One of the challenging tasks concerning two wheeled inverted pendulum (TWIP) mobile robot is balancing its tilt to upright position, this is due to its inherently open loop instability. This paper presents an experimental comparison between model based controller and non-model based controllers in balancing the TWIP mobile robot. A Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) which is a non-model based control...

Metallic materials, especially steel, underpin transportation technologies. High-manganese twinning induced plasticity (TWIP) austenitic steels exhibit exceptional strength and ductility from twins, low-energy microstructural defects that form during plastic loading. Their high-strength could help light-weighting vehicles, hence cut carbon emissions. TWIP are however very sensitive to hydrogen ...

In the present work, hydrogen/material interaction with two austenitic steel types, created via a completely different alloying strategy, is investigated. The steels include 304L stainless (ASS) and 18Mn-0.6C twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) steel. Constant extension rate tensile tests are performed to evaluate influence of hydrogen on deformation fracture mechanisms. A reference condition wi...

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) consisting of multiple principle elements provide an avenue for realizing exceptional mechanical, physical and chemical properties. We report a novel strategy for designing a new class of HEAs incorporating the additional interstitial element carbon. This results in joint activation of twinning- and transformation-induced plasticity (TWIP and TRIP) by tuning the matri...

A new ultra-high strength steel with a fully austenitic microstructure and twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) effect has been developed. TWIP gives this good combination of high over 1000 MPa ductility 35%. This chromium content, which increases its corrosion resistance. By combining cold rolling annealing, the achieved very fine an average grain diameter 2.85 µm. could be used for structural a...

The effects of cerium (Ce) on the microstructure, mechanical properties and strain hardening behavior Fe-18Mn-0.6C twin-induced plasticity (TWIP) steel were investigated by electron backscatter diffraction, X-ray diffraction transmission microscopy. Compared with addition Al, Ce significantly reduced stacking fault energy TWIP steel, which promotes formation deformation annealing twins. dynamic...

Twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) steel offers high strength and ductility. However, in this study, deformation-induced detwinning was studied to prove that not all twins significantly benefit the mechanical properties. The quasi situ observation results indicated submicron-sized were unstable during Charpy impact loading. In contrast TWIP concept, analysis of geometrically necessary dislocati...

Microstructural evolutions of twinning induced plasticity (TWIP) steel during tensile straining were investigated by in situ SEM observations. The results indicated that slip lines and mechanical twins as well as surface relief were increased with increasing strain, resulting in a stepped surface. Additionally, these deformation mechanisms could change the shape of each grain via shear and rota...

High strength twinning induced plasticity (TWIP) steels have potential for applications in the automotive industry. However, they are prone to hydrogen embrittlement (HE) and galvanic corrosion. Here, we report on susceptibility towards HE oxidation of a model Fe 27Mn 0.3C (wt%) TWIP steel by atom probe tomography. We measured segregation oxygen at grain boundaries, which appears correlated wit...
