This paper deals with the problem of robust fault detection (FD) for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flight control system (FCS). A nonlinear model to describe the UAV longitudinal motions is introduced, in which multiple sources of disturbances include wind effects, modeling errors and sensor noises are classified into groups. Then the FD problem is formulated as fault detection filter (FDF) design for a kind of nonlinear discrete time varying systems subject to multiple disturbances. In order to achieve robust FD performance against multiple disturbances, simultaneous disturbance compensation and Hi/H∞ optimization are carried out in designing the FDF. The optimality of the proposed FDF is shown in detail. Finally, both simulations and real flight data are applied to validate the proposed method. An improvement of FD performance is achieved compared with the conventional Hi/H∞-FDF.

In recent years, moving cast shadow detection has become a critical challenge in improving the accuracy of moving object detection in video surveillance. In this paper, we propose two novel moving cast shadow detection methods based on nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) and block nonnegative matrix factorization (BNMF). First, the algorithm of moving cast shadow detection using NMF is given and the key points such as the determination of moving shadow areas and the choice of discriminant function are specified. Then BNMF are introduced so that the new training samples and new classes can be added constantly with lower computational complexity. Finally, the improved shadow detection method is detailed described according to BNMF. The effectiveness of proposed methods is evaluated in various scenes. Experimental results demonstrate that the method achieves high detection rate and outperforms several state-of-the-art methods.

The thermal aging of hydrogenated nitrile rubber (HNBR) at elevated temperatures 125 and 150 °C was investigated. The changes of chemical structures, including functional groups and crosslinking density, and the changes of mechanical properties, including recovery from bending (RFB), tensile strength, elongation at break and Young's modulus, were determined. In addition, the loss of additives was analyzed by pyrolysis gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS). The aging procedure of HNBR exhibited two stages: loss of additives along with the deterioration of elasticity; obvious oxidation and extra crosslinking with further hardening and embrittlement. The relationship between the deterioration of elasticity and the loss of plasticizers was established. It was demonstrated that the failure of HNBR happened long before obvious oxidation and crosslinking of the rubber chains, and the loss of additives, especially the loss of plasticizers, was the main reason for the failure. Therefore, the elasticity recovery of aged HNBR immersed in the plasticizer (n-propyl palmitate as a model) was carried out. This treatment was demonstrated to be effective before obvious oxidation and crosslinking of HNBR occurred during the thermal aging.

Badano starzenie termiczne uwodornionego kauczuku nitrylowego (HNBR) w temperaturze 125 i 150 °C. Określono zmiany struktur chemicznych, w tym grup funkcyjnych i gęstości usieciowania oraz zmiany właściwości mechanicznych, w tym powrotu poodkształceniowego po zginaniu (RFB), wytrzymałości na rozciąganie, wydłużenia przy zerwaniu i modułu Younga. Ponadto metodą pirolitycznej chromatografii gazowej z detekcją mas (Py-GC/MS) analizowano straty dodatków obecnych w kauczuku. Procedura starzenia się HNBR wykazywała dwa etapy: ubytek dodatków wraz z pogorszeniem elastyczności; wyraźne utlenianie i dodatkowe sieciowanie związane z dalszym utwardzaniem i zwiększaniem kruchości. Określono zależność pomiędzy zmniejszaniem się elastyczności a ubytkiem dodatków zmiękczających. Wykazano, że pogorszenie właściwości HNBR następowało znacznie wcześniej niż utlenianie i sieciowanie oraz było spowodowane utratą dodatków, a zwłaszcza plastyfikatorów. W związku z tym przeprowadzono próbę odtworzenia elastyczności starzonych próbek HNBR przez zanurzenie w plastyfikatorze (palmitynian n-propylu jako model). Obróbka ta okazała się skuteczna, pod warunkiem przeprowadzenia jej zanim podczas starzenia termicznego nastąpiło utlenianie i sieciowanie HNBR.

In this paper the possibility of using the pyrolysis oil derived from waste tyres as a collector in flotation of coal was evaluated. The pyrolysis oil was obtained at the initial and final pyrolysis temperatures of 400 and 700 oC, respectively, and the heat holding time of 30 min. Flotation results indicated that the pyrolysis oil emulsion showed stronger collecting ability than diesel and the concentrate ash content just slightly increased in comparison to flotation in the presence of diesel. The contact angle measurement and immersion microcalorimetry test correlated well with the flotation data. The Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy results demonstrated that diesel and pyrolysis oil emulsion is physically adsorbed on the coal surface.

Rotor spun composite yarn shows compound performances when combined with staple fibres and filaments, such as excellent hand feeling as well as extreme elasticity and strength. Air characteristics including pressure and speed are critical factors of the rotor spun composite yarn spinning process. In this paper, air flow characteristics in a rotor composite yarn spinning unit are simulated and analysed by Ansys, and then verified by experiments. The results show that with the same spinning conditions, static pressure within the filament guide tube is lowest: -9 kPa and in rotor around -5 kPa. The speed of the airstream accelerates from the transfer channel inlet to the outlet, and reaches the largest value of 386 m/s at the outlet. As the rotor speed increases, the airflow velocity increases; the static pressure decreases; the breaking strength and CV of the composite yarn increase, and the breaking elongation and hairiness decrease according to the experiment results.

Przędza kompozytowa charakteryzuje się doskonałym chwytem, a także wyjątkową elastycznością i wytrzymałością. Charakterystyka przepływu powietrza, w tym ciśnienie i prędkość, są czynnikami decydującymi o przędzeniu przędzy kompozytowej na przędzarce rotorowej. W artykule przeprowadzono stymulację i analizę charakterystyk przepływu powietrza, a następnie wyniki zweryfikowano eksperymentalnie. Prędkość strumienia powietrza przyspiesza od wlotu kanału przenoszenia do wylotu i osiąga największą wartość 386 m/s na wylocie. Gdy prędkość wirnika wzrasta, prędkość przepływu powietrza również wzrasta, a ciśnienie statyczne maleje, natomiast wytrzymałość na zerwanie przędzy kompozytowej wzrasta.

The fine-grained autochthonous sedimentation in the deep part of a Late Triassic lake was frequently interrupted by gravity-induced mass flows. Some of these mass flows were so rich in water that they must have represented slurries. This can be deduced from the soft-sediment deformation structures that abound in cores from these lacustrine deposits which constitute the Yanchang Fm., which is present in the Ordos Basin (central China). The flows and the resulting SSDS were probably triggered by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, shear stress of gravity flows, and/or the sudden release of overburden-induced excess pore-fluid pressure. The tectonically active setting, the depositional slope and the high sedimentation rate facilitated the development of soft-sediment deformations, which consist mainly of load casts and associated structures such as pseudonodules and flame structures. Sediments with such deformations were occasionally eroded by slurries and became embedded in their deposits.

This paper proposed an image feature extraction method for laser welding molten pool inspection based on cellular neural network. TC4 titanium alloy thin plates were welded by Nd:YAG pulsed laser. A coaxial machine vision system was designed to acquire molten pool images. An auxiliary lighting source was employed to improve the molten pool image quality. By analyzing molten pool images, the welding defects such as fenestration or insufficient depth were identified. These results can be used as a feedback signal for laser power control. Experimental results showed that the proposed method can be used to improve laser welding quality.

Rolling element bearings are one of the most widely used and vulnerable components in complex systems. The condition monitoring work is very critical for sustaining the system’s availability and reducing the maintenance cost. Shock pulse method (SPM) is a common technique to measure the operating condition of rolling bearings as a three color scheme, e.g., green, yellow and red. This paper proposes an inspection model based on a three-stage failure process which aims to optimize the inspection interval of bearings by minimizing the expected cost per unit time. The three-stage failure process divides the bearings life into three stages before failure: good, minor defective and severe defective stages, corresponding to the three color scheme of SPM. Considering the need to lubricate bearings when the minor defective stage is identified by inspection in industrial applications, we assume that maintenance at the time of inspection identifying the minor defective stage is imperfect. The concept of proportional age reduction is used to model the effect of imperfect maintenance on the instantaneous rates of the minor defective stage, the severe defective stage and failure. Perfect maintenance however is carried out if inspection detects bearings being in the severe defective stage. Failure can be found once it occurs and replacement has to be implemented immediately. Finally, a numerical example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed model.

Łożyska toczne są jednymi z najczęściej stosowanych i jednocześnie najbardziej narażonych na uszkodzenia części składowych układów złożonych. Monitorowanie stanu odgrywa bardzo istotną rolę w utrzymaniu dostępności układów i zmniejszeniu kosztów ich obsługi. Metoda impulsów uderzeniowych (SPM) jest powszechnie stosowaną techniką służącą do pomiaru stanu pracy łożysk tocznych, który reprezentowany jest za pomocą kodu trzech kolorów, na przykład, zielonego, żółtego i czerwonego. W artykule zaproponowano model przeglądów oparty na trójfazowym procesie uszkodzenia, który ma na celu optymalizację częstotliwości przeglądów łożysk poprzez minimalizację oczekiwanych kosztów przypadających na jednostkę czasu. Pojęcie trójfazowego procesu uszkodzenia pozwala podzielić żywotność łożyska na trzy fazy przed wystąpieniem uszkodzenia: fazę dobrego stanu, fazę drobnych defektów i fazę poważnych defektów. Podział ten odpowiada kodowi trzech kolorów SPM. Biorąc pod uwagę konieczność smarowania łożysk po zdiagnozowaniu, podczas przeglądu w warunkach przemysłowych, wystąpienia fazy drobnych defektów, zakładamy, że konserwacja w czasie takiego przeglądu jest konserwacją niepełną. Koncepcja proporcjonalnego obniżenia wieku służy do modelowania wpływu niepełnej konserwacji na chwilowe wartości intensywności fazy drobnych defektów, fazy poważnych defektów oraz uszkodzeń. Gdy podczas przeglądu stwierdzi się, że łożysko jest w fazie poważnych defektów, przeprowadza się pełną konserwację. Uszkodzenie zostaje wykryte zaraz po jego wystąpieniu, i wtedy należy dokonać natychmiastowej wymiany łożyska. Pod koniec artykułu, przedstawiono przykład numeryczny, który ilustruje wydajność proponowanego modelu.

Amplitude versus offset (AVO) analysis is a conventional seismic exploration technique in geophysical and lithological interpretation and has been widely used in onshore and offshore exploration. Its use in marine gas hydrate research, however, is still in initial stages. In this study, AVO analysis is applied to seismic profiles at drilling sites where hydrate samples have been recovered. The AVO responses of free gas, bottom simulating reflector (BSRs), and gas hydrates are discussed, and the AVO attributes in relation to gas hydrates are summarized. The results show that changes in intercept, gradient, fluid factor and Poisson’s ratio clearly reflect: (i) location of free gas and the BSR, and (ii) spatial relations between blank zone, BSR, gas hydrate, and free gas.

This paper is devoted to studying the globally exponential stability of impulsive high-order Hopfield-type neural networks with time-varying delays. In the process of impulsive effect, nonlinear and delayed factors are simultaneously considered. A new impulsive differential inequality is derived based on the Lyapunov–Razumikhin method and some novel stability criteria are then given. These conditions, ensuring the global exponential stability, are simpler and less conservative than some of the previous results. Finally, two numerical examples are given to illustrate the advantages of the obtained results.

We measured the absorption coefficient and the reduced scattering coefficient of Intralipid solution and human forearm tissues in vivo by measuring diffuse reflectance with a charge-coupled device, examining the techniques involved. The experimental results indicate that the error is less than or equal to 8% using the diffusion theory, under the condition that the reduced scattering coefficient is one order of magnitude greater than the absorption coefficient. The stability and precision of optical property measurements are significantly improved by using the multistep iterative fitting method and using the ring-zone-constraint method to determine the diffuse reflectance center. The efficiency of reverse algorithm is greatly enhanced by selecting a one-dimensional array on the straight line crossing both the entry point and the diffusion center for fitting.
