In order to investigate the rounding process of high precision centerless grinding in time domain reliably and predictably, a virtual machine design approach is essential particularly towards 0.1–0.3μm roundness precision. The virtual machine system presented in this paper is developed through high-level integration of the machine characteristics, workpiece rounding mechanism and their intrinsic correlation. In this system, the primary elements affecting the workpiece roundness regeneration, including kinematics, dynamics and control of the machine, grinding dynamics and machining conditions, are integrated into the high precision virtual centerless grinding to render the rounding process, evaluate the machine performance and optimize grinding strategies accordingly. An application case study on virtual machining of the targeted workpiece roundness 0.1μm is provided to present the implementation perspectives of the virtual machine system for high precision centerless grinding.

In this paper, a novel active yaw stabilizer (AYS) system is proposed for improving vehicle lateral stability control. The introduced AYS, inspired by the recent in-wheel motor (IWM) technology, has two degrees-of-freedom with independent self-rotating and orbiting movements. The dynamic model of the AYS is first developed. The capability of the AYS is then investigated to show its maximum generation of corrective lateral forces and yaw moments, given a limited vehicle space. Utilizing the high-level Lyapunov-based control design and the low-level control allocation design, a hierarchical control architecture is established to integrate the AYS control with active front steering (AFS) and direct yaw moment control (DYC). To demonstrate the advantages of the AYS, generating corrective lateral force and yaw moment without relying on tire–road interaction, double lane change maneuvers are studied on road with various tire–road friction coefficients. Co-simulation results, integrating CarSim® and MATLAB/Simulink®, successfully verify that the vehicle with the assistance of the AYS system has better lateral dynamics stabilizing performance, compared with cases in which only AFS or DYC is applied.

As the four-wheel steering (4WS) system has great potentials, many researchers' attention was attracted to this technique and active research was made. As a result, passenger cars equipped with 4WS systems were put on the market a few years ago. This report tries to identify the essential elements of the 4WS technology in terms of vehicle dynamics and control techniques. Based on the findings of this investigation, the report gives a mechanism of electronically controlling the steering system depending on the variable pressure applied on it. This enhances the controlling and smoothens the operation of steering mechanism.
