Comparative Metaheuristic Optimization of PI Controllers for Electric Vehicle Speed Control

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.
This paper presents the design, modeling, and simulation validation of an electric vehicle system, using speed variation as a reference to ensure optimal operation in terms of acceleration and deceleration. First, a conventional PI controller controls the vehicle's speed.

Redistribution of Basal Forces and Shielding Model for Seismic Signals of Debris Flows Over Loose Thin‐Layer Sediments

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Debris flows over riverbeds generate intense basal force fluctuations that radiate seismic signals, offering a key tool for remotely monitoring their dynamics. In steep, highly erosive mountainous channels, bedrock is often covered by a thin layer of loose sediments, which significantly reduce seismic energy.
