Abstract Railway switch machine is essential for maintaining the safety and punctuality of train operations. A data-driven fault diagnosis scheme for railway switch machine using tensor machine and multi-representation monitoring data is developed herein. Unlike existing methods, this approach takes into account the spatial information of the time series monitoring data, aligning with the domain expertise of on-site manual monitoring. Besides, a multi-sensor fusion tensor machine is designed to improve single signal data’s limitations in insufficient information. First, one-dimensional signal data is preprocessed and transformed into two-dimensional images. Afterward, the fusion feature tensor is created by More >

Abstract Locomotor intent classification has become a research hotspot due to its importance to the development of assistive robotics and wearable devices. Previous work have achieved impressive performance in classifying steady locomotion states. However, it remains challenging for these methods to attain high accuracy when facing transitions between steady locomotion states. Due to the similarities between the information of the transitions and their adjacent steady states. Furthermore, most of these methods rely solely on data and overlook the objective laws between physical activities, resulting in lower accuracy, particularly when encountering complex locomotion modes such as transitions.… More >

Abstract Angular contact ball bearings have been widely used in machine tool spindles, and the bearing preload plays an important role in the performance of the spindle. In order to solve the problems of the traditional optimal preload prediction method limited by actual conditions and uncertainties, a roller bearing preload test method based on the improved D-S evidence theory multi-sensor fusion method was proposed. First, a novel controllable preload system is proposed and evaluated. Subsequently, multiple sensors are employed to collect data on the bearing parameters during preload application. Finally, a multisensor fusion algorithm is used More >

Abstract The transmission line tower will be affected by bad weather and artificial subsidence caused by the foundation and other factors in the power transmission. The tower’s tilt and severe deformation will cause the building to collapse. Many small changes caused the tower’s collapse, but the early staff often could not intuitively notice the changes in the tower’s state. In the current tower online monitoring system, terminal equipment often needs to replace batteries frequently due to premature exhaustion of power. According to the need for real-time measurement of power line tower, this research designed a real-time… More >

Abstract The deployment of vehicle micro-motors has witnessed an expansion owing to the progression in electrification and intelligent technologies. However, some micro-motors may exhibit design deficiencies, component wear, assembly errors, and other imperfections that may arise during the design or manufacturing phases. Consequently, these micro-motors might generate anomalous noises during their operation, consequently exerting a substantial adverse influence on the overall comfort of drivers and passengers. Automobile micro-motors exhibit a diverse array of structural variations, consequently leading to the manifestation of a multitude of distinctive auditory irregularities. To address the identification of diverse forms of abnormal… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are spatially distributed to independent sensor networks that can sense physical characteristics such as temperature, sound, pressure, energy, and so on. WSNs have secure link to physical environment and robustness. Data Aggregation (DA) plays a key role in WSN, and it helps to minimize the Energy Consumption (EC). In order to have trustworthy DA with a rate of high aggregation for WSNs, the existing research works have focused on Data Routing for In-Network Aggregation (DRINA). Yet, there is no accomplishment of an effective balance between overhead and routing. But EC required… More >

Abstract Sensors based Human Activity Recognition (HAR) have numerous applications in eHeath, sports, fitness assessments, ambient assisted living (AAL), human-computer interaction and many more. The human physical activity can be monitored by using wearable sensors or external devices. The usage of external devices has disadvantages in terms of cost, hardware installation, storage, computational time and lighting conditions dependencies. Therefore, most of the researchers used smart devices like smart phones, smart bands and watches which contain various sensors like accelerometer, gyroscope, GPS etc., and adequate processing capabilities. For the task of recognition, human activities can be broadly… More >

Abstract To enhance the predictive condition-based maintenance (CBMS), a reliable automatic Drivetrain fault detection technique based on vibration monitoring is proposed. Accelerometer sensors are mounted on a wind turbine drivetrain at different spatial locations to measure the vibration from multiple vibration sources. In this work, multi-channel signals are fused and monocomponent modes of oscillation are reconstructed by the Multivariate Empirical Mode Decomposition (MEMD) Technique. Noise assisted methodology is adapted to palliate the mixing of modes with common frequency scales. The instantaneous amplitude envelope and instantaneous frequency are estimated with the Hilbert transform. Low order and high More >

Abstract Wireless sensor networks are increasingly used in sensitive event monitoring. However, various abnormal data generated by sensors greatly decrease the accuracy of the event detection. Although many methods have been proposed to deal with the abnormal data, they generally detect and/or repair all abnormal data without further differentiate. Actually, besides the abnormal data caused by events, it is well known that sensor nodes prone to generate abnormal data due to factors such as sensor hardware drawbacks and random effects of external sources. Dealing with all abnormal data without differentiate will result in false detection or More >
