Modeling and Analysis of the Turning Performance of an Articulated Tracked Vehicle That Considers the Inter-Unit Coupling Forces
On 2025-02-04 by Ningyi Li, Xixia Liu, Hongqian Chen, Yu Zhang @MDPI
Abstract: The interactions between ground reaction forces and inter-unit coupling forces add complexity to the study of the turning motion of articulated tracked vehicles (ATVs). To accurately analyze the turning performance of an ATV, this study developed a steady-state steering model that captures the effects of load transfer caused by coupling and centrifugal forces. First, based on vehicle kinematics under skidding conditions, formulas that incorporate parameters for the lateral track displacement wer[...]
AI summary: Study developed steering model capturing effects of coupling and centrifugal forces. Formulas derived for turning radii calculation. Validation of model using reported data. Analysis showed coupling forces providing driving moments for turning motion.

A Study of Three-Dimensional Vicsek Models
On 2025-02-04 by Poorendra Ramlall, Subhradeep Roy @MDPI
Abstract: This study presents a three-dimensional collective motion model that integrates auditory and visual sensing modalities, inspired by organisms like bats that rely on these senses for navigation. Most existing models of collective motion consider vision-based sensing, likely reflecting an inherent human bias towards visual perception. However, many organisms utilize multiple sensory modalities, and this study explores how the integration of these distinct sensory inputs influences group behavior. [...]
AI summary: Study of three-dimensional Vicsek models integrating auditory and visual sensing, exploring impact on group behavior, demonstrating importance of multiple sensory modalities, potential applications in biological studies and robotic swarms.

A Monte Carlo-Based 3D Compressive Percolation Model for Wearable Pressure Sensors
On 2025-02-04 by Sang-Un Kim, Joo-Yong Kim @MDPI
Abstract: This study employs a Monte Carlo-based 3D compressive percolation model to systematically analyze the electrical behavior of flexible electronic composites under compressive deformation. By simulating the spatial distribution and connectivity of conductive particles, this study identifies six distinct percolation cases, each describing a unique connectivity evolution under strain. The model reveals that excessive initial connectivity leads to saturation effects, reducing sensitivity, while a hig[...]
