An improved simplex-based adaptive evolutionary digital filter and its application for fault detection of rolling element bearings

The de-noising performance and convergence behavior of the adaptive evolutionary digital filter (EDF) are restricted by the factors of constant evolutionary coefficients and taking the reciprocal of average energy of residual signal as the fitness function. In this paper, an improved adaptive evolutionary digital filter based on the simplex method (EDF-SM) is proposed to overcome the shortcomings of the original EDF. A new evolutionary rule was constructed by introducing the simplex-based mutating method and by then combining this with the original cloning and mating methods. The reciprocal of sample entropy was taken as the fitness function and variable evolutionary coefficients were employed. Numerical examples show that the proposed EDF-SM exhibits a higher convergence rate and a better de-noising behavior than the other EDFs. The effectiveness of the proposed method in discovering fault characteristics and detecting faults of rolling element bearings is supported using an experimental test.     

Comparison of piezo electric particle monitor with laser diffraction technique

A piezo electric particle monitor was used to record droplet size distributions at 5 bars with nitrogen as gas phase and Exxol D60 as liquid phase. The measurements were compared with a laser diffraction technique. A discussion of the limitations of the methods is given. The results show that the piezo electric particle monitor is a good method for measuring droplet size distributions at given conditions.     

A high accurate static contact angle algorithm based on Hough transformation

The static contact angle for blurry drop images is more intricate to obtain. To improve the accuracy of the Hough transformation for the static contact angle calculation, the water drop images with different volumes are generated by the Laplace equation, and the influence of the volume on the accuracy of the Hough transformation is analyzed. The results reveal that the circle Hough transformation is particularly well suited to the cases with small drop volume. At the same time, the critical water drop volume value corresponding to a contact angle error of 3° is given, a modified Hough transformation algorithm in conjunction with the critical water drop volume is proposed, and at the same time, the accuracy of the static contact angle calculation for blurry water drop images is significantly improved. The proposed algorithm is a powerful approach to estimate the static contact angle for blurry water drop images.

Thermal expansion of carbon–epoxy laminates measured with embedded FBGS – Comparison with other experimental techniques and numerical simulation

This paper deals with a mixed experimental–theoretical approach aiming to evaluate information given by optical fiber Bragg gratings embedded in carbon–epoxy laminates submitted to thermal expansion. FBG instrumented elementary and structural specimens are considered. The study is undertaken through a comparison of values obtained on the one hand experimentally with high temperature resisting foil gages and thermo mechanical analysis (TMA) and on the other hand numerically through a non linear FEM simulation. Discrepancies are observed when specimens are of UD type and good agreements appear when specimens are of approaching isotropic stacking sequence. To some extent, transverse effects are suspected to have a non negligible influence on the strain information delivered by the embedded FBG.
