Force measurement using strain-gauge balance in shock tunnel based on deep learning

When a force test is conducted in a shock tunnel, vibration of the Force Measurement System (FMS) is excited under the strong flow impact, and it cannot be attenuated rapidly within the extremely short test duration of milliseconds order. The output signal of the force balance is coupled with the aerodynamic force and the inertial vibration. This interference can result in inaccurate force measurements, which can negatively impact the accuracy of the test results. To eliminate inertial vibration interference from the output signal, proposed here is a dynamic calibration modeling method for an FMS based on deep learning. The signal is processed using an intelligent Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) model in the time domain and an intelligent Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model in the frequency domain. Results processed with the intelligent models show that the inertial vibration characteristics of the FMS can be identified efficiently and its main frequency is about 380 Hz. After processed by the intelligent models, the inertial vibration is mostly eliminated from the output signal. Also, the data processing results are subjected to error analysis. The relative error of each component is about 1%, which verifies that the modeling method based on deep learning has considerable engineering application value in data processing for pulse-type strain-gauge balances. Overall, the proposed dynamic calibration modeling method has the potential to improve the accuracy and reliability of force measurements in shock tunnel tests, which could have significant implications for the field of aerospace engineering.

Rotating machinery fault detection and diagnosis based on deep domain adaptation: A survey

In practical mechanical fault detection and diagnosis, it is difficult and expensive to collect enough large-scale supervised data to train deep networks. Transfer learning can reuse the knowledge obtained from the source task to improve the performance of the target task, which performs well on small data and reduces the demand for high computation power. However, the detection performance is significantly reduced by the direct transfer due to the domain difference. Domain adaptation (DA) can transfer the distribution information from the source domain to the target domain and solve a series of problems caused by the distribution difference of data. In this survey, we review various current DA strategies combined with deep learning (DL) and analyze the principles, advantages, and disadvantages of each method. We also summarize the application of DA combined with DL in the field of fault diagnosis. This paper provides a summary of the research results and proposes future work based on analysis of the key technologies.     

An unsupervised classification method of flight states for hypersonic targets based on hyperspectral features

In response to the challenges of aerospace defense caused by the rapid development of hypersonic targets in recent years, the research on the unsupervised classification of flight states for hypersonic targets is carried out in this paper, which is based on the Hyperspectral Features (HFs) of hypersonic targets covered with plasma sheath during high-speed flight. First, a new concept of the super node is defined to improve classification accuracy by alleviating the intraclass variability of HFs. Then, the frequency domain information of the curve of HFs is utilized to reduce the feature redundancy according to the prior theoretical knowledge that the fluctuation characteristics of HFs of the same flight states are similar. Finally, an unsupervised classification method based on the Density Peak Clustering (DPC) for HFs is designed to class flight states after eliminating the impact of intraclass variability and feature dimension redundancy. The proposal is compared with the traditional classification algorithms on simulated hyperspectral data sets of typical flight states of the hypersonic vehicle and an actual-observation hyperspectral data set. The results indicate that the performance of our proposal has competitive advantages in terms of Overall Accuracy (OA), Average Accuracy (AA) and Kappa coefficient.

Supervised learning with probability interpretation in airfoil transition judgment

Transition prediction has always been a frontier issue in the field of aerodynamics. A supervised learning model with probability interpretation for transition judgment based on experimental data was developed in this paper. It solved the shortcomings of the point detection method in the experiment, that which was often only one transition point could be obtained, and comparison of multi-point data was necessary. First, the Variable-Interval Time Average (VITA) method was used to transform the fluctuating pressure signal measured on the airfoil surface into a sequence of states which was described by Markov chain model. Second, a feature vector consisting of one-step transition matrix and its stationary distribution was extracted. Then, the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) was used to pre-classify the feature vectors marked using the traditional Root Mean Square (RMS) criteria. Finally, a classification model with probability interpretation was established, and the cross-validation method was used for model validation. The research results show that the developed model is effective and reliable, and it has strong Reynolds number generalization ability. The developed model was theoretically analyzed in depth, and the effect of parameters on the model was studied in detail. Compared with the traditional RMS criterion, a reasonable transition zone can be obtained using the developed classification model. In addition, the developed model does not require comparison of multi-point data. The developed supervised learning model provides new ideas for the transition detection in flight experiments and other experiments.
