Mathematical model of controlled vane hydraulic shock absorber by S. V. Kozeletov, S. V. Saveliev

“…Method of calculation is proposed and theoretical studies are performed on influence of change of volume flow rate of working medium of shock absorber in MR throttle on forces of resistance to rotation on shaft of shock absorber blade.The results of theoretical research. 1) Results of theoretical studies of change of volume flow rate of working medium of controlled hydraulic blade shock absorber are presented. 2) An adequate mathematical model is obtained that is suitable for calculating the characteristics of controlled (adjustable) hydraulic vane shock absorbers, where magnetorheological fluid is used as the working medium of the shock absorber, as well as for selecting control action in the control system. Conclusion. The results of the study are intended for organizations and enterprises engaged in the development and production of heavy high-speed tracked vehicles.The results of the studies can be used to refine the methodology for estimating the smoothness of the heavy high-speed tracked vehicles.…”

An Optimized Path Planning Method for Coastal Ships Based on Improved DDPG and DP by Yiquan Du, Xiuguo Zhang, Zhiying Cao, Shaobo Wang, Jiacheng Liang, Fengge Zhang, Jiawei Tang

“…Firstly, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) is used to improve the network structure of DDPG, which uses the historical state information to approximate the current environmental state information, so that the predicted action is more accurate. On the other hand, the traditional reward function of DDPG may lead to low learning efficiency and convergence speed of the model. …”

Navigating Fragmented Globalization: Local Content Policies in a New Trade Order by Yudan Whulanza, Eny Kusrini, Akhmad Hidayatno, Teuku Yuri M. Zagloel

“…These developments have accelerated a new wave of industrial policies, guided less by economic efficiency and more by strategic imperatives such as national security, supply chain resilience, and technological sovereignty (Cui and Jiang, 2025; Ju et al., 2024; Whulanza, 2023).This geopolitical shift has diminished the influence of established trade bodies such as the World Trade Organization (WTO), which in the past has become a symbol of the globalization of trade. As countries increasingly favour bilateral agreements and unilateral trade actions over multilateral discussions, tools like tariffs, export controls, and investment restrictions have regained prominence (Dang et al., 2024). …”
