This paper presents a new approach to machine health monitoring based on the Approximate Entropy (ApEn), which is a statistical measure that quantifies the regularity of a time series, such as vibration signals measured from an electrical motor or a rolling bearing. As the working condition of a machine system deteriorates due to the initiation and/or progression of structural defects, the numb...

This paper presents the design of PD-type fuzzy logic controller (PDFLC) for vibration control of a single-link flexible manipulator system. A flexible manipulator system is a SIMO system with motor torque as the applied input and the hub angle and tip deflection as its two outputs. The system is modelled using the finite element method. The PDFLC have two inputs, the hub angle error and its de...

Vibration, especially at the circumstances of accidental falling down, always cause great damage to tank aiming mirror. Therefore, during the process of designing tank aiming mirror we need to consider how to reduce the harmful influence of external forces. The paper sets up a simplified second order vibration system and a dynamic model in the ADAMS. We make different simulation analysis on dif...

Numerical simulation of bubble growth during pool boiling under the influence of low frequency vibration was performed to understand the influence of common vibrations such as those induced by wind, highway transportation, and nearby mechanical devices on the performance of thermal systems that rely on boiling. The simulations were done for saturated R123 boiling at 277.6 K with a 15 K wall sup...

Vibration generated by a gear-set is a signal of its technical condition. Many papers have been published on relation between the vibration signal and the condition of a gear-set. It is convenient to investigate this relation by dividing the factors which have influence on vibration generated by a gear-set into four major groups: design, production technology, operational and change of conditio...

The vibration velocities of the seat platform and traditional mechanical reduction vibration device were measured through tests, which provided certain basis for proposing and design of the parallel mechanism with six degree of freedom in subsequent paragraphs. Adopting the parallel mechanism as the main part of the seat and the active joints with spring damping elements as the reduction vibrat...

This dissertation presents a control law for helicopters to reduce vibration and to increase damping using individual blade control. control synthesis is used to develop a robust controller usable in different operating conditions with different helicopter flight speeds. The control design is applied in simulation to the four-blade BO 105 helicopter rotor, which is equipped with an individual b...

Aiming at a large number construction of high-speed railway and elevated railway passenger station, make a dynamics simulation study on the law of platform vibration characteristics on the situation of high-speed train passing through. First, make a brief introduction on the theory of the interaction of the vehicle-elevated station structure in vertical and transverse directions. Secondly, on t...

The aim of this study is to present a hybrid algorithm based on two meta-heuristic algorithms named Vibration Damping Optimization (VDO) algorithm and Genetic Algorithm (GA) for solving the stochastic capacitated location-allocation problem. For solving the model more efficiently, the simplex algorithm, stochastic simulation and the proposed hybrid algorithm are integrated to design a powerful ...
