Digital twins, which enable the creation of virtual replicas of physical entities to simulate temporal changes and forecast future scenarios, have become increasingly vital in sectors such as logistics and traffic management. The deployment of digital twins can significantly enhance the efficiency of maritime operations and cargo handling, while also facilitating the strategic planning of road networks through the optimization of traffic flow and reduction of congestion. Recent advancements in international standards, particularly ISO 23247, have set forth comprehensive guidelines for the reference architecture, digital representation, and data exchange protocols of digital twins within the manufacturing sector. In this context, our study seeks to extend these standards to include applications in port logistics and traffic systems. This paper will offer practical guidelines for each specified domain through detailed case studies. Our approach entails a systematic method in which the necessary information for simulations is categorized. This is followed by a clear definition of the operational mechanisms of these simulations, culminating in the implementation of the simulation models. These models are crafted to optimize the scheduling processes for ships and cargo equipment, as well as to improve the management of traffic flow.

Soft robots have been intensively investigated for manipulation and locomotion in recent years. However, the current state of soft robotics has significant design and development work but lags in modeling and control due to the difficulty in modeling them. In this paper, we present a physics-based analytical framework to model soft robots driven by Twisted-and-Coiled Actuators (TCAs), an artificial muscle that can he arranged in arbitrary shapes in the soft body of a soft robot to achieve programmable motions. The framework can model 1) the complicated routes of multiple TCAs in a soft body and 2) the coupling effect between the soft body and the TCAs during their actuation process. When not actuated, a TCA in the soft body is an antagonistic elastic element that restrains the magnitude of the motion and increases the stiffness of the robot. By stacking several modules together, we simulate the sequential motion of a soft robotic arm with three-dimensional bending, twisting, and grasping motion. The presented modeling and simulation approach will facilitate the design, optimization, and control of soft robots driven by TCAs or other types of artificial muscles.

The design of microwave passive components should take into account the tolerances in the manufacturing process. This makes yield estimation and yield-driven design optimization essential steps in electromagnetic (EM) simulation-based microwave component design. Brute-force methods based on Monte Carlo (MC) analyses are not computationally feasible in practice due to the demand for a large number of EM simulations. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) hold a great potential to address this challenge. This paper reviews recent advances in ANN-based methods for the yield-driven design of EM structures, including a neuro-TF surrogate-assisted yield estimation method and the corresponding yield optimization algorithm. These advanced approaches are demonstrated by two microwave examples.
In this study, we propose a hybrid History-driven approach through collaboration between Firefly (FA) and Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithms, to improve the hybrid framework performance in finding the global optima i...

High electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) have emerged as an attractive alternative for high-efficiency power systems, due to their good material properties to perform at high voltages, temperatures, and frequencies. For that reason, design optimization of HEMTs becomes imperative to ensure the quality and capability of the device when in service. There have been models derived from experimentation to guide the design of HEMTs. Nonetheless, due to its expensive manufacturing process, the relationship of the temperature channel with respect to the design parameters has not been investigated thoroughly. This paper presents a multiphysics finite element (FE) simulation to predict the HEMT's device maximum channel temperature when varying different design parameters. Furthermore, Gaussian Process (GP) based surrogate model was developed using the simulation results as the training database with adaptive sampling techniques for the optimization process. The proposed high-fidelity surrogate model effectively predicts the channel temperature of the HEMT device and enables an optimum search over the design space.
