A Study on Technological Dynamics in Structural Health Monitoring Using Intelligent Fault Diagnosis Techniques:A Patent-Based Approach

The performance and reliability of structural components are greatly influenced by the presence of any abnormality in them.To this purpose,structural health monitoring(SHM)is recognized as a necessary tool to ensure the safety precautions and efficiency of both mechanical and civil infrastructures.Till now,most of the previous work has emphasized the functioning of several SHM techniques and systematic changes in SHM execution.However,there exist insufficient data in the literature regarding the patent-based technological developments in the SHM research domain which might be a useful source of detailed information for worldwide research institutes.To address this research gap,a method based on the Co-Operative Patent Classification(CPC)codes is proposed in the current study.The proposed method includes the patent analysis of SHM in terms of its global publication trend and technology-based applications.This analysis is performed using patent database search tools,namely,IncoPat and Espacenet.The period ranging from 2005 to 2019 is selected to retrieve the required patent documents.A new approach termed as Patents’value is utilized to investigate the technological impact of a patent in the form of forward citations,technical stability,and scope of protection.The identification of emerging SHM techniques and forecasting of vacant technology is also part of current research work.The research results have revealed the increasing trend in the number of published patents each year related to various SHM technologies.In this regard,China,the United States,and South Korea are notified as to the major depositor countries,respectively.Hence,mapping of patent data in this research is an effort to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method to demonstrate the development trends and dynamic inventions over the time in SHM research domain to achieve the optimal damage inspections of various mechanical components.

Vibration Control Research for the 3rd Generation Synchrotron Light Source Storage Ring Mechanical Components

The 3rd generation synchrotron light source requires high level of electron beam orbit stability.Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF) is a 3rd generation light source under construction;its orbit stability requirement is up to micro or sub-micro range.The storage ring mechanical components vibration caused by the ground motion would influence the orbit stability.The ground motion of SSRF is severe.It is essential to control the vibration of the mechanical components.Vibration damping is an effective method to control the vibration.The author designed a vibration damping structure for the SSRF mechanical components.The test results show that it can effectively control the mechanical vibration.

Explicit Topology Optimization with Moving Morphable Component(MMC)Introduction Mechanism

In this article,an explicit topology optimization approach with components-growing ability is proposed under the moving morphable component(MMC)framework.In this approach,the shape and topology layout of structures are explicitly optimized by growth evolution of moving morphable components.To this end,a competition criterion is developed to optimize the structural layout from two options:adding several new components or changing the current layout.In addition,some numerical technqiues are also developed to preserve the stability of the iterative process.The present topology optimization approach allows rational generation of new components and does not require a specific distribution of components in the initial design,which is compulsory for the conventional MMC method.Three numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.The optimization results indicate that the proposed method does have the potential to improve the existing MMC-based explicit topology optimization framework by eliminating the initial design dependency of optimal solutions.

Designing for change： The poetic potential of responsive architecture

The integration of responsive components in architecture offers the potential to enhance the experience of the building by giving expression to fleeting, changeable aspects of the environment. Responsive buildings enable a physical response to changes in the environment through specific building elements; in rare cases these responsive elements become an integral and poetic element of a culturally significant work of architecture. In this paper I examine two types of responsiveness, one which concerns the changing environment and another the activities and needs of the building＇s inhabitants. I took at two examples of buildings that illustrate a potential poetic rote for architectural components responding to these two types of change, and propose that architects will need to acquire experience with designing for specific rates, scales and types of change before responsive elements will more frequently appear as a poetic and integral part of the building.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of multi-principal component AlCoCrFeNiCu_x alloy

By introducing Cu, AlCoCrFeNiCux （x values in molar ratio, x = 0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5） alloys were designed and prepared. The effects of Cu on microstructure and properties of Al Co Cr Fe Ni alloy were investigated. The introduction of Cu results in the formation of Cu-rich FCC solid solution phase when Cu content is low.There are two FCC solid solution phases, i.e., Cu-rich FCC solid solution phase and phase transformation-induced FCC solid solution phase, when the Cu content is more than 1.0. Both the yield stress and plastic strain of alloy show a turning point when the Cu content is 0.5. Among the seven alloys, Cu0.5 alloy exhibits the largest yield stress of 1187 MPa and the lowest plastic strain of 16.01 %.
