2023, 42(1): 1-23. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.20200489
Abstract:
Rolling bearing are a key component of rotating machinery, and remaining useful life prediction of them will be of great significance to production, maintenance and personal safety. Due to the complex and changeable working environment of the rolling bearing, there are fewer reference samples in the same working condition but more in different working conditions. Moreover, the samples have the characteristics of unbalanced, incomplete, no label and noise interference, which increases the difficulty of RUL prediction. With the advent of the era of big data and the development of artificial intelligence, rolling bearing RUL prediction methods have become more abundant. Therefore, based on the framework of prognosis and health management, the failure modes and fault data characteristics of the rolling bearing are stated, methods concerning fault feature extraction, dimension reduction and fusion, as well as the obtained performance degradation indicators are respectively classified and contrastive analysis are performed. Combining with the data driven algorithms, the prediction approach, model selection and evaluation criteria of rolling bearing RUL are sorted and compared. Finally, the future development trend of rolling bearing RUL prediction is prospected.

2023, 42(1): 24-30. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.20220020
Abstract:
Aiming at the problem of accurate classification of compound faults of planetary gearboxes, a fault diagnosis method combining improved adaptive noise complete set empirical mode decomposition (ICEEMDAN) and support vector machine (SVM) is proposed in this study. First, the different fault signals of the planetary gearbox are decomposed by ICEEMDAN to obtain the intrinsic mode function (IMF) of each order. Second, the correlation between the IMF component of each order and the original signal is used to remove the false IMF component. Finally, the multi-scale fuzzy entropy average value of the preferred IMF component is used as the feature vector and input into the multi-class SVM to accomplish fault classification. The classification accuracy is as high as 100%. The experimental results prove the feasibility of this method.

2023, 42(1): 31-37. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.20200562
Abstract:
In order to solve the problem of early fault detection of rolling bearings, a performance degradation assessment model of rolling bearings combining variable mode decomposition (VMD) symbol entropy and support vector data description (SVDD) was proposed in study. Firstly, the vibration signal is decomposed by VMD and the symbol entropy of each component is extracted. Then, the Z value of double samples is used to evaluate the symbol entropy of each component, and the feature with the largest Z value of double samples is selected as the feature vector. After feature extraction, SVDD model is finally used to evaluate performance degradation, and life cycle data is used to verify the model. The experimental results show that this model can better show the performance degradation law of rolling bearings compared with permutation entropy (PE) feature extraction method and fuzzy c-means clustering (FCM) method.

LIN Yun, GUO Yu, LIU Zhen
2023, 42(1): 53-58. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.20200578
Abstract:
The spectrum amplitude modulation (SAM) method, which was proposed recently, can be used to do the feature extraction of different fault signals by adjusting the exponential of amplitude adaptively, and it has a quite good practical perspective. However, the exponential of amplitude of this method still needs to be judged manually, which leads to the result that it can not be used to extract the fault features automatically. Moreover, when the fault features are interfered by complex disturbances, it is difficult to select the optimal exponential of amplitude manually. Therefore, a robust amplitude exponential adaptive spectral amplitude modulation method is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the signal is converted to angular domain by angle domain resampling, and then the shock characteristics generated by the faulty planet bearing are enhanced by the multipoint optimal minimum entropy deconvolution adjusted (MOMEDA). Finally, the exponential of cepstrum amplitude in SAM is adaptively selected with ICS2 (indicator of second order cyclostationary). The cepstrum signal is calculated by the optimal exponential of amplitude, in this way, the problem that the SAM method cannot automatically extract fault features is solved. The fault feature extraction of inner race of planetary bearing is verified. Experimental results show that the proposed method can adaptively extract fault features of inner race of planetary bearing under complex interference.

2023, 42(1): 59-66. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.20200573
Abstract:
The complex gas-liquid two-phase flow occurs in the torque limited hydrodynamic coupling, in order to grasp the internal flow field distribution and torque characteristics of the torque limited hydrodynamic coupling, the internal flow field of the coupling was simulated by solving VOF(Volume of fluid) and Mixture two-phase flow model, and its torque characteristics was monitored. The gas-liquid two-phase distribution inside the coupling obtained by the VOF model, the internal pressure and velocity distribution obtained by the Mixture model can better reflect the change of the internal flow field of the coupling. The simulation results show that the VOF model can better simulate the torque drop of the coupling caused by the transition of the flow regime; the Mixture model cannot simulate this effect, but the torque under high or low speed ratios still have certain reference significance.

WANG Kai, JIANG Shengfei, HU Bo, ZHANG Xiaodong
2023, 42(1): 67-74. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.20230073
Abstract:
During the installation and operation of transmission equipment, there always are bearing clearance problems, which is also one of the main reasons for bearing failure. Therefore, the research on the bearing clearance has important theoretical significance and engineering value. In order to determine the influence of bearing clearance on bearing vibration, the theoretical model of 2-DOF rolling bearing was established based on the dynamic characteristics of bearing vibration. For the tested bearing, the dynamic characteristics of the rolling bearing is analyzed based on the Hertz-elastic contact theory. It is known that the number of balance points of the inner ring of the bearing depends on the clearance of the bearing. When there is a gap (e < 4.5 μm) in the bearing, there is the stable equilibrium point, and near the center of the balance point, there is periodic vibration in the inner ring of the bearing. When there is a gap(e≥4.5 μm), as the gap and the rotational speed of the bearing increase continuously, the system will generate chaotic vibration, and the area where chaotic vibration occurs is also increasing. At the same time, the experimental results of the Ø127 rolling bearing shows that under the same damping parameters, bearing size and rotational speed, the results of the singular attractors obtained from the experimental data are close to those obtained by solving the equation of motion. This qualitative result not only confirms the existence of bearing chaotic behavior, but also verifies the reliability of the theoretical model.

Abstract:
The axial and radial mixed ventilation structure is adopted in order to improve the ventilation and cooling performance and reduce the operating temperature rise of the motor. Taking a 400 kW medium-sized high voltage motor as an research object, the influence law of temperature rise of the integral motor under steady state condition is studied through magnetic-fluid-solid coupling simulation. The cooling effect of the ventilation structure is quantitatively evaluated by proposing temperature rise uniformity coefficient. The results show that the temperature rise distribution of mixed ventilation structure is more uniform, and the uniformity coefficient of temperature rise is 85.78% and 6.23% higher than that of axial ventilation structure in the inner and outer winding of motor, respectively. The influence of the height and number of radial air ducts on motor temperature rise is further studied. Cooling effect is the best when the height is 6 mm and the number of radial duct is 13.

Abstract:
In order to solve the problem of lateral stability control when actuator and sensor faults occur in four-wheel independent driving electric vehicles with parameter uncertainty, an H robust fault-tolerant control method is proposed. A two degree of freedom vehicle dynamic model with parameter uncertainty considering actuator and sensor faults is established by introducing vehicle continuous fault with fault matrix function. The linear matrix inequality method is used to design the lateral stability H robust fault-tolerant controller of vehicle to ensure the asymptotic stability and anti-interference ability of the vehicle dynamics system, and realize that the H robust performance of the control system meets the given interference attenuation target. A joint simulation experiment platform of CarSim and MATLAB/Simulink is built to verify the effectiveness of the controller. Simulation results show that the designed H robust fault-tolerant controller can effectively improve the lateral stability and safety of vehicles, and has good fault-tolerant control ability for vehicle faults.

2023, 42(1): 139-148. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.20200576
Abstract:
Because the efficiency for estimating the state of health (SOH) of a retired lithium battery is low, a fast and efficient estimation method is proposed. Firstly, the third-order RC equivalent circuit model is used to describe the characteristics and obtain the state equation in order to ensure the accuracy of the battery model. At the same time, the state of charge (SOC) and ohmic internal resistance (R0) are introduced as the parameters of the state equation. Secondly, the region concept was used to calculate the specific region capacity and region voltage so as to reduce the data and time needed for battery parameter estimation. The battery parameters SOC and R0 were estimated with the extended Kalman filtering (EKF) algorithm, and then the SOH of the battery was estimated. Finally, a battery test device (Arbin-BT2000) was used to conduct charging and discharging experiments on the 18650 battery to verify the feasibility of the method proposed in the paper. The experimental results show that the parameters required for SOH estimation are significantly reduced, that the time required for battery data measurement is significantly shortened and that the estimation error with the method is less than 4%, indicating that the method can quickly and effectively estimate the SOH of the lithium battery.

2023, 42(1): 159-164. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.20200610
Abstract:
Taking an arc-side negative Poisson's ratio structure as the research object, the static compression was completed, the deformation and load data of the analysis test and simulation were compared. The peak error of the test and simulation bearing capacity was small, the overall deformation form was basically the same, and the model is reliable. Based on this structure, a filling core was established and filled in the front-end structure of a small electric vehicle for frontal collision application research. The difference between the two filling methods of the negative Poisson's ratio structure at the front end and the rear end of the longitudinal beam was analyzed by comparing the parameters of B-pillar acceleration, energy absorption, front-end collapse, and cab intrusion, and the traditional structure in the post-filling mode, the advantages and disadvantages of the impact resistance effect were compared. The results show that the rear filling method of the longitudinal beams has a superior impact resistance application effect than the front filling method. After the rear end of the arc-edge negative Poisson's ratio structure is filled, it can obtain lower acceleration peaks and less room invasion volume than the traditional structure.
