International Journal of Vehicle Systems Modelling and Testing (IJVSMT)

Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • Application on energy storage and allocation decisions of smart grid based on RFPC algorithm   Order a copy of this article
    by Zhixin Ou 
    Abstract: This paper presents a smart grid dispatching operation employing the real function predictive control (RFPC) algorithm that can effectively facilitate decision-making regarding the supply and distribution of electricity. Initially, an intelligent system is utilized to manage energy storage and distribution patterns. Subsequently, logical control rules are implemented to regulate errors. The integration of intelligent decision-making with energy storage yields a fusion effect in balancing stability and robustness. When integral variables undergo changes, the RFPC algorithm allows for adjustments. By comparing traditional PID control with logic control strategy, one can achieve optimal control. Finally, through the use of adaptive learning that involves the selection and comparison of strategies with neural networks, the logical control based on the RFPC operation can be refined. This leads to effective operation and maintenance of substation, including intelligent fault diagnosis and precise decision-making.
    Keywords: smart grid; decision-making; energy storage and distribution; phase plane zoning; pan Boolean operation; logic control rules.

  • Innovative thickness variation strategies for enhancing crashworthiness and lightweight of multi-cell structures   Order a copy of this article
    by HengLi Yu, Tong Pang, Tangying Liu 
    Abstract: Enhancing the crashworthiness and achieving lightweight design of thin-walled structures has become a prevalent research focus nowadays. Traditional approaches to design these structures mainly rely on fixed section and uniform thickness configurations, neglecting the impact of material distribution on the structural energy absorption performance. To provide some beneficial ideas for the material distribution design of energy absorbing structures, topology optimization method is adopted to optimize the material distribution of multi-cell structures and then a series of new energy absorbing topological structures are developed in this study. The optimized structures exhibit a rationalized material allocation with high energy absorption capability. Importantly, this research proposes an effective, straightforward and implementable method for variable thickness design in multi-cell structures.
    Keywords: multi-cell structures; material distribution; topology design; variable thickness method; crashworthiness; lightweight design; energy absorption.
