A Novel Stiffness Prediction Model of Rolling Lobe Air Springs Considering Irregular Piston Contour Geometry: Development and Experimental Validation

15-19-02-0006

5/18/2026

An accurate air spring model is essential for the design and optimization of air suspension systems to achieve superior performance. This article presents a novel stiffness model for a rolling lobe air spring (RLAS), formulated using stiffness characteristic parameters. Prediction models for these parameters, including effective area and its change rate, as well as effective volume and its change rate, are derived through geometric analysis, based on polynomial fitting of the irregular piston contour. The local contour cone angle of the piston is determined by differentiating the polynomial function, capturing the geometry-dependent variation across the profile. Additionally, a nonlinear hysteresis model for the rubber bellows is integrated, combining a Berg friction component and a Kelvin-Voigt fractional derivative viscoelastic model to represent the amplitude- and frequency-dependent behavior of the RLAS. The proposed model is parameterized through quasi-static and dynamic bench

Limit Stability Control for Corner Module Vehicles Based on Hierarchical Hybrid Game

10-10-04-0032

5/18/2026

Corner module vehicles (CMVs) achieve the decoupling of driving, braking, steering, and suspension, significantly enhancing vehicle handling potential, but under extreme operating conditions, the interactions between actuators severely constrain the improvement of vehicle handling performance. In order to mitigate conflicts between subsystems and enhance vehicle handling stability, a hierarchical hybrid game–based limit stability control method for CMVs is proposed in this article. Taking into account the handling potential of subsystems under limit conditions, a Stackelberg leader–follower game is designed by first designating Direct Yaw moment Control (DYC) as the leader and Active Rear Steering (ARS) as the follower. Subsequently, the DYC–ARS and Active Suspension System (ASS) were constructed into a non-cooperative game system, and the Nash equilibrium solution was solved through iteration. The lower-level controllers, respectively, established a tire force distribution model that

Pattern-Guided Implicit Sentiment Analysis: Knowledge-Augmented Prompting with Aspect-Sentiment Joint Extraction for Automotive User Feedback

2026-99-0753

5/15/2026

Implicit sentiment analysis of automotive user feedback is crucial for understanding user opinions. Automotive user feedback often express opinions in an indirect way and are accompanied by a dense array of industry terms. Therefore, without costly fine-tuning, both aspect identification and sentiment analysis are rather difficult. We propose a Pattern-Guided pipeline for implicit sentiment analysis to achieve the joint extraction of aspect and sentiment. This pipeline first performs Pattern Anchoring, mapping colloquial expressions and slang to the standardized vehicle component knowledge system. Then, using Knowledge-Augmented Prompting, these domain rules are injected into well-designed prompt templates. In this pipeline, the large language model (LLM) is applied to output JSON records suitable for comprehending, including aspects, sentiments, confidence levels, and brief reasons. To enhance stability, we employ an improved prompt and consistency-driven confidence fusion to generate

Optimal Power Sharing and Voltage Restoration in DC Microgrids Based on Adaptive Droop Control

2026-99-0707

5/15/2026

The stable operation of islanded DC microgrids is conditioned by two essential objectives. One is to maintain the bus voltage at its nominal value, and this can ensure system stability. The other is to achieve cost-effective power allocation among distributed generation units, which guarantees economic efficiency. These two objectives are often conflicting. Adding droop control to the voltage and current dual closed-loop control can achieve primary current sharing. However, it inevitably introduces steady-state voltage deviations on the DC bus and results in inflexible or not optimal power sharing. To resolve these inherent limitations, this paper proposes a innovative distributed secondary control strategy. The method is designed to meet both requirements within a unified framework. In the primary control layer, it uses adaptive droop gains to optimize power distribution in real time based on changing load requirements which enables distributed generation units to achieve cost

Time Series Causal Discovery Based on Data Augmentation and Causal Validation

2026-99-0703

5/15/2026

Causal discovery within time series is crucial for revealing the actual causal mechanisms in dynamic systems, and it has major impacts in various fields like economics, healthcare, and climate science. Even though it’s important, accurately figuring out causal relationships from observational temporal data is still quite a difficult task. Traditional Granger causality based methods are often limited by noise sensitivity, large amount of data, and the inability to distinguish between real causality and false correlation caused by hidden factors. In order to solve these problems, this paper presents CausalAugVeri, which is a new algorithm that cleverly mixes data augmentation with causal verification to make causal discovery more solid and precise. This work has three main points: First, we carefully check that using convolutional data augmentation techniques can greatly improve how well time series predictions work, giving a steadier base for detecting Granger causality. Second, the

Crowd Counting Network for Risk Early Warning in Exhibition Scenarios

2026-99-0705

5/15/2026

As a densely populated public place, exhibitions feature spatial layouts with multi-area linkage and instantaneous crowd flow mutations. Thus, developing a crowd flow early warning system adapted to exhibition dynamics is a key focus at the public safety and smart exhibitions to avoid risks like local congestion-induced stampedes. In general, two core challenges in exhibition crowd counting: 1) Key dynamic gathering information is hidden in high frequency components, but no correlation mechanism between frequency components and scene has been established; 2) Instant crowd gatherings cause high-frequency local density mutations, leading to time delays and spatial ambiguity of dynamic signals. To solve these, we propose a novel Crowd Counting Network for Risk Early Warning in Exhibition Scenarios with two core modules: 1) A bidirectional feature filtering module optimizes frequency information through low-frequency suppression to reduce redundancy and high-frequency activation to

Linear Trajectory Planning of Hydrogen Storage Tank with Unequal Polar Holes

2026-99-0718

5/15/2026

In this paper, the design and process research of uniform filling linear trajectory for filament wound hydrogen storage tank with unequal polar holes are carried out. Firstly, by optimizing the slip coefficient, the winding angles of the left and right heads are smoothly and continuously transitioned to the cylindrical section. We study the necessary conditions for achieving the central angle of uniform filling, and calculate the tangent points of the trajectory line based on the continuous fraction principle. Meanwhile, the slip coefficients at the left and right ends that satisfy stable winding and uniform covering are determined. Based on the equal contour constraint conditions, we analyze the motion trajectory equation of the four-axis winding machine and convert it into the corresponding machine code for actual winding operations. Experimental results show that stable winding of fibers on the surface of the unequal-polar-hole mandrel is achieved, and uniform filling and winding

Semantic-Driven Mathematical Modeling and Adaptive Refactoring for Logistics Optimization: A Language-Model Orchestrated Optimization Pipeline

2026-99-0750

5/15/2026

While large language models (LLMs) offer a convenient natural language interface for logistics optimization problems, it remains challenging to directly generate reliable mathematical models and executable code from unstructured text requirements. LLMs tend to produce invalid constraints or syntactically incorrect code. In addition, traditional logistics optimization methods lack the flexibility to adjust warehouse rules or operational goals without manual expert intervention. To address these issues, we propose LOOP (a Language-Model Orchestrated Optimization Pipeline), which automatically translates natural-language requirements into optimization algorithm code while retaining the rigor of classical models and solvers. LOOP leverages task-specific agents to construct accurate mathematical models and adopts a difference-driven code generation approach. First, it synchronizes model changes into executable code via semantic mapping and ensemble difference analysis. Second, it

However, large force tracking errors occur during scanning, especially in complex human tissues, which can severely degrade image quality and diagnostic accuracy. Therefore, we propose an adaptive speed-regulated impedance control strategy to address this challenge, which innovatively combines the spline real-time interpolation and impedance control for constant force tracking. Firstly, the discrete ultrasound scanning paths are fitted to generate a smooth and synchronized interpolation trajectory. Then, the speed of the reference trajectory is adjusted in real time based on the Taylor formula to reduce the force tracking error. Experimental verification was conducted, and the results showed that the force tracking error increases with the increase of trajectory speed. In addition, at high speeds (e.g., 10 mm/s), the mean

5/15/2026

With the continuous economic development and the rapid advancement of urbanization, the stable operation of distribution networks has become a key factor in ensuring the reliability of power systems. In response to the problems of high risk, high labor intensity, and low efficiency in distribution network operations, this paper designs an auxiliary operation mechanical arm for distribution networks. This auxiliary operation mechanical arm is fixed on the working bucket of an insulated boom truck. The main body is a two-degree- of-freedom SCARA mechanical arm that moves in a plane, and the end is connected to a three-degree-of-freedom end effector through a flange to cooperate in completing the pitch, deflection, axial feed, and clamping of insulated rods, achieving coarse positioning in the plane and precise positioning of the target. The auxiliary mechanical arm operation platform adopts a fully insulated design. The platform is made of glass nylon material, and the edges are rounded

Driving Behavior Heterogeneity Identification with Action Patterns Relationship

2026-99-0752

5/15/2026

Identifying driving heterogeneity is critical for enhancing the strategy learning capabilities of autonomous driving systems, as well as improving their safety and efficiency. This research proposes a novel driving heterogeneity identification framework. The framework consists of three core processes: action phase extraction, action relationship modeling, and behavior heterogeneity identification. First, a rule-based segmentation method is employed to systematically decode and interpret the inherent variations in human driving behavior. Subsequently, an action relationship modeling method is introduced to characterize the temporal relations between the acquired action phases. Finally, to mitigate the inaccurate identification caused by the sparse distribution of critical driving events in long-sequence data, a semantic encoding method is applied to remap the driving behavior space. Experimental results on the Lyft level-5 dataset validate the effectiveness of the proposed framework

Diffusion Framework with Cross-Modality Fusion Perception for Autonomous Driving in Urban Traffic

2026-99-0749

5/15/2026

End-to-end autonomous driving in urban environments faces three core challenges. First, camera and LiDAR sensor heterogeneity causes cross-modal perception inconsistencies and sensor fusion instability. Second, diffusion models suffer from training instability due to scale variance and distribution changes, which limits generalization. Third, traditional trajectory decoders lack structured interaction with semantic elements, thereby undermining planning rationality. To address these issues, CMFPNet introduces an integrated framework with three key modules. The HGCF-Backbone integrates LiDAR and camera features using channel focus, deformable cross-focus, and state space modeling to enhance semantic alignment. The NST module maps physical trajectories to normalized space, employing truncated diffusion sampling for stable generation in just 2–4 steps. The NDA models trajectory generation as a semantic narrative, utilizing a six-stage semantic attention flow incorporating BEV context

The design process of mining supports is often complicated due to their intricate structure and numerous dimensional dependencies, leading to a cumbersome modeling process and low design efficiency. To address these challenges, this paper introduces a parametric design system for mining supports built on the SolidWorks platform. The system integrates modular design concepts, module-matching principles, dimension-driven techniques, and API development. By adopting a modular assembly modeling approach, the system offers an efficient solution for managing the dimensional relationships between the various components of mining supports. Additionally, the system supports adaptive processing of 2D engineering drawings, facilitating the rapid design and manufacturing of mining supports. Engineering case studies demonstrate that this system enhances the design efficiency of mining supports by over 90%, significantly shortening the product development cycle, ensuring product quality, and
