Micromobility and the Next Infrastructure WaveEPR202402210/04/2024
US transportation infrastructure is dominated by the automobile form factor. Alternative modalities of movement, such as bikes, golf carts, and other micromobility options, have existed but are decidedly at a lower tier of importance. Even pedestrian access ways are not overly emphasized in the US transportation system. This lack of prioritization matches the reality that the vast majority of people and commerce moves through the motor vehicle infrastructure, with micromobility sitting in the periphery. Additionally, given the current lack of commercial applications, there are limited direct fee-based funding mechanisms connected to micromobility form factors. Micromobility and the Next Infrastructure Wave discusses how recent technological innovations in electrification, e-commerce, and autonomy are enabling a new class of micromobility devices which offer palpable value to consumers and enable significant commercial applications. Unlike the past, these micromobility devices now have

Controlling Aircraft—From Humans to Autonomous Systems: Rise of the MachinesEPR202402009/25/2024
Paris, June 18, 1914: Crowds gathered at the “Concours de la Sécurité en Aéroplane” to witness 21-year-old Lawrence Sperry demonstrate his newly invented gyroscopic stabilizer. With his hands in the air, the device flew his Curtiss C-2 flying boat. Only a decade after the Wright brothers’ initial flight, the first n “autopilot” made its public debut. As impressive as this public demonstration was, it was merely a humble, although spectacular moment of foreshadowing. Even today—110 years later—the process of automating aspects of flight has not yet fully concluded, leading to deteriorating insight into the automatic behavior of aircraft systems, and even the waning of human instincts and intuition. Controlling Aircraft—From Humans to Autonomous Systems: Rise of the Machines covers the distancing of humans from their flying machines through more than a century-long process of “assisting” systems introduction, the positive and negative consequences of this process, and mitigation

The Role of Hybrid Vehicles in a Net-zero Transport SystemEPR202402109/25/2024
As the world looks to net-zero emissions goals, hybrid electric vehicles may play an increasingly important role. For passenger electric vehicles (EVs) that predominantly make short journeys but occasionally need to make longer trips, electrofuel range extension may be more cost effective than either hydrogen or rapid charging. Micro gas turbines and catalytic combustion show significant potential to deliver low-cost, low-maintenance, lightweight engines with virtually no emissions, and hydrocarbon consuming solid oxide fuel cells show even greater potential in these areas. Aditioanlly, sodium-ion batteries for EVs, dispatachable vehicle-to-grid power and buffering, and variable intermittent renewable energy could also play key roles. The Role of Hybrid Vehicles in a Net-zero Transport System explores the costs, considerations, and challenges facing these technologies.

Modeling the thermal behavior of dry sliding contacts is complex due to nonlinear thermal boundary conditions and intricate surface interactions. This study reviews and analyzes various thermal models applicable to dry sliding contacts, employing finite element analysis-based numerical simulations for model validation and deeper insights into the system’s physics. The primary goal is to assess the average contact temperatures in sliding pairs of copper-graphite, bronze-graphite, and graphite-graphite. A thermal model is developed, incorporating experimentally measured temperatures taken 2 mm from the contact point and considering the experimental setup’s boundary conditions. The temperature distribution in both the pin and the disc under different loads shows maximum temperatures at the contact point, decreasing with distance both laterally and in depth, reaching a minimum at the outer edges. Results show that the highest temperatures are observed at the contact points, with

Performance Optimization of Ti-Steel Laser-Welded Joints Based on Optimized Support Vector Machine and Multi-Objective Salp Swarm Algorithm05-18-02-001011/07/2024
The dissimilar welding of titanium to steel enables the integration of the advantageous properties of both metals, facilitating the design of lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and high-strength multifunctional composite structures. However, significant differences in their thermophysical properties pose substantial technical challenges in practical welding scenarios, necessitating careful selection of process parameters to enhance the quality and performance of the weld joint. This article establishes a support vector machine (SVM) model with laser power, welding speed, and laser spot diameter as independent variables, and the maximum residual stress and minimum yield strength of the weld joint as dependent variables. To improve prediction accuracy, the SVM model is optimized using the beluga whale optimization (BWO) algorithm. Taking the established model as the objective function, the multi-objective salp swarm algorithm (MSSA) is employed to optimize the laser welding process

Test Method for Evaluating the Electrochemical Resistance of Coolant System Hoses and MaterialsJ1684_202411 (Current)11/06/2024
This test method provides a standardized procedure for evaluating the electrochemical resistance of automotive coolant hose and materials. Electrochemical degradation has been determined to be a major cause of EPDM coolant system hose failures. The test method consists of a procedure which induces voltage to a test specimen while it is exposed to a water/coolant solution. Method #1, referred to as a “Brabolyzer” test, is a whole hose test. Method #2, referred to as a “U” tube test, uses cured plate samples or plates prepared from tube material removed from hose (Method No. 2 is intended as a screening test only). Any test parameters other than those specified in this SAE Recommended Practice, are to be agreed to by the tester and the requester
