Thus, it is critical for the tower crane systems to guarantee their safety and efficiency simultaneously. In this paper, for the 4DOF tower cranes, a novel adaptive tracking control approach is proposed by considering obstacle-avoidance trajectory planning. The state constraint equations are established firstly, by involving the auxiliary terms. And, the optimal time trajectory with physical constraints is obtained by the dichotomy method. Then, the fuzzy neural network is employed to handle the obstacle-avoidance trajectories generation problem under the different final positions and obstacle positions. An adaptive tracking control method with error constraints is further given to guarantee the precise tracking of the trolley and the jib. It is noteworthy that the proposed method not only constrains the state variables within predefined ranges but also constructs an improved trajectory planning method for the first time to avoid collisions. Additionally, the stability of the system is theoretically proven by the Lyapunov technique and LaSalle’s invariance principle. Finally, several experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method over comparative approaches in terms of effectiveness and robustness.","PeriodicalId":51124,"journal":{"name":"Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing","volume":"249 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142665654","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, due to noise interference or limited by the manifestation of BFFs, these BFFs often require highly specialized personnel to identify and extract them, making the achievement of fully automated bearing fault diagnosis extremely challenging. Hence, a fully automatic BFD method based on Improved Polar Coordinate (IPC) image texture is proposed. Firstly, the proposed IPC algorithm transforms vibration signals into IPC images with easily recognizable BFFs in the polar coordinate system. Then, automatic image filtering, image texture enhancement, and texture feature extraction are achieved through methods in the field of image processing. Finally, automatic BFD experiments are conducted using extracted IPC image texture features and a neural network. The entire BFD process is fully automatic, and the methods employed are relatively simple and easy to implement, which is highly advantageous for promoting and implementing a real-time fault monitoring system. Experimental results show that the proposed fully automated BFD method based on IPC image texture is effective, achieving an average diagnostic accuracy of 99.4%. This surpasses the 95.0% accuracy of a similar method based on symmetrical polar coordinate image texture and the 98.9% accuracy of an advanced method based on refined composite multi-scale dispersion entropy.

This challenge limits their applications because recollecting labeled data to retrain models is expensive and time-consuming. Domain generalization (DG) aims to learn a predictive model that can extract invariant features across source domains and then generalize to related but unseen target domains. However, most existing feature-invariant DG methods rely on unrealistic assumptions (e.g., stable feature distribution or no label shift) and simplify the problem to learn either invariant feature marginal or conditional distributions. In practice, both feature and label shifts may exist, rendering these assumptions invalid. This study develops a novel DG method to simultaneously consider conditional, marginal, and label shifts. With Bayes’ theorem, DG is interpreted as a posterior distribution alignment problem, which is derived by the likelihood function, evidence, and prior. The likelihood function and evidence correspond to feature conditional and marginal distributions, respectively, which are estimated by exploiting variational Bayesian inference. The conditional distributions across domains are aligned by minimizing the Kullback–Leibler divergence, and the marginal distributions across domains are aligned through moment minimization. The label prior shift is estimated by the label smoothing mechanism and class-wise prototype learning. Consequently, DG is achieved by aligning the label posterior distribution according to the Bayesian equation. Numerical and experimental examples demonstrate that the developed method outperforms state-of-the-art DG methods in damage detection of both mechanical and civil structures.
