Bearing Fault Diagnosis Based on Deep Discriminative Adversarial Domain Adaptation Neural Networks

Intelligent diagnosis driven by big data for mechanical fault is an important means to ensure the safe operation ofequipment. In these methods, deep learning-based machinery fault diagnosis approaches have received increasingattention and achieved some results. It might lead to insufficient performance for using transfer learning alone andcause misclassification of target samples for domain bias when building deep models to learn domain-invariantfeatures. To address the above problems, a deep discriminative adversarial domain adaptation neural networkfor the bearing fault diagnosis model is proposed (DDADAN). In this method, the raw vibration data are firstlyconverted into frequency domain data by Fast Fourier Transform, and an improved deep convolutional neuralnetwork with wide first-layer kernels is used as a feature extractor to extract deep fault features. Then, domaininvariant features are learned from the fault data with correlation alignment-based domain adversarial training.Furthermore, to enhance the discriminative property of features, discriminative feature learning is embeddedinto this network to make the features compact, as well as separable between classes within the class. Finally, theperformance and anti-noise capability of the proposedmethod are evaluated using two sets of bearing fault datasets.The results demonstrate that the proposed method is capable of handling domain offset caused by differentworkingconditions and maintaining more than 97.53% accuracy on various transfer tasks. Furthermore, the proposedmethod can achieve high diagnostic accuracy under varying noise levels.

Scheme of negative acoustic radiation force based on a multiple-layered spherical structure

Acoustic radiation force(ARF), as an important particle manipulation method, has been extensively studied in recent years. With the introduction of the concept of “acoustic tweezers”, negative acoustic radiation has become a research hotspot. In this paper, a scheme of realizing negative ARF based on the multiple-layered spherical structure design is proposed. The specific structure and design idea are presented. Detailed theoretical calculation analysis is carried out.Numerical simulations have been performed to verify the correctness of this prediction. The conjecture that the suppression of backscattering can achieve negative ARF is verified concretely, which greatly expands the application prospect and design ideas of the ARF. This work has laid a theoretical foundation for realizing precise control of the structure.

理想流体中多孔球形粒子的声辐射力的研究

主要根据Biot-Stoll多孔介质理论,推导了平面波入射到理想流体中多孔球形粒子的声散射系数以及所受声辐射力表达式,通过数值模拟分析了开孔和闭孔情况下多孔球形粒子在不同体孔隙率、不同面孔隙率以及不同药物材料下所受的声辐射力大小,并利用有限元仿真对理论结果进行了验证.从结果可以看出体孔隙率越大,多孔粒子所受的声辐射力越大,对于不同的药物粒子,由于各类性质不同,所以相对而言所受的声辐射力的波动较大.研究为流体中粒子的声操控提供了理论基础,有助于从药物材料、孔隙率等方面改善和发展用于医学相关领域的药物操控.

Nonlinear wave propagation in acoustic metamaterials with bilinear nonlinearity

Nonlinear phononic crystals have attracted great interest because of their unique properties absent in linear phononic crystals.However,few researches have considered the bilinear nonlinearity as well as its consequences in acoustic metamaterials.Hence,we introduce bilinear nonlinearity into acoustic metamaterials,and investigate the propagation behaviors of the fundamental and the second harmonic waves in the nonlinear acoustic metamaterials by discretization method,revealing the influence of the system parameters.Furthermore,we investigate the influence of partially periodic nonlinear acoustic metamaterials on the second harmonic wave propagation,and the results suggest that pass-band and band-gap can be transformed into each other under certain conditions.Our findings could be beneficial to the band gap control in nonlinear acoustic metamaterials.

Ultrasonic Scattered Field Distribution of One and Two Cylindrical Solids with Phased Array Technique

The scattered fields of plane waves in a solid from a cylinder or sphere are critical in determining its acoustic characteristics as well as in engineering applications. This paper investigates the scattered field distributions of different incident waves created by elastic cylinders embedded in an elastic isotropic medium. Scattered waves, including longitudinal and transverse waves both inside and outside the cylinder, are described with specific modalities under an incident plane wave. A model with a scatterer embedded in a structural steel matrix and filled with aluminum is developed for comparison with the theoretical solution. The frequency of the plane wave ranged from 235 kHz to 2348 kHz, which corresponds to scaling factors from 0.5 to 5. Scattered field distributions in matrix materials blocked by an elastic cylindrical solid have been obtained by simulation or calculated using existing parameters. The simulation results are in good agreement with the theoretical solution, which supports the correctness of the simulation analysis. Furthermore, ultrasonic phased arrays are used to study scattered fields by changing the characteristics of the incident wave. On this foundation, a partial preliminary study of the scattered field distribution of double cylinders in a solid has been carried out, and the scattered field distribution at a given distance has been found to exhibit particular behaviors at different moments. Further studies on directivities and scattered fields are expected to improve the quantification of scattered images in isotropic solid materials by the phased array technique.

Axial acoustic radiation force on a fluid sphere between two impedance boundaries for Gaussian beam

The acoustic radiation force on a fluid sphere immersed in water between two boundaries given by a Gaussian beam is theoretically and numerically investigated in this work. Based on the finite series method, the Gaussian beam is expressed in terms of Bessel function and a weighting parameter. The effects of the two boundaries concerned in our study is worked out by the image theory. This work also provides a reference when considering the effects of certain factors such as the radius of the sphere and the distance between the sphere and two boundaries. The contrast with the acoustic radiation force on a fluid sphere near only one boundary is also made in this paper. Our study can offer a theoretical basis for acoustics manipulation, acoustic sensors in the field of biomedical ultrasound and material science.

Location of micro-cracks in plates using time reversed nonlinear Lamb waves

A promising tool to detect micro-cracks in plate-like structures is used for generating higher harmonic Lamb waves.In this paper,a method combining nonlinear S0 mode Lamb waves with time reversal to locate micro-cracks is presented and verified by numerical simulations.Two different models,the contact acoustic nonlinearity(CAN)model and the Preisach-Mayergoyz(PM)model,are used to simulate a localized damage in a thin plate.Pulse inversion method is employed to extract the second and fourth harmonics from the received signal.Time reversal is performed to compensate the dispersion of S0 mode Lamb waves.Consequently,the higher harmonics generated from the damaged area can be refocused on their source.By investigating the spatial distribution of harmonic wave packets,the location of micro-cracks will be revealed.The numerical simulations indicate that this method gives accurate locations of the damaged area in a plate.Furthermore,the PM model is proved to be a suitable model to simulate the micro-cracks in plates for generation of higher harmonics.
