Real-time Analysis of Battery Degradation in a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles during Vehicle-to-Grid Operation2025-01-507912/09/2025
This paper examines the effect of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) integration on battery aging and the economic viability of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). Due to their energy storage potential, V2G technologies are considered an environmentally friendly means to increase the stability of power grids. Persistent V2G operations tend to reduce battery lifetime and, consequently, will increase its replacement cost, which is a source of uncertainty for EV owners. This work investigates battery degradation under two scenarios: first, under normal vehicle operation using the US06 drive cycle, and second, under V2G operation with a 10-kW and 15-kW bidirectional charger. In the case of V2G operation, the charger discharges the battery by 20 kWh and then recharges it back to 90% state of charge (SoC) at a constant 1C-rate. Real-time simulations are performed in order to validate these results: a grid, a bidirectional charger, and the vehicle battery are modeled in a real-time simulator

Robust Lateral Trajectory Tracking of Intelligent Vehicles by Using Fuzzy Adaptive Dynamic Model Predictive Control10-10-02-000912/03/2025
To further improve the smoothness and robustness of lateral trajectory tracking for intelligent vehicles under complex operating conditions, this study proposes and experimentally validates a fuzzy adaptive dynamic model predictive control (FADMPC) strategy on the basis of model predictive control (MPC) framework. Thereinto, a three-degrees-of-freedom vehicle dynamics model serves as the predictive model, and a recursive least-squares algorithm with a forgetting factor is used to estimate tire cornering stiffness, thereby improving model fidelity. A whale optimization algorithm (WOA)–based adaptive horizon scheduler is devised to address the sensitivity of the prediction horizon to vehicle speed and road friction, and a fuzzy regulator adjusts the weight on the lateral displacement error in the objective function in real time. Hardware-in-the-loop tests on jointed and split-road surfaces show that compared with adaptive dynamic MPC, traditional MPC, and linear quadratic regulator, the

Standard for Mitigating the Effects of Tin Whiskers in Aerospace, Defense, and High Performance Electronic SystemsGEIASTD0005_2B (Current)12/02/2025
This standard establishes processes for performing and documenting mitigation steps taken to reduce the harmful effects of tin whiskers in electronic systems for ADHP applications. This includes electronic piece parts and mechanical hardware that are used on or in the proximity of electronics. This document identifies the requirements for mitigating the effects of tin whiskers applicable to the requirements of the SAE GEIA-STD-0005-1 Lead-free Control Plan (LFCP). An LFCP documents the specific Pb-free materials and assembly processes the LFCP owner will use to eliminate or mitigate the Pb-free risks to assure customers that their ADHP soldered electronic products will meet the applicable reliability requirements of the customer. This standard may also be used independently of SAE GEIA-STD-0005-1.

Quantifying Naturalistic Changes in Occupant Postures in Belt-Positioning Booster Seats Utilizing Pressure Mats2025-22-000812/02/2025
Belt-positioning booster seats (BPBs) help promote proper seat belt fit for children in vehicles. The effectiveness of BPBs depends on occupant posture, which can be influenced by BPB design features. This study aimed to quantitatively describe how children's postures naturally change over time in BPBs, using pressure mats. Thirty children aged 5 to 12 participated in two 30-minute trials using randomly assigned seating configurations. Five configurations were studied by installing two backless BPBs in vehicle captain’s chairs, varying booster profile (high, low, or no BPB) and armrest presence (with or without BPB/vehicle seat armrests). TekScan 5250 pressure mats were placed on the seating surfaces. Children began in an ideal reference posture, and center of force (COF) data were collected continuously. Additional observations on posture, behavior, and comfort were periodically collected. Mixed models, including effects of seating configuration, time, and volunteer characteristics
