Automobile aerodynamic problems are closely associated with the flows occurring around car. The paper investigates numerically the flow around a car body with different angles of wind velocity to car axis in range of 0~30°. The scale of automobile is 4350 m × 1680 m × 1480 m in length × width × height. The coefficient of flow resistance is defined. Analyzing the result, it can be concluded as follows: The wind angles affect the flow around the automobile strongly. The coefficient of flow resistance increases with increasing wind angles. The wall shear stress on the car increases with increasing the wind angles. The result can provide us with a useful reference for design of the automobiles and for safe running in windy days or windy areas.

Improvement of comfort functionalities is an important distinguishing mark for the competitiveness of automotive manufactures. Therefore the utilization of rotary MR actuators offers several new possibilities like an entry assist functionality for example. Beside requirements like a good controllability and reproducibility of torque the actuator must offer a certain holding torque without electrical feeding, in order to rest (fix) the automotive door in any position for a long period of time. For the realisation of an actuator with a current less torque two approaches are developed. The first one deals with permanent-magnets and offers an almost linear control characteristic. The second approach uses magnetic hysteresis for current less torque generation, which results in a plurivalent control characteristic. The main advantage is a an optimized design with respect to space and weigth. The hysteresis behaviour can be compensated by an adequate control algorithm, resulting in an almost linear torque characteristic.

In contrast to conventional brakes actuators based on magnetorheological fluids (MRF) offer an advantage in short term, peak load decelerating. The dissipation of a high amount of energy in a short period of time results in a thermal destruction of conventional brakes. Due to the volume based energy dissipation of MR actuators, instead of the surface based energy dissipation of conventional brakes, the rise of temperature and the distribution of energy shows significant advantages. In this paper a design rule for special peak load MR actuators is derived. Furthermore the simplified model, which is the basis of the design rule, is compared to several simulation models, with different levels of detail.

Aimed at the case that there is no place for opening up bus lanes limited by the road conditions and traffic conditions in the center area of city, in order to carry out the signal control of urban public transit priority on these roads, the traffic flow detectors are setted up the export of upper intersection, the time interval of bus and other big vehicles to go through the stop line of downstream intersection is estimated based on the real-time collection data, a series of bus operation schema at the stop line of downstream intersection are formed by merging each bus' time interval, by comparing with the signal operation schema of arterial direction to determine the green signal extension or red light ahead of arterial direction in order to achieve urban public transit priority. Traffic simulation results show that the mean delay of all vehicles reduce and the bus' delay decrease larger in addition to the mean delay of cross-road vehicle increase.

Energy generation performance of a piezo-electric generator depends mainly on several elements such as the structural style, boundary conditions, geo-metry parameters, materials, vibration-source frequency, and external load. To obtain the optimal energy-harvest-ing device, the Raleigh method is used to establish the analysis model of circular piezoelectric composite dia-phragms. Simply supported and clamped boundary con-ditions were considered. The relationships between the output power and the structural parameters of piezo-electric composite diaphragms, and the external load res-istance and frequency were shown. Given the correlative material parameters and boundary conditions, the output power, using structural parameters, external load, or vibrating frequency as variables, can be calculated. Simulation results show that there are optimal structural parameters and load for a composite diaphragm to achieve the maximum output power. A piezoelectric dia-phragm generator with given dimensions tends to achieve higher output power under clamped boundary conditions than that under simply supported boundary conditions.

Telesurgery systems integrate multimodal communication and robotic technologies to enable surgical procedures to be performed from remote locations. They allow human surgeons to intuitively control laparoscopic instruments and to navigate within the human body. In this paper, we present selected topics on multimodal interaction in the context of telesurgery applications. These are results from the collaborative research project SFB 453 on ldquoHigh-Fidelity Telepresence and Teleactionrdquo which is funded by the German Research Foundation in the larger Munich area. The focus in this paper is on multimodal information processing and communication including simulation of surgical targets in the human body. Furthermore, we present an overview of our advanced multimodal telesurgery demonstrators that provide a comprehensive platform for our collaborative telepresence research.

Aiming at the rapidity control problem of Direct Drive Electro-Hydraulic (DDEH) servo Rocket Rudder, a design method of adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control with friction torque dynamic compensation is presented. The friction torque dynamic compensation method is introduced to enhance the response of the system. The adaptive fuzzy controller is introduced to solve the problem of the uncertain parameter and external disturbances of the system, so the controller can be designed without accurate model. The adaptive law, which is derived of Lyapunov method, guarantees the stability of control system, reduces the high frequency chattering. Simulation results show that the control approach can decrease the tracking error, enhance the system's robustness and attenuate the high frequency chattering in the control signal.

This paper introduces a geometric algorithm for symmetric workpiece localization. First, we formulate the localization problem as a geometric problem in the configuration space Q=SE(3)timesR 3n , where SE(3) is the Euclidean group, and n is the number of measurement points to be matched by corresponding home surface points of the workpiece. Then, we compute for the critical points of the objective function. So we derive a geometric formula for the optimal Euclidean transformation in terms of the measurement points and the corresponding home surface points. The corresponding home surface point is given by two nonlinear equations. Each measurement point and its corresponding home surface point nearest to the measurement point are solved in every iterations. For symmetric features, their configuration spaces are identified with the quotation space of SE(3). Finally, based on these results an iterative algorithm for obtaining the complete solution is addressed and the proof is given. Experimental results show the algorithm is more efficient than the variation algorithm, which is an algebraic algorithm.
