Recently, additive manufacturing (AM) technology such as powder bed fusion (PBF) and directed energy deposition (DED) are actively attempted as consumers' needs for parts with complex shapes and expensive materials. In the present work, the effect of processing parameters on the mechanical properties of 316L stainless steel coupons fabricated by PBF and DED AM technology was investigated. Three major mechanical tests, including tension, impact, and fatigue, were performed on coupons extracted from the standard components at angles of 0, 45, 90 degrees for the build layers, and compared with those of investment casting and commercial wrought products. Austenitic 316L stainless steel additively manufactured have been well known to be generally stronger but highly vulnerable to impact and lack in elongation compared to casting and wrought materials. The process-induced pore density has been proved the most critical factor in determining the mechanical properties of AM-built metal parts. Therefore, it was strongly recommended to reduce those lack of fusion defects as much as possible by carefully control the energy density of the laser. For example, under the high energy density conditions, PBF-built parts showed 46% higher tensile strength but more than 75% lower impact strength than the wrought products. However, by optimizing the energy density of the laser of the metal AM system, it has been confirmed that it is possible to manufacture metal parts that can satisfy both strength and ductility, and thus it is expected to be actively applied in the field of electric power section soon.

In this paper, an electric vehicle drives with efficient control and low cost hardware using four quadrant DC converter with Permanent Magnet Direct Current (PMDC) motor fed by DC boost converter is presented. The main idea of this work is to improve the energy efficiency of the conversion chain of an electric vehicle by inserting a boost converter between the battery and the four quadrant-DC motor chopper assembly. Consequently, this method makes it possible to maintain the amplification gain of the 4 quadrant chopper constant regardless of the battery voltage drop and even in the presence of a fault in the battery. One of the most important control problems is control under heavy uncertainty conditions. The higher order sliding mode control technique is introduced for the adjustment of DC bus voltage and mechanical motor speed. To implement the proposed approach in the automotive field, experimental tests were carried out. The performances obtained show the usefulness of this system for a better energy management of an electric vehicle and an ideal control under different operating conditions and constraints, mostly at nominal operation, in the presence of a load torque, when reversing the direction of rotation of the motor speed and even in case of battery chamber failure. The whole system has been tested experimentally and its performance has been analyzed.

Low fertility rates and increased life expectancy further exacerbate the process of an aging society. This is also reflected in the gradual increase in the proportion of vulnerable groups in the social population. The demand for improved mobility among vulnerable groups such as the elderly or the disabled has greatly driven the growth of the electric-assisted mobility device market. However, such mobile devices generally require a certain operating capability, which limits the range of vulnerable groups who can use the device and increases the cost of learning. Therefore, autonomous driving technology needs to be introduced to make mobility easier for a wider range of vulnerable groups to meet their needs of work and leisure in different environments. This study uses mini PC Odyssey, Velodyne Lidar VLP-16, electronic device and Linux-based ROS program to realize the functions of working environment recognition, simultaneous localization, map generation and navigation of electric powered mobile devices for vulnerable groups. This autonomous driving mobility device is expected to be of great help to the vulnerable who lack the immediate response in dangerous situations.

This work describes the effect of electrode binder on the characteristics of electric double layer capacitor. Among carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA), and Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF), the unit cell using CMC showed good rate capability at current densities between 2.5 mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$～100 mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$. However, CMC as a binder is incongruent, because the electrode bound with CMC is rigid and easy to crack during a press and winding process for fabrication of capacitor. The unit cell capacitor using the electrode bound with binary binder composed of CMC and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), especially in composition CMC : PTFE =60 : 40 wt.%, has exhibited the better mechanical properties than those of the unit cell with CMC. On the other hand, the mechanical properties of CMC+PTFE electrode, coated on underlayer composed of CMC and carbon black, were much improved.

This work describes the effect of the number of roll pressing and the composition of carbon black on the electric and mechanical properties of carbon-PTFE electrode, in which composition is MSP20 : carbon black : $PTFE\;=\;95-X\;:\;X\;:\;5wt.\%$. It was found that the best electric and mechanical properties were obtained for sheet electrode roll pressed about 15 times and for sheet electrode, in which composition is MSP20 : carton black $PTFE\;=\;80\;:\;15\;:\;5wt.\%$. These behaviors could be explained by the network structure of PTFE fibrils and conducting Paths linked with carbon blacks, respectively. On the other hand, cell capacitor using the sheet electrode with $15wt.\%$ of carbon black attached on aluminum current collector with the electric conductive adhesive, in composition is carbon black $CMC\;=\;70\;:\;30wt.\%$, has exhibited the best rate capability between $0.5\;mA/cm^2\~100\;mA/cm^2$ current density and the lowest ESR.

The effect of $MoS_2$ and graphite content on wear resistance and mechanical properties of Cu/Sn bonded diamond micro blades was comparatively investigated in terms of volume and weight fraction. For the evaluation of endurance and cutting performance, instantaneous electric power consumption and cumulative wear loss during cutting glass work piece at constant velocity were measured with the micro blades of the wide range of lubricant content. The energy consumption of blades for glass cutting decreased with the content of lubricants. Wear amount of blade in volume increased with the amount of lubricant addition. It was found to be relevant to the decrease in flexural strength and hardness with the amount of lubricants. With the same amount of lubricant content in volume fraction $MoS_2$ showed superiority in mechanical properties and cutting performance than graphite while graphite could result in stronger effect on lowering electric consumption during cutting work piece for the same weight percent fraction than $MoS_2$ because of lower density.

To overcome a climate change, manufacturing complex-shaped electric mobility parts becomes one of the important issues for enhancing a performance of motor with reducing their weight. Therefore, development of laser-based additive manufacturing shed on light due to their flexible manufacturing capacity that can be suitable to solve the poor formability of Fe-Si alloys for electric mobility parts. Although there are several studies existed to optimize the performance of additively manufactured Fe-Si alloys, the post-annealing effect was not well investigated yet though this is important to control the texture and mechanical properties of additively manufactured parts. In the present work, annealing effect on the mechanical property and microstructure of additively manufactured Fe-4.5Si alloy was investigated. Because of the ordered phase initiation after annealing, the hardness of additively manufactured Fe-4.5Si alloy increased up to 1173 K while a hardness drop occurs at the 1273 K condition due to the micro-crack initiation. The response surface methodology result represents the 1173 K-5 h sample is an optimal condition to maximize the mechanical property of additively manufactured alloy without micro-cracks.
