To address this issue, this paper proposes a fault diagnosis model based on multi-scale wavelet decomposition and a feature fusion network (MWDFN). Firstly, the low-frequency approximate coefficients of the signal are extracted through the three-level discrete wavelet transform (DWT) to obtain the statistical characteristics. Based on this, the wavelet packet transform (WPT) conducts a secondary decomposition on the statistically significant high-frequency coefficients, generating multi-scale energy-entropy joint features. Secondly, low-dimensional fusion feature vectors are constructed through feature stitching and standardized processing. Finally, a hierarchical adaptive sampling strategy is adopted, combined with the class weights of the random forest (RF) classifier, to adjust and optimize the classification boundaries.

To effectively limit its own oscillations while enhancing vibration suppression for the LO and improving its dynamic characteristics, this study proposes a magnet-enhanced spring-tie rods BNES (MBNES). First, the magnetic force exerted by the permanent magnet and the nonlinear restoring force of the spring-tie rods are calculated, and the dynamical equation for the coupled MBNES-LO system is established. Using complex-variable averaging and multiscale analysis, the system’s slow invariant manifold (SIM) is derived. Building on this, the system’s dynamic behavior and vibration suppression performance are further examined using various techniques, including time displacement responses, phase diagrams, SIM, wavelet transforms, amplitude-frequency response curves, and energy dissipation rates. These analyses aim to evaluate whether the proposed model enhances the performance of traditional BNES while investigating the effects of parameters such as external excitation amplitude, stiffness, damping, and others. Lastly, a physical prototype is constructed, and experimental validation is performed to assess its effectiveness. The results show that the nonlinear magnetic force effectively reduces the vibration of BNES, improves the suppression of the maximum LO amplitude, and lowers the energy threshold, facilitating the occurrence of strongly modulated response (SMR).

Alternatively, we here propose a hybrid control law that integrates both feedforward and feedback control, in which the feedforward control is based on excitation and the feedback one is based on the states of the primary structure instead of the absorber. A resulting key benefit is that system stability analysis can be significantly simplified thanks to the decoupling between the control parameters to be tuned and the characteristic equation. In addition to this, enhanced control performance over classical DRs is achieved in both cases of single- and multiple-frequency vibration suppression. Results show that the hybrid control law can extend the operable frequency band, expedite setting the transient process, and extend the antiresonance valley to suppress residual vibrations in steady states. Particularly, the alleviated stability issues in the multiple-frequency case allow the hybrid control law to fully leverage the strength of the delayed control in raising system order so that a single-mass absorber can yield multiple zero antiresonance points at multiple given frequencies.

An efficient and robust incremental harmonic balance (ER-IHB) method with significantly improved computational efficiency and convergence is developed for computing periodic responses of the piecewise-linear gear transmission system, and its two-time-scale variant, termed the two-time-scale efficient and robust incremental harmonic balance (TER-IHB) method, is formulated for quasi-periodic (QP) responses.

In this study, electrospinning was employed to fabricate PVDF nanofiber membranes, with carbon nanotubes (CNT) incorporation serving as a structural regulator to balance the α-phase and β-phase content. As a result, the coefficient of friction (COF) was reduced by 14.4 % compared to pure PVDF, and the negative surface potential was mitigated, leading to a more uniform and stable distribution.

The instability threshold is strongly influenced by the fluid-film forces coming from the thin layer of the lubricant as well as seal forces. The changes in natural frequencies and damping ratios of flexible rotors are strongly depending on the rotor operational conditions, such as the angular velocity and loading. Consequently, there is a growing demand among industrial monitoring systems for the ability to continuously and real-time monitor the damping ratios of rotating machines. For this purpose, Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) can be employed which in comparison to Experimental Modal Analysis (EMA) does not require knowledge of the excitation forces. A general challenge in the OMA framework is to ensure that the excitation sources are Gaussian and, thinking of rotordynamic applications, that unimportant harmonic components are properly eliminated from vibration response. The paper gives an original contribution to the problem of rotordynamic experimental testing, investigating the possibility of combining controllable lubrication techniques with automated OMA techniques. A tilting-pad journal bearing is used as a shaker to dynamically perturb the rotor-bearing system without altering the rotor-bearing equilibrium position, allowing for non-invasive testing.
