Sensing and Control During Bulk SPP

Abstract

In this work, we use the thermoelectricity to directly measure the temperature at different radial positions within instrumented Al1100 billets during friction extrusion. Site-specific and uninterrupted temperature measurements were possible by measuring the local voltages at several thermoelectric junctions consisting of aluminum-nickel pairs during extrusion. Measurements were conducted for a constant die rotation speed of 150 RPM and different extrusion feed rates of 2, 8, 32, and 80 mm.min-1. X-ray computed tomography was used to locate the positions of the thermoelectric junctions inside the processed billet, thus allowing for site-specific microstructural characterization at the precise measurement points. Smooth particle hydrodynamic modeling allowed to determine the thermal, strain, and strain rate fields developing during FE. The applicability and limitations of this temperature measurement approach are discussed as a function of the peak extrusion and torsion stresses relative to the matrix of extrusion feed rates.

Large language models for transportation research: Methodologies, state of the art, and future opportunities

The rapid rise of large language models (LLMs) is transforming transportation research, with significant advancements emerging between 2023 and 2025, a period marked by the inception and swift growth of adopting and adapting LLMs for various transportation applications. Despite these significant advancements, however, a systematic review and synthesis of the existing literature remains lacking. This paper aims to fill this gap by providing a comprehensive review of the methodologies and applications of LLMs in transportation. We explore key applications, including autonomous driving, travel behavior prediction, and general transportation-related queries, alongside LLM methodologies such as zero- or few-shot learning, prompt engineering, and fine-tuning. From the review, critical research gaps are identified. From the methodological perspective, many of the research limitations can be addressed by integrating LLMs with existing tools and refining LLM architectures. From the application perspective, research opportunities for LLMs to address various transportation challenges are also explored. By synthesizing these findings, this review not only presents the state-of-the-art LLM adoption and adaptation in transportation, but also proposes future research directions as well as insights and recommendations for policymakers and practitioners, paving the way for greater LLM-driven research innovations in transportation in the future.
