In the magnetic suspension bearing system, the protection bearing, as its key component, plays a role in supporting the safe operation of the drop rotor after the failure of the magnetic suspension bearing, to protect the whole system from damage. Based on a multi-body dynamics simulation, this paper studied the characteristics of the protection bearing, such as the speed fluctuation of the rotor and the bearing inner ring, and the contact force between the rotor and the protection bearing when the 5-DOF rotor fell on the protection bearing. By adjusting the friction coefficient, the initial speed of the rotor, and other parameters, the movement process of the rotor falling in the protection bearing was studied. By comparing the speed fluctuation and contact force of the rotor and the bearing inner race, the influencing factors and rules of the impact of the rotor falling on the protection bearing were analyzed and summarized.

In this study, a hybrid compressive sensing reconstruction algorithm called SAMP-CoSaMP is proposed. The unique combination maintains the speed advantage of CoSaMP and the adaptive sparsity searching ability from the SAMP. Afterwards, an improved beamforming algorithm named SC-DAMAS for sound source localisation is created by integrating our hybrid algorithm with the classic DAMAS. Lastly, the reconstruction accuracy is compared between the SAMP-CoSaMP, SAMP, and CoSaMP algorithms in different signal-to-noise ratio scenarios. The results show that the SAMP-CoSaMP is balanced between running efficiency and reconstruction error. In addition, we perform comparative sound source localisation simulations and experiments by our SC-DAMAS with those of the conventional beamforming method and orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm-based deconvolution approach. SC-DAMAS is superior to the aforementioned counterparts in localisation performance without the need to predetermine the sparsity value. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the process of path planning for mobile robots, situations occur such as local optimal solutions and failure to reach the target point when the traditional Artificial Potential Field (APF) method is used independently for path search; When the traditional Rapidly-exploring Random Tree method (RRT) is used independently for path search, the generated random path tree has multiple branching branches, thereby resulting in high time and distance costs. In response to the above issues, it’s attempted that the two methods were integrated and compensated for each other’s shortcomings. Firstly, the mathematical model of the traditional APF algorithm was improved to solve the problems of unbalanced force and unreachable targets. Secondly, the improved APF was established in the RRT algorithm space by the guide of geometric probability model, and APF contributed to enhancing the target directionality of RRT. Simulation experiments had shown that the fusion algorithm had significant advantages in path length and runtime. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The mechanical noise in the cabin of the ship is so large that the leakage of high-pressure fluid is not easily noticed. In view of this situation, a near-field acoustic holography for high-frequency weak sound source under low signal-to-noise ratio is proposed. The method uses the empirical mode decomposition method to add weights to the time-domain sampling signals of each array element, and then uses the plane equivalent source near-field acoustic holography combined with compressive sensing to find the holographic surface acoustic pressure distribution. The simulation and experiment show that this method has certain feasibility under low signal-to-noise ratio, and the results are better than the method based on Fourier transform and the traditional boundary element method. It is of positive significance to apply it to engineering practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In order to carry out a more in-depth study on the vibration characteristics of the marine power-spilt gear system, a nonlinear dynamic model of a certain type of marine gearbox was established, taking into account factors such as dynamic backlash and time-varying mesh stiffness. The numerical simulation method was used to calculate the variation of the system vibration response with input speed, the torsional stiffness of the linkage shaft and the stiffness of the output shaft under different backlach. The results show that the system will occur resonance as the input speed increases; the torsional stiffness of the linkage axis has an optimal value, so that the vibration response amplitude of the system is the smallest; as the support stiffness of the output shaft increases, the vibration acceleration of the output shaft does not change much, while the vibration displacement is significantly reduced.

Aiming at low efficiency of existing sliding bearing load balance calculation, a new method that based on neural network proportional-integral-derivative (PID) algorithm is proposed for the first time, in which a compound control algorithm combining neural network and PID algorithm is applied. In this new method, the load error is taken as the input of the system, and the eccentricity of the bearing is used as the input of the controller, and the output of the system is the oil film force of the bearing. Comparing with traditional method, calculation results show that: the number of iterations calculated by neural network PID algorithm is less than traditional one and has higher efficiency and stronger adaptability under different loads.

The compressive-equivalent source method near-field acoustic holography (C-ESM) is disturbed by reverberation in the enclosed space such as room and cabin, which leads to large reconstruction error and disturbs the judgment of sound source position. In order to solve this problem, an improved C-ESM algorithm based on room impulse response (RIR) is proposed to filter out reverberation interference in this paper. Different from the original equivalent source method, the improved algorithm constructs the transfer function through the room impulse response to establish the relationship between the equivalent source and the sound pressure on any plane in space, and the sparse signal reconstruction method of the compressive sensing technology is used to obtain the strength of the equivalent source. Then the transfer function to any plane of space is established according to the free field Green's function, to eliminate the interference of reverberation and improve the effect of sound source location. The accuracy and effectiveness of the improved method are verified by preliminary numerical simulation. And the results show that compared with the original algorithm, this method has obvious advantages in sound source localization in a reverberant field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In order to improve the accuracy of the sparse regularization equivalent source acoustic holography algorithm, based on the analysis of the holographic algorithm theory, an optimized array arrangement is proposed. The sensing matrix constructed by the array parameters directly affects the accuracy of the acoustic imaging algorithm. By analyzing the influence of the sensing matrix on the imaging algorithm, the Restricted Isometry Constant (RIC) is chosen to evaluate the sensing matrix. Using genetic algorithm (GA), the RIC is taken as the fitness value, and the optimal pseudo-random array is selected and compared with the conventional array arrangement for acoustic imaging. Experiments show that the optimized pseudo-random array has better imaging effect under the same number of sensor measurements, and provides an optimization method for the design of acoustic array.
