Early diagnosis of failures can prevent financial losses and industry downtime. In this article, the author proposes an early fault technique for rotor-bearing faults. The proposed is based on recognition sound signals. measured analyzed three states system: system under normal operating conditions, with faulty bearings, rotor friction. original feature extraction method described, namely, 1/3 ...

an important issue in power generation and petrochemical industries is the monitoring of pipe wall thickness and corrosion/erosion rate. the pipes are usually subject to erosive and/or corrosive environments and any failure could be catastrophic. while periodic manual ultrasonic thickness measurement is the common practice in many industries, in certain cases, where higher accuracies are requir...

The rotor system of the small power unit used in ball pen tip production machine, is discussed in detail. Meanwhile, nonlinear model of the rotor system is established and the related research method is introduced. Furthermore, the stability bifurcation of nonlinear periodic solution is obtained preliminarily. Characteristic comparisons between pseudo-periodic solution and chaotic one are put f...

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the presence of progressively growing pulmonary metastases influences the number and function of alveolar macrophages (AM). Female F344 rats were given i.v. injections of cells from a metastatic variant line of the syngeneic adenocarcinoma MADB-105. At Days 7, 14, 21, and 28 after injection, normal and tumor-bearing animals (3/group) were kille...

background: in intracavitary brachytherapy for gynecological cancers, various techniques are used to locate the anterior rectal wall nearest to the sources but there is no consensus on the best method to do so. this study aimed to compare a technique used routinely in some centers that employs a wire marker to locate the position of the maximum rectal dose point, versus the method recommended b...

This paper proposes a weak signal detection strategy for rolling element bearing fault diagnosis by investigating a new mechanism to realize stochastic resonance (SR) based on the Woods–Saxon (WS) potential. The WS potential has the distinct structure with smooth potential bottom and steep potential wall, which guarantees a stable particle motion within the potential and avoids the unexpected n...
