Condition monitoring is a part of the predictive maintenance approach applied to detect and prevent unexpected equipment failures by monitoring machine conditions. Early detection of equipment failures in industrial systems can greatly reduce scrap a...

In order to reduce the switching loss and cost, as well as improve the reliability of the induction motor (IM) drive system, the technology involving the three-phase current reconstruction of 60° discontinuous pulse width modulation (DPWM2) is st...

This paper presents a review of the recent trends and the current state of the art in the application of fiber optic fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) sensing technology to condition the monitoring (CM) and testing of practical electric machinery and the as...

This paper proposes a novel, fast, and automatic modeling method to build a virtual model with minimum degrees of freedom (DOFs) without the need for FE models or human judgment. The proposed program uses the iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm t...

Automated driving is a promising tool for reducing traffic accidents. While some companies claim that many cutting-edge automated driving functions have been developed, how to evaluate the safety of automated vehicles remains an open question, which...

The flexible job shop scheduling problem (FJSP) is of great importance for realistic manufacturing, and the problem has been proven to be NP-hard (non-deterministic polynomial time) because of its high computational complexity. To optimize makespan a...

In order to improve the performance of magnetorheological dampers under impact load, a double-rod magnetorheological damper is designed in this paper, and its multi-physical field coupling model is established. The performance of a double-rod magneto...

The flight control effects and flight quality of the aircraft are influenced by the flap actuation system directly. The main motivation of this research is to develop a rigid-flexible model of the flap actuation system with clearance and to explore t...

Knuckle parts have a complex relationship with adjacent vehicle parts, making it difficult to determine the proper fatigue evaluation specification when considering vehicle operation. An accelerated triaxial load case for the knuckle part was derived...

To investigate the influence law and mechanism of the relative circumferential position of intake struts on the unsteady load and vibration of the first stage rotor, the first 1.5-stage of a heavy-duty gas turbine compressor with intake struts was nu...
