To overcome this limitation, we propose a novel physics-guided ordinary differential equation (ODE) neural network. This method integrates a neural network into the gearbox dynamics model to address model incompleteness, specifically the discrepancies between theoretical predictions and actual system behavior. Real acceleration measurements are utilized to calibrate both the neural network and the overall dynamics model, enabling the inference of unknown dynamic parameters without the need for prior determination. By aligning simulated responses with experimental data, the model captures system dynamics with high accuracy. The proposed physics-guided ODE neural network is fully differentiable with respect to both model incompleteness and undetermined dynamic parameters.

A low-frequency unidirectional-strain-mode bistable piezoelectric vibration energy harvester (USB-PVEH) is proposed to offer a viable solution to the possible damage caused by the bidirectional deformation of piezoelectric plates in this paper. The salient characteristics of the USB-PVEH were that bistable vibration energy harvesting was implemented via the unidirectional-strain piezoelectric vibrators which were constructed by prepressuring two initially-curved piezoelectric plates. Also, the deformation of pre-bent piezoelectric vibrators subjected to the unidirectional compressive strain wasn’t directly induced by the external vibration source but triggered indirectly by the elastic beam. To prove the structural feasibility and ascertain the influence of adjustable magnet installation parameters on the energy harvester, the theoretical investigation, simulation, fabrication and experimental testing were conducted. The results showed that the potential well structure in nonlinear magnetic force can be altered by adjusting installation parameters such as the horizontal distance, vertical distance and installation angle of the adjustable magnet, thereby modifying the dynamic performance of the energy harvester. Additionally, the USB-PVEH exhibited an optimal parameter combination (<em>d</em> = 14 mm, <em>h</em> = 6 mm, <em>α</em> = 67.5°), where the natural frequency was 16 Hz and the effective bandwidth was 19.6 Hz. Furthermore, the maximum output power of the USB-PVEH could reach 5.27 mW at 16 Hz with the optimal load resistance of 70 kΩ. Consequently, it is expected that the USB-PVEH can provide reference for the structural design of PVEH in high-amplitude environments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51124,"journal":{"name":"Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing","volume":"232 ","pages":"Article 112692"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143820310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the irregular shapes of their structures pose challenges in accurately extracting modal shapes using traditional analytical dynamical modeling methods. To address this challenge, this paper proposes a novel semi-analytical method for modal extraction in flat plates, particularly suitable for those with holes or cutouts, based on negative mass equivalence. Taking the perforated flat plates as examples, their dynamical models are developed using polynomial interpolation with Chebyshev polynomials and the Rayleigh-Ritz method. The concepts of “negative mass” and “positive mass” are employed to represent the features of openings, with Lagrange multipliers ensuring compatibility at connection nodes. Model validations are performed through comparisons of results regarding the natural frequencies, modal shapes, and dynamical responses obtained from this method, the finite element method, and the experimental method. The results demonstrate that the RMS error of the natural frequency is within 3.89 % and the accuracy of the model improves as the number of polynomial terms and connection nodes increases. Furthermore, the proposed method employs analytical modal shapes with minimal degrees of freedom to develop models, achieving exceptional computational efficiency with over 98 % time savings compared to the finite element method. This work provides a new pathway for advancing dynamical modeling methods of plates and enhancing simulation efficiency, with the potential to contribute to the development of active control and aeroelastic analysis techniques in plate-shaped structures.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51124,"journal":{"name":"Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing","volume":"232 ","pages":"Article 112723"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143820307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Integrating an additional feedforward controller with existing controllers is often necessary to enhance tracking performance. However, the design of a closed-loop inversion-based feedforward controller generally relies on an accurate transfer function of the controlled system, which is frequently compromised by unavoidable modeling errors. To address this issue, this paper proposes a novel frequency response data (FRD)-based feedforward control strategy for trajectory modification in tool servo diamond turning. This strategy directly utilizes the FRD to design a flexible-order finite impulse response filter that approximates the inverse behavior of the servo axis. A constrained optimization problem is formulated to obtain a flat amplitude and phase frequency response within the interested bandwidth, with the differential evolution algorithm adopted to determine the optimal filter parameters. Experimental validation on a commercial ultra-precision lathe confirms the effectiveness of the proposed strategy. Comparative results reveal a substantial enhancement in the form accuracy of the machined freeform surfaces, achieving a 70% reduction in the PV error and a 96% reduction in the RMS error compared to those obtained without the feedforward controller. The simplicity and efficiency of this strategy make it well-suited for industrial ultra-precision machining applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51124,"journal":{"name":"Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing","volume":"232 ","pages":"Article 112706"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143820308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ultimate resolution of ultrasonic images is in the order of wavelength <em>λ</em> due to the Rayleigh criterion. In this paper, a Back Propagation Neural Network-Total Focusing Method (BPNN-TFM) is proposed for achieving subwavelength resolution imaging. In this method, the BPNN is trained to decouple overlapping signals from adjacent defect by predicting the times of arrival (ToAs) of defect waves, and the TFM performs delay-and-sum beamforming.

Twelve multi-domain features, commonly used in ultrasonic testing, are extracted from each A-scan signal as the input of the network. The prediction of ToAs for adjacent SDHs and reconstruction of high-resolution A-scan signals for TFM imaging are sequentially accomplished through BPNN optimized by genetic algorithm. The results demonstrate that the SDHs with a minimum central distance 0.5<em>λ</em> can be identified, and the resolution of BPNN-TFM is superior to the existing super-resolution imaging algorithms. Moreover, Shapley additive explanation (SHAP) is introduced to quantitatively analyze the relationship between twelve features and ToAs, and six high-contribution features are further selected.

The digitalization and programmability of coding notions provides a more convenient and intelligent approach for metasurface design and allows for the flexible modulation of the wavefield with only a limited variety of units. The three-dimensional (3D) far-field radiation form of the arbitrarily curved coding metasurface (ACCM) is derived theoretically, which characterizes the relationship between the expected radiation and coding patterns. The discrete particle swarm optimization (DPSO) algorithm is used as a reverse design channel for the coding patterns to realize the specific wavefield. Full wave simulations for ACCMs are implemented by the finite element method. The influences and advantages of the curved configurations for metasurface are discussed.
