RELIBILITY EVALUATION OF COMMERCIAL VEHICLE ENGINE AND CHASSIS SYSTEM BASED ON FAULT DATA

“…The reliability of engine and chassis system is the key factor affecting the performance of commercial vehicles.Accurate and comprehensive evaluation of its reliability is of great significance to guide the improvement of commercial vehicle reliability.Based on big data of faults,a reliability evaluation was conducted for the engine and chassis of four commercial vehicles within a specific manufacturing enterprise.All the fault data of the four commercial vehicles in 2021 were collected for preliminary statistical analysis,and a random sample was drawn to form an analysis sample.Based on the U-test to test the difference between the sample and the overall data distribution,the probability density distribution function of the engine and chassis system fault interval was fitted,and it was inferred that the distribution law satisfied the Weibull distribution.The traditional median rank method and kernel density estimation method were used to mutually verify and calculate the distribution parameters of the system.The Kolmogorov-Smirnov(K-S)hypothesis test was used to verify that the sample data of the fault interval time followed the Weibull distribution.The reliability evaluation indexes such as reliability,failure rate and mean time between failures were calculated.After 500 days of driving,the reliability of the four commercial vehicles were 0.002,0.003,0.007 and 3×10-9.The fault rates were 0.021,0.016,0.015 and 0.063.The average time between fault were 146.088,129.492,149.755 and 70.897 days.Based on the reliability evaluation results and fault contents of engine and chassis system,the optimization scheme was proposed to provide reference for the reliability improvement of the commercial vehicle system.…”

Research on 26 GHz mm-wave channel measurements and modeling for outdoor microcells by Shu LI, Xiong-wen ZHAO, Qi WANG, Meng-jun WANG, Shao-hui SUN, Wei HONG

“…Based on the outdoor microce11 measurement campaign at 26 GHz，the path-1oss mode1，shadow fading and other 1arge sca1e parameters（LSPs）in mm-wave band were studied.An optimized c1ustering a1gorithm and Ricean K-factor extraction method was proposed.Differences between parametric and non-parametric mode1ing methodo1ogies，and the impacts on path-1oss and LSPs due to the measurement environments were investigated.The resu1ts show that non-parametric mode1ing method can en1arge the LSPs，especia11y the RMS angu1ar spread.G1ass windows on bui1ding surface and trees have significant effect on LSPs but have 1itt1e effect on path-1oss.The c1uster number has significant reduction at mi11imeter wave band compared to the frequencies be1ow 6 GHz.The channe1 mode1s and parameters deve1oped and extracted in proposed work are usefu1 for the 1ink and system 1eve1 simu1ations as we11 as p1anning of 5G radio systems at 26 GHz.…”
