Comparison of Female and Male Post Mortem Human Subject Kinematic Responses and Injuries in Rear-Facing Seat Configurations in High-Speed Frontal Impacts2026-22-00077/28/2026
This study investigates female post-mortem human subject (PMHS) responses and injuries, comparing them to previously published data from male PMHS tested at a change in velocity (delta-V) of 56 kph in high-speed rear-facing frontal- impact (HSRFFI) scenarios. Twelve small female PMHS were subjected to the same HSRFFI pulse. The subjects were positioned in reinforced production seats, identical to those from the previous male PMHS studies, and set to recline angles of either 25 or 45 degrees. Instrumentation was used to measure kinematics of the head, spine, pelvis, and ribs. Whole-body kinematics were recorded using motion capture. Female PMHS consistently showed lower head restraint, seatback, and lap belt loads compared to males across all test conditions (Bio Rank System [BRS] scores >1.0), with BRS scores for head restraint forces as high as 4.0. While head and T1 kinematics were consistent with males in all-belt-to-seat (ABTS) conditions (BRS < 1.0), significant differences were found in other body regions (BRS>1.0). Female PMHS had larger head forward rotation and smaller pelvis Z-axis displacement (less ramping) than males in the fixed D-ring (FDR) conditions, leading to major discrepancies (BRS>2.0). In addition, female chest deflection was smaller in one FDR condition (BRS=1.98), and tibia acceleration onset was earlier. Female PMHS sustained severe to critical rib fractures (Abbreviated Injury Scale [AIS]3-5) similar to males. However, five females in the FDR conditions and one in the ABTS condition sustained sacral fractures, an injury not seen in males. Females also had a higher frequency of lower extremity fractures (7 of 12) and vertebral body fractures (7 of 12) compared to males. These findings suggest that existing male PMHS data may not adequately predict responses and injury risks for female PMHS, emphasizing the need for female-specific biomechanical data to enhance safety tools and models in HSRFFI scenarios.

Performance Analysis of a Gasoline Direct-Injection Opposed-Piston FPEG: A Coupled Study of Injection, Scavenging, and Dynamics2026-01-50637/28/2026
The opposed-piston free-piston engine generator (FPEG) is a promising high-efficiency energy conversion architecture, featuring reduced heat transfer and favorable NVH characteristics for applications such as auxiliary power units and vehicle range extenders. While significant progress has been made, existing studies often focus on isolated parameters. The coupled effects of key operational parameters, including injection pulse width, scavenging pressure, rebound cylinder base pressure, and mover mass, on the performance of gasoline direct-injection opposed-piston FPEG remain insufficiently explored. To bridge this gap, we develop and validate a thermodynamics zero-dimensional combustion simulation model against bench tests, with peak pressure errors below 5%. This model enables a systematic investigation into the interactive effects of these parameters. Results indicate that piston dynamics are most sensitive near dead centers and in the first half of the expansion stroke. Indicated thermal efficiency peaks at 35.87% with a 4.5 ms injection pulse width and increases from 35.02% to 36% as scavenging pressure rises from 1.3 bar to 3 bar. Scavenging pressure dominates compression ratio and efficiency, rebound pressure mainly affects operating frequency, and injection width governs indicated work and peak pressure. This study establishes a coupled analysis framework, providing concrete insights for optimizing opposed-piston FPEG performance through parameter coordination.

Model-Based Optimization and Evaluation of Hybrid Powertrains for Commercial Heavy-Duty Class 8 Truck Applications02-19-04-00257/27/2026
In an ever-evolving landscape of emission regulations, charging infrastructure, customer demands, fuel/energy costs and decarbonization goals, heavy-duty on-road vehicle manufacturers continue to evaluate alternative powertrain technologies. While most heavy-duty vehicle manufacturers now have battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in their portfolio, significant challenges of charging infrastructure, range anxiety, payload capacity reduction and upfront costs have contributed to their lower adoption rates. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) have significant potential of leveraging upcoming BEV infrastructure and component supply chains to reduce operating costs while still maintaining longer range and payload capacity benefits of conventional ICE powertrains. This article applies a model-based approach to evaluate multiple Class 7–8 heavy-duty powertrain configurations. A system-level (1D) model of the conventional diesel ICE-based truck was developed in GT-Suite and validated against on-road test data. Using the diesel ICE model as a baseline, system-level models for different hybrid configurations were adapted, and their powertrain architecture was optimized at the system level. Additionally, an equivalent consumption minimization strategy (ECMS) for energy management was also optimized for each of the hybrid powertrain configurations to maximize fuel efficiency and emission benefits. All the hybrid configurations were then compared against the conventional diesel ICE Class 8 truck in terms of performance (acceleration, top speed, gradeability and startability), fuel economy (real-world cycles and certification cycles), emissions, and range for long-haul applications. Unique to this approach is the simultaneous co-optimization of powertrain component sizing and supervisory control logic by utilizing a Genetic Algorithm–based optimization approach. Results indicate that all parallel hybrid architectures (P2, P2–P3, and P4) achieve performance (acceleration, top speed, gradeability, and startability) parity or improvement compared to baseline diesel architecture. P2-based architectures demonstrated a 12–14% improvement in fuel economy on representative real-world cycles when operating in a blended charge-depleting–charge-sustaining mode of operation, and a 4–6% improvement in fuel economy when operating in charge-sustaining mode alone. By quantifying these results across diverse topologies, this work addresses a significant research gap in the holistic evaluation of Class 8 hybrids, specifically, the trade-off between multi-speed electric drives, system-level mass increases, and real-world fuel economy, that remains underexplored in current literature.

Efficiency Modeling, Experimental Validation, and Machine Learning-Assisted Model Calibration of a Two-Speed E-Drive Transmission for Construction Equipment02-19-03-00197/27/2026
This study details the development and experimental validation of a high-fidelity one-dimensional (1D) simulation model for a two-speed transmission designed for off-road vehicles, such as tractors and backhoe loaders used in agricultural and civil engineering applications. The model, implemented in the AMESim platform from Siemens, integrates physics-based loss sub-models for all major components, including gears, bearings, seals, and fluid drag (churning) losses. After development, the model was rigorously validated against test bench data, with efficiency measurements taken across various speed, torque, and oil level combinations, demonstrating a strong correlation with experimental results. A detailed analysis enabled the quantification of the contribution of each loss mechanism, identifying the countershaft gears and input shaft bearings as the primary contributors. Furthermore, a Machine Learning (ML)–based calibration framework, employing Bayesian Optimization, was implemented to reduce discrepancies between simulation and experiment and to generate a synthetic dataset for the creation of fast-executing surrogate models. The study concludes that the proposed methodology constitutes an effective tool for efficiency analysis and optimization during early design stages, establishing a foundation for future integration with ML techniques and the development of digital twins.

Geometric Deep Learning–Based AI Framework for Nonlinear Crash Behavior of Extruded Rails15-19-03-00127/27/2026
Extruded Rails are critical energy-absorbing components in automotive structures designed to mitigate impact loads during the frontal collisions. Traditional crashworthiness design relies heavily on computationally expensive finite element simulations and iterative design exploration. This work proposes a machine learning–driven framework for rapid front extruded rails design using a trained geometric deep surrogate model. A design-of-experiments (DoE) was conducted by varying geometric parameters including width, height, and wall thickness of a thin-walled extruded rail structure. For each design variant, LS-DYNA simulations were performed to obtain performance metrics such as mean crush force and peak crush force. These simulation results were used to train an AI surrogate model capable of predicting crash responses directly from geometric parameters. The proposed approach significantly reduces computational cost by replacing repeated high-fidelity crash simulations with machine learning surrogate predictions. By enabling fast and accurate evaluation of crash response metrics, the workflow shortens design cycles and supports sustainability-driven crashworthiness assessment by reducing simulation resource usage. The framework establishes a scalable, simulation-driven engineering pathway across vehicle platforms and provides a foundation for future closed-loop, AI-assisted crash design workflows.

3D Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis of the Performance and Emissions of an Off-Highway Port Fuel Injection Hydrogen Engine03-19-04-00187/27/2026
To fulfil the global aspiration of achieving net-zero emissions, hydrogen as a fuel seems to be one of the promising candidates. High energy density per unit mass and zero carbonaceous emissions are the two salient advantages that hydrogen offers. In the present study, a set of detailed chemistry-based 3D CFD combustion simulation has been carried on a 3-cylinder turbocharged, water-cooled port fuel injection SI Hydrogen engine to understand its optimum air–fuel ratio, compression ratio, spark timing and combustion chamber geometry. The simulations have been conducted at the full load of the rated power and maximum torque engine rpms. During simulation, the λ zone for study is restricted between 2.1 and 2.7. Two different bowl geometries (spherical and cylindrical), with two compression ratio options (12 and 14) are explored in the simulations. While the spherical bowl seems to accommodate flame front better than the cylindrical bowl, the compression ratio of 12 is a safer choice to control the maximum rate of pressure rise (dp/dθ). At full load and rated speed, the indicated thermal efficiency drops by 7.7% as the λ swings from 2.1 to 2.7, whereas the indicated specific NOx and dp/dθ drop by 99% and 81%, respectively. Similarly, at full load and maximum torque RPM, the indicated thermal efficiency drops by 6.4% with λ swing from 2.1 to 2.7, whereas the indicated specific NOx and dp/dθ drop by 99% and 91%, respectively. Beyond λ = 2.4 NOx reaches almost to zero, however, at a compromise of the thermal efficiency. The dp/dθ remains well within the acceptable limit under this scenario. To account this trade-off between the performance and emission parameters, optimum λ zone has been found out to be between 2.3 and 2.5.

An Updated Data-Driven Greenhouse Gas Emission Rate Analysis for Vehicle Comparisons Applied to Europe14-15-03-00167/25/2026
This study presents a data-driven lifecycle assessment (LCA) framework for evaluating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from passenger vehicles across European electricity systems. The analysis compares battery electric vehicles (BEVs), full hybrid electric vehicles (FHEVs), and internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs) using both conventional average electricity emissions factors and time-resolved marginal emissions, referred to as real charging emissions (RCE). Hourly generation and interconnector/cross-border flow data for 2023 from 29 European countries are processed to estimate consumption-based marginal emissions rates that account for grid dispatch behavior and cross-border electricity flows. The approach is applied to two vehicles where multiple powertrains are available on the same platform, the 2024 Hyundai Kona (available as a BEV, FHEV, and ICEV) and Peugeot 2008 (available as a BEV and ICEV), to isolate drivetrain-related lifecycle differences. Results show substantial divergence between average and marginal emissions estimates, with a mean absolute difference in BEV–FHEV lifecycle emissions of 31–36 g CO2 eq/km across Europe. In several countries with carbon-intensive marginal generation, including Poland and Cyprus, BEVs may exhibit higher lifecycle emissions than comparable hybrids, while low-carbon grids such as Norway, Sweden, and France provide large BEV advantages. Sensitivity analyses demonstrate the importance of transmission losses, temperature effects, electricity imports, and charging timing. These findings highlight the limitations of average grid emissions factors in vehicle LCAs and underscore the importance of geographically and temporally resolved data-driven electricity emissions when assessing electrified vehicle climate impacts.

Research on the Hysteresis Performance of Welded Hollow Spherical Joints under Low Temperature2026-99-16417/24/2026
The extreme cold environment has a significant impact on the mechanical properties of welded hollow ball nodes, which are crucial components in large-span steel structures. In this paper, based on the comprehensive test data of drum-shaped welded hollow sphere nodes from Beijing Daxing International Airport, a sophisticated finite element model incorporating welding residual stress is established. Through detailed static loading analysis and systematic hysteresis performance studies, the research thoroughly explores the influence mechanisms of low temperature on node bearing capacity, deformation capability, and energy dissipation performance. The investigation reveals that while the bearing capacity of the nodes increases significantly in low-temperature environments, both their plastic deformation capacity and energy consumption performance are notably reduced. These findings provide valuable theoretical references for the design and optimization of large-span mesh frame structures in cold regions, enabling engineers to better account for temperature effects in structural calculations and safety assessments. The results have important implications for improving the reliability and durability of steel structures in extreme cold environments.

Analysis of the Cause of Knocking Noise in a Marine Dual-Power Dual-Branch Transmission Gear System2026-99-16507/24/2026
This study investigates the knocking noise phenomenon in a marine dual-power dual-branch transmission gear system. Vibration mechanisms are analyzed, and potential failure modes are assessed. System vibration data were evaluated using time-domain and frequency-domain methods. Results show that overall vibration levels remained within acceptable limits, with no indication of imminent failure. Physical inspection confirmed that the shaft, gears, bearings, housing, and installation met specifications, with no observed performance degradation or structural damage. By correlating noise occurrence with vessel loading conditions, a strong relationship was identified among gear transmission torque, the power distribution ratio between high-and low-pressure turbines, and the onset of knocking. Specifically, under low-load conditions, uneven power and torque distribution among the four gear branches led to insufficient loading on the low-pressure side. This light-load state induced instability in the low-pressure gears, resulting in periodic tooth disengagement or back-side tooth contact, which is established as the root cause of the knocking noise.

Corrosion critically damages structural strength and affects the structural safety, so there is an urgent need for a method that can accurately model and predict corrosion. Digital twin technology offers new methodologies for corrosion research. This study develops a digital twin-enabled virtual-reality mapping model for simulating aluminum alloy pitting corrosion. The model accounts for the effect of temperature on corrosion and establishes temporal correlations between field conditions and simulations through damage factor (DF) analysis coupled with detailed fatigue rating (DFR) methodology. Experimental validation using 7A04 aluminum specimens confirms the model’s reliability, with maturity analysis demonstrating its applicability in aircraft corrosion research. Through numerical simulation methods, this study simulates the evolutionary law of pitting corrosion development, reflecting the level of structural pitting corrosion damage. This investigation establishes a fundamental theoretical framework for condition monitoring and lifetime prediction of aircraft components affected by pitting corrosion.

Research on a Rocket Projectile Impact Point Prediction Model Based on Improved Proportional Navigation Guidance Law2026-99-16027/24/2026
Rocket projectiles are a type of ammunition that get their power from rocket engines. Long-range guided rockets, in particular, hold great significance as they seem to mark the way forward in modern warfare. These guided projectiles take full advantage of the considerable range that long-range rockets offer and, at the same time, manage to achieve improved accuracy. This paper delves into a model that is used for predicting the impact point of rocket projectiles, with the application of the proportional navigation guidance law. It also undertakes an analysis of both the strengths and the weaknesses of this model. Through the formulation of equations related to the dynamics of the center of mass and some other supplementary equations, a rather comprehensive trajectory equation was worked out. When this trajectory was simulated, it brought about the creation of a firing table, which is of help in predicting the initial trajectory inclination angle.

Research on the Inter-Stage Energy Transfer System of Launch Vehicles Based on Multi-Channel Coupling Mechanisms2026-99-16197/24/2026
In the paper, a novel non-contact high-power energy transfer system based on a layered coupling structure is designed to meet the demand for reliable energy transmission during the inter-stage separation process of launch vehicles. The system adopts the upper four-coil transmitting array and the lower single-coil receiving structure and combines the innovative design of a 6:1 step-down transformer topology. Through the optimization of the multi-channel magnetic field coupling mechanism, the system realizes the safe transmission of more than 2 kW of power in close interstage under the difficult problem of transmission loss under the scenario of low input voltage and high output current, which effectively solves the problem of the system. Experimental findings can demonstrate that with a specified input voltage, the system could keep its output voltage of about 28 V under a given input voltage, and the maximum output current reaches about 85 A. The transmission efficiency is significantly higher than the traditional single-coil structure, and the measured data verify the applicability of the scheme in the core indexes of voltage stability, power capacity, and transmission distance. The design breaks through the reliability limitation of traditional contact connections under extreme working conditions and provides an innovative solution for continuous energy supply during the dynamic separation process of the carrier.

Modeling and Simulation Analysis of Liquid Hydrogen and Power Systems Based on Amesim2026-99-16087/24/2026
Hydrogen-powered aircraft primarily utilize the conversion of liquid hydrogen into gaseous hydrogen to replace aviation kerosene, where hydrogen is directly combusted to provide propulsion. This study applied Amesim software to establish a complicated model simulating the liquid hydrogen to gaseous hydrogen conversion and ignition combustion processes. The simulation contains converting liquid hydrogen into gaseous hydrogen through a heat exchanger and simulating the mixture of gaseous hydrogen and air in the engine combustion chamber, and then igniting the mixture. The pressure, temperature, and flow rate of gaseous hydrogen and air during the ignition and combustion process in the engine combustion chamber, as well as the outlet temperature of the combustion chamber, are simulated and analyzed. The results demonstrate that during the simulation process, the internal pressure of the liquid hydrogen storage tank, the outlet pressure and flow rate of the liquid hydrogen pump, and the pressure and flow rate of gaseous hydrogen meet the requirements of the ignition combustion test. In addition, varying gaseous hydrogen flow rates had significant impacts on the temperature of the combustion chamber during combustion.
