An improved algorithm for detecting point of impact in anisotropic inhomogeneous plates

Conventional triangulation techniques fail to correctly predict the acoustic source location in anisotropic plates due to the direction dependent nature of the elastic wave speeds. To overcome this problem, Kundu et al. [1] proposed an alternative method for acoustic source prediction based on optimizing an objective function. They defined an objective function that uses the time of flight information of the acoustic waves to the passive transducers attached to the plate and the wave propagation direction (θ) from the source point to the receiving sensors. Some weaknesses of the original algorithm proposed in Ref. [1] were later overcome by developing a modified objective function [2]. A new objective function is introduced here to further simplify the optimization procedure and improve the computational efficiency. A new algorithm for source location is also introduced here to increase the source location accuracy. The performance of the objective function and source location algorithm were experimentally verified on a homogeneous anisotropic plate and a non-homogeneous anisotropic plate with a doubler patch. Results from these experiments indicate that the new objective function and source location algorithm have improved performance when compared with those discussed in Refs. [1] and [2].     

The high-resolution infrared spectrum of pyrrole between 900 and 1500 cm revisited

The Fourier transform gas-phase infrared spectrum of pyrrole, C₄H₅N, has been recorded with a resolution of ca. 0.003 cm⁻¹ in the 900-1500 cm⁻¹ spectral region. Four fundamental bands, ν₈(A₁; 1016.9 cm⁻¹), ν₂₃(B₂; 1049.1 cm⁻¹), ν₇(A₁; 1074.6 cm⁻¹), ν₂₀(B₂; 1424.4 cm⁻¹) and the overtone band 2ν₁₆(A₁; 962.7 cm⁻¹) have been analysed using the Watson model. The ν₈ and 2ν₁₆ bands are unperturbed; the ν₇ and ν₂₃ bands are locally perturbed, while the ν₂₀ band is globally perturbed by weak c-Coriolis resonance. Upper state vibrational term values, and rotational and centrifugal distortion constants, have been obtained from fits using S-reduction and I^r-representation as well as A-reduction and III^r-representation. A set of ground state rotational and centrifugal distortion constants using A-reduction was obtained from a simultaneous fit of ground state combination differences from all five bands and previous microwave and millimetre-wave data.     

Roller bearing acoustic signature extraction by wavelet packet transform,applications in fault detection and size estimation

Continuous online monitoring of rotating machines is necessary to assess real-time health conditions so as to enable early detection of operation problems and thus reduce the possibility of downtime. Rolling element bearings are crucial parts of many machines and there has been an increasing demand to find effective and reliable health monitoring technique and advanced signal processing to detect and diagnose the size and location of incipient defects. Condition monitoring of rolling element bearings, comprises four main stages which are, statistical analysis, fault diagnostics, defect size calculation, and prognostics. In this paper the effect of defect size, operating speed, and loading conditions on statistical parameters of acoustic emission (AE) signals, using design of experiment method (DOE), have been investigated to select the most sensitive parameters for diagnosing incipient faults and defect growth on rolling element bearings. A modified and effective signal processing algorithm is designed to diagnose localized defects on rolling element bearings components under different operating speeds, loadings, and defect sizes. The algorithm is based on optimizing the ratio of Kurtosis and Shannon entropy to obtain the optimal band pass filter utilizing wavelet packet transform (WPT) and envelope detection. Results show the superiority of the developed algorithm and its effectiveness in extracting bearing characteristic frequencies from the raw acoustic emission signals masked by background noise under different operating conditions. To experimentally measure the defect size on rolling element bearings using acoustic emission technique, the proposed method along with spectrum of squared Hilbert transform are performed under different rotating speeds, loading conditions, and defect sizes to measure the time difference between the double AE impulses. Measurement results show the power of the proposed method for experimentally measuring size of different fault shapes using acoustic emission signals.

Real-time acoustic classification of sperm whale clicks and shipping impulses from deep-sea observatories

The automated real-time detection and classification of cetacean and anthropogenic sounds from deep-sea observatories can play a key role to study cetaceans in the field, to quantify the impact of anthropogenic sounds or to initiate mitigation measures during potentially harmful human activities. In the area of the NEMO-ONDE deep-sea observatory, sperm whales are often present together with heavy shipping. The spatial coincidence of both sound sources allows for the long term monitoring of their interaction. Some ships produce impulsive sounds and the automated separation of these impulses from sperm whale clicks is not a trivial task. As part of a detection, classification and localisation system for acoustic data from marine observatories, we present four modules performing the automated real-time classification of clicks from sperm whales and impulsive sounds produced by ships. First, two modules detect segments that contain impulsive sounds within a specifiable frequency band and return the impulses’ positions. Then, two modules classify the detected impulses as sperm whale clicks or ship impulses. Finally, at the level of 22 s segments, the classification outputs from individual impulses are combined into a decision on the presence of sperm whale clicks or ship impulses. The modules’ reliability was tested on data from the NEMO-ONDE observatory. Training and testing data were separated by more than 2 months, enabling to assess the consistency of the predictions over the long term. The automated separation between segments of the two classes was high with area under the ROC curve (AUC) values between 0.94 and 0.98.     

Temperature dependence of the absorption spectrum of CH4 by high resolution spectroscopy at 81 K: (I) The region of the 2ν3 band at 1.66 μm

In a recent contribution, (Gao B, Kassi S, Campargue A. Empirical low energy values for methane transitions in the 5852-6181 cm⁻¹ region by absorption spectroscopy at 81 K. J Mol Spectrosc 2009;253:55-63.), the low energy values of methane transitions between 1.71 and 1.62 μm were derived from the variation of the line intensities between 296 and 81 K. The line intensities at 81 K were retrieved from the high resolution absorption spectrum of methane recorded at liquid nitrogen temperature by direct absorption spectroscopy using a cryogenic cell and a series of distributed feed back (DFB) diode lasers. For the line intensities at 296 K, the values provided by the HITRAN database were used. As a consequence of the relatively high intensity cut off (4×10⁻²⁴ cm/molecule) of the HITRAN line list in the considered region, the lower energy values were derived for only 845 of the 2187 transitions measured at 81 K. In the present work, our line list was extended by the retrieval of many weak line intensities leading to a set of 3251 transitions. The minimum value of the measured line intensities (at 81 K) is on the order of 10⁻²⁶ cm/molecule. In relation with the project “Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite” (GOSAT), a much more complete line list for CH₄ at 296 K has become available (intensity cut off of 4×10⁻²⁶ cm/molecule). By applying the two temperature method to our line intensities at 81 K and GOSAT intensities at 296 K, the lower energy values of 2297 transitions could be derived. These transitions represent 99.1% and 90.8% of the total absorbance in the region, at 81 and 296 K respectively. This line list provided as Supplementary Material allows then accounting for the temperature dependence of CH₄ absorption below 300 K. The investigated spectral range is dominated by the 2ν₃ band near 6005 cm⁻¹ which is of particular interest for atmospheric retrievals. The factor 2 narrowing of the Doppler linewidth from room temperature down to 81 K has allowed the resolution of a number of 2ν₃ multiplets and improving the line intensity retrievals. A detailed comparison with GOSAT and HITRAN line lists has revealed a number of possible improvements.     

Analysis of athermalizing performance of thermal infrared optical system with Cassegrain antenna

The thermal infrared imaging system is of greatest importance in modern optics and the image quality closely relies on the accuracy of the optical system. Heat-induced mirror deformation influences the transmission performance of the optical antenna system significantly, which further degrades the accuracy of the whole system. In this work, the simulation on lens deformation circumstances under the thermal environment is carried out using the finite-element analysis software ANSYS. The focus shift property caused by the thermal effect is studied in the cases of reflective and refractive Cassegrain optical antennas, and the athermalizing performance of Cassegrain optical antenna system is also concluded. This work presents a direction to accurate designing of the thermal infrared optical system.
