Research on Automatic Test System of Engine Blade Natural Frequency

Blades are one of the important components on aircraft engines.If they break due to vibration failure,the normal operation of the entire engine will be offected.Therefore,it is necessary to measure their natural frequency before installing them on the engine to avoid resonance.At present,most blade vibration testing systems require manual operation by operators,which has high requirements for operators and the testing process is also very cumbersome.Therefore,the testing efficiency is low and cannot meet the needs of efficient testing.To solve the current problems of low testing efficiency and high operational requirements,a high-precision and high-efficiency automatic test system is designed.The testing accuracy of this system can reach ±1%,and the testing efficiency is improved by 37% compared to manual testing.Firstly,the influence of compression force and vibration exciter position on natural frequency test is analyzed by amplitude-frequency curve,so as to calibrate servo cylinder and fourdimensional motion platform.Secondly,the sine wave signal is used as the excitation to sweep the blade linearly,and the natural frequency is determined by the amplitude peak in the frequency domain.Finally,the accuracy experiment and efficiency experiment are carried out on the developed test system,whose results verify its high efficiency and high precision.

Aware Time in Bug Fix—A Novel Automatic Test Case Selection for Prioritization of Version Control

The supreme goal of the Automatic Test case selection techniques is to guarantee systematic coverage, to recognize the usual error forms and to lessen the test of redundancy. It is unfeasible to carry out all the test cases consistently. For this reason, the test cases are picked and prioritize it. The major goal of test case prioritization is to prioritize the test case sequence and finds faults as early as possible to improve the efficiency. Regression testing is used to ensure the validity and the enhancement part of the changed software. In this paper, we propose a new path compression technique (PCUA) for both old version and new version of BPEL dataset. In order to analyze the enhancement part of an application and to find an error in an enhancement part of an application, center of the tree has been calculated. Moreover in the comparative analysis, our proposed PCUA- COT technique is compared with the existing XPFG technique in terms of time consuming and error detection in the path of an enhancement part of BPEL dataset. The experimental results have been shown that our proposed work is better than the existing technique in terms of time consuming and error detection.

Automated regression test method for scientific computing libraries:Illustration with SPHinXsys

Scientific computing libraries,whether in-house or open-source,have witnessed enormous progress in both engineering and scientific research.Therefore,it is important to ensure that modifications to the source code,prompted by bug fixing or new feature development,do not compromise the accuracy and functionality that have been already validated and verified.This paper introduces a method for establishing and implementing an automatic regression test environment,using the open-source multi-physics library SPHinXsys as an illustrative example.Initially,a reference database for each benchmark test is generated from observed data across multiple executions.This comprehensive database encapsulates the maximum variation range of metrics for different strategies,including the time-averaged,ensemble-averaged,and dynamic time warping methods.It accounts for uncertainties arising from parallel computing,particle relaxation,physical instabilities,and more.Subsequently,new results obtained after source code modifications undergo testing based on a curve-similarity comparison against the reference database.Whenever the source code is updated,the regression test is automatically executed for all test cases,providing a comprehensive assessment of the validity of the current results.This regression test environment has been successfully implemented in all dynamic test cases within SPHinXsys,including fluid dynamics,solid mechanics,fluid-structure interaction,thermal and mass diffusion,reaction-diffusion,and their multi-physics couplings,and demonstrates robust capabilities in testing different problems.It is noted that while the current test environment is built and implemented for a particular scientific computing library,its underlying principles are generic and can be easily adapted for use with other libraries,achieving equal effectiveness.

Visual inspection of aircraft skin:Automated pixel-level defect detection by instance segmentation

Skin defect inspection is one of the most significant tasks in the conventional process of aircraft inspection.This paper proposes a vision-based method of pixel-level defect detection,which is based on the Mask Scoring R-CNN.First,an attention mechanism and a feature fusion module are introduced,to improve feature representation.Second,a new classifier head—consisting of four convolutional layers and a fully connected layer—is proposed,to reduce the influence of information around the area of the defect.Third,to evaluate the proposed method,a dataset of aircraft skin defects was constructed,containing 276 images with a resolution of 960×720 pixels.Experimental results show that the proposed classifier head improves the detection and segmentation accuracy,for aircraft skin defect inspection,more effectively than the attention mechanism and feature fusion module.Compared with the Mask R-CNN and Mask Scoring R-CNN,the proposed method increased the segmentation precision by approximately 21%and 19.59%,respectively.These results demonstrate that the proposed method performs favorably against the other two methods of pixellevel aircraft skin defect detection.

Efficient Static Compaction of Test Patterns Using Partial Maximum Satisfiability

Static compaction methods aim at finding unnecessary test patterns to reduce the size of the test set as a post-process of test generation.Techniques based on partial maximum satisfiability are often used to track many hard problems in various domains,including artificial intelligence,computational biology,data mining,and machine learning.We observe that part of the test patterns generated by the commercial Automatic Test Pattern Generation(ATPG)tool is redundant,and the relationship between test patterns and faults,as a significant information,can effectively induce the test patterns reduction process.Considering a test pattern can detect one or more faults,we map the problem of static test compaction to a partial maximum satisfiability problem.Experiments on ISCAS89,ISCAS85,and ITC99 benchmarks show that this approach can reduce the initial test set size generated by TetraMAX18 while maintaining fault coverage.
