  • Patent number: 11977823
    Abstract: In a method for designing a high-rigidity blade based on stochastic isogeometric analysis, the models of stochastic fields of the material property and the external load of the blade are established based on manufacturing conditions and service environment of the blade; an optimization model of the blade is established according to high-rigidity design requirements of the blade and a constraint condition of lift-drag ratio, which is then solved. In the solution procedure, a stochastic isogeometric analysis method is used to calculate the stochastic displacement of the blade under the influence of the randomness of the material property and the external load, and the maximum lift-drag ratio of the blade airfoil is also calculated, based on which the fitness values of individuals in the current population are calculated, so that the high-rigidity design of the blade is realized in the premise of ensuring the lift-drag ratio.

  • Patent number: 11978338
    Abstract: Provided is an intersection deadlock identification method for a mixed flow of autonomous vehicles. This method considers the reality that the intersection traffic flow is composed of human driven vehicles and connected autonomous vehicles. Firstly, the two-dimensional coordinates, speed and front wheel steering angle information of all vehicles in the intersection are obtained, and the blockage graph of vehicles is constructed on the assumption that the front wheel steering angles of all vehicles are fixed. If there is no ring structure in the blockage graph, there is no deadlock; if there is a ring structure, the evasion distance propagation algorithm is used to calculate the evasion requirement distance of a vehicle in the ring. When the evasion requirement distance is greater than the permitted travelling distance of the vehicle itself, a weak traffic deadlock exists.

  • Patent number: 11967907
    Abstract: The invention proposed a space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) method for any level cascaded H-bridge inverter. The multilevel space vector diagram is re-divided, and the coordinates of the nearest three vectors (NTVs) are directly obtained by judging the position of the reference vector. The duty cycles of the NTVs is calculated through additional vector which is equivalent to the reference vector. Then, the switching states are obtained by zero-sequence component and coordinate transformation, and the desired reference vector is synthesized for the SVPWM modulation. The invention realizes multilevel modulation in Cartesian coordinates without any iterative calculation, and the calculation is independent of the level number. Furthermore, the locating of the reference vector and the calculation of the duty cycles are simplified, and the calculation complexity is reduced.
