AI-Driven Data Consistency and Relationship Inference System for Agile Component Library Management2026-01-0109To be published on 04/07/2026
Reliable component libraries are the foundation of the engineering process and the starting point for all intelligence within CAD tools. In practice, however, libraries created and maintained by librarians often contain incomplete, inconsistent, or outdated data. This paper introduces the component data consistency and relationship inference AI system, developed within Amoeba software, which addresses these challenges by improving component library quality. The system uses AI to infer component attributes such as component type, gender, color, material, etc. Moreover, it can identify relationships such as the family a connector is associated with based on its attributes and geometry. The system improves data consistency in areas such as resolving mismatched wire size constraints imposed by the connector and cavity components. It also utilizes computer vision to identify common connector footprints, cavity sizes, and 2D symbol geometries. Deployed within Amoeba software, the system has

Galvanic Corrosion Susceptibility Analysis and Mitigation Strategies in Automotive Battery Packs2026-28-00182/12/2026
As electric vehicles continue to revolutionize transportation, ensuring the reliability of their powertrain systems and Battery Packs has become a critical focus. One key challenge is galvanic corrosion, which occurs when dissimilar metals in contact are exposed to an electrolyte, such as seashore moisture or road salt used in snow or ice zones. This corrosion can weaken structural components, compromise electrical conductivity, and reduce the lifespan of critical systems. Common areas at risk include metallic joints within battery enclosures, busbars, cooling systems, and electrical connectors. Environmental factors such as high humidity and temperature fluctuations further amplify the issue, making it a pressing concern for manufacturers. This paper aims to systematically identify critical galvanic joints within electric powertrain systems and Battery Packs and provide effective strategies to mitigate corrosion risks. Preventative measures include choosing compatible materials with

Predictive Modelling of Battery Behaviour for Enhanced Energy Management in Electric Vehicles2026-26-03851/16/2026
The transition to electric vehicles is a significant change as the world moves toward sustainable objectives, and thus the effective usage of energy and batter functioning. However, accurate battery modelling and monitoring is still challenging due to its highly nonlinear behaviour because of its dependencies with temperature variations, aging effects, and variable load conditions. To address these complexities, there are smart battery management systems that monitor the key parameters like voltage, current, temperature, and State of Charge, ensuring safe and efficient battery operation. At the same time, this may not completely capture the battery's dynamic aging behaviour. Here, digital twin emerges as the powerful solution, which replicates the complete physical system into a virtual platform where we can monitor, predict and control. This research paper shows the digital twin solution framework developed for the real-time monitoring and prediction of key battery parameters and

Thermal Management of High-Voltage Connectors Using Double-Layered Phase-Change Materials (PCM)2026-26-02791/16/2026
High Voltage cables and terminals are prone to high temperatures and rapid heat generation due to high current ratings, especially in electric vehicles (EVs). If the temperature exceeds a critical limit, danger may be posed to the components which are connected and the overall safety of the passengers. Traditionally, cooling methods are often energy-intensive and rely on active systems, which may not always be practical for high-power applications. Thus, a localized, fast, and reliable passive thermal management methodology that can be retrofitted into existing connector designs through modifications (e.g., enlargement and PCM integration) would provide significant safety enhancement. The material property of phase change materials, which possess high latent heat, has been used to maintain a steady temperature for a period of time. A dual PCM-layer has been incorporated into the design of the high-voltage connector to serve two purposes:1. The first PCM layer (PCM-1), with good

Optimizing Busbar Design by Investigating Critical Parameters and their Influence on Electrical and Thermal Behaviors for Reliable Electric Vehicle Battery Packs2026-26-04741/16/2026
With the rise of EVs, researchers are focusing on optimizing busbar design to meet the demands of high energy density, fast charging, and compact battery packs. The busbar design starts by selecting the material and the cross-sectional area required based on the rated current requirement. The width matches or may exceed the battery cell terminal size, whereas the length is optimized such that it is packaged within the given space constraints. The research also highlights the risk of busbars to oxidation and corrosion, which increases resistance and decreases conductivity for which plating/coating techniques are applied to improve the surface finish, overall durability, conductivity and in some cases the surface hardness, while minimizing the heat loss. Using simulations and experimental validation, the study examines three key design parameters: the weld diameter for busbar welded joints, electrical resistance, and contact resistance. A detailed analysis investigates how the weld

An Integrated Digital Platform for Wiring Harness Testing2026-26-05031/16/2026
This article describes an enhanced, more efficient way to build and test wire harnesses. The wire harness is a complex, organized bundle of wire found in virtually every motorized vehicle, machinery and equipment. Manual work is usually performed in assembling such harnesses, which is time-consuming and error-prone. Workers usually rely on printed diagrams and basic tools, which can be tiring and tricky to follow, especially when the designs change often. The new system solves many of these issues by combining a smart testing machine called Quad 64 with a large digital display workbench. Instead of looking at paper drawings, workers can now see the full wire layout directly on a screen, life-sized and clear. This makes it easier to understand where each wire goes and what to do next. What’s really helpful is that the system can spot mistakes right away. If a connector is omitted or a wire is placed wrongly, the system will report the error immediately and show it and the remedy.

Analysis of Stress Behavior at the Arch Foot of a Spatial Double-Arch Composite Steel Box Arch Bridge2025-99-034012/17/2025
To assess the structural response of the steel-concrete composite joint in a long-span half-through spatial double-arch steel box arch bridge throughout its construction and service life, a comprehensive analytical approach was implemented. Initially, a global beam-element model was constructed using Midas Civil software to determine the structural response during critical phases, including the primary construction stage (Stage 1) and operational conditions. Subsequently, a refined local finite element model focusing specifically on the arch foot's steel-concrete interface was developed in Ansys. The modeling methodology incorporated experimental validation through field instrumentation data, enabling detailed examination of both stress distribution patterns within the composite zone and the fundamental force transfer principles at this critical structural transition. Key findings from this investigation demonstrate: When subjected to the combined effects of permanent and transient
