Abstract The blades of wind turbines located at high latitudes are often covered with ice in late autumn and winter, where this affects their capacity for power generation as well as their safety. Accurately identifying the icing of the blades of wind turbines in remote areas is thus important, and a general model is needed to this end. This paper proposes a universal model based on a Deep Neural Network (DNN) that uses data from the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. Two datasets from SCADA are first preprocessed through undersampling, that is, they are labeled, normalized, and balanced. The… More >

Abstract A large amount of data can partly assure good fitting quality for the trained neural networks. When the quantity of experimental or on-site monitoring data is commonly insufficient and the quality is difficult to control in engineering practice, numerical simulations can provide a large amount of controlled high quality data. Once the neural networks are trained by such data, they can be used for predicting the properties/responses of the engineering objects instantly, saving the further computing efforts of simulation tools. Correspondingly, a strategy for efficiently transferring the input and output data used and obtained in numerical simulations to neural networks… More >

Abstract The existing strategy for evaluating the damage condition of structures mostly focuses on feedback supplied by traditional visual methods, which may result in an unreliable damage characterization due to inspector subjectivity or insufficient level of expertise. As a result, a robust, reliable, and repeatable method of damage identification is required. Ensemble learning algorithms for identifying structural damage are evaluated in this article, which use deep convolutional neural networks, including simple averaging, integrated stacking, separate stacking, and hybrid weighted averaging ensemble and differential evolution (WAE-DE) ensemble models. Damage identification is carried out on three types of damage. The proposed algorithms are… More >

Abstract In this paper, a self-triggered consensus filtering is developed for a class of discrete-time distributed filtering systems. Different from existing event-triggered filtering, the self-triggered one does not require to continuously judge the trigger condition at each sampling instant and can save computational burden while achieving good state estimation. The triggering policy is presented for pre-computing the next execution time for measurements according to the filter’s own data and the latest released data of its neighbors at the current time. However, a challenging problem is that data will be asynchronously transmitted within the filtering network because each node self-triggers independently. Therefore,… More >

Abstract This paper studies the parameter estimation problems of the nonlinear systems described by the bilinear state space models in the presence of disturbances. A bilinear state observer is designed for deriving identification algorithms to estimate the state variables using the input-output data. Based on the bilinear state observer, a novel gradient iterative algorithm is derived for estimating the parameters of the bilinear systems by means of the continuous mixed p-norm cost function. The gain at each iterative step adapts to the data quality so that the algorithm has good robustness to the noise disturbance. Furthermore, to improve the performance of… More >

Abstract Given one specific image, it would be quite significant if humanity could simply retrieve all those pictures that fall into a similar category of images. However, traditional methods are inclined to achieve high-quality retrieval by utilizing adequate learning instances, ignoring the extraction of the image’s essential information which leads to difficulty in the retrieval of similar category images just using one reference image. Aiming to solve this problem above, we proposed in this paper one refined sparse representation based similar category image retrieval model.

Abstract Healthcare systems nowadays depend on IoT sensors for sending data over the internet as a common practice. Encryption of medical images is very important to secure patient information. Encrypting these images consumes a lot of time on edge computing; therefore, the use of an auto-encoder for compression before encoding will solve such a problem. In this paper, we use an auto-encoder to compress a medical image before encryption, and an encryption output (vector) is sent out over the network. On the other hand, a decoder was used to reproduce the original image back after the vector was received and decrypted.… More >

However, the use of fuzzy weighted mean to integrate Z-valuations may have some drawbacks and is not suitable for some situations. In this paper, an improved method is proposed based on Z-numbers and the graded mean integration representation (GMIR) to deal with the uncertain information in FMEA.

Therefore, the current closed-loop for suppressing 6k ± 1 harmonics is essential to meet the desired total harmonic distortion (THD).

Abstract Deep neural networks are now widely used in the medical image segmentation field for their performance superiority and no need of manual feature extraction. U-Net has been the baseline model since the very beginning due to a symmetrical U-structure for better feature extraction and fusing and suitable for small datasets. To enhance the segmentation performance of U-Net, cascaded U-Net proposes to put two U-Nets successively to segment targets from coarse to fine. However, the plain cascaded U-Net faces the problem of too less between connections so the contextual information learned by the former U-Net cannot be fully used by the… More >

Abstract Target detection is an important research content in the radar field. At present, efforts are being made to optimize the precision of detection information. In this paper, we use the high pulse repetition frequency (HPRF) transmission method and orthogonal biphase coded signals in each pulse to avoid velocity ambiguity and range ambiguity of radar detection. In addition, We also apply Walsh matrix and genetic algorithm (GA) to generate satisfying orthogonal biphase coded signals with low auto-correlation sidelobe peak and cross-correlation peak, which make the results more accurate. In a radar receiver, data rearrangement of echo signals is performed, and then… More >

Abstract Accurate prediction of ship motion is very important for ensuring marine safety, weapon control, and aircraft carrier landing, etc. Ship motion is a complex time-varying nonlinear process which is affected by many factors. Time series analysis method and many machine learning methods such as neural networks, support vector machines regression (SVR) have been widely used in ship motion predictions. However, these single models have certain limitations, so this paper adopts a multi-model prediction method. First, ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) is used to remove noise in ship motion data. Then the random forest (RF) prediction model optimized by genetic algorithm… More >

Abstract The utilization of solar energy is essential to all living things since the beginning of time. In addition to being a constant source of energy, solar energy (SE) can also be used to generate heat and electricity. Recent technology enables to convert the solar energy into electricity by using thermal solar heat. Solar energy is perhaps the most easily accessible and plentiful source of sustainable energy. Copper-based nanofluid has been considered as a method to improve solar collector performance by absorbing incoming solar energy directly. The goal of this research is to explore theoretically the Agrawal axisymmetric flow induced by… More >

Abstract In the present manuscript, a Layer-Wise (LW) generalized model is proposed for the linear static analysis of doublycurved shells constrained with general boundary conditions under the influence of concentrated and surface loads. The unknown field variable is modelled employing polynomials of various orders, each of them defined within each layer of the structure. As a particular case of the LW model, an Equivalent Single Layer (ESL) formulation is derived too. Different approaches are outlined for the assessment of external forces, as well as for non-conventional constraints. The doubly-curved shell is composed by superimposed generally anisotropic laminae, each of them characterized… More >
