Reliability Bounds based on Universal Generating Function and Discrete Stress-strength Interference Model

A method for estimating the component reliability is proposed when the probability density functions of stress and strength can not be exactly determined. For two groups of finite experimental data about the stress and strength, an interval statistics method is introduced. The processed results are formulated as two interval-valued random variables and are graphically represented component reliability are proposed based on the by using two histograms. The lower and upper bounds of universal generating function method and are calculated by solving two discrete stress-strength interference models. The graphical calculations of the proposed reliability bounds are presented through a numerical example and the confidence of the proposed reliability bounds is discussed to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method. It is showed that the proposed reliability bounds can undoubtedly bracket the real reliability value. The proposed method extends the exciting universal generating function method and can give an interval estimation of component reliability in the case of lake of sufficient experimental data. An application example is given to illustrate the proposed method

Improved Discrete Interval-Valued Stress-Strength Interference Model Based on Extended Universal Generating Function

In practical engineering,sometimes the probability density functions( PDFs) of stress and strength can not be exactly determined,or only limited experiment data are available. In these cases,the traditional stress-strength interference( SSI) model based on classical probabilistic approach can not be used to evaluate reliabilities of components. To solve this issue, the traditional universal generating function( UGF) is introduced and then it is extended to represent the discrete interval-valued random variable.Based on the extended UGF,an improved discrete interval-valued SSI model is proposed, which has higher calculation precision compared with the existing methods. Finally,an illustrative case is given to demonstrate the validity of the proposed model.

Incoherent addition of summing multiple interfering signals is assumed. We propose an approximate method that uses the generalized Gram-Charlier series to analyze the error of the reference model. The approximate method is not only simple but also with neglectable errors. The methods proposed could be very useful in practical system design and analysis.

Packet Scheduling in Rechargeable Wireless Sensor Networks under SINR Model

Two packet scheduling algorithms for rechargeable sensor networks are proposed based on the signal to interference plus noise ratio model.They allocate different transmission slots to conflicting packets and overcome the challenges caused by the fact that the channel state changes quickly and is uncontrollable.The first algorithm proposes a prioritybased framework for packet scheduling in rechargeable sensor networks.Every packet is assigned a priority related to the transmission delay and the remaining energy of rechargeable batteries,and the packets with higher priority are scheduled first.The second algorithm mainly focuses on the energy efficiency of batteries.The priorities are related to the transmission distance of packets,and the packets with short transmission distance are scheduled first.The sensors are equipped with low-capacity rechargeable batteries,and the harvest-store-use model is used.We consider imperfect batteries.That is,the battery capacity is limited,and battery energy leaks over time.The energy harvesting rate,energy retention rate and transmission power are known.Extensive simulation results indicate that the battery capacity has little effect on the packet scheduling delay.Therefore,the algorithms proposed in this paper are very suitable for wireless sensor networks with low-capacity batteries.

Modelling and Simulation of Scraper Reliability for Maintenance

A scraper conveyor is a kind of heavy machinery which can continuously transport goods and widely used in mines, ports and store enterprises. Since scraper failure rate directly affects production costs and production capacity, the evaluation and the prediction of scraper conveyor reliability are important for these enterprises. In this paper, the reliabilities of different parts are classified and discussed according to their structural characteristics and different failure factors. Based on the component＇s time-to-failure density function, the reliability model of scraper chain is constructed to track the age distribution of part population and the reliability change of the scraper chain. Based on the stress-strength interference model, considering the decrease of strength due to fatigue failure, the dynamic reliability model of such component as gear, axis is developed to observe the change of the part reliability with the service time of scraper. Finally, system reliability model of the scraper is established for the maintenance to simulate and calculate the scraper reliability.

FATIGUE RELIABILITY CALCULATION MODEL FOR COMPONENT UNDER RANDOM LOADING

in reliability design of fatigue under random loading, the influence of loading se-quence must be considered. In order to avoid the uneertain hypothesis in the Miner's rule, ie. thatthe sum of damage equals one represents failure, this paper proposes the probabilistic relativeMine's rule. This paper also presents a new method for calculating reliability, ie. the syntheticmethod of Miner's rule and interference model. This model considers not only the influence ofstress concentration, dimension and surface, but also the influence of stress amplitude and se-quence.

Sub-external cavity effect and elimination method in laser self-mixing interference wave plate measurement system

Laser self-mixing interference（SMI） wave plate measurement method is a burgeoning technique for its simplicity and efficiency. But for the non-coated sample, the reflected light from the surface can seriously affect the measurement results.To analyze the reason theoretically, a self-consistent model for laser operation with a sub-external and an external cavity is established, and the sub-external cavity formed by the sample and a cavity mirror is proved to be the main error source.A synchronous tuning method is proposed to eliminate the sub-external cavity effect. Experiments are carried out on the synchronously tuning double external cavities self-mixing interference system, and the error of the system is in the range of -0.435°~0.387° compared with the ellipsometer. The research plays an important role in improving the performance and enlarging the application range of the laser self-mixing interference system.

Ultrabroadband chiral metasurface for linear polarization conversion and asymmetric transmission based on enhanced interference theory

In this paper,we propose an ultrabroadband chiral metasurface(CMS)composed of S-shaped resonator structures situated between two twisted subwavelength gratings and dielectric substrate.This innovative structure enables ultrabroadband and high-efficiency linear polarization(LP)conversion,as well as asymmetric transmission(AT)effect in the microwave region.The enhanced interference effect of the Fabry-Perot-like resonance cavity greatly expands the bandwidth and efficiency of LP conversion and AT effect.Through numerical simulations,it has been revealed that the cross-polarization transmission coefficients for normal forward(-z)and backward(+z)incidence exceed 0.8 in the frequency range of 4.13 to 17.34 GHz,accompanied by a polarization conversion ratio of over 99%.Furthermore,our microwave experimental results validate the consistency among simulation,theory,and measurement.Additionally,we elucidate the distinct characteristics of ultrabroadband LP conversion and significant AT effect through analysis of polarization azimuth rotation and ellipticity angles,total transmittance,AT coefficient,and electric field distribution.The proposed CMS structure shows excellent polarization conversion properties via AT effect and has potential applications in areas such as radar,remote sensing,and satellite communication.

A method for aircraft magnetic interference compensation based on small signal model and LMS algorithm

Aeromagnetic interference could not be compensated effectively if the precision of parameters which are solved by the aircraft magnetic field model is low. In order to improve the compensation effect under this condition, a method based on small signal model and least mean square（LMS） algorithm is proposed. According to the method, the initial values of adaptive filter＇s weight vector are calculated with the solved model parameters through small signal model at first,then the small amount of direction cosine and its derivative are set as the input of the filter, and the small amount of the interference is set as the filter＇s expected vector. After that, the aircraft magnetic interference is compensated by LMS algorithm. Finally, the method is verified by simulation and experiment. The result shows that the compensation effect can be improved obviously by the LMS algorithm when original solved parameters have low precision. The method can further improve the compensation effect even if the solved parameters have high precision.

GSM Co-Channel and Adjacent Channel Interference Analysis and Optimization

Most current Global System for Mobile Communications （GSM） frequency planning methods evaluate the interference and assign frequencies based on measurement reports. Assigning the same or adjacent frequencies to cells close to each other will introduce co-channel and adjacent channel interference which will reduce network performance. Traditionally, man power is used to check and allocate new frequencies which is time consuming and the accuracy is not satisfactory. This paper presents an intelligent analysis method for optimization of co-channel and adjacent channel interference by exploiting cell configuration information. The method defines an interference evaluation model by analyzing various factors such as the base station layer, the azimuth ward relationship, and the cell neighborhood relationships. The interference for each frequency is evaluated and the problem frequencies are optimized. This method is verified by a large number of actual datasets from an in-service GSM network. The results show this method has better intelligence, accuracy, timeliness, and visualization than traditional methods.

Adaptive suppression of passive intermodulation in digital satellite transceivers

For the performance issues of satellite transceivers suffering passive intermodulation interference,a novel and effective digital suppression algorithm is presented in this paper.In contrast to analog approaches,digital passive intermodulation（PIM） suppression approaches can be easily reconfigured and therefore are highly attractive for future satellite communication systems.A simplified model of nonlinear distortion from passive microwave devices is established in consideration of the memory effect.The multiple high-order PIM products falling into the receiving band can be described as a bilinear predictor function.A suppression algorithm based on a bilinear polynomial decorrelated adaptive filter is proposed for baseband digital signal processing.In consideration of the time-varying characteristics of passive intermodulation,this algorithm can achieve the rapidness of online interference estimation and low complexity with less consumption of resources.Numerical simulation results show that the algorithm can effectively compensate the passive intermodulation interference,and achieve a high signal-to-interference ratio gain.
