Abstract: Fault diagnosis of a certain class of hybrid systems referred to as structurally reconfigurable (SR) systems is complicated. This is because SR systems tend to switch their configuration, which may or may not be faulty. ...

Abstract: A first principle based-control oriented gasoline engine model is proposed that is based on the mathematical model of the actual piston and crankshaft mechanism. Unlike conventional mean value engine models (MVEMs), which ...

Abstract: A novel first principle based control oriented model of a gasoline engine is proposed which also carries diagnostic capabilities. Unlike existing control oriented models, the formulated model reflects dynamics of the ...

Abstract: The performance of an electrified powertrain in extreme operating conditions is greatly compromised. This is due to the fact that meeting the road loads, ensuring efficient powertrain operation, and minimizing the loss of ...

Abstract: Design and control co-optimization studies for hybrid vehicles have been proposed in the past. However, such works suffer from difficulties arising due to (a) diverse real- and integer-valued variables, (b) complex nonlinear ...

Abstract: Torque produced by the internal combustion (IC) engine is desired to be of similar value for consecutive combustion cycles; nevertheless, difference occurs in the cyclic torque due to uncertainties in its generation. ...
