Nonlinearity and resonance frequency shift make it difficult to control the operation of the traveling-wave ultrasonic motors (TWUSMs) in a wide velocity and load range. In this paper, a velocity control scheme based on the stator vibration amplitude and the parallel resonance frequency (VCBVF) of TWUSMs is proposed. Then, the stator vibration amplitude (SVA) and parallel resonance frequency ( f p ) are detected by a transformer ratio-arm bridge. Based on the linear relationship between the velocity and the SVA of TWUSMs, the proposed scheme achieves the control of the mechanical loop and the electrical loop. The linear relationship between the velocity and the SVA makes the mechanical loop achieve the target velocity efficiently, according to the SVA, and the electrical loop could provide the target SVA quickly. Experimental results show that the response time of velocity is 3-4 ms under different load torques and the overshoot is less than 22%. In addition, the proposed scheme improves the efficiency of TWUSMs due to f p tracking. Due to directing the SVA control, the proposed scheme can heighten the velocity response and the load adaptability of TWUSMs, and promote the application of TWUSMs under various conditions.

Turbomachinery engines face significant failure risks due to the combination of thermal loads and high-amplitude vibrations in turbine and compressor blades. Accurate stress distribution measurements are critical for enhancing the performance and safety of these systems. Blade tip timing (BTT) has emerged as an advanced alternative to traditional measurement methods, capturing blade dynamics by detecting deviations in blade tip arrival times through sensors mounted on the stator casing.

Railway traction motor bearings (RTMB) are critical components in high-speed trains (HST) that are particularly susceptible to failure due to the high stress and rotational frequency they experience. To address the challenge of high false-positive rates in existing monitoring systems, this paper introduces a novel sensorless monitoring scheme that leverages stator current to detect fault-related characteristics, eliminating the need for additional sensors. This approach employs a hybrid signal preprocessing algorithm that integrates adaptive notch filtering (ANF) with envelope spectrum analysis (ESA) to effectively sparse the stator current and extract relevant fault features.

Centrifugal pumps are essential in many industrial processes. An accurate operation diagnosis of centrifugal pumps is crucial to ensure their reliable operation and extend their useful life. In real industry applications, many centrifugal pumps lack flowmeters and accurate pressure sensors, and therefore, it is not possible to determine whether the pump is operating near its best efficiency point (BEP).
