A review of mobility metrics for next generation vehicle mobility models

In the United States, the NATO Reference Mobility Model (NRMM) has been used for evaluating military ground vehicle mobility and the Vehicle Cone Index (VCI) has been selected as a mobility metric. VCI represents the minimum soil strength required for a vehicle to consistently make a specific number of passes, usually one or fifty passes. In the United Kingdom, the Mean Maximum Pressure (MMP) has been adopted as a metric for assessing military vehicle cross-country mobility. MMP is the mean value of the maxima occurring under all the wheel stations of a vehicle. Both VCI and MMP are empirically based. This paper presents a review of the basis upon which VCI and MMP were developed, as well as their applications to evaluating vehicle mobility in practice. With the progress in terramechanics and in modelling and simulation techniques in recent years, there is a growing desire to develop physics-based mobility metrics for next generation vehicle mobility models. Based on the review, criteria for selecting physics-based mobility metrics are proposed. Following these criteria, metrics for characterizing military vehicle traction limits and traversability on a given operating area are recommended.     

Evaluation of drawbar performance of winter tyres for special purpose vehicles

Driving on ice is still a risky activity. Research has investigated the factors contributing to the friction mechanism and has reported experimental studies of pneumatic tyres on ice in order to develop models that predict tractive and braking performance on ice/snow. Therefore, developing testing methods to obtain relevant experimental data for the validation of models is equally important.There are agricultural and industrial vehicles which are also designed for pulling but there are no specific studies reporting experimental tests on traction force of such machines in snowy conditions. However, this issue is very topical, as demonstrated by the appearance on the market of winter tyres for such vehicles.This study presents a method for testing winter tyres in outdoor test facilities with a focus on traction performance. The conclusions will serve in future investigations as a concise knowledge source to develop improved testing facilities and tyre–ice interaction models, aiding the development of better tyre designs and improved vehicle safety systems.The functional tests hereafter described have been carried out with the aim of evaluating the possibility of measuring the influences of different technique solutions on the performance of certain 17.5 R25 sized industrial tyres.     

Electrochemical C–H/N–H cross-coupling of 2-phenylindolizines with phenothiazines to synthesize novel N-aryl phenothiazine derivatives

A facile and elegant method for synthesis of novel N–aryl phenothiazine derivatives from 2-phenylindolizines and phenothiazines through direct electrochemical oxidation has been developed. This approach was performed smoothly at room temperature without external oxidant and catalyst. Cyclic voltammetry and in situ FTIR techniques were applied to analyze the cross-coupling process of phenothiazines and 2-phenylindolizines, which helped to select the appropriate reaction potential. Under the optimized conditions, a broad range of substrates were well tolerated, affording the desired products in moderate to excellent isolated yields (up to 91%) with high regioselectivity. Meanwhile, a plausible mechanism involving a radical pathway has been proposed.

分别在EDTA,甘氨酸(Gly)和木质素磺酸钠(Ls)存在下,以硼氢化钠为还原剂,将Pd²⁺还原为Pd纳米颗粒并负载在多壁碳纳米管(MWCNT)表面。采用扫描电镜(SEM),透射电镜(TEM)和X射线衍射(XRD)对纳米Pd催化剂的形貌和微结构进行了表征。结果表明:EDTA存在时,所形成的Pd纳米颗粒(Pd-EDTA/MWCNT)的粒径更小,在MWCNT上的分散度更高。采用循环伏安(CV)和计时伏安技术(CA),研究了催化剂在碱性环境中对乙醇的电催化活性。在碱性溶液中对乙醇氧化的电化学研究表明:在Pd-EDTA/MWCNT催化剂上,乙醇氧化反应的起始电位较低,电流密度最大,电子传递阻力较小,反应速率较大,并且对乙醇氧化的电催化活性保持稳定。     

Near-infrared Responsive Photoelectrochemical Biosensors

Near-infrared (NIR) light-driven photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing is a highly promising analytical technique, especially for in situ bioanalysis, due to the deep penetration capability and minimal invasiveness of NIR light. In this mini review, we provide a brief overview of recently developed NIR PEC sensors, focusing on NIR light-responsive materials and the representative applications of this type of PEC sensor.
