The increasing concerns of air pollution and energy usage led to the electrification of the
vehicle powertrain system in recent years. On the other hand, internal combustion engines …

When performing periodic tasks, the modeling uncertainties will also present some
periodicity. In this paper, by appropriately applying Fourier series approximation, a practical …

The need for an open, inclusive, and neutral procedure in selecting key performance
indicators (KPIs) for sustainable manufacturing has been increasing. The reason is that …

This article presents a survey on actuation systems encountered in offshore drilling
applications. Specifically, it focuses on giving a comparison of hydraulic and electric …

Previously, the authors have designed and implemented an active motion control “virtual
crankshaft” for a free piston engine, which enables precise piston tracking of desired …

The free piston engine (FPE), as an alternative of the conventional internal combustion
engine, could significantly impact the energy consumption and emissions of both on …

This paper presents a multiobjective optimal design and an energy compensation control for
the soft valve landing of an electromagnetic valve actuator in internal combustion engines …

This book presents analytical and experimental methods and achievements in design,
modeling and control of automotive propulsion systems. The text presents a systems view on …

In an electromagnetic valve actuator (EMVA), precise motion control is desired to achieve
fully variable valve actuation, so that the fuel economy, the emissions, and the torque output …

Impeller recirculation is a loss which has long been considered in one-dimensional (1D)
modeling; however, the full extent of its impact on stage performance has not been …
