Atomic Norm Soft Thresholding for Sparse Time-frequency Representation

Time-frequency (TF) representation of non-stationary signals typically requires the effective concentration of energy distribution along the instantaneous frequency (IF) ridge, which exhibits intrinsic sparsity. Inspired by the sparse optimization over continuum via atomic norm, a novel atomic norm soft thresholding for sparse TF representation (AST-STF) method is proposed, which ensures accurate TF localization under the strong duality. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the performance of the proposed method surpasses that of conventional methods.

Localised bulging of an inflated rubber tube with fixed ends

When a rubber tube with free ends is inflated under volume control, the pressure will first reach a maximum and then decrease monotonically to approach a constant asymptote. The pressure maximum corresponds to the initiation of a localised bulge and is predicted by a bifurcation condition, whereas the asymptote is the Maxwell pressure corresponding to a "two-phase" propagation state. In contrast, when the tube is first pre-stretched and then has its ends fixed during subsequent inflation, the pressure versus bulge amplitude has both a maximum and a minimum, and the behaviour on the right ascending branch has previously not been fully understood. We show that for all values of pre-stretch and tube length, the ascending branches all converge to a single curve that is only dependent on the ratio of tube thickness to the outer radius. This curve represents the Maxwell state to be approached in each case (if Euler buckling or axisymmetric wrinkling does not occur first), but this state is pressure-dependent in contrast with the free-ends case. We also demonstrate experimentally that localized bulging cannot occur when the pre-stretch is sufficiently large and investigate what strain-energy functions can predict this observed phenomenon.

Applications of Unsupervised Deep Transfer Learning to Intelligent Fault Diagnosis: A Survey and Comparative Study

Recent progress on intelligent fault diagnosis (IFD) has greatly depended on deep representation learning and plenty of labeled data. However, machines often operate with various working conditions or the target task has different distributions with the collected data used for training (the domain shift problem). Besides, the newly collected test data in the target domain are usually unlabeled, leading to unsupervised deep transfer learning based (UDTL-based) IFD problem. Although it has achieved huge development, a standard and open source code framework as well as a comparative study for UDTL-based IFD are not yet established. In this paper, we construct a new taxonomy and perform a comprehensive review of UDTL-based IFD according to different tasks. Comparative analysis of some typical methods and datasets reveals some open and essential issues in UDTL-based IFD which are rarely studied, including transferability of features, influence of backbones, negative transfer, physical priors, etc. To emphasize the importance and reproducibility of UDTL-based IFD, the whole test framework will be released to the research community to facilitate future research. In summary, the released framework and comparative study can serve as an extended interface and basic results to carry out new studies on UDTL-based IFD. The code framework is available at \url{https://github.com/ZhaoZhibin/UDTL}.

Deep Learning Algorithms for Rotating Machinery Intelligent Diagnosis: An Open Source Benchmark Study

With the development of deep learning (DL) techniques, rotating machinery intelligent diagnosis has gone through tremendous progress with verified success and the classification accuracies of many DL-based intelligent diagnosis algorithms are tending to 100\%. However, different datasets, configurations, and hyper-parameters are often recommended to be used in performance verification for different types of models, and few open source codes are made public for evaluation and comparisons. Therefore, unfair comparisons and ineffective improvement may exist in rotating machinery intelligent diagnosis, which limits the advancement of this field. To address these issues, we perform an extensive evaluation of four kinds of models, including multi-layer perception (MLP), auto-encoder (AE), convolutional neural network (CNN), and recurrent neural network (RNN), with various datasets to provide a benchmark study within the same framework. We first gather most of the publicly available datasets and give the complete benchmark study of DL-based intelligent algorithms under two data split strategies, five input formats, three normalization methods, and four augmentation methods. Second, we integrate the whole evaluation codes into a code library and release this code library to the public for better development of this field. Third, we use specific-designed cases to point out the existing issues, including class imbalance, generalization ability, interpretability, few-shot learning, and model selection. By these works, we release a unified code framework for comparing and testing models fairly and quickly, emphasize the importance of open source codes, provide the baseline accuracy (a lower bound) to avoid useless improvement, and discuss potential future directions in this field. The code library is available at https://github.com/ZhaoZhibin/DL-based-Intelligent-Diagnosis-Benchmark.
