Implementation of Envelope Analysis on a Wireless Condition Monitoring System for Bearing Fault Diagnosis

 Envelope analysis is an effective method for characterizing impulsive vibrations in wired condition monitoring (CM) systems. This paper depicts the implementation of envelope analysis on a wireless sensor node for obtaining a more convenient and reliable CM system. To maintain CM performances under the constraints of resources available in the cost effective Zigbee based wireless sensor network (WSN), a low cost cortex-M4F microcontroller is employed as the core processor to implement the envelope analysis algorithm on the sensor node. The on-chip 12 bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) working at 10 kHz sampling rate is adopted to acquire vibration signals measured by a wide frequency band piezoelectric accelerometer. The data processing flow inside the processor is optimized to satisfy the large memory usage in implementing fast Fourier transform (FFT) and Hilbert transform (HT). Thus, the envelope spectrum can be computed from a data frame of 2048 points to achieve a frequency resolution acceptable for identifying the characteristic frequencies of different bearing faults. Experimental evaluation results show that the embedded envelope analysis algorithm can successfully diagnose the simulated bearing faults and the data transmission throughput can be reduced by at least 95% per frame compared with that of the raw data, allowing a large number of sensor nodes to be deployed in the network for real time monitoring.     

Distinct element method analysis of a retaining wall using a steel frame and fill materials

A technique is developed to clearly establish the shear resistance of a cellular structure, retaining wall composed of a steel frame and fill materials with both continuous and discontinuous characteristics. To overcome the limitation of the existing analysis approach based on continuum mechanics, in which the shear behavior and interaction between the frames and fill material of this type of structure are difficult to describe, this paper introduces displacement incremental analysis into the distinct element method. The results obtained by using the proposed approach are compared with experimental results to verify its accuracy. The results show an internal friction angle of fill materials and overburdening load are major factor determining the shear resistance of a retaining wall with a cellular structure type. From the results of the parametric study on the shear behavior of this type of structure, this paper also proposes a shear resistance moment-shear displacement formula for designing a retaining wall with a cellular structure type.

一种路由设备服务可信属性定义方法与可信路由协议设计

受主观意志和研发能力影响,路由设备生产商难以严格按其对用户承诺提供路由产品,导致设备及其组件中可能存在漏洞与后门,这将给核心网络带来严重的安全威胁。文章为此提出一种路由设备服务可信属性的定义和动态测量方法,并设计相应的可信路由协议,以优化核心网络服务可信属性,促进网络信息传输安全。文章首先分析核心网络范围内网络服务可信属性与信息传输安全的关系,论证通过量化路由设备服务可信属性,同时基于该属性设计可信路由协议,可实现设备资源受限条件下信息传输安全效益的最大化。其次引入"信任度"的概念定义路由设备服务可信属性,在设计基于设备信任度和当前互联网在用路由协议的域内域间可信路由协议的基础上,理论证明上述协议下最优可信路由的存在。接着提出一种基于分组可信路由与实际转发路径一致性检测的路由设备信任度动态量化技术。最后构造可信路由网络模型,检测可信路由协议的安全效益及其对传统路由开销的影响,结果显示可信路由可显著增加信息传输的安全性,其带来的传统路由开销的增长及路由变化的频率与幅度可容忍。
