Engine knock is an undesirable combustion that could damage the engine mechanically. On the other hand, it is often desired to operate the engine close to its borderline knock limit to optimize combustion efficiency. Traditionally, borderline knock limit is detected by sweeping tests of related control parameters for the worst knock, which is expensive and time consuming, and also, the detected borderline knock limit is often used as a feedforward control without considering its stochastic characteristics without compensating current engine operational condition and type of fuel used. In this paper, stochastic Bayesian optimization method is used to obtain a tradeoff between stochastic knock intensity and fuel economy. The log-nominal distribution of knock intensity signal is converted to Gaussian one using a proposed map to satisfy the assumption for Kriging model development. Both deterministic and stochastic Kriging surrogate models are developed based on test data using the Bayesian iterative optimization process. This study focuses on optimizing two competing objectives, knock intensity and indicated specific fuel consumption using two control parameters: spark and intake valve timings. Test results at two different operation conditions show that the proposed learning algorithm not only reduces required time and cost for predicting knock borderline but also provides control parameters, based on trained surrogate models and the corresponding Pareto front, with the best fuel economy possible.

In the paper, we discuss the development of a model for PZT bimorph actuators used to power micro-air vehicles including Robobee. Due to highly dynamic drive regimes required for the actuators, models must quantify the nonlinear, hysteretic, and rate-dependent behavior inherent to PZT in these regimes. We employ the homogenized energy model (HEM) framework to model the actuator dynamics and numerically we illustrate the capability of the model to characterize the inherent hysteresis. This provides a comprehensive model, which can be inverted and implemented for certain control regimes.

In the paper, we discuss the development of a high-fidelity and surrogate model for a PZT bimorph used as an actuator for micro-air vehicles including Robobee. The models must quantify the nonlinear, hysteretic, and rate-dependent behavior inherent to PZT in dynamic operating regimes. The actuator dynamics are initially modeled using the homogenized energy model (HEM) framework. This provides a comprehensive high-fidelity model, which can be inverted and implemented in real time for certain control regimes. To improve efficiency, we additionally discuss the development of data-driven models and focus on the implementation of a surrogate model based on a dynamic mode decomposition (DMD). Finally, we detail the design and implementation of a PI controller on the surrogate and high-fidelity models.
