Experimental validation for the AE wave generation and propagation have also been performed under similar conditions. Aluminum metal block has been selected as the homogenous propagation medium for both simulation and the experiment. A function generator has been used for the excitation of a burst sine signal on the surface. A piezoelectric AE resonance sensor receives the vertical response due to the vertical load of the function generator. The algorithm of Lamb's solution has been employed in the generation of a simulated AE wave. As the transfer function, the peak sensor sensitivity of the AE sensor (R15alpha) has been incorporated along with the acoustic impedance of the metal surface and sensor. For both detected and simulated AE waves, the signal parametric characterizations have been performed based on the rise time and the maximum amplitude. The attenuation properties of the maximum amplitude and the increase of rise time with the increment of source to sensor distance has been evaluated to validate the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":131358,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Acoustics and Vibration","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133445636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Compared with the TL, experimental measurements of IL appear to be easier, however, the acquisition of source and load impedance for theoretical IL seems to be time-consuming and costly. Considering that the analogy between electrical system variables and fluidic ones is complete, well-established electrical circuit representations could be used for hydraulic systems using expansion chamber configurations as the hydraulic suppressors. Utilizing the Thevenin theorem and Norton theorem in the electrical network theory, two types of pressure oscillation source representations are equivalent insofar as the suppressors are concerned and then the expression for IL could be simplified. Finally, through the experimental measurements of the IL, the most suitable electrical representation would be selected. By implementing this method, the measurements of source impedance and load impedance tend to be avoided, which appears to be an attractive approach.","PeriodicalId":131358,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Acoustics and Vibration","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125104499","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To evaluate the performance degradation state more effectively by using monitoring data of mechanical equipment, a PDA method based on improved degradation feature extraction technology and considering sample completeness is proposed in this paper. Firstly, multiple degradation features, including statistical features and intrinsic energy features, are extracted to construct a high-dimensional feature set calculated by time-domain analysis and the EMD method. Then, a sensitive feature set, which has significant robustness, correlation, and monotonicity in the degenerate process, is reduced and processed by the improved PCA method to obtain the final health index. Secondly, the degradation assessment model is established by considering the completeness of the samples. As for the complete sample dataset, which has both normal and failure state data, a logistic regression model (LRM) is built to assess the performance degradation status. In addition, an SVDD model is established for the incomplete sample dataset, which only has normal state data. Finally, the reliability of the proposed method is verified by the public XJTU-SY dataset, and the comparative experiment further verifies the superiority of this method.","PeriodicalId":131358,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Acoustics and Vibration","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126225035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper develops a method based on half-space spherical wave function expansion for reconstructing the acoustic field radiated directly from a source located near a pressure-release boundary. First, the series of half-space spherical wave basis functions satisfying the pressure-release boundary condition is formulated. Then the acoustic field in a half space is modeled using an expansion in this basis. The expansion coef?cients are determined by solving an overdetermined linear system of equations, obtained by matching this expansion to the measured half-space acoustic pressures. The pressures radiated directly from the source can finally be reconstructed using the free-space spherical wave function expansion with the obtained expansion coefficients. Numerical simulation examples of a vibrating plate located in water near a pressure-release boundary are demonstrated to validate the proposed method. The effects of various parameters, such as the acoustic frequency, the distance between the source and boundary, and the orientation of the source surface, on the reconstruction accuracy are examined.","PeriodicalId":131358,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Acoustics and Vibration","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114933006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The model is based on a three-level evaluation index system with two conditions of air conditioning on and off, two observation positions of driver and rear seat, and two constant speeds of 30 km/h and 50 km/h. AHP is used to calculate the weight coefficient of each evaluation index. In addition, the ACRs of 64 noise samples are brought into the established model to gain overall sound quality order of eight electric buses.

To identify both the cavitation noise signal and the non-cavitation noise signal, prevent damage as soon as possible, and avoid irreversible damage to the hydroturbine, a new paradigm based on multi-scale information entropy is proposed in this paper. The new proposed classification model combines improved multi-scale symbol dynamic entropy (IMSDE) and least square support vector machine (LSSVM). Improved multi-scale symbol dynamic entropy is utilized to learn features from the cavitation noise signal, and then the classifier of the least square support vector machine is used to classification. Multi-scale sample entropy (MSE), multi-scale permutation entropy (MPE) and multi-scale symbol dynamic entropy (MSDE) are selected as the contrast algorithms. According to the experimental results of four different operating conditions, IMSDE has the highest recognition rate. The average recognition rate of IMSDE is higher than that of MSDE, MSE and MPE. There is no significant difference in computational efficiency of IMSDE, MSDE and MPE. In conclusion, the IMSDE method proposed in this paper is superior to MSDE, MSE and MPE, for meeting the requirements of cavitation noise signal classification.","PeriodicalId":131358,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Acoustics and Vibration","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122207095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, natural frequency and optimization design of nonlinear variable-thickness rectangular thin plates are performed. For this purpose, theoretical solutions of dimensionless natural frequency of the bidirectional linear variable-thickness thin plates are conducted on the three classical boundaries to verify the correctness of a conducted numerical model. Then the natural frequencies of variable thickness plates with different forms including bidirectional and unidirectional nonlinear were compared. Additionally, the difference in vibration characteristics between the thin plate of variable thickness and the corresponding thin plate of equal mass are compared and analyzed, and the results show that when the middle part of the thin plate is thick, the natural frequency increases by a greater percentage. Finally, a new bidirectional stepped variable-thickness plate is proposed to improve the natural frequency of variable-thickness thin plates. Inspired by the stepped idea, the square and circle division methods are employed to improve the natural frequency of variable thickness thin plates, as the optimal design is carried out. The results show that the nonlinear variable thickness after performing an optimal design could significantly improve the natural frequency of thin plates.

The appropriate control method of a drill string is important to drilling efficiency and downhole operation safety. Therefore, based on a new mechanical rotary steerable tool (RST), this paper aims to analyze the Dynamic Characteristics of RST in Directional Drilling. First, considering the thrust force generated by the RST and bottom hole assembly (BHA), the governing vibration equations of a drill string system are established. Furthermore, connected with fields drilling parameters, including the effects of a new RST on a drill bit and wellbore, as the boundary and initial conditions, the dynamic characteristics of a drill string system are compared and studied in directional and straight drilling. The results show that the axial vibration of the drill string increases extremely in directional drilling process, while the weight on bit (WOB) and inclination force change in small range. Moreover, the torque and azimuth force tend to be stable soon, even its initial fluctuations are significantly. Also, the new RST can effectively enhance the steering capacity, increase the drilling efficiency, and improve drill bit force performance.
