Abstract In order to improve the seismic performance of adjacent buildings, two types of tuned inerter damper (TID) damping systems for adjacent buildings are proposed, which are composed of springs, inerter devices and dampers in serial or in parallel. The dynamic equations of TID adjacent building damping systems were derived, and the H₂ norm criterion was used to optimize and adjust them, so that the system had the optimum damping performance under white noise random excitation. Taking TID frequency ratio and damping ratio as optimization parameters, the optimum analytical solutions of the displacement frequency response of the undamped structure under white… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Convolution neural networks in deep learning can solve the problem of damage identification based on vibration acceleration. By combining multiple 1D DenseNet submodels, a new ensemble learning method is proposed to improve identification accuracy. 1D DenseNet is built using standard 1D CNN and DenseNet basic blocks, and the acceleration data obtained from multiple sampling points is brought into the 1D DenseNet training to generate submodels after offset sampling. When using submodels for damage identification, the voting method ideas in ensemble learning are used to vote on the results of each submodel, and then vote centrally. Finally, the cantilever damage problem… More >

Abstract Bent-housing motor is the most widely used directional drilling tool, but it often encounters the problem of high friction when sliding drilling in horizontal wells. In this paper, a mathematical model is proposed to simulate slide drilling with a friction reduction tool of axial vibration. A term called dynamic effective tractoring force (DETF) is defined and used to evaluate friction reduction effectiveness. The factors influencing the DETF are studied, and the tool placement optimization problem is investigated. The study finds that the drilling rate of penetration (ROP) can lower the DETF but does not change the trend of the DETF… More >

Abstract It is a textbook knowledge that the mechanical properties of crystalline solids are determined by the performances of their defects under certain circumstances of external stress and temperature. However, such a belief in crystals meets difficulty in amorphous solids, in which the concept of defect is hard to define. In this talk, I would like to talk about the unusual structure-property of amorphous metals from three different perspectives – in terms of their structural, vibrational and deformation characteristics. We try to build a super structure-property relationship in the general amorphous solids by machine learning strategy after we realized that their… More >

Abstract In the harsh environment, the structural health of the anti-vibration hammer, which suffers from the coupled effects of corrosion and fatigue damage, is significantly reduced. As part of the conductor structure, the anti-vibration hammer is rigidly attached to the conductor, effectively suppressing conductor vibration. The conductor’s breeze vibration law and natural modal frequency are altered damage to the anti-vibration hammer structure. Through built a vibration experiment platform to simulate multiple faults such as anti-vibration hammer head drop off and position slippage, which to obtained the vibration acceleration signal of the conductor. The acceleration vibration signal is processed and analyzed in… More >

Abstract In recent years, high-end equipment is widely used in industry and the accuracy requirements of the equipment have been risen year by year. During the machining process, the high-end equipment failure may have a great impact on the product quality. It is necessary to monitor the status of equipment and to predict fault diagnosis. At present, most of the condition monitoring devices for mechanical equipment have problems of large size, low precision and low energy utilization. A wireless self-powered intelligent spindle vibration acceleration sensor system based on piezoelectric energy harvesting is proposed. Based on rotor sensing technology, a sensor is… More >

Abstract The loss factors and their effects on the magnitude and frequency of resonance peaks in various mechanical systems are reviewed for acoustic, vibration, and vibration fatigue applications. The main trends and relationships were obtained for linear mechanical models with hysteresis damping. The well-known features (complex module of elasticity, total loss factor, etc.) are clarified for practical engineers and students, and new results are presented (in particular, for 2-DOF in-series models with hysteresis friction). The results are of both educational and practical interest and may be applied for NVH analysis and testing, mechanical and aeromechanical design, and noise and vibration control… More >

Abstract Clutch is one of the most significant components in automobiles. To improve passenger safety, reliability and economy of automobiles, advanced supervision and fault diagnostics are required. Condition Monitoring is one of the key divisions that can be used to track the reliability of clutch and allied components. The state of the clutch elements can be monitored with the help of vibration signals which contain valuable information required for classification. Specific drawbacks of traditional fault diagnosis techniques like high reliability on human intelligence and the requirement of professional expertise, have made researchers look for intelligent fault diagnosis techniques.

Abstract A liquid launch vehicle is an important carrier in aviation, and its regular operation is essential to maintain space security. In the safety assessment of fluid launch vehicle body structure, it is necessary to ensure that the assessment model can learn self-response rules from various uncertain data and not differently to provide a traceable and interpretable assessment process. Therefore, a belief rule base with interpretability (BRB-i) assessment method of liquid launch vehicle structure safety status combines data and knowledge. Moreover, an innovative whale optimization algorithm with interpretable constraints is proposed. The experiments are carried out based on the liquid launch… More >

Abstract This paper proposed a new diagnosis model for the stator inter-turn short circuit fault in synchronous generators. Different from the past methods focused on the current or voltage signals to diagnose the electrical fault, the stator vibration signal analysis based on ACMD (adaptive chirp mode decomposition) and DEO3S (demodulation energy operator of symmetrical differencing) was adopted to extract the fault feature. Firstly, FT (Fourier transform) is applied to the vibration signal to obtain the instantaneous frequency, and PE (permutation entropy) is calculated to select the proper weighting coefficients. Then, the signal is decomposed by ACMD, with the instantaneous frequency and… More >
