To begin with, the kinetic equations are derived. Subsequently, the analysis of the primary response and stability involved the utilization of the Harmonic Balance Method (HBM), and the accuracy of the model was validated through numerical calculations. Finally, the impact of essential parameters is examined. The findings suggest that the QZS-PTNI isolator, without compromising the high frequency transmissibility, is capable of reducing peaks, suppressing the rightward trend of the transmissibility curve, narrowing the range of jump-up and jump-down frequency, and enhancing the vibration isolation performance.","PeriodicalId":17511,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vibration and Control","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142208081","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method comprises two key innovations. Firstly, a multi-modal time series transformation method is proposed. This method extracts time series data from the original time domain signals via self-adaptive ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise, transforms them into 2D matrices, and captures inter- and intra-period information relationships through convolution. Secondly, a multi-scale convolutional attention network is introduced, enriching fault information by utilizing parallel multi-scale convolution for down-sampling. To prevent feature loss, sliding convolution is adopted instead of pooling. Additionally, the model incorporates the convolutional block attention module to focus on critical information. Experimental validation conducted in a laboratory using a self-developed railway wagon bearing dynamic performance tester demonstrates high diagnostic accuracy and strong overall performance. The method’s generalizability is further confirmed through validation using publicly available datasets. This method could find practical use in railway maintenance, improving the accuracy of bearing fault diagnosis, and making operations more efficient.","PeriodicalId":17511,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vibration and Control","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142208084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During the support phase, a separated force-position mixing control method is employed, utilizing gravity-compensated PD (Proportional Derivative) control at the lateral swing and knee joints while employing position control at the hip joint. During the swing phase, VMC (Virtual Model Control) is used to construct three sets of virtual spring-damper components, guiding the foot to move along a predetermined trajectory and converting virtual forces into joint torques for the swinging leg. At the body, IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) feedback data combined with PI (Proportional Integral) control is used to adjust leg length and maintain the robot’s posture stability. Finally, the proposed separated force-position hybrid control method is theoretically validated using the Lyapunov stability criterion, and simulation tests on flat and rugged terrains under the quadruped robot’s composite control method are conducted using MATLAB/Simulink, comparing it with the VMC and position control methods. The findings indicate that the composite control strategy leads to smaller changes in the attitude angles and reduced impact forces at the feet during the quadruped robot’s walk on flat ground while also demonstrating strong adaptability to rugged terrains.","PeriodicalId":17511,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vibration and Control","volume":"58 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142208083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To ensure the safety of buried structures, it is crucial to understand the blasting vibration characteristics in the geological layers. In this paper, the analytical solution for the vibration velocity response in geological layer subjected to P-wave is derived. Based on a specific tunnel blasting excavation project, the influence of incident wave frequency, layer thickness, and incidence angle on the vibration velocity distribution along the depth direction are investigated. Results show that the vibration velocity in the upper soil layer does not strictly attenuate with increasing distance from the blasting source but rather exhibits a fluctuating trend. As the frequency of the incident wave increases, the normalized vibration velocity on the ground surface exhibits a periodic decreasing trend, and the distance between the initial fluctuation point and the ground surface decreases. The normalized vibration velocity in the soil layer does not exhibit a monotonic decrease as the soil thickness increases. With an increase in the incident angle, a general declining pattern is observed in the normalized vibration velocity along the depth direction.","PeriodicalId":17511,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vibration and Control","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142208087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, an analytic model of the actuator forces was studied, and the magnetic flux density in the working gap of the actuators was established using the Image Method, Ampere molecular hypothesis, and Biot–Savart law. The dynamics model of the floater actuated by the actuators was then built using the Newton–Euler method. Moreover, the double-pendulum chaotic nonlinear system of the hoisted floater was simplified as a single-DOF system, in which the interaction effects between two DOFs were considered. Furthermore, modeling of the platform control system was performed, which included an acceleration measuring unit with six uniaxial accelerometers, a position measuring unit with three two-dimensional PSDs, and a control unit that decouples the six-DOF control. Finally, an experimental setup was built to perform ground tests on the platform. The results verified the platform modeling; translational and rotational positioning accuracies were approximately 5 μm and 40 μrad at the six DOFs, respectively, and the vibrational suppression efficiencies were greater than 90% for low frequency disturbances. Moreover, Kalman estimators and disturbance observers were introduced into the controller to estimate the movement of the floater and observe the direct disturbance.

However, failures such as wear or fatigue can be caused under continuous operating conditions, which results in extreme economic losses and severe injuries. The failure rate of rolling bearings can be reduced by the remaining useful life prediction, which can perform effective predictive maintenance to reduce the risk of bearing failures and improve reliability. Machine learning (ML) has inaugurated new approaches to implement RUL prediction of rolling bearings, which is essential to the machinery prognostic and health management (PHM) system. Unfortunately, many existing ML, particularly supervised learning methods, have the following drawbacks. On the one hand, the independent identically distributed law between the training data and test data is always difficult to satisfy, which will induce poor generalization and unsatisfactory prediction results. The amount of degradation data and the corresponding labels are increased with the degenerative process, which costs a lot of time and effort for label setting. On the other hand, most of them are incompetent for the task of RUL estimation with insufficient degradation information and the prediction accuracy is often affected by noise. To deal with the above issues, a hybrid model-based and data-driven model (HMDM) architecture that combines the grey model (GM) and gated recurrent unit (GRU) with multi-head self-attention (MHSA) is proposed. The raw failure signal of the rolling bearing is preprocessed by the singular value decomposition (SVD) method for noise reduction. A novel model learning method is applied to train models, which compensates for deficiencies of prediction errors caused by distribution differences between training data and testing data, as well as avoiding the problem of sample labeling to ease the economic burden and labor waste. The characteristics of the GM and MHSA-GRU are inherited by HMDM, which has excellent prognostic capacity at a variety of time sequence lengths and degradation information with different frequency changes. The prediction of the proposed model is verified by the experimental data from the PRONOSTIA platform and XJTU bearing dataset, and a comparison with other methods is conducted to reveal the merit of HMDM on the performance of RUL prediction. The results show that high prediction accuracy of time series with different lengths and frequency changes can be achieved by the proposed HMDM model, which outperforms the existing ML methods and provides a new solution for RUL prognostics of rolling bearings.","PeriodicalId":17511,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vibration and Control","volume":"58 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142207960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
