Abstract

In recent years, the variational mode decomposition (VMD) method has been introduced for rotating machinery fault diagnosis. However, the results largely depend on its parameters. When an optimization algorithm is employed to optimize these parameters, the fitness function is critical. In this paper, a new fitness function, envelope sample entropy, is constructed. Based on this, a whale optimized VMD method is proposed for rotating machinery fault diagnosis. First, the vibration signals were decomposed by the optimized VMD method to obtain a series of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), from which the IMFs containing the main information were selected. Then, features were extracted from the selected IMFs and their dimensions were reduced using the local tangent space alignment method. Finally, support vector machine was adopted for fault identification. Compared with related methods, the experiment results show that the proposed method obtains a higher fault recognition accuracy.

Abstract

Cu-based composites are widely used in mechanical, electrical, communication, transportation and microelectronics industries due to their excellent properties. However, the difficult match between strength and conductivity is the main problem for Cu-based composites. And thermal-mechanical treatment technologies reached the limit to improve and control their comprehensive performance. Graphene is a two-dimensional layered material with carbon atoms hybridized by SP2 orbital, and has high strength, good electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. It is expected to solve the contradiction between the strength and conductivity of the composites by introducing graphene into Cu-based composites. In this paper, the commonly used methods for effective dispersion of graphene and interface bonding were introduced, the researches on the strength, toughness, electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity were outlined, lastly the future development of graphene Cu-based composites was prospected.

Abstract

This paper addresses, for the first time, a key aspect of the phenomenology of compact symmetric objects (CSOs): the characteristics of their radio spectra. We present a radio-spectrum description of a complete sample of high-luminosity CSOs (CSO-2s), which shows that they exhibit the complete range of spectral types, including flat-spectrum sources ( α ≥ −0.5), steep-spectrum sources ( α < −0.5), and peaked-spectrum sources. We show that there is no clear correlation between spectral type and size, but there is a correlation between the high-frequency spectral index and both object type and size. We also show that, to avoid biasing the data and to understand the various classes of active galactic nuclei (AGN) involved, the complete range of spectral types should be included in studying the general phenomenology of compact jetted AGN, and that complete samples must be used, selected over a wide range of frequencies. We discuss examples that demonstrate these points. We find that the high-frequency spectral indices of CSO-2s span −1.3 < α _hi < −0.3 and hence that radio spectral signatures cannot be used to discriminate definitively between CSO-2s, binary galactic nuclei, and millilensed objects, unless they have α _hi > −0.3.

Abstract

We use a sample of 54 compact symmetric objects (CSOs) to confirm that there are two unrelated CSO classes: an edge-dimmed, low-luminosity class (CSO 1), and an edge-brightened, high-luminosity class (CSO 2). Using blind tests, we show that CSO 2s consist of three subclasses: CSO 2.0, having prominent hot spots at the leading edges of narrow jets and/or narrow lobes; CSO 2.2, without prominent hot spots and with broad jets and/or lobes; and CSO 2.1, which exhibit mixed properties. Most CSO 2s do not evolve into larger jetted active galactic nuclei (AGN), but spend their whole life cycle as CSOs of size ≲500 pc and age ≲5000 yr. The minimum energies needed to produce the radio luminosity and structure in CSO 2s range from ∼10 ^−4 M _⊙ c ^2 to ∼7 M _⊙ c ^2 . We show that the transient nature of most CSO 2s, and their birth rate, can be explained through ignition in the tidal disruption events of stars. We also consider possibilities of tapping the spin energy of the supermassive black hole, and tapping the energy of the accretion disk. Our results demonstrate that CSOs constitute a large family of AGN in which we have thus far studied only the brightest. More comprehensive CSO studies, with higher sensitivity, resolution, and dynamic range, will revolutionize our understanding of AGN and the central engines that power them.

6. Compact Symmetric Objects. II. Confirmation of a Distinct Population of High-luminosity Jetted Active Galaxies

Abstract

Compact symmetric objects (CSOs) are compact (99%) of CSO 2s do not evolve into larger-scale radio sources. These CSO 2s belong to a distinct population of jetted AGN, which should be characterized as “short-lived,” as opposed to “young,” compared to the classes of larger jetted AGN. We show that there is a sharp upper cutoff in the CSO 2 size distribution at ≈500 pc. The distinct differences between most CSO 2s and other jetted AGN provides a crucial new time domain window on the formation and evolution of relativistic jets in AGN and the supermassive black holes that drive them.

Abstract

We present the results of targeted searches for gravitational-wave transients associated with gamma-ray bursts during the second observing run of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo, which took place from 2016 November to 2017 August. We have analyzed 98 gamma-ray bursts using an unmodeled search method that searches for generic transient gravitational waves and 42 with a modeled search method that targets compact-binary mergers as progenitors of short gamma-ray bursts. Both methods clearly detect the previously reported binary merger signal GW170817, with p -values of

Abstract

We present the results of the search for gravitational waves (GWs) associated with γ -ray bursts detected during the first observing run of the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO). We find no evidence of a GW signal for any of the 41 γ -ray bursts for which LIGO data are available with sufficient duration. For all γ -ray bursts, we place lower bounds on the distance to the source using the optimistic assumption that GWs with an energy of ${10}^{-2}{M}_{\odot }{c}^{2}$ were emitted within the $16$ – $500$ Hz band, and we find a median 90% confidence limit of 71 Mpc at 150 Hz. For the subset of 19 short/hard γ -ray bursts, we place lower bounds on distance with a median 90% confidence limit of 90 Mpc for binary neutron star (BNS) coalescences, and 150 and 139 Mpc for neutron star–black hole coalescences with spins aligned to the orbital angular momentum and in a generic configuration, respectively. These are the highest distance limits ever achieved by GW searches. We also discuss in detail the results of the search for GWs associated with GRB 150906B, an event that was localized by the InterPlanetary Network near the local galaxy NGC 3313, which is at a luminosity distance of $54$ Mpc ( z = 0.0124). Assuming the γ -ray emission is beamed with a jet half-opening angle $\leqslant 30^\circ $ , we exclude a BNS and a neutron star–black hole in NGC 3313 as the progenitor of this event with confidence >99%. Further, we exclude such progenitors up to a distance of 102 Mpc and 170 Mpc, respectively.

Abstract

We propose and study a kind of bilayered chiral metasurface (BCM) composed of complementary L-shaped resonators with a lossless dielectric spacer that can realize linear polarization rotation with ultrahigh conversion efficiency. We present a theoretical analysis of the BCM with specific chiral geometry that enables asymmetric transmission for linear polarization only. Numerical results show that the proposed metasurface has dual-band asymmetric transmission with nearly 100% cross-polarization conversion efficiency when the loss is ignored. More importantly, depending on the incident direction, only one of the cross-polarization transmissions can approach unity while all the remaining transmissions are close to zero. As a result, nearly perfect linear polarization rotation is achieved for a particular polarization direction. We further show that the working frequency and the bandwidth of the proposed BCM can be tuned by adjusting the geometric size and spatial arrangement of the unit cell. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
