Transferable microfiber laser arrays for high-sensitivity thermal sensing.

Functional microfibers have attracted extensive attention due to their potential in health monitoring, radiation cooling, power management and luminescence. Among these, polymer fiber-based microlasers have plentiful applications due to their merits of full color, high quality factor and simple fabrication. However, developing a facile approach to fabricate stable microfiber lasing devices for high-sensitivity thermal sensing is still challenging.

Fault Diagnosis for Abnormal Wear of Rolling Element Bearing Fusing Oil Debris Monitoring.

The abnormal wear of a rolling element bearing caused by early failures, such as pitting and spalling, will deteriorate the running state and reduce the life. This paper demonstrates the importance of oil debris monitoring and its effective feature extraction for bearing health assessment. In this paper, a rolling bearing-rotor test rig with forced lubrication is set up and the nonferrous contaminants with higher hardness were introduced artificially to accelerate the occurrence of pitting and spalling.

Parameter Sensitivity Analysis of Mounting Pedestals and Multi-Objective Optimization for a Multi-Support Rigid Body System.

In this paper, a parameter sensitivity analysis of mounting pedestals and a multi-objective optimization design for vibration reduction in a multi-support rigid body system, taking an aeroengine-lubricating oil tank supported by multiple mounting pedestals as an example, are conducted based on the third version of non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-Ⅲ) combined with Sobol's sensitivity analysis method (SSAM). An aeroengine-lubricating oil tank with three mounting pedestals is simplified as a three-support dynamic system, and its dynamics model is established. Several structural parameters of mounting pedestals are taken as the design variables, and the system vibration response and the reaction force of the front and rear mounting pedestals are considered as the objective functions.
