Michelson laser interferometer-based vibration noise contribution measurement method for cold atom interferometry gravimeter

The measurement performance of the atom interferometry absolute gravimeter is strongly affected by the ground vibration noise.We propose a vibration noise evaluation scheme using a Michelson laser interferometer constructed by the intrinsic Raman laser of the atomic gravimeter.Theoretical analysis shows that the vibration phase measurement accuracy is better than 4 mrad,which corresponds to about 10-^10 g accuracy for a single shot gravity measurement.Compared with the commercial seismometer or accelerometer,this method is a simple,low cost,direct,and fully synchronized measurement of the vibration phase which should benefit the development of the atomic gravimeter.On the other side,limited by equivalence principle,the result of the laser interferometer is not absolute but relative vibration measurement.Triangular cap method could be used to evaluation the noise contribution of vibration,which is a different method from others and should benefit the development of the atomic gravimeter.

Diesel Engine Fault Diagnosis with Vibration Signal

When the vibration of diesel engine structure is measured, the signal is composed of a very complex superposition of the contributions of different vibratory sources modified by their respective transmission paths. These sources originate from several internal phenomenon in the engine such as combustion pressure variation, unbalanced reciprocating and rotating parts. In a diesel engine, movement parts work in a specific order. Once the starting point is determined, occurrence of work order in different cycle phases can be determined. This could successfully use to identifying of impulses in complex vibration signal of a diesel engine. From the variation of features of those impulses, it is possible to determine the working condition of the engine. This can use to fault diagnosis of diesel engine, specially faults related to combustion process.

Analysis of blasting damage in adjacent mining excavations

Following a small-scale wedge failure at Yukon Zinc＇s Wolverine Mine in Yukon, Canada, a vibration monitoring program was added to the existing rockbolt pull testing regime. The failure in the 1150 drift occurred after numerous successive blasts in an adjacent tunnel had loosened friction bolts passing through an unmapped fault. Analysis of blasting vibration revealed that support integrity is not compromised unless there is a geological structure to act as a failure plane. The peak particle velocity（PPV） rarely exceeded 250 mm/s with a frequency larger than 50 Hz. As expected, blasting more competent rock resulted in higher PPVs. In such cases, reducing the round length from 3.5 m to 2.0 m was an effective means of limiting potential rock mass and support damage.

Electromechanical coupling properties of a self-powered vibration sensing device for near-surface observation tower monitoring

The wind-induced vibration of a remote sensing tower is the key factor affecting the stability of image sensing and structural reliability. Monitoring the vibration of a long-time unattended tower is critical to its proper operation. Currently, most monitoring devices are supplied with wired power or battery, significantly limiting their practical applications in remote areas. In this paper,a self-powered vibration sensing device based on hybrid electromechanical conversion mechanisms is proposed. The device depends on a cylindrical magnetic levitation structure sensitive to ambient vibration for transferring mechanical energy and is taken as a dual-functional heterogeneous integrated system comprising electromagnetic, piezoelectric, and triboelectric generators. When the device vibrates under environmental force driving, the suspension magnet reciprocates vertically and generates induced electromagnetic energy, which is used to power the device. Moreover, the triboelectric and piezoelectric voltages,respectively originating from magnet impact on two separation friction materials and magnetic field repulsion-induced strain deformation of a piezoelectric sheet, are used as the synergistic sensing signals. To improve the output energy, a set of dualsegmented annular coils is designed in an electromagnetic generator, which greatly avoids the obstructive effect of the suspended magnet on the magnetic flux change at its end. Compared with a whole isochoric coil, it increases the output voltage by 78.3%.For the triboelectric sensing module, a silicone film with a large specific surface area is fabricated via 3D modification, which improves the output voltage by 29.4%. Furthermore, a pair of piezoelectric sensing modules is set to improve the accuracy of comparative sensing data. The experimental measurement shows that the device maintains a high sensitivity of 6.711 V(m s;);and excellent linearity of 0.991 in the range of 0–14 m s;. This work provides a practical strategy for the vibration monitoring of remote sensing towers and exhibits attractive potential in early warning and data analysis.

Measurement-while-drilling technique and its scope in design and prediction of rock blasting

With rampant growth and improvements in drilling technology, drilling of blast holes should no longer be viewed as an arduous sub-process in any mining or excavation process. Instead, it must be viewed as an important opportunity to quickly and accurately measure the geo-mechanical features of the rock mass on-site, much in advance of the downstream operations. It is well established that even the slightest variation in lithology, ground conditions, blast designs vis-a-vis geologic features and explosives performance, results in drastic changes in fragmentation results. Keeping in mind the importance of state-of-the-art measurement-while-drilling （MWD） technique, the current paper focuses on integrating this technique with the blasting operation in order to enhance the blasting designs and results.

In light of this, the paper highlights the future needs and implications on drill monitoring systems for improved information to enhnnrp th~ hl^tin~ r^HIt~

Design of Vibration Sensor Based on Fiber Bragg Grating

Fiber grating is a kind of new type of fiber optic light source device which has been rapidly changing in the refractive index of the core in recent years. Especially, it can realize the high precision of the external parameters by means of the special structure design and the encapsulation technology [1, 2]. In this paper, a fiber grating vibration sensor which is suitable for vibration monitoring in key areas is designed based on the technical background of vibration monitoring system. The sensor uses a single beam structure and pastes the fiber Bragg grating （FBG） to measure the vibration wavelength on the surface. When the vibration is simply harmonic vibration, the Bragg reflection wavelength will change periodically, and the periodic variation of the wavelength curve can be measured by the fiber grating demodulator, then the correctness of the experimental results is verified. In this paper, through the analysis of the data measured by the demodulator, the MATLAB software is used to verify the data, and the different frequency domains, the modes, and the phase frequency curves are obtained. The measurement range is 0Hz-100Hz, and the natural frequency is 90.6Hz.
