Abstract:
The reduction of noise in the power system of electric vehicles has accentuated the contradictory issues between loudness and sharpness caused by wiper reversal. Multi-objective optimization methods can help guide multi-band collaborative active control and improve the sound quality of the wiper windshield system. Noise data during wiper operation were collected through actual vehicle test. A multi-objective optimization formulation was constructed based on the direct mapping relationships between the amplitude of characteristic frequency bands and loudness and sharpness. Sensitivity analysis identified a set of sensitive frequency bands that most significantly affect changes in loudness and sharpness. The multi-objective genetic algorithm NSGA-Ⅱ was employed to obtain the amplitude values of these sensitive bands yielding the best compromise between loudness and sharpness. Active control of loudness and sharpness was simulated using an active noise equalization (ANE) algorithm based on a filtered-error least mean square algorithm (FELMS) adaptive filter, verifying the feasibility of the optimal solution. The results show that the loudness is reduced by 15.4%, sharpness by 18%, achieving 94% of the optimal loudness reduction and 87% of the optimal sharpness reduction, demonstrating improved sound quality.

2025, 39(2): 125-130. doi: 10.12299/jsues.24-0048
Abstract:
Focusing on inertance systems and double-deck rail transit vehicle depot superstructure buildings, a finite element model was established and validated, the effectiveness of different types and inertance-to-mass ratios of inertance systems in controlling the vibration of these superstructure buildings was investigated. The results indicate that the three types of inertance systems viscous mass damper (VMD), tuned inerter damper (TID) and tuned viscous mass damper (TVMD) can all effectively reduce the Z-weighted vibration level on each floor of the upper building, and the damping effect becomes more pronounced as the inertance-to-mass ratio increases. Inertance systems TID and TVMD with different inertance-to-mass ratios exhibit larger reductions in the Z-weighted vibration level, reaching 1 dB~3 dB; whereas VMD shows relatively weaker damping performance, with a reduction in the Z-weighted vibration level of approximately 1 dB.

2025, 39(2): 131-140, 173. doi: 10.12299/jsues.24-0053
Abstract:
In response to the system operational anomalies caused by the mismatch between the vibration energy source and power supply requirements in piezoelectric passive sensing nodes for rail vehicle vibration, a node-level energy management strategy was proposed. By analyzing the structural composition, relevant parameters, and operational modes, an energy management strategy model was constructed. The particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm was then utilized to optimize and match the design parameters and operational modes, resulting in the design of a system solution and the development of a prototype. The results demonstrate that the node achieves a minimum standby power consumption of 8 mW, accurately collects traction motor vibration data, and extracts bearing fault characteristic frequencies from the data, validating the effectiveness of the proposed energy management strategy.

WANG Lei, GONG Yuanming
2025, 39(2): 141-147. doi: 10.12299/jsues.23-0244
Abstract:
Low-power brushless DC motor (BLDC) in vehicles is prone to failures under complex operating conditions and harsh environments, while traditional detection measures relying on a single threshold setting often lead to issues such as false alarms, missed detections, and over-protection. A fault protection measure for vehicle motors was proposed, which was monitored by setting multi-threshold and sensitive value at the software level, and optimized circuit design at the hardware level. By monitoring the key voltage and current parameters of the test vehicle motor, combined with real-time data, experience and model simulation, multiple thresholds and sensitive values were set to judge the running state of the vehicle motor. According to the triggering conditions of different thresholds, corresponding protection measures were taken, and fault protection test bench was set up to analyze the signals received by the upper computer. The results show that the measure is feasible and correct.

LIU Kai, LUO Suyun, WEI Dan
2025, 39(2): 148-156, 180. doi: 10.12299/jsues.24-0068
Abstract:
Common detection algorithms often struggled with missed detections, false positives, and large deviations in predicted orientation angles in road vehicle detection. A fusion detection algorithm combining improved YOLOX and Second was designed. By leveraging images and point clouds, two sub-networks were employed for vehicle detection. For image detection, convolutional block attention module, focal loss, and efficient intersection over union loss function were used to improve the detection performance of existing YOLOX. For point cloud detection, a residual sparse convolutional middle layer was designed to enhance the feature expression and context information association of Second algorithm, effectively reducing the missed detection rate of vehicles. The predictive directional angles was optimized by constructing a multi-bins strategy. Experimental conducted on KITTI dataset show that the algorithm surpassed the original, with improvements of 1.00%, 1.38%, and 2.66% in 3D average precision for easy, moderate, and hard targets, respectively. The accuracy of detecting target rotation angles is also greatly improved.

LIU Yufei, ZHANG Ying, CHEN Zhiying, WANG Xiang
2025, 39(2): 157-165. doi: 10.12299/jsues.24-0097
Abstract:
The rheological behavior and microstructure evolution of the new near-α titanium alloy under different deformation conditions were investigated by thermal compression tests and microstructure characterization experiments. The results show that the real stress-strain curve displays characteristics of stress decrease and tendency to stabilize after the peak. At high strain rates, the peak stress is high and decreases rapidly. The transformation of the hard-oriented α phase to the soft-oriented β phase leads to a rapid decrease in the flow stress, with dynamic recrystallization (DRX) refining grains and dynamic recovery (DRV) rearranging dislocations within subgrains. Based on these findings, a dynamic recrystallization volume fraction model was established.

2025, 39(2): 166-173. doi: 10.12299/jsues.24-0043
Abstract:
Using solid sodium hydroxide as the alkaline exciter and slag and fly ash as the precursors, the fly ash-slag based geopolymer was prepared by "one-step" method. Through the unconsolidated and undrained (UU) triaxial shear test, the mechanical properties of soft soil stabilized with fly ash-slag based geopolymer were tested, and the influence mechanism of such as fly ash content, water to biner ratio, and curing time on the shear strength of the stabilized soft soil were investigated. The cohesion and internal friction angle of the stabilized soft soil were calculated, and the mechanisms of geopolymer stabilizing soft soil were also analyzed through microscopic tests. The results show that the increase of fly ash doping leads to the decrease of shear strength and internal friction angle of geopolymer stabilized soft soil; the increase of water to binder ratio reduces the shear strength of stabilized soft soil; the increase of cofining pressure makes the strain softening gradually weakened, and the strength gradually improved; the increase of curing time increases the shear strength, and the cohesion and the internal friction angle show a rising trend at the same time.

2025, 39(2): 187-193. doi: 10.12299/jsues.24-0081
Abstract:
A voice coil motor-driven two-degree-of-freedom translational large-stroke decoupled micro-motion stage was proposed, which adopts a parallel dual-push-pull structure coupling straight flexible reed beams with a compound double parallelogram mechanism. Based on the push-pull driving principle of the voice coil motor and the configuration design of the dual-degree-of-freedom flexible mechanism, the static and dynamic characteristics of the platform were modeled using the force and deformation characteristics of the spring beam and the Lagrange equation, and an analytical model for calculating the static stiffness and natural frequency of the platform was obtained. Finite element analysis was conducted to validate the rationality and accuracy of the proposed models, and a control experimental system for the platform was constructed to compare trajectory tracking performance between single-push-pull and dual-push-pull modes. The experimental results show that the dual-push-pull mode has better tracking performance, higher precision, and better stability compared to the single-push-pull mode. The proposed complementary voice coil motor-driven large stroke flexible parallel precision motion platform features large stroke, high precision, and high stability characteristics, making it particularly suitable for large-stroke high-speed precision motion scenarios.

FAN Lei, XIA Peng, DIAO Yongfa
2025, 39(2): 194-200, 208. doi: 10.12299/jsues.24-0049
Abstract:
A steady-state two-phase heat and mass transfer model was developed for a single proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer to investigate the effects of different groove structures (triangular, tooth-shaped and goose-shaped) on its performance. The influence of groove depth, number and spacing was examined. The results show that incorporating grooves in the anode flow channel can improve electrochemical performance, enhance the heat and mass transfer, and increase the efficiency of the electrolyzer, with the best optimization effect of the goose-shaped groove. Within the range of 0.4~1.6 mm in depth, the electrolyzer corresponding to 0.8 mm has the best performance. Compared to a conventional flow channel, the optimized electrolyzer has a lower potential to achieve the same current density, has a better proportion of water saturation and oxygen content in the anode region, and has a lower proton exchange membrane temperature, thereby improving the performance of the electrolyzer.

Abstract:
In order to investigate the aerodynamic performance of the tethered unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and the deformation of the tether, the dynamic response analysis of the tethered UAV was conducted. A tethered UAV model was developed, and numerical simulations were performed using using a fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis method, standard k-ε turbulence model, and slip-grid technology. The dynamic performance of the tethered UAV system under crosswinds at different wind speeds was investigated. The results shows that the vortex strength increases significantly with crosswind speed, particularly on the windward side. The tether deformed under the combined effect of wind and its gravity, and the maximum deformation occurs at a specific location and varies with wind speed. The maximum deformation was 448 mm, and the overall average deformation was 145 mm in 10 s. It can be used as a reference for the design and utilization conditions of tethered UAVs.

FANG Cheng, HU Zhi
2025, 39(2): 216-222. doi: 10.12299/jsues.24-0063
Abstract:
In a dual-arm surgical robot environment, it is essential for the robotic arms to reach target positions safely and efficiently. An adaptive APF-Informed-RRT* path planning algorithm was proposed to overcome limitation of traditional APF-Informed-RRT* algorithms, such as lack of adaptability and insufficient path stability, thereby improving the quality of path planning for robotic arms. The coefficients of the attraction term, repulsion term, and random guidance term were dynamically adjusted based on the Euclidean distance from the robot's current position to the target, as well as the density of obstacles in the nearby area. This adaptability helps to reduce the path planning cost by adjusting to the environment. Simulation results show that compared to the APF-Informed-RRT* algorithm, the proposed method performs better in terms of path cost and search range in a 3D oral simulation environment. This adaptability endows the algorithm with effective stability in path planning tasks.

A low noise LC-VCO with a working frequency of 3.8~4.0 GHz was designed using the 0.25 μm GaAs HBT process of San'an Optoelectronics. The design adopted a bipolar junction transistor to form a differential negative resistance structure, and used a source resistance bias circuit to provide the working current. Finally, the tail inductance and large-capacity filtering technology were used to improve the noise factor, and the microstrip line was used instead of inductance in the layout design to achieve a lower noise factor. The post-chip simulation results show that the LC-VCO designed has a frequency range of 3.75~4.05 GHz, an amplitude of 1.6 V, a phase noise of −118.8 dBc at 1 MHz offset, and a voltage control sensitivity of 43 MHz/V.

Abstract:
Light filaments are pivotal in ultrafast laser applications, and enhancing the long-distance propagation of light filaments substantially broadens their application prospects.Wrapped beams exhibits characteristics that significantly enhance the long-distance propagation of light filaments, with their annular portions playing a crucial role during propagation. Based on the split-step Fourier transform simulation method, the propagation characteristics of wrapped beams endowed with varied annular segments were systematically investigated through comparative simulation. The results indicate that the input energy, beam waist radius and central distance of the annular portion of the wrapped beam all influence the filament's propagation. Fine-tuning the annular parameters can optimize the propagation efficiency of laser filamentation, expanding the applications domains of ultrafast lasers.

CAO Jieqiang, ZHANG Liqiang, LI Junli, MAO Jian, LIU Gang
2025, 39(2): 243-250. doi: 10.12299/jsues.24-0074
Abstract:
The scarcity of infrared defect samples and the difficulty in acquiring them during the automated tape laying process result in low classification accuracy and ineffective defect identification by classification model algorithm. To address this issue, a data augmentation method based on an attention mechanism Wasserstein generative adversarial network (WGAN) was proposed. A CB-Attention module was introduced into the generator to enhance its capability to capture image feature, expand the receptive field, and improve the quality of generated images without adding extra parameters. Batch channel normalization was employed to adaptively integrate information from both channel and batch dimensions, thereby imcreasing the model's training speed and generalization ability. Experimental results demonstrate that the samples generated by the attention-based data augmentation method are diverse and of high quality. Incorporating these samples into the small dataset of automated tape laying defects significantly improves defect recongnition accuracy, which validates the ffectiveness of the proposed algorithm and lays a data foundation for automated tape laying defect classification algorithms.

LI Zhenzhen, LI Yanmei
2025, 39(2): 251-256. doi: 10.12299/jsues.24-0073
Abstract:
Existing researches on sports arm sleeves predominantly focus on the singular effect of compression in alleviating muscle fatigue, with limited integration of far-infrared radiation (FIR) technology investigated. In this study, sports arm sleeves were knitted using graphene-nylon composite fiber and nylon yarn, with far-infrared fiber contents (mass fraction, the same hereafter) of 0%, 25%, 50%, and 75%. Their effects on reducing muscle fatigue in the arm were evaluated under three pressure levels. Muscle fatigue was assessed using the root mean square (RMS) and median frequency (MF) of electromyographic signals, as well as subjective fatigue scores. The results indicate that FIR-integrated sleeves effectively reduce muscle fatigue after exercise, with the effect increasing as FIR fiber content rises, peaking at 75% content. At the same FIR contents, medium- and high-compression sleeves are more effective in alleviating muscle fatigue, particularly in the brachioradialis and flexor carpi radialis muscles. This may be attributed to the sequence of muscle activation and involvement degree during exercise.
