However, traditional diagnosis methods face challenges due to the diversification of application environments, including cross-condition adaptability, small-sample learning difficulties, and cross-dataset generalization. These challenges have hindered the effectiveness and limited the application of existing approaches. Large language models (LLMs) offer new possibilities for improving the generalization of diagnosis models. However, the integration of LLMs with traditional diagnosis techniques for optimal generalization remains underexplored. This paper proposed an LLM-based bearing fault diagnosis framework to tackle these challenges. First, a signal feature quantification method was put forward to address the issue of extracting semantic information from vibration data, which integrated time and frequency domain feature extraction based on a statistical analysis framework. This method textualized time-series data, aiming to efficiently learn cross-condition and small-sample common features through concise feature selection. Fine-tuning methods based on LoRA and QLoRA were employed to enhance the generalization capability of LLMs in analyzing vibration data features. In addition, the two innovations (textualizing vibration features and fine-tuning pre-trained models) were validated by single-dataset cross-condition and cross-dataset transfer experiment with complete and limited data. The results demonstrated the ability of the proposed framework to perform three types of generalization tasks simultaneously. Trained cross-dataset models got approximately a 10% improvement in accuracy, proving the adaptability of LLMs to input patterns. Ultimately, the results effectively enhance the generalization capability and fill the research gap in using LLMs for bearing fault diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":51124,"journal":{"name":"Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142665623","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}

These beam elements possess diverse bending vibration modes, intricately coupled with propagating waves, leading to complex wave dynamics within the structure. For the efficient analysis of various architectures, an extended discrete element model (DEM) is introduced to accurately emulate the local resonance caused by the beam’s bending vibration modes. The high level of accuracy achieved by the DEM is attributed to the utilization of a physics-informed discrete element modeling approach, rooted in continuum beam theory and wave dynamics within periodic structures. Utilizing the extended DEM, the interplay between propagating waves and local resonance within the beams is investigated, and the adjustability of mode coupling is confirmed by altering the interacting positions of neighboring beams. Subsequent to this, a graded 3D woodpile architecture is designed to progressively superimpose multiple frequency band structures. By adjusting mode coupling, it is shown that the graded woodpile is capable of displaying either a broad frequency passband or a broad frequency bandgap. Further demonstration reveals that the broad frequency bandgap facilitates high-frequency filtering, which effectively attenuates impact waves without the need for additional damping. The stable 3D woodpile architecture proposed in this study shows great potential for practical applications in vibration filtering and impact mitigation across various domains, ranging from small-scale material design to large-scale constructions.","PeriodicalId":51124,"journal":{"name":"Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142665638","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}

A dual-oscillator synergized piezoelectric energy harvester (DOS-PEH), inspired by hummingbirds, is designed to demonstrate the new concept, both theoretically and experimentally. Mimicking the synergy mechanism of hummingbird muscles and wings, the DOS-PEH adopts a supporting oscillator (SO) and a buckled beam designated as the dominating oscillator (DO) to synergize the vibrations through magnetic coupling. SO engenders a hinge-support-like configuration at the beam midspan, by which DO exhibits three stable equilibrium positions while taking on four stable equilibrium states, including two second buckling modes that lower snapping force to facilitate snap-through oscillations. The non-contact magnetic force, introduced by SO, acts as a link that cohesively connects the dual oscillators. It enables continuous vibration transmission from the ambient environment, through SO, and ultimately to DO. A fresh bandwidth, extending from 2.5 to 10 Hz, of 7.5 Hz emerges under 0.4 g excitation. The DOS-PEH, in general, achieves the broadband, stable, and progressively improving voltage output across the ultra-low frequency range. Further, the output voltage of the DOS-PEH is about 70 times higher than that of the collision-based piezoelectric energy harvester (C-PEH), and the operational bandwidth is broadened to 136 %. It highlights the contribution of synergistic vibration to the ultra-low-frequency energy harvesting.","PeriodicalId":51124,"journal":{"name":"Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142665639","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}

Recently, data-driven approaches for mooring monitoring have been proposed to identify potential mooring damage, aiming to achieve digital real-time integrity management. This paper proposes a framework for detection and nowcasting of health status of mooring line. The framework can identify multiple damage locations and degrees of mooring line, as well as various complicated multi-coupled scenarios. Our proposed method does not rely on experience-based manual feature extraction in all existing studies, but instead uses fully automatic sequence input, retaining complete series information and pattern recognition, which helps the model comprehensively grasp mooring deterioration patterns. Most existing methods simplify the problem by ignoring randomness and inherent noise in environments. In this paper, we account for the potential randomness and uncertainty of the data source during model construction, enhancing generalizability and noise resistance. Given the time series nature of the input variables, we have designed a novel ConvMamba architecture that integrates the convolutional layers and Mamba block, which includes multiple modules and selective state space model. This design ensures the architecture maintains the recurrent framework characteristic of RNNs while also benefiting from the parallel computing capabilities of CNNs. After ablation experiments and comparisons with other existing sequence models, the superiority of proposed architecture is demonstrated in both accuracy and efficiency. Furthermore, model maintains impressive noise-resistant accuracy under high interference from three different types of noise experiments, attributable to the robust model design. For the practical applications, two strategies are proposed to improve the original model and bolster noise resistance. While these strategies have certain limitations, they offer potential for further optimization.","PeriodicalId":51124,"journal":{"name":"Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing","volume":"226 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142665646","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}

In this paper, a novel variational Bayesian inference method is proposed to approximate the real posterior PDF of unknown model parameters by using Gaussian mixture model and measurement responses. A Gaussian process regression model is first trained for approximating the logarithm of the product of likelihood function and prior PDF, with which, another Gaussian process model is induced for approximating the expensive evidence lower bound (ELBO). Then, two Bayesian numerical methods, i.e., Bayesian optimization and Bayesian quadrature, are combined sequentially as a novel Bayesian active learning method for searching the global optima of the parameters of the variational posterior density. The proposed method inherits the advantages of both Bayesian numerical methods, which includes good global convergence, much less number of simulator calls, etc. Three examples, including the dynamic model of a two degrees of freedom structures, the lubrication model of a hybrid journal bearing, and the dynamic model of an airplane structure, are introduced for demonstrating the relative merits of the proposed method. Results show that, given desired requirement of numerical accuracy, the proposed method is more efficient than the parallel methods.","PeriodicalId":51124,"journal":{"name":"Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142665644","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}

To provide an in-depth understanding of the RLVFMs, this paper proposes a novel dynamical modeling approach for the RLVFMs, called the Parametric Global Modal Method (PGMM), and presents a framework to study their nonlinear responses. It is capable of addressing time-varying boundary conditions and describing the elastic deformation of all flexible components with only one set of modal coordinates. A low-dimensional dynamical model of a RLVFM is developed. The natural characteristic results obtained from the models developed by the PGMM and the finite element method (FEM) are compared for verifications of the PGMM. Via a convergence analysis of responses, the high precision of the model developed by the PGMM is verified to be achieved by using only the first two modes. On this basis, the dynamic responses and computational efficiency of the low-dimensional model are validated through experiments and finite element method (FEM) simulations. Moreover, the responses of the RLVFM under operations of rapid maneuvering are studied and a potential vibration control strategy for the RLVFM is preliminarily demonstrated.

However, the impact of the NES’s additional mass other than the oscillator and how it is connected to the primary structure has been ignored. More recently, it has been discovered that vibration attenuation through the cellular application of NES can achieve greater efficiency. However, the connection between NES cells and the primary structure, as well as between cells, has not been studied. In this study, by considering the additional mass of the NES cells, the influence of the connection modes of NES cells on the vibration reduction efficiency is investigated theoretically, optimally and experimentally for the first time. The forced vibration models of linear oscillator coupled with NES cells are established by viscoelastic connection and rigid connection respectively. The approximate analysis and numerical analysis show that the vibration reduction efficiency of NES cells is affected by the resonance frequency of the primary structure and the external excitation intensity and shows a nonlinear trend. With the change of the resonant frequency of the primary structure, the viscoelastic connection NES cells can almost always obtain higher vibration reduction efficiency than the rigid connection NES cells. The global bifurcation results show that the strongly modulated responses of the structure can be triggered by the viscoelastic connection. Moreover, the connection modes between NES cells also affect the vibration reduction efficiency. The optimal parameters of the connection damping and connection stiffness are obtained by the particle swarm optimization algorithm. Finally, the viscoelastic connection and rigid connection, and the effect of the connection mode between NES cells on the vibration reduction efficiency are compared by experiments. The conclusions of theoretical research are verified. This work can provide theoretical guidance for the engineering application of NES cells.","PeriodicalId":51124,"journal":{"name":"Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing","volume":"197 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142665641","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, they can induce structural failures or hidden damage that accelerates the structure’s long-term degradation. Therefore, prompt impact detection and localization strategies are essential for early warning of impact events and rapid maintenance of structures. Most existing impact detection strategies are developed for aircraft composite panels utilizing high-rate synchronized measurement from densely deployed sensors. Limited efforts have been made for infrastructure or human habitats which generally require large-scale but low-rate measurement. In particular, due to harsh environments (e.g., deep space habitats under meteoroids), structural impact localization must be robust to limited sensors (e.g., sensor damage during impacts) and multi-source errors (e.g., measurement errors). In this study, an effective impact detection and localization strategy is proposed using a limited number of vibration measurements, especially in harsh environments (e.g. in deep space). Convolutional neural networks are trained for each sensor node and are fused using Bayesian theory to improve the accuracy of impact localization. Special considerations are paid to evaluate the effect of both measurement error and modeling error in the analysis. The proposed strategy is illustrated using 1D structure, and further validated in 3D geodesic dome structure numerically. The results demonstrate that it can detect and localize impact events accurately and robustly on structures.","PeriodicalId":51124,"journal":{"name":"Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing","volume":"80 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142665647","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}

When faults occur in scenarios where data scarcity is coupled with high noise levels, existing deep neural network models are limited by their inability to extract key discriminative features from noisy signals and by the lack of sufficient training information. This limitation hinders the development and application of highly reliable fault diagnosis systems. We propose a novel fault diagnosis framework, Resformer, which is designed to address the challenges posed by data scarcity and high noise coupling, as well as the highly coupled and complex fault modes in electro-hydraulic systems. The Resformer framework offers a highly interpretable feature selection and fusion strategy to identify key features. It also integrates the Local Binary Pattern algorithm to extract local features from grayscale images of multi-sensor data, significantly enhancing the representativeness and noise resistance of the dataset. Moreover, to strengthen the Resformer’s multi-scale feature extraction capability and noise robustness, a multi-kernel dilated convolutional residual network architecture is introduced, enabling the discovery of critical discriminative features under conditions of data scarcity and high noise coupling. The proposed efficient multi-scale self-attention mechanism effectively extracts important features at different scales, further improving the performance of Resformer.

The objective of this research is to propose a tool wear prediction method based on multimodal information fusion and deep subdomain adaptation to solve the existing problems. First, the original one-dimensional time-series tool monitoring signals are encoded into images to generate a two-dimensional image dataset. Secondly, a two-channel prediction model combining Residual Network and Gated Recurrent Unit is constructed to extract features from the two-dimensional image signals and the one-dimensional time-series signals respectively, and the extracted spatial and temporal features are fused. Thirdly, the dataset is divided into subdomains based on wear values, and the generalization ability of the model is improved by reducing the feature differences between source and target domains through the subdomain adaptive method, thus achieving the prediction of the tool wear values under different situations. Finally, through the validation on two milling wear datasets and comparison with the prediction results of other models, the experimental results prove the accuracy and good generalization of the method, which can provide a reference to improve the machining quality and efficiency, and is suitable for practical industrial application scenarios.","PeriodicalId":51124,"journal":{"name":"Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing","volume":"99 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142665627","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}
