Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.
A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...nooriasukmaningtyas
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.
DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.
Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

General Methods of the Finite Element Analysis
1. Force Method – Internal forces are considered as the unknowns of the problem.
2. Displacement or stiffness method – Displacements of the nodes are considered
as the unknowns of the problem.
General Steps of the Finite Element Analysis
Discretization of structure > Numbering of Nodes and Elements > Selection of
Displacement function or interpolation function > Define the material behavior by
using Strain – Displacement and Stress – Strain relationships > Derivation of
element stiffness matrix and equations > Assemble the element equations to
obtain the global or total equations > Applying boundary conditions > Solution
for the unknown displacements > computation of the element strains and stresses
from the nodal displacements > Interpret the results (post processing).
Boundary Conditions
It can be either on displacements or on stresses. The boundary conditions on
displacements to prevail at certain points on the boundary of the body, whereas
the boundary conditions on stresses require that the stresses induced must be in
equilibrium with the external forces applied at certain points on the boundary of
the body.
Consideration During Discretization process
Types of element > Size of element > Location of node > Number of elements.

One Dimensional elements
Bar and beam elements are considered as One Dimensional elements. These
elements are often used to model trusses and frame structures.
Bar, Beam and Truss
Bar is a member which resists only axial loads. A beam can resist axial, lateral
and twisting loads. A truss is an assemblage of bars with pin joints and a frame is
an assemblage of beam elements.
Stress, Strain and Displacement
Stress is denoted in the form of vector by the variable x as σx, Strain is denoted in
the form of vector by the variable x as ex, Displacement is denoted in the form of
vector by the variable x as ux.
Types of Loading
(1) Body force (f)
It is a distributed force acting on every elemental volume of the body. Unit
is Force / Unit volume. Ex: Self weight due to gravity.
(2) Traction (T)
It is a distributed force acting on the surface of the body. Unit is
Force / Unit area. But for one dimensional problem, unit is Force / Unit length.
Ex: Frictional resistance, viscous drag and Surface shear.
(3) Point load (P)

Shape function
N1N2N3 are usually denoted as shape function. In one dimensional problem, the
displacement
u = Ni ui =N1 u1
For two noded bar element, the displacement at any point within the element is
given by,
u = Ni ui =N1 u1 + N2 u2
For three noded triangular element, the displacement at any point within the
element is given by,
11. u = Ni ui =N1 u1 + N2 u2 + N3 u3
v = Ni vi =N1 v1 + N2 v2 + N3 v3
Shape function need to satisfy the following
(a) First derivatives should be finite within an element; (b) Displacement should
be continuous across the element boundary.
Polynomial Shape function
Polynomials are used as shape function due to the following reasons,
(1) Differentiation and integration of polynomials are quite easy.
(2) It is easy to formulate and computerize the finite element equations.
(3) The accuracy of the results can be improved by increasing the order of the
polynomial.

Axisymmetric Elements
Most of the three dimensional problems are symmetry about an axis of rotation.
Those types of problems are solved by a special two dimensional element called
as axisymmetric element.

29. UNIT – V ISOPARAMETRIC ELEMENTS FOR TWO DIMENSIONAL
CONTINUUM
Isoparametric element
Generally it is very difficult to represent the curved boundaries by straight edge
elements. A large number of elements may be used to obtain reasonable
resemblance between original body and the assemblage. In order to overcome this
drawback, isoparametric elements are used.
If the number of nodes used for defining the geometry is same as number of nodes
used defining the displacements, then it is known as isoparametric element.
Superparametric element
If the number of nodes used for defining the geometry is more than number of
nodes used for defining the displacements, then it is known as superparametric
element.
Syllabus
The four node quadrilateral – Shape functions – Element stiffness matrix and force
vector – Numerical integration - Stiffness integration – Stress calculations – Four node
quadrilateral for axisymmetric problems.
30. Subparametric element
If the number of nodes used for defining the geometry is less than number of
nodes used for defining the displacements, then it is known as subparametric
element.
