Along with increasingly development of CAD/CAM software and their application in various industries, minimizing of the machining time is found to be more important. In this paper, firstly the concerning subjects are discussed regarding classification of the optimization techniques. These are programming techniques, high speed machining techniques and feed rate optimization techniques. As a case...

Pressure control valve (PCV) is implemented in internal combustion engine to regulate crankcase pressure. In this study, the performance of a diaphragm PCV valve is investigated numerically and experimentally. Firstly, numerical simulation is carried out using commercial code to predict the flow and pressure distribution inside the valve. Furthermore, downstream and upstream pressure of the val...

With given trip time on each section, conventional train energy-efficient operation problem optimizes the reference speed profile such that the energy consumption for tracking the profile is minimized. Alternatively, this study aims to solve its anti-problem that minimizes the trip time under certain energy constraint, namely the train energyconstraint operation problem. In particular, this stu...

According to the independence, accuracy and controllability of the driving/braking torque of the distributed drive electric vehicle, a control strategy of differential drive assisted steering was designed. Firstly, the assisted curve under different speed and steering wheel torque was developed and the differential torques were distributed to the right and left front wheels. Then the steering r...

As the scale of wind power bases rises, it becomes significant in power system planning and operation to provide detailed correlation characteristic of wind speed in different geographical hierarchies, that is among wind turbines, within a wind farm and its regional wind turbines, and among different wind farms. A new approach to analyze the correlation characteristics of wind speed in differen...
