To guarantee finite-time convergence, robust control methods such as sliding mode control (SMC) have been widely investigated during the last 20 years.

Nevertheless, the majority of the adaptive sliding mode control (ASMC) methods demand arbitrary tuning of the real sliding mode boundaries, which in practice depend on the structure’s uncertainty and also the unknown exogenous perturbation, both with the possibility of evolving with time. The following paper proposes a new method for ASMC with real-time boundary adaptation of the adaptive gain based on chattering detection.

The TLMW-former incorporates a multi-wavelet sparse representation denoising (MSRD) layer to effectively suppress background noise, enhancing fault features of signals. A wavelet linear self-attention (WLSA) mechanism is designed to improve global feature mining and model interpretability, while a stride inverted residual module is introduced to enhance local feature extraction and downsampling.

Regularization, on the other hand, is frequently criticized for instability. Its accuracy often depends on the specific problem, making it difficult to achieve satisfactory results without tailored approaches. This paper introduces a Bayesian framework to enhance the performance of classical TPA, offering a data-driven approach to handle the mentioned challenges. The feasibility of the Bayesian model is evaluated through both experimental setups that mimic an excitation source mounted on a suspension with resilient connections and corresponding numerical simulations. Moreover, to explore the possibility of applying TPA to smaller structures, we also assess the Bayesian TPA when relaxing the typically required overdetermined constraints.

Due to the time-varying characteristics of the transfer function of rotating sound sources and the Doppler effect, conventional stationary non-synchronous measurement cannot be directly applied to the localization of rotating sources. This work extends a non-synchronous measurement algorithm from static sources to rotating sound sources. First, the cross-spectral matrix (CSM) of missing elements is obtained based on the mode composition beamforming algorithm in vector form. Then, the matrix completion is performed based on the spatial basis of the frequency-domain modal transfer function to obtain the full CSM.

Subsequently, experts in mechanical engineering devised dynamical models to describe the mechanical response of TEHs, often simplifying the energy extraction circuit (EEC) to a mere resistor. Conversely, researchers in electrical engineering derived models for intricate EECs but tended to oversimplify the harvesters’ mechanical response as sinusoidal motions. Consequently, the integration of models addressing both the electromechanical response of the harvesters and the practical EECs remains largely unaddressed due to the analytical challenges posed by such intricate systems.

Moreover, there is no study on the attenuation behavior of AE waves in complete HSTAB. This paper presents an AE dynamic detection mechanism model of the HSTAB state, revealing the generation mechanism of AE waves by rough contact and local defect impact and their propagation characteristics. First, based on the load pattern of the HSTAB, a dynamic model was established considering asperity contact, local defect impact, and lubrication oil, and the dynamic contact force of the rollers was determined. Second, a mathematical model of the rough contact with RMS was established jointly with the contact force. Further, the attenuation features of the AE waves in the HSTAB and its housing were investigated, and an AE dynamic mechanism model was established. The model not only resolves the dynamic RMS characterization of the AE signals from moving bearings but also describes the relationship between the dynamic RMS and running speed, bearing state, and time scale.
