Existing methods for computing the curvature at the interface are not very accurate and exhibit unwanted numerical oscillations. In this work, a novel method is proposed to compute the mean curvature of the interface accurately. As opposed to Bruchon method which has only one stabilising term that can bias the results, the proposed method includes a pair of counteracting stabilising terms that remove any such bias. A comparative investigation of the proposed method with other existing techniques is also presented to demonstrate the superior performance. The paper also illustrates the application of the proposed curvature computation method for the flow through pipe problem in the last section.","PeriodicalId":29937,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Hydromechatronics","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135051920","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}

Firstly, an improved gated convolution layer is proposed for feature extraction, with the batch normalisation (BN) layer applied to adjust the data distribution and enhance the generalisation performance of the model. Then, the feature learned by multiple gated convolution layers and pooling layers is fed to the fully connected layer for fault type identification. Finally, the label-distribution-aware margin (LDAM) loss function is employed to adjust the model being more sensitive to the minority class and mitigate the influence of imbalanced data on the model. Experimental validation is conducted using two bearing datasets. Results show that the proposed method is more robust than other fault diagnosis methods, with higher recognition accuracy in severely imbalanced dataset.","PeriodicalId":29937,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Hydromechatronics","volume":"295 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136092813","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}

Among the many methods, because of no need for parameterisation of curves and an excellent solution to the problem of evolutionary curve topology change, the level set method (LSM) is widely used in the field and has achieved good results. The paper reviews applications of LSM in the tracking of free interfaces, including theory fundamental, solving the basic partial differential equation used to represent fluids in LSM, free interfaces tracking of two-phase fluids, interfaces evolutions of multi-phase fluids, and coupling with other methods to increase tracking performance. Based on the summaries, we confirm the level set method has achieved excellent results in fluid interface tracking either alone or coupled with other algorithms. Of course, the level set method requires further optimisation in terms of initialisation and mass conservation.","PeriodicalId":29937,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Hydromechatronics","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135534457","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}

Many data-driven approaches have been applied to the fault diagnosis of axial piston pumps. However, few studies focus on the performance degradation assessment that plays an important role in the predictive maintenance for axial piston pumps. This paper proposes a hybrid model-driven and data-driven approach to assess the health status of axial piston pumps. A physical flow loss model is established to solve for the flow loss coefficients of the axial piston pump under different operating conditions. The flow loss coefficients act as feature vectors to train a support vector data description (SVDD) model. A health indicator based on SVDD is put forward to quantitatively assess the pump health status. Experimental results under different pump health conditions confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":29937,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Hydromechatronics","volume":"8 13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135914219","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}
