Optimization of the End Effect of Hilbert-Huang transform(HHT)

In fault diagnosis of rotating machinery, Hil- bert-Huang transform （HHT） is often used to extract the fault characteristic signal and analyze decomposition results in time-frequency domain. However, end effect occurs in HHT, which leads to a series of problems such as modal aliasing and false IMF （Intrinsic Mode Func- tion）. To counter such problems in HHT, a new method is put forward to process signal by combining the general- ized regression neural network （GRNN） with the bound- ary local characteristic-scale continuation （BLCC）. Firstly, the improved EMD （Empirical Mode Decompo- sition） method is used to inhibit the end effect problem that appeared in conventional EMD. Secondly, the gen- erated IMF components are used in HHT. Simulation and measurement experiment for the cases of time domain, frequency domain and related parameters of Hilbert- Huang spectrum show that the method described here can restrain the end effect compared with the results obtained through mirror continuation, as the absolute percentage of the maximum mean of the beginning end point offset and the terminal point offset are reduced from 30.113% and 27.603% to 0.510% and 6.039% respectively, thus reducing the modal aliasing, and eliminating the false IMF components of HHT. The proposed method caneffectively inhibit end effect, reduce modal aliasing and false IMF components, and show the real structure of signal components accuratelX.

Mitigating end effects of EMD using non-equidistance grey model

Aiming at mitigating end effects of empirical mode decomposition （EMD）, a new approach motivated by the non- equidistance grey model （NGM） termed as NGM（1,1） is proposed. Other than trapezoid formulas, the cubic Hermite spline is put forward to improve the accuracy of derivative to the accumulated generating operation （AGO） series. Hopefully, it is worth stressing that the proposed NGM（1,1） model is particularly useful for predicting uncertainty data. Qualitative and quantitative comparisons between the proposed approach and other well-known algorithms are carried out through computer simulations on synthetic as well as natural signals. Simulation results demonstrate the proposed method can reduce end effects and improve the decomposition results of EMD.

A method for constraining the end effect of EMD based on sequential similarity detection and adaptive filter

Aimed at the problem of the end effect when using empirical mode decomposition(EMD),a method for constraining the end effect of EMD is proposed based on sequential similarity detection and adaptive filter.The method divides the signal into many wavelets,and it changes the initial wavelet length to select the best initial wavelet that has the minimum error and maximum number of matching seed wavelets,and the wavelet slopes are used for pre-matching and secondary matching to speed up the matching speed.Then,folded self-adaptive threshold is used to select multiple seed wavelets,and finally the end waveform is predicted and expanded according to the adaptive filter method.The proposed method is used to analyze the non-stationary nonlinear simulation signal and experimental signal,and it is compared with the mirror extension and RBF extension methods.The orthogonality index and similarity index of the EMD results of the extended signal after the proposed method are better than those of the other methods.The results show that the proposed method can better constrain the end effect,and has certain validity,accuracy and stability in solving the end effect problem.

Performance Analysis of Nested-loop Secondary Linear Doubly-fed Machine Considering End Effects

Nested-loop secondary linear doubly-fed machine(NLS-LDFM) is a novel linear machine evolved from rotary brushless doubly-fed induction machine, which has a good application prospect in linear metro. In order to analyze the performance of NLS-LDFM, the mechanism and action rules of end effects are investigated in this paper. Firstly, the mechanism of static and dynamic end effects is analyzed in aspect of direct coupling, winding asymmetry and transient secondary current. Furthermore, based on the winding theory for short primary linear machines, the machine parameters are established qualitatively considering pulsating magnetic field of NLS-LDFM. Finally, the NLS-LDFM performance analysis is supplemented by the finite element algorithm(FEA) simulation and experiments under different operating conditions.

A new method to reduce end effect of linear induction motor

A new method to compensate the end effect of a linear induction motor （LIM） in low-speed maglev vehicles is proposed. With this method, the motors are close to each other so that the front motor＇s exit-end magnetic field extends into the next motor＇s entry zone. As a result, the motor＇s magnetic field traveling wave become continuous and the end effect of short primary LIMs is greatly weakened. In the analysis of the air-gap magnetic field distribution, the LIM is assumedly divided into two identical motors vcith the distances of 20, 40, 60, and gO ram. The results show that the air-gap magnetic field is still continuous within these distances due to LIM＇s end effect. As the distance between two motors increases, the distortion of the air-gap magnetic field becomes more severe. Then, we investigate the relationship between the secondary speed and the thrust in three cases, i.e., a single LIM, two motors divided with 72 mm with pole pitch corrected, and two motors divided with 60 mm without the pole pitch being corrected. We find that the thrust has a small decrease when the speed increases, which means that the magnetic field is already continuous and its amplitude is approximately a constant. Furthermore, the thrust loss of case 3 is more than that of case 2, which indicates that the pole pitch correction is effective.

Researches on End Effects of Permanent Magnet Electromagnetic Launchers

Brushless DC linear motors have considerable advantages of simpler structure,higher efficiency,higher thrust density and so on.They are well suited for many domains such as electromagnetic launch and launch-assist,but it is inevitable that there exist longitudinal end effects in the mover of the motor caused by longitudinal discontinuities.The serious trouble caused by longitudinal end effects is the thrust ripple.Firstly,by using the method of finite element simulation,this paper studies the distribution of magnetic field and energy in the end region when the mover is in different positions in the range of a polar pitch and discusses the effective methods of reducing the longitudinal end effects.Then the law of the influence of different mover length on the longitudinal end effects has been studied by using analytic methods,and the influences of the mover length and its end geometry shape on the longitudinal end effects have been verified for the test model by using the method of finite element simulation.

Visualization study on fluid distribution and end effects in core flow experiments with low-field mri method

Core flow experiment is an important means of simulation experiments to evaluate the effect of displacing agent, but conventionally the internal characteristics in the core cannot be intuitively observed, and then some important information can not be directly acquired by experiments. In this paper, a visualization method was used to detect the water-flooding process by using an improved low field nuclear magnetic resonance imaging（MRI） device, and the images describing the distribution of oil and water were collected. The experimental results show that the distribution of oil and water can be visually detected in an appropriate range of core porosity, and the end effect in many mechanics experiments is found to exist also in natural core flow test, and the influence range is about 0.004 m from the end of a 0.05752 m length natural core. The results also indicate that MRI is an effective tool to study the real time fluid distribution in natural core.

DECAY RATE OF SAINT-VENANT END EFFECTS FOR PLANE DEFORMATIONS OF PIEZOELECTRIC-PIEZOMAGNETIC SANDWICH STRUCTURES

This paper is concerned with the decay of Saint-Venant end effects for plane deformations of piezoelectric （PE）-piezomagnetic （PM） sandwich structures, where a PM layer is located between two PE layers with the same material properties or reversely. The end of the sandwich structure is subjected to a set of self-equilibrated magneto-electro-elastic loads. The upper and lower surfaces of the sandwich structure axe mechanically free, electrically open or shorted as well as magnetically open or shorted. Firstly the constitutive equations of PE mate- rials and PM materials for plane strain are given and normalized. Secondly, the simplified state space approach is employed to arrange the constitutive equations into differential equations in a matrix form. Finally, by using the transfer matrix method, the characteristic equations for eigen- values or decay rates axe derived. Based on the obtained characteristic equations, the decay rates for the PE-PM-PE and PM-PE-PM sandwich structures are calculated. The influences of the electromagnetic boundary conditions, material properties of PE layers and volume fraction on the decay rates are discussed in detail.

Realizing profits immediately:disposition effect of open-end fund investors in China

This paper explores the disposition effect, the tendency of investors to hold losing investments too long and sell winning investments too soon, by analyzing a unique data set that consists of the buying and selling positions of open-end fund investors in China. Results show that investors' buying and selling behaviors are significantly affected by fund performance. The reasons that lie behind such results are mainly related to the non-persistence of fund performance. When fund performance is non-persistent, investors are not clear about the future returns on funds. So, investors, especially individual investors, would have to realize the profits on hand immediately. Meanwhile, fund investors are highly sensitive to fund age and loading fees, but not sensitive to management fees charged by funds when they buy or sell fund shares.

Study on the squeezing effect of open-ended pipe piles

During the installation of a pipe pile,the soil around the pile will be squeezed out. This paper deals with this squeezing effect of open-ended pipe piles using the cylindrical cavity expansion theory. The characteristics of soil with different tension and compression moduli and dilation are involved by applying the elastic theory with different moduli and logarithmic strain. The closed-form solutions of the radius of the plastic region,the displacement of the boundary between the plastic region and the elastic region and the expansion pressure on the external surface of the pipe piles are obtained. When obtaining these solutions,the soil plug in the open-ended pipe pile is considered by employing an incremental filling ratio to quantify the degree of soil plugging. Moreover,the effects of the ratio of tension and compression moduli,angle of dilation and incremental filling ratio on the radius of the plastic region and the expansion pressure on the external surface of the pipe pile are investigated. The parametric analyses show that it is necessary and important to consider the difference between the tension modulus and compression modulus,dilation angle and incremental filling ratio for studying the squeezing effect of open-ended pipe pile installation. It is concluded that the analytical solutions presented in this paper are suitable for studying the squeezing effect of open-ended pipe piles.
