Seismic base isolation by nonlinear mode localization

Summary In this paper, the performance of a nonlinear base-isolation system, comprised of a nonlinearly sprung subfoundation tuned in a 1∶1 internal resonance to a flexible mode of the linear primary structure to be isolated, is examined. The application of nonlinear localization to seismic isolation distinguishes this study from other base-isolation studies in the literature. Under the condition of third-order smooth stiffness nonlinearity, it is shown that a localized nonlinear normal mode (NNM) is induced in the system, which confines energy to the subfoundation and away from the primary or main structure. This is followed by a numerical analysis wherein the smooth nonlinearity is replaced by clearance nonlinearity, and the system is excited by ground motions representing near-field seismic events. The performance of the nonlinear system is compared with that of the corresponding linear system through simulation, and the sensitivity of the isolation system to several design parameters is analyzed. These simulations confirm the existence of the localized NNM, and show that the introduction of simple clearance nonlinearity significantly reduces the seismic energy transmitted to the main structure, resulting in significant attenuation in the response.

Extension of the bond graph causality inversion method for fault detection and isolation

Controlled systems can be subjected to faults that may affect the performance of the system, and unable its objectives to be achieved. Fault detection and isolation algorithms are then used to study these faults. The bond graph tool can be used for modeling purposes and then its structural, and causal properties can be exploited for automatic generation of analytical redundancy relations (ARRs) through a procedure named causality inversion method, which are used for diagnosis applications. These ARRs are mathematical constraints that are used to verify the coherence between the process measurements and the system model. This paper proposes an extension of the causality inversion method by different versions of the same ARR. The goal is to increase the number of isolable faults. Moreover, structural conditions are given in order to avoid the generation of redundant ARRs. To validate the obtained structural procedure, a fault is imposed in a traction of an omnidirectional mobile robot.     

A data-driven approach to diagnostics of repetitive processes in the distribution domain – Applications to gearbox diagnostics in industrial robots and rotating machines

This paper presents a data-driven approach to diagnostics of systems that operate in a repetitive manner. Considering that data batches collected from a repetitive operation will be similar unless in the presence of an abnormality, a condition change is inferred by comparing the monitored data against an available nominal batch. The method proposed considers the comparison of data in the distribution domain, which reveals information of the data amplitude. This is achieved with the use of kernel density estimates and the Kullback–Leibler distance. To decrease sensitivity to disturbances while increasing sensitivity to faults, the use of a weighting vector is suggested which is chosen based on a labeled dataset. The framework is simple to implement and can be used without process interruption, in a batch manner. The approach is demonstrated with successful experimental and simulation applications to wear diagnostics in an industrial robot gearbox and for diagnostics of gear faults in a rotating machine.
