. This research focuses on the design and implementation of a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control system for an air levitation tube, specifically aimed at maintaining the stable position of a ping pong ball within the tube. The system employs an ultrasonic sensor to measure the ball's position and a brushless motor, controlled via an Electronic Speed Controller (ESC), to regulate the airflow. The optimal PID parameters were determined through systematic tuning across various setpoints, yielding Kp = 1, Ki = 0.01, and Kd = 0.7, allowing the system to maintain stability and respond effectively to disturbances. The results demonstrate that the PID control system successfully regulates the ball’s position with minimal oscillation and fast response time. This achievement highlights the viability of PID-controlled air levitation systems not only for industrial use but also as educational tools in engineering and automation training. By integrating hardware and control algorithms into a practical setup, this study contributes to both technological development and enhanced pedagogical approaches in control engineering.

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to review Multiphysics modeling techniques for PMSM-based electric vehicle (EV) drives. Because of its great efficiency, power density, and ability to precisely adjust power, permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) have emerged as the go-to option for electric vehicle (EV) drives. However, a Multiphysics approach that incorporates mechanical, thermal, electromagnetic, and control system dynamics is necessary to effectively describe PMSM-based EV drives. This paper examines the benefits, drawbacks, and uses of several Multiphysics modelling approaches applied to PMSM-based EV drives. Analytical methods and finite element analysis (FEA) are two examples of electromagnetic modelling techniques that are examined in connection with loss prediction and motor design optimization. While mechanical modelling techniques concentrate on vibration and acoustic noise difficulties, thermal modelling procedures are examined to address heat dissipation and performance reliability. One of the main issues lies in the accurate representation of coupled losses electromagnetic, thermal, and mechanical especially under dynamic operating conditions typical of EVs. To improve the dynamic performance and fault tolerance of PMSM drives, control-oriented modelling techniques are also examined. Co-simulation frameworks that combine these several physical domains are also presented in the review, offering a thorough understanding of practical EV applications. The paper concludes by discussing future research possibilities in Multiphysics modelling for PMSM-based EV drives, with a focus on real-time simulation capabilities, computational efficiency, and artificial intelligence integration.
