Optimization of Transducer Location for Novel Non-Intrusive Methodologies of Diagnosis in Diesel Engines

The health monitoring has been studied to ensure integrity of design of engine structure by detection, quantification, and prediction of damages. Early detection of faults may allow the downtime of maintenance to be rescheduled, thus preventing sudden shutdown of machines. In cylinder pressure developed, vibrations and noise emissions data provide a rich source of information about condition of engines. Monitoring of vibrations and noise emissions are novel non-intrusive methodologies for which positioning of various transducers are important issue. The presented work shows applicability of these diagnosis methodologies adopted in case of diesel engines. The effects of changing various fuel injection parameters was analyzed. Scope of using non-intrusive technique has been analyzed by changing locations of microphone. Novelty of this worklies in exploring signal processing methods for various locations around the engine test set up. Various frequency ranges of contributing noise and vibration sources were identified. Time-Frequency analysis showed the onset of various cyclic. Based on the identification of various frequency bands, it is possible to device suitable filters in order to extract more information.

Compactness of Some Operators of Convolution Type in Generalized Morrey Spaces

Sufficient conditions for the compactness in generalized Morrey spaces of the composition of a convolution operator and the operator of multiplication by an essentially bounded function are obtained. Very weak conditions on the function are also obtained under which the commutator of the operator of multiplication by such a function and a convolution operator is compact. The compactness of convolution operators in domains of cone type is investigated.     

Properties of Polyurethanes Prepared by Structuring Oligodienediols at Double Bonds and Hydroxyl Groups

The curing of oligodienediol with a combined system consisting of a polyisocyanate and a (meth)acrylate-containing compound, which allows it to be structured with the polyisocyanate both at the terminal hydroxyl groups and double bonds due to the (meth)acrylate component, has been studied. The effect of the concentration of the (meth)acrylate component and a peroxide initiator to the degree of cross linking and strength properties of elastomers has been revealed. It has been shown that the participation of oligomer double bonds to form a vulcanization structure, creating the effect of “healing” defects from functional heterogeneity, allows one to increase the degree of cross linking and strength properties of polyurethanes.     

Infinitely many reducts of homogeneous structures

It is shown that the countably infinite dimensional pointed vector space (the vector space equipped with a constant) over a finite field has infinitely many first order definable reducts. This implies that the countable homogeneous Boolean-algebra has infinitely many reducts.
