In order to address the limitations of the existing data generation methods, which focused on a single feature in time or frequency domains, WLT-ACGAN was proposed herein. Firstly, a WLT network was constructed with a multi-layer neural network based on the principle of wavelet transform. The wavelet transform and inverse transform were simulated, and the mapping relationship between time-domain signal and frequency-domain signal was established. Secondly, the WLT network was embedded into ACGAN model as the primary component of model generator. Finally, two discriminators were constructed with different functions, enabling the improved ACGAN to learn time-domain and frequency-domain feature information of authentic bearing vibration signals concurrently. Experimental results show that the bearing vibration signals generated by WLT-ACGAN model exhibit consistent time-domain and frequency-domain features with those of the actual bearing vibration signals. Furthermore, the fault diagnostic model constructed with the balanced dataset augmented by the generated signals exhibits a high degree of accuracy when the data are imbalanced.

Additionally， most existing research on cross-domain bearing fault diagnosis primarily emphasized inter-domain alignment and intra-class comparison， while neglecting the influences of interactions between subdomains. Therefore， a cross-domain fault diagnosis method of bearings was proposed based on joint subdomain contrast alignment. In order to highlight the fault features， the bearing vibration signals were transformed into time-frequency graph by short-time Fourier transform， and the fault features were obtained by inputting them into the feature extraction module. Domain adaptation methods achieved cross-domain recognition by transferring knowledge learned from the source domain to the target domain. During the domain adaptation processes， a joint subdomain contrast alignment strategy was used to bring samples from the same subdomain closer together while separating samples from different subdomains， which aligned the subdomain distributions of the same class samples among the source and target domains， thereby enhancing the models generalization ability in the target domain. Resnet34 was used as the feature extraction network on the model architecture， and the maximum mean difference was used at the output of the network to align the global distribution of the source domain and the target domain. Compared with the classical domain adaptation methods， the experimental results on the bearing fault data set of Case Western Reserve University shows that the cross-domain fault diagnosis method of bearings based on joint subdomain contrast alignment has better feature transfer ability.  Reference | Related Articles | Metrics | Comments（0）

It considered the limitations of fault diagnosis with single modality, and then jointly characterizes two modal features of the time domain and time-frequency domain. The designed diagnostic network differentially embeded specific attention mechanism in different modules to extract multi-dimensional key fault features. Finally, the proposed method was validated on the experimental equipment and the Case Western Reserve University bearing dataset. The results show that the proposed method may automatically extract sufficient fault features combining two domains. It has higher accuracy and noise immunity than those with a single domain.

Fault Diagnosis of Rotating Machinery Bearings Based on Multi-source Wavelet Transform Neural Network GUO Haiyu1, ZOU Shenggong1, ZHANG Xiaoguang2, 3, 4, LU Fanfan2CHEN Yang2, WANG Han2, XU Xinzhi2 China Mechanical Engineering    2024, 35 (11): 2026-2034.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-132X.2024.11.014 Abstract （1407）      PDF（pc） （5837KB）（71）       Knowledge map    Save  A multi-source wavelet time-frequency transform convolutional neural network was proposed to address the issues of limited fault samples in rotating machinery bearing fault diagnosis, along with the vulnerability to overfitting and the poor generalization ability of traditional models when dealing with small datasets. Initially, for high-frequency data obtained from a single vibration sensor, a wavelet transform-based time-frequency convolutional layer was formulated to integrate both the real and imaginary components of wavelet coefficients. Here, the real component represented the amplitude information of vibration signals, while the imaginary component depicted phase information. Compared with a convolution layer that only considering real part, this convolutional layer may extract comprehensive time-frequency features. Subsequently, the time-frequency convolutional layer was employed to independently extract features from high-frequency data acquired by multi-sensors on a single device, and these features were then concatenated. Lastly, a dense module utilizing lightweight depth-separable convolution was developed to conduct further feature extraction from the concatenated features, facilitating fault classification. The effectiveness of the model was confirmed through experimentation using Case Western Reserve University rolling bearing dataset, achieving an accuracy of 98.5%.Additionally, the model was deployed for fault diagnosis in rotary kilns, belt conveyors, and grate coolers, demonstrating an average accuracy of 97.19%.

Firstly, a cutting force model for metal cutting was established to analyze the relationship between cutting lubrication and cutting forces. Furthermore, through combined friction-wear tests and milling experiments, the lubrication performance of nano-carbon balls cutting fluid was evaluated in terms of friction coefficient, wear volume, friction surface quality, and cutting forces. Compared with the base cutting fluid, when the mass fraction of nano-carbon is reached 0.02%, the milling forces for the gear steels are decreased by over 10%, and surface roughness is reduced by more than 15%. Experimental observations reveal that nano-carbon particles on the friction contact surfaces preferentially are adsorbed onto micro-peak regions with higher surface free energy, forming a nano-carbon adsorption film. Lubrication mechanism analysis indicates that this adsorption film may exert a friction-reducing “micro-bearing” effects. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics | Comments（0）

Secondly, the frequency domain group sparse model with graph regularization constraints was constructed, the method was given to determine the shrinkage threshold of the in-group components, and the objective function was simplified with the proximal mapping to optimize the solution. Finally, the parameters of the model were optimized by using the constructed comprehensive index and the moth flame optimization algorithm, and rolling bearing faults were identified by the envelope spectrum analysis of the reconstructed signals in the time domain. Numerical simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method has good anti-noise performance and may effectively extract weak fault features of rolling bearings under strong noise interference.

Aiming at the problems that the existing open set domain adaptive algorithm paid more attentions to cross-domain alignment and paid little attention to the distribution within the domain when performing distribution alignment, which led to the low recognition rate of unknown categories. A method was proposed based on intensive distribution alignment with open set difference(IDAOD), which integrated cross-domain divergence alignment and intra-domain distribution alienation method. Firstly, the open set nearest neighbor class verification method was used to obtain the pseudo-label of the target domain. Then, the overall divergence matrix of the source domain and the target domain was constructed, and the cross-domain divergence alignment was performed. Based on the distribution adaptation weighted conditional distribution, the spatial distribution of different categories was further alienated in the same domain. Finally, under the framework of structural risk minimization, the loss function constructed was introduced based on the open set difference theory, and the regularization term was introduced to obtain the optimal solution and the new target domain pseudo-label. The feasibility of the IDAOD algorithm was verified by experiments on Office-31 dataset. The fault diagnosis experiments were carried out on CWRU and JNU bearing data sets respectively, and the recognition rate of unknown fault category is higher than that of other comparative open set algorithms. It is verified that the method proposed herein may effectively improve the accuracy of the bearing data set when target sample contains unknown samples.

In addition, such effects could not be avoided through notch optimization. Consequently, a novel kind of two-axis flexure hinge with elliptical transverse cross-sections was developed herein. Firstly, the parametric model of the flexure hinges with circular notches was established. Then, the compliance and stress models of the flexure hinges were developed based on the Castiglianos second theorem. The analytical models were verified through finite element analyses and the parametric simulations were performed to evaluate the characteristics of compliances and stress concentration. Finally, the compliances of a flexure specimen were tested through experiments. The results show that the ETC flexure hinges have two-dimensional anisotropic compliances. The sharp-edge structures are avoided. Therefore, the stress concentration effects are reduced and the motion capability is increased. Compared to exiting two-axis flexure hinges with identical notch profiles but rectangular transverse cross-sections, the motion capability of the ETC type flexures hinges is increased by 47.9%.

Influences of Strain Rate on Plastic Deformations and Martensitic Transformation Behaviors of 304 Stainless Steels ZHAN Lihua1, 2, ZHAO Shuai1, YANG Youliang1, 2, CHANG Zhilong3 China Mechanical Engineering    2024, 35 (12): 2132-2138，2168.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-132X.2024.12.005 Abstract （391）      PDF（pc） （5871KB）（126）       Knowledge map    Save To investigate the plastic deformation behaviors and martensitic transformation rules of 0.5 mm thick 304 stainless steels at room temperature, uniaxial tensile tests were conducted at five different strain rates of 0.000 67 s-1, 0.002 s-1, 0.01 s-1, 0.1 s-1 and 1.0 s-1, with subsequent X-ray diffraction(XRD) analysis for phase analysis. The results reveal a notable increase in yield strength with rising strain rate, indicating strain rate strengthening effects. Additionally, due to plastic work converting into heat during tensile processes, martensitic transformation was inhibited, resulting in a slight tensile strength reduction. Below a true strain of 0.27, work hardening rates decrease under varying strain rates. However, beyond this threshold true strain, significant secondary hardening occurs under low strain rates, which is attributed to the internal martensitic transformation.To address this phenomenon, the Olson-Cohen equation was integrated into the traditional Johnson-Cook model to characterize secondary hardening during tensile processes across different strain rates. The improved Johnson-Cook model achieves high accuracy in predicting rheological stress changes, with deviations of 3.23%, 3.42%, 4.13%, 4.09%, and 5.14% respectively compared to experimental values, effectively capturing the secondary hardening stage at various strain rates.

A kinematic model incorporating the composite waves was theoretically established, alongside the development of a physical prototype and testing platform. The propulsion performances of the propeller were systematically compared and analyzed through CFD simulations as well as prototype tests under varying amplitudes of longitudinal wave superposition. Simulation results show that both the thrust and velocity generated by the undulating fin may be significantly enhanced, with mean thrust increasing by 27.6% and peak thrust exceeding 200%. Experimental results reveal that under a frequency of 2 Hz with a longitudinal-wave amplitude of 20°, the steady-state average velocity achieved by the propeller reaches 0.761 m/s, which is approximately 14.7% greater than that of without longitudinal wave. This paper demonstrates that composite wave bionic fins exhibit superior thrust and velocity performance compared to single sinusoidal wave configurations, thereby offering an innovative propulsion mechanism for advancing high-performance bionic fish robots.

However, during the grinding process of optical elements, the interaction between the grinding wheel and the workpiece surface caused the abrasive grains on the grinding wheel to be squeezed and damaged. Then, this led to issues such as grinding wheel blockage, wear, reduction in size and shape accuracy, ultimately affecting the surface roughness, shape accuracy, and damage thickness of the optical elements after grinding. To address these problems, dressing the arc-shaped diamond grinding wheel was an effective solution. Among the various dressing methods, mechanical dressing remained the primary approach in production due to the high dressing efficiency and ease of implementation. This paper provided a comprehensive review of the mechanical dressing methods for arc diamond grinding wheels. The truing mechanism and characteristics of different methods were explored, the evaluation method for truing effectiveness was analyzed, and a future outlook for the mechanical truing of arc diamond grinding wheels was presented.

The swing roller movable tooth transmission mechanism was equivalent treated, and the equivalent connecting rod vector transfer model was constructed by topological analysis. According to the principle of conjugate meshing, the conjugate tooth profile vector equations of wave generator and ring gear were derived. Based on the constraint conditions of avoiding motion interference and top cutting of tooth profiles, the selection strategies of swing coefficient and base circle radius of the wave generator were developed with the transmission pressure angle as the evaluation basis. The tooth profile design and performance analysis were carried out according to the optimized parameters and the two groups of comparison parameters. The results show that the designed swing roller movable teeth transmissions have continuous tooth profiles and are able to run without stalling. Under the same load conditions, the peak value of engagement force of the wave generator and movable teeth with the optimized parameters is 37.09% and 28.28% lower than that of the comparison groups, which verifies the effectiveness of the design strategy.
