The induced voltage and the piezoelectric voltage, two easy-to-measure electrical signals in piezoelectric tubes, have been used in position estimation of these actuators since 2006 and 1982. However, since introduction, the induced voltage has never been compared with the piezoelectric voltage for piezoelectric tubes’ position estimation. In addition, only linear models have been used to present the relationship between the induced voltage and the position of piezoelectric tubes. In other words, in the literature, it has been practically assumed that (1) the relationship between the induced voltage and the position is linear, and (2) the induced voltage can estimate the position more accurately compared to the piezoelectric voltage. This article assesses and nullifies both these assumptions. In this research, with the use of the experimental data, both aforementioned voltage signals were mapped into the position through linear and nonlinear models. It was shown that the position can be estimated less accurately with the induced voltage compared to the piezoelectric voltage, and the relationship of the position with the induced voltage presents higher and non-negligible nonlinearity compared to the one with the piezoelectric voltage.</p>","PeriodicalId":54999,"journal":{"name":"Iet Science Measurement & Technology","volume":"18 9","pages":"495-502"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/smt2.12209","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142666160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the incipient turn-to-turn short-circuit faults are often undetected, resulting in massive accidents. Incipient turn-to-turn short-circuit faults lead to localized overheating in the transformer, which changes the transformer's oil-tank surface temperature (OTST). A thermal simulation model (TSM) is presented. Based on the TSM, OTST data with different load rates and fault parameters are collected. The steady-state and transient characteristics of OTST are analysed by extracting the OTST feature vector and the temperature difference of specific regions. The results show that the growth of the heat production value of faulty coils causes a rise in the OTST; higher faulty coils' locations lead to wider OTST differences; the temperature difference's area S can follow the incipient short-circuit fault in the first 20 min after it occurs, which is faster than the top oil temperature.

Underwater complex environment makes DVL output vulnerable to non-Gaussian noise pollution, which makes it difficult to converge the SINS misalignment angle to within 1° based on analytical coarse alignment. This is to say, the performance of SINS fine alignment via Kalman filter will be degraded because the model of initial alignment exhibits non-linearity. The inaccurate and/or unknown prior information of measurement noise statistical characteristics will also degrade the filtering performance. To ensure the SINS/DVL alignment accuracy under non-linear, non-Gaussian and uncertain conditions, this paper proposed a robust adaptive unscented Kalman filter (UKF) based on Variational Bayesian (VB) method (VBRAUKF). The proposed VBRAUKF improves the adaptability and robustness of UKF from the following two main aspects. Firstly, an adaptive estimation strategy for the measurement noise covariance is designed based on the VB algorithm, which can restrain the effect of inaccurate observation model and improve the adaptive ability of the filtering method. Secondly, an expansion factor is designed based on Mahalanobis distance algorithm, which can restrain the effect of non-Gaussian noise and improve the robustness of the filtering method.

Herein, a simultaneous electromagnetic field probing system with Y-shaped separation detection structure (SEMPS Y) is first proposed, in which the electric field probing region and the magnetic field probing region of the probe are separated by completely covering the shield along the loop and adding a pin-shaped metal wire to capture the electric field, which are not the same as the classical dual probe structure. Combined with the non-rotating asymmetric calibration method (NRACM), a 4-port vector network analyser (VNA) and a highly symmetric grounded coplanar waveguide (GCPW) calibrator are used to solve the calibration matrix of the asymmetric SEMPS Y. The high symmetry GCPW calibrator is used to generate the standard electromagnetic field for calibration. The results of standing wave measurements show that the SEMPS Y can achieve ultrawideband electromagnetic field measurement of up to 20 GHz. Based on near-field scanning measurements, SEMP Y can obtain results consistent with the calculation. In addition, when the probe is rotated 90° to invalidate the H-field input, the decoupling curves of E-field and H-field are measured.

This study proposes a fault diagnosis method based on a dual-branch interactive fusion network, which improves the accuracy and stability of bearing-fault diagnosis. First, a dual-branch feature representation network comprising an iterative attention-feature fusion residual neural network and a long short-term memory network is designed for extracting different modal features. Meanwhile, intermodal fusion of the extracted features is performed through multilayer perception. Based on the cost-sensitive regularization loss, a new joint loss function is then designed for network training.

It is analytically proven that the proposed metric identifies the focusing time and the source location, with direct links to the source frequency content. The analytical results are verified in a free-space numerical simulation and the proposed metric is then compared to existing ones in a simulated inhomogeneous medium. Next, this metric is applied and compared in an experimental case study to localize electromagnetic interference sources.
