Abstract Modal parameters can accurately characterize the structural dynamic properties and assess the physical state of the structure. Therefore, it is particularly significant to identify the structural modal parameters according to the monitoring data information in the structural health monitoring (SHM) system, so as to provide a scientific basis for structural damage identification and dynamic model modification. In view of this, this paper reviews methods for identifying structural modal parameters under environmental excitation and briefly describes how to identify structural damages based on the derived modal parameters. The paper primarily introduces data-driven modal parameter recognition methods… More >

Abstract The supply of hydrogen-blended natural gas to civil and industrial users can assist downstream firm to achieve carbon emission reduction, and ensure energy security as an alternative gas source. This application mode has been widely concerned by urban gas enterprises. This paper focuses on the leakage problem of hydrogen-blended pipelines in utility tunnel due to corrosion and other reasons. Using dimensional analysis method, a model experiment is designed to verify that the three-dimensional compressible fluid model coupled with transport equations can effectively simulate the concentration change of hydrogen-blended natural gas after leakage in the utility… More >

Abstract This paper reveals the interplay mechanism between melt pool, spattering and vapors, aiming to further improve the forming quality through in-situ monitoring with a CMOS camera. A Residual Network based on Convolutional Block Attention Module and Focal loss function is proposed to extract multi-scale features of single tracks and learn about their behavior changes. A t-SNE clustering analysis is utilized to analysis a large amount of time sequence data on the melt pool by collecting the schlieren photographs. It is found that patterns of unstable melt pool changing corelate to the defects in single tracks, More >

Abstract Fused deposition modeling (FDM) with foaming materials offers the capability to generate internal porous structures through in-situ foaming, imparting favorable characteristics such as weight reduction, shock absorption, thermal insulation, and sound insulation to printed objects. However, the process planning for this technology presents challenges due to the difficulty in accurately controlling the foaming rate, stemming from a complex underlying mechanism that remains poorly understood. This study introduces a multi-sensor platform for FDM with foaming materials, facilitating in-situ process monitoring of temperature field information during material modeling and quality evaluation of printed objects, i.e., abnormal foaming… More >

Abstract Considering experimental testing data is costly, and sensor data is often sparse, while simulation analysis provides overall strength information with lower accuracy, a digital twin framework is proposed for full-field structural strength assessment and prediction. The framework is mainly divided into two stages. In the offline stage, the simulation model of the structure is established, and the sensor layouts are completed. Then, the DNN pre-training model is constructed based on the reduced simulation data. In the online stage, the experimentally measured data are predicted to obtain the time-series sensors data, and the traditional transfer learning… More >

Abstract The security performance of cloud services is a key factor influencing users’ selection of Cloud Service Providers (CSPs). Continuous monitoring of the security status of cloud services is critical. However, existing research lacks a practical framework for such ongoing monitoring. To address this gap, this paper proposes the first Non-Collaborative Container-Based Cloud Service Operation State Continuous Monitoring Framework (NCCMF), based on relevant standards. NCCMF operates without the CSP’s collaboration by: 1) establishing a scalable supervisory index system through the identification of security responsibilities for each role, and 2) designing a Continuous Metrics Supervision Protocol (CMA) More >
