Abstract: Active contours with stochastic fronts (ACSF) is developed and investigated in this article to address the dependency of the existing algorithms of topology optimization on the initial guesses. The promising results of ...

Abstract: This study proposes an effective thermal control for plastic injection molding (polymer: Santoprene 821145 with density of 790 kg/m3, injection pressure: 1400 psi (9,652,660 Pa)) in a laminated die. For this purpose, ...

Abstract: With the extensive application of air-conditioning/refrigeration (A/C-R) systems in homes, industry, and vehicles, many efforts have been put toward the controller development for A/C-R systems. Therefore, this paper ...

Abstract: In this paper, a new approach is proposed to deal with the delay in vehicle stability control using model predictive control (MPC). The vehicle considered here is a rear-wheel drive electric (RWD) vehicle. The yaw rate ...

Abstract: Vehicle semi-active suspension systems can provide a satisfactory compromise of ride comfort and handling stability. With the rapid developments of damping control methodologies, ride comfort is expected to be improved in ...
