Universal Simulation Model of Battery Degradation with Optimization of Parameters by Genetic Algorithm by K. V. Dobrego, I. A. Koznacheev

“…A simple empirical model is presented that does not consider in detail the characteristics of the state of batteries during a separate charge-discharge cycle, and does not include voltaic variables. The model considers the intensity of the current wear of the battery as a function of the state of its charge, temperature, the current of the external circuit and the current of self-discharge, the full charge that has flowed through the battery since the beginning of its operation. …”

Optimisation of the performance and structure of soluble ball seat metal sealing rings based on response surface by CHEN Zhen, RAN Qingjie, CHEN Nengpeng, WANG Qiaomu

“…The increase of groove parameters (groove width and depth) can enhance the contact pressure, and at the same time, increase the equivalent stress, which may lead to local strength deficiency.Through the sensitivity analysis, the sensitivity coefficients of the radius of the metal seal ring to the equivalent force and contact pressure were found to reach 0.67 and 0.82, which were the dominant variables affecting the sealing performance; the width and depth of the grooves regulated the stress distribution through the geometric compensation mechanism. …”
