Abstract
This research presents an advanced study on the modeling and stability analysis of electro-hydraulic control modules used in intelligent chassis systems. Firstly, a comprehensive nonlinear mathematical model of the electro-hydraulic power-shift system is developed, incorporating pipeline characteristics through impedance analysis and examining coupling effects between the pilot solenoid valve, main valve, and pipeline. Then, the model's accuracy is validated through experimental testing, demonstrating high precision and minimal model errors. A comparative analysis between simulation data (both with and without pipeline characteristics) and experimental results reveals that the model considering pipeline parameters aligns more closely with experimental data, highlighting its superior accuracy. The research further explores the influence of key factors on system stability, including damping coefficient, feedback cavity orifice diameter, spring stiffness, pipeline length, and pipeline diameter. Significant findings include the critical impact of damping coefficient, orifice diameter, and pipeline length on stability, while spring stiffness has a minimal effect. These findings provide valuable insights for optimizing electro-hydraulic control modules in intelligent chassis systems, with practical implications for automotive and construction machinery applications.
1. Introduction
The development of intelligent chassis systems represents a significant advancement in automotive engineering, aiming to enhance vehicle performance, safety, and comfort through sophisticated control mechanisms. Electro-hydraulic systems combine hydraulic and electrical technologies to provide precise control and improved performance over traditional hydraulic systems. The fundamental principle involves using electrical signals to control hydraulic actuators, which in turn regulate fluid flow and pressure in response to system demands. These systems are integral to modern automotive applications, such as automated transmissions [1–3], advanced suspension systems [4], brake systems [5] and steering systems [6, 7], where they offer significant improvements in response time, accuracy, and reliability.
Among the critical actuators facilitating automatic control, the electro-hydraulic power-shift system (EHPSS) has emerged as a focal point due to its substantial impact on actuator performance [8]. To meet the requirements for high power, rapid response, and high reliability, a two-stage structure is often adopted in EHPSS for high-power electro-hydraulic shifting systems, such as those used in wet clutches [9, 10]. This configuration typically consists of a high-speed pilot solenoid valve, an amplifier-stage main valve, and an oil pipeline [11, 12]. Despite extensive research efforts aimed at improving the system's response characteristics, fully understanding the detailed working mechanisms of EHPSS remains challenging.

Direct Repair of the Crystal Structure and Coating Surface of Spent LiFePO4 Materials Enables Superfast Li-Ion Migration
The rapid accumulation of spent LiFePO4 (LFP) cathodes from retired lithium-ion batteries necessitates the development of effective and environmental-friendly recycling strategies. In this context, direct regeneration has emerged as a promising approach for reclaiming LFP cathode materials, offering a streamlined pathway to restore their electrochemical functionality. We report an integrated regeneration protocol that simultaneously repairs the degraded crystal structure and reconstructs the damaged carbon coating in spent LFP. The regenerated cathode material had superfast lithium-ion diffusion kinetics and a stable cathode–electrolyte interface, giving a remarkable rate capability with specific capacities of 122 mAh g−1 at 5C and 106 mAh g−1 at 10C (1C = 170 mA g−1). It also maintained capacities of 110.7 mAh g−1 (5C) and 84.1 mAh g−1 (10C) after 400 cycles. It could be used in harsh environments and could be stably cycled at subzero temperatures (−10 and −20 °C) and in solid-state electrolyte batteries. Life cycle assessment combined with economic evaluation using the EverBatt model reveals that this direct regeneration approach has high economic and environmental benefits.
Oxide Semiconductor for Advanced Memory Architectures: Atomic Layer Deposition, Key Requirement and Challenges
Oxide semiconductors (OSs), introduced by the Hosono group in the early 2000s, have evolved from display backplane materials to promising candidates for advanced memory and logic devices. The exceptionally low leakage current of OSs and compatibility with three-dimensional (3D) architectures have recently sparked renewed interest in their use in semiconductor applications. This review begins by exploring the unique material properties of OSs, which fundamentally originate from their distinct electronic band structure. Subsequently, we focus on atomic layer deposition (ALD), a core technique for growing excellent OS films, covering both basic and advanced processes compatible with 3D scaling. The basic surface reaction mechanisms—adsorption and reaction—and their roles in film growth are introduced. Furthermore, material design strategies, such as cation selection, crystallinity control, anion doping, and heterostructure engineering, are discussed. We also highlight challenges in memory applications, including contact resistance, hydrogen instability, and lack of p-type materials, and discuss the feasibility of ALD-grown OSs as potential solutions. Lastly, we provide an outlook on the role of ALD-grown OSs in memory technologies. This review bridges material fundamentals and device-level requirements, offering a comprehensive perspective on the potential of ALD-driven OSs for next-generation semiconductor memory devices.
Laser powder bed fusion of biodegradable Zn-4Cu alloy: Processing, microstructure and properties
Zn's natural degradability and biocompatibility make it a promising candidate for implants, however, its mechanical properties remain insufficient for bone applications. In this study, the performance of Zn was enhanced by developing Zn-Cu alloys via laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). Optimal LPBF parameters for forming stable tracks were achieved by adjusting laser power and scanning speed. Under optimized conditions of 100 W and 100 mm/s, high-density (99.58%) Zn-Cu alloys with improved hardness (68.2HV) and yield strength (160 MPa) were achieved. These improvements are attributed to solid solution strengthening, segregation strengthening, and grain refinement. The Zn-Cu alloys also demonstrated favorable degradation behavior, with a rate of 0.16 mm/year. This degradation is primarily driven by micro-galvanic corrosion between the CuZn5 phase and Zn matrix, along with refined grains and increased grain boundary density. This work demonstrates a viable strategy for fabricating Zn-based implants with enhanced structural integrity and mechanical performance via LPBF.
