Because of the influence of harsh and variable working environments, the vibration signals of rolling bearings for combine harvesters usually show obvious characteristics of strong non-stationarity and nonlinearity. Accomplishing accurate fault diagnosis using these signals for rolling bearings is a challenging subject. In this paper, a novel fault diagnosis method based on composite-scale-variable dispersion entropy (CSvDE) and self-optimization variational mode decomposition (SoVMD) is proposed, systematically combining the nonstationary signal analysis approach and machine learning technology.

Herein, inspired by the recent experimental synthesis of penta-NiN (, 2021, 15, 13539-13546), we propose for the first time a novel ternary penta-NiPN monolayer with high stability by partial element substitution. Our predicted penta-NiPN monolayer is a quasi-direct bandgap (1.

However, the existing techniques and methodologies for DTP still face challenges, such as a lack of appropriate degradation indicators, insufficient accuracy, and poor capability to track the data fluctuation. In this paper, a hybrid model is proposed for the degradation tendency prediction of a PSU, which combines the integrated degradation index (IDI) construction and convolutional neural network-long short-term memory (CNN-LSTM).

Its vibration signal contains a wealth of information and status characteristics. Therefore, it is important to predict the vibration tendency of HGUs using collected real-time data, and achieve predictive maintenance as well.

In this paper, a multi-step progressive method based on energy entropy (EE) theory and hybrid ensemble auto-encoder (HEAE), systematically blending the statistical analysis approach with the deep learning technology, is proposed for rolling element bearing (REB) fault diagnosis. Firstly, a preliminary detection about the REB health status is performed by the statistical analysis technique integrated with the EE theory.
