CASE STUDY 1
Embedding Energy Intelligence in Robotic Mobility
Case Study Lead - Tulga Ersal, The University of Michigan
with Matt Castanier, U.S. Army TARDEC
Ground robots have proven to be an invaluable technology for the Army, globally supporting missions that
range from detecting and disarming explosives to search and rescue operations. This case study will highlight an
integrated simulation framework for modeling, predicting, and controlling the energy and power during both
planning and execution of a mission. To create such a framework, this case study brings together four ARC
projects that span (1) algorithms for coverage planning with minimal energy, (2) battery electrothermal models for
managing the power source limits, (3) physics-based simulations of terramechanics for predicting the power
requirements of versatile terrains, and (4) online prognostics of remaining mission energy.
The benefits of having such an integrated simulation framework reach beyond improving the mobility of a
robot for a given mission through increased intelligence. The physics based nature of the models included in this
framework also allows for optimizing the system performance through trade space analyses as dictated by the
Interoperability Profiles effort of the Robotic Systems Joint Project Office (RS JPO), an effort to promote modular
design. The framework also enables studying the impact of communication latencies on the performance of the
robot during a remote teleoperation and developing new solutions to compensate for latencies.

1A1: Optimization of the Series-HEV system with Consideration of the Traction Motor Design and the
Impact of Cooling Auxiliary Losses; Xueyu Zhang, Andrej Ivanco, and Zoran Filipi (Clemson U.)
The fidelity of the military hybrid electric vehicle simulation has been increased with the integration of the
finite element electric machine model, in order to address optimization of component design for system level goals.
In-wheel electric motors are considered because their duty cycles differ significantly from commercial HEV
applications. Optimization framework was setup by coupling the vehicle simulation with the constrained
optimization solver. The results guide design changes of the e-machine to achieve best vehicle fuel economy. In
addition, the battery cooling system is integrated with the powertrain to enable analysis of the auxiliary parasitic
loses, and their impact on optimal control strategy. Dynamic programming algorithm is extended to consider two
states, and the results are processed to extract the implementable strategy for maximizing fuel economy. This is a
part of the cross-cutting study in collaboration with ARC members working on thermal management and emachine modeling.
1A2: Powertrain Thermal Management – Integration and Control of a Hybrid Electric Vehicle
Battery Pack, E-Motor Drive, and IC Engine Multiple Loop Cooling System; William Tao and John
Wagner (Clemson U.)
Hybrid electric vehicles combine an internal combustion engine with electric motors and battery pack to
propel the vehicle. This project investigates control strategies for thermal management systems to stabilize the
battery package, e-motor(s), and engine temperatures while minimizing the cooling power consumption.
Mathematical models and controllers have been developed for this integrated vehicle subsystem. A three-state
battery model, with Kalman observer, describes the battery surface and core temperatures plus the cooling air
flowing around the cells. A model predictive controller regulates the refrigerant compressor speed and achieves the
ideal cooling air temperature. Numerical results show reduced compressor power consumption while maintaining
desired battery core temperature can be realized. Finally, e-motor and ICE temperatures must be controlled to
desired ranges.
1A3: Advanced Models for Electric Machines; Heath Hofmann (PI) Kan Zhou (U. of Michigan),
Wesley Zanardelli, Matthew Castanier, Denise Kramer (TARDEC), Lei Hao (GM)
The thermal limitations of electric machines in powertrain applications make knowledge of internal
temperatures in the machine critical. In previous work we developed a thermal model of electric machines using an
eigenmode-based model-order-reduction technique. The result is a thermal model with the accuracy of finite
element models but orders of magnitude faster. Recent efforts have involved the development of a
computationally-efficient loss model for electric machines. The loss and thermal models have been designed so
that their results can be easily and quickly scaled, both in size and in the number of turns, allowing a variety of
machine designs to be quickly generated and simulated. The models above are being used in collaboration with
Prof. Zoran Fillipi’s and Prof. John Wagner’s research groups to conduct an HEV powertrain-level design and
optimization study.
1A4: Improved Density and Temperature Range of In-vehicle Power Converters: High Frequency
Power Supplies for High Temperature Environments; Juan Rivas, Wei Liang (U. of Michigan), M.
Abul Masrur (TARDEC), John Glaser (GE Global Research)
This work presents the design and implementation of a high density 150 V-200 V to 28 V, 200 W-400 W
resonant dc-dc converter with embedded inductors. The converter switches at 13.56 MHz and uses air–core
toroidal inductors fabricated with printed circuit board (PCB) technology. Implementing the inductors with the
PCB eliminates inductance variation, minimizes unwanted stray magnetic fields and parasitics, and reduces
undesired coupling. Hence, the tuning and implementation of the converter are simplified while achieving high
levels of performance and power density. The inductors also maintain stable values over a wide temperature range
without magnetic cores. We describe the advantages of resonant power converter topologies in applications
requiring high density and high performance in demanding environments.

1B1: Simulation and Control of Combustion in Military Diesel Engines; N. A. Henein, A. Shrestha,
Z. Zheng, U. Johsi, R. George and S. Mekhael (Wayne State U.)
The goal of this project is to develop combustion control strategies for military diesel engines to operate
properly on alternate fuels including low-cetane JP-8. Operation on low-CN JP-8 causes power loss, increased fuel
consumption, soot and white smoke which affect survivability, mobility and mission readiness in the field. The
approach is interactive between computer simulations, analytical and experimental investigations. The
investigations utilize IQT constant volume vessel, PNGV single cylinder engine and two production diesel engines.
The developed control strategies include, combustion phasing, pilot injection, split injection, injection rate shaping,
and operation at higher temperatures and pressures.
1B2: A Surrogate For Emulating the Physical and Chemical Properties of Jet Fuel; Angela Violi,
Jason Martz, Doohyun Kim (U of Michigan)
The use of jet fuel in ground vehicles with diesel engines is mandated by the Army’s single battlefield fuel
policy. To model the jet fuel combustion process with CFD, two four-component surrogates, UM1 and UM2, were
formulated to emulate both the physical and chemical properties of a representative real jet fuel. The surrogate
target properties include cetane number, lower heating value, hydrogen to carbon ratio, molecular weight and
temperature dependent density, viscosity, surface tension and distillation characteristics. Properties of the newly
developed surrogates and existing surrogates obtained from the literature were compared to real jet fuel properties.
Simulations of non-reacting jet fuel sprays within a constant volume bomb were performed with the newly
developed and existing surrogates and compared to experimental liquid and vapor spray penetration data.
1B3: Validation of JP-8 Surrogates in an Optical Engine; PI: Marcis Jansons (Wayne State U.)
Validation of JP-8 surrogates is a requirement to establish the fidelity of predictive numerical simulations
used in the design and analysis of combustion systems. In an optical engine, physical and kinetic behaviors of
surrogates are evaluated and compared against the target JP-8 fuel under temperature and pressure history
conditions representative of a combustion cycle. Optical diagnostics are applied to quantify parameters key to the
various phases of the engine combustion process for both target fuels and surrogates. Numerical combustion
simulations using the surrogates are compared against experimentally determined values of liquid lengths,
obtained from laser-induced Mie-scattering images, low temperature reactivity measured by HCHO
chemiluminescence intensity, ignition location determined by laser-induced OH fluorescence, cylinder pressure,
and heat release rate. .
1B4: High Energy Density Asymmetric Capacitors; Levi Thompson (PI), Paul Rasmussen,
Abdoulaye Djire, Priyanka Pande (U. of Michigan)
Batteries are the principal devices used for military and commercial energy storage applications. While
these devices can have energy densities exceeding 100 Wh/kg, this energy is difficult to fully access in pulsed and
high power applications due to the relatively slow kinetics associated with their redox processes. Supercapacitors
offer much higher power densities and could complement batteries in pulsed power applications, however, their
low energy densities are only sufficient for relatively short pulses (a few seconds). Our research is exploring the
feasibility the using asymmetric cell designs and new, high capacity materials to produce asymmetric
supercapacitors with energy densities that out-perform currently available devices and enable applications with
longer pulses. This paper will describe our progress during current funding year including initial results on the
temperature dependence of equivalent series resistance (ESR) for pouch cells, as well as a summary of solution
based chemistries for facile synthesis of VN with high surface areas.

2A1: Ultracapacitor Energy Storage for Improving Fuel Economy and Extending Battery Life in
Heavy Vehicles; Ardalan Vahidi, Yasha Parvini (Clemson U.), Aric Haynes (TARDEC), Vasilios
Tsourapas (Eaton)
In this presentation, an electro-thermal model consisting of an equivalent-circuit electrical model and a
lumped thermal model is proposed and parameterized for cylindrical double layer ultracapacitors. The electrical
and the thermal sub-models are coupled through heat generation and temperature dependency of the electrical
parameters. The electrical and the thermal models are parameterized by pulse-relaxation and drive cycle tests
separately, where the electrical parameters are identified as dependent on temperatures ranging from -40C to 60C,
SOC and current direction. In the next step using the validated battery and ultracapacitor models the sizing of
hybrid energy storage for a hybrid electric heavy duty military vehicle will be addressed..
2A2: Accomplishments and Future Challenges for High Resolution Neutron Imaging as an In Situ
Measurement and Validation Technique for Meso-scale Models of Lithium ion Batteries; Jason
Siegel, Anna Stefanopoulou (U. of Michigan), Yi Ding (TARDEC), Patrick Hagans (Navitas)
Neutron imaging is an in situ measurement technique, similar to X-ray imaging, which is sensitive to
hydrogen and lithium. The changes in intensity of the detected image during cycling of the battery are related to
changes in the local lithium concentration along the beam path. The measurement noise is governed by neutron
counting, which can be modeled as a Poisson random process, allowing us to calculate the measurement
uncertainty as a function of the image exposure time. To improve the signal to noise ratio of the intra-battery
snapshots, spatial averaging over uniform regions of the cell is combined with a novel stroboscopic averaging of
periodically acquired images. Finally techniques to address the challenges of extracting quantitative data to locate
edges in the image with a sub-pixel resolution, and to detect small changes in lithium concentration have been
developed and applied within the last 3 years to a variety of battery cells and duty cycles for validating the dualfoil model.
2A3: Electrochemical-thermal Modeling of Large-format Prismatic Cells; Charles Monroe, Sun Ung
Kim, Lynn Secondo, Anna Stefanopoulou, Jason Siegel (U. of Michigan), Yi Ding (TARDEC), Dyche
Anderson (Ford)
Large-format prismatic Li-ion cells exhibit significant in-plane temperature variation during operation at
high power, which may impact performance and battery life. We will present both experimental data and analytical
theory to illustrate how thermal response is determined by the characteristic properties of materials within the
battery cell. A theory that uses three key parameters (rather than the tens of parameters other models use) predicts
the steady-state temperature distribution in an A123 prismatic cell at various C-rates. The effect of ambient
temperature on thermal response will be investigated in detail. Also we will touch on coupling between the
temperature and interfacial charge-transfer resistance, which may lead to situations in which the in-plane
temperature distribution in a prismatic cell is unstable, causing thermal runaway.
2A4: Combined Experimental and Computational Study of Battery Cooling in Hybrid Electric
Vehicles; Frank He, Yi Ding, Lin Ma (Virginia Tech)
This project studied the thermal management of lithium ion batteries both numerically and experimentally.
Numerically, a high fidelity CFD (computational fluid dynamics) model has been developed to simulate the
detailed dynamics within a battery pack. Experimentally, systematic tests were performed in a wind tunnel to
validate the CFD model. The major contributions from this combined numerical-experimental study are threefold.
First, the CFD model has been shown to capture the dynamics of battery modules consisting of multiple cells,
including temperature non-uniformity. Second, the CFD simulations have been compared directly against
experimental data to quantify its accuracy and validity. Third, the CFD and test data were used in collaborative
efforts to develop reduced-order models for in situ monitoring and control purposes.

Session Co-Chairs: Dr. David Lamb, Dr. Matthew Castanier
2B1: Optimal Crowdsourcing Framework for Engineering Design; Panos Papalambros (U. of
Michigan)
Crowdsourced evaluation is a promising method for evaluating attributes of design concepts that require
human input. One obstacle to obtaining both accurate and comprehensive design evaluations is the signal to noise
ratio of high ability to low ability participants within the crowd. In this paper we introduce a Bayesian network
capable of finding participants with high design evaluation ability, so that their evaluations may be weighted more
than those of the rest of the crowd. The Bayesian network also estimates a score of how well each design concept
performs on each required attribute. Monte Carlo simulation studies were conducted to test the quality of the
Bayesian network on a variety of crowds consisting of participants with different evaluation ability. The results
suggest that the Bayesian network estimates design attribute performance scores much closer to their value than
simply weighting the evaluations from all participants in the crowd equally. This finding holds true even when the
subgroup of high ability participants is a small percentage of the entire crowd..
2B2: An Accelerated Life Testing Methodology for Vehicle Systems using Time-Dependent
Reliability Principles; Zissimos P. Mourelatos1, Igor Baseski2,3, Monica Majcher1,2, Jing Li1, Amandeep
Singh3; 1Oakland U., 2PhD Candidate, Oakland U., 3TARDEC
Reliability usually degrades with time, increasing the product lifecycle cost. It is desirable to use
accelerated testing to predict vehicle reliability using a few tests of short duration. Because vehicle parameters and
excitation are random, many vehicles must be tested which is impractical. To address this challenge, we are
developing an accelerated testing approach based on both experiments and analysis. Our approach uses available
tests to calibrate an approximate simulation model which is then used to determine the failure rate of the vehicle
fleet. We will present an overview of our approach including recently developed methods to estimate failure rates
over a long time using information from tests of short duration, and a subset simulation technique with splitting.
Our goal is to institutionalize our methodology at the TARDEC Physical simulation lab.
2B3: An Efficient Variable Screening Method for Effective Surrogate Models for Reliability-Based
Design Optimization; Hyunkyoo Cho, Sangjune Bae, K.K. Choi (U. of Iowa), David Lamb (TARDEC),
Ren-Jye Yang (Ford)
Surrogate models are often utilized to perform the reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) in
affordable time and cost. However, the dimension of the RBDO problem has to be limited to obtain accurate
surrogate models. Thus, an efficient and effective variable screening method has been developed to identify
important variables in the RBDO process. For variable screening, output variance is calculated efficiently based
on univariate dimension reduction method (DRM); and the variables that induce larger output variance are selected
as important variables using hypothesis testing. Moreover, a quadratic interpolation method is studied in detail to
calculate output variance more efficiently. Using a 44-dimensional example, it is shown that the proposed method
finds important variables efficiently and effectively.
2B4: MultiObjective Decomposition Algorithm for the Battery Thermal Packaging Design; Brian
Dandurand, Paolo Guarneri, Georges Fadel and Margaret M. Wiecek (Clemson U.)
Battery design requires the optimization of cell layout inside the pack while considering thermal aspects.
Simultaneously optimizing the battery shape and position in the vehicle subject to geometric constraints would
result in better overall designs. Since the vehicle and battery design problems are typically addressed by separate
teams and each design is driven by multiple performance criteria, a MultiObjective Decomposition Algorithm
(MODA), coordinating computations based on level-specific information, is developed for computing the Pareto
set of this bilevel problem. A quadratic scalarization, adapted for solving multidisciplinary, multiobjective design
problems, addresses the nonconvexity of the packaging subproblem. Convergence of MODA to Pareto designs
representing tradeoffs within and between the subproblems and the effect of MODA parameters are examined
through numerical runs.

Vehicles; Jiechao Liu, Tulga Ersal, Jeffrey L. Stein (PI) (U. of Michigan), Paramsothy Jayakumar
(TARDEC), James Overholt (AFRL), Steve Rohde, Mitchell Rohde (Quantum Signal
Unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) are gaining importance and finding increased utility in both military
and commercial applications. Historically, UGVs have often been small and teleoperated but current interest is in
much larger fully autonomous vehicles. Due to their size, higher operating speed and ability to navigate more
complicated terrain, these larger size vehicles have significantly different dynamic and, therefore, require
significantly different approach to hazard avoidance algorithms. This talk will present the development of a model
predictive control (MPC) based hazard avoidance algorithm that is aware of the dynamic limitations of the vehicle
and can thus push the vehicle to its limits to maximize its performance. To achieve this, higher fidelity models are
needed to accurately predict the dynamic limitations of the vehicle as previous work by Jayakumar, et al. at
TARDEC shows. The developed MPC obstacle avoidance algorithm is evaluated as a function of the incorporated
model fidelity. Results indicate that mixed fidelity models can potentially be used to achieve good obstacle
avoidance behavior while simultaneously reducing the computation required. A discussion of future research work
will be outlined.

Tech), Paramsothy Jayakumar (TARDEC), Brant Ross (MotionPort), Daniel Christ (Michelin)
The dynamics of tire-terrain interaction plays a significant role in studying off-road vehicle performance.
Tire dynamics is influenced by tire structure and tire-terrain interaction. The proposed model consists of three
layers, each containing discrete masses connected with springs and dampers in various combinations. The
interaction with the terrain is obtained using an innovative dynamic ground contact model, with adaptive boundary
conditions based on tire elements dynamics. Experimental testing has been done to supply data for model
validation. The work was performed using the indoor terramechanics test rig at AVDL that can control slip and
normal load applied to an instrumented tire driving over a deformable soil bed. The tests provided data for tire
deflection, sinkage, drawbar pull, other forces, and moments caused by the tire-soil interaction under various
conditions.
3B3: Flexible Multibody Dynamics Approach for Tire Dynamics Simulation; Hiroyuki Sugiyama (U.
of Iowa), Paramsothy Jayakumar (TARDEC), Ryoji Hanada (Yokohama Rubber)
The structural deformation of tires causes significant changes in the normal and tangential contact pressure
distribution under severe braking and maneuvering conditions, thus the evaluation of the limit performance of tires
requires a comprehensive tire model that accurately accounts for the dynamic coupling between the structural
deformation and the transient tire forces. For this purpose, a nonlinear flexible tire model was developed using the
finite element absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF) that is suited for the large deformation analysis of
flexible multibody systems and the dynamic tire friction model is integrated into this model. Several numerical
examples are presented along with the comparison with experimental results in order to demonstrate the use of the
ANCF tire model. Future research potential of expanding the use of ANCF tire model for offroad mobility use is
also outlined along with its high performance compute potential.
