Convolutional Neural Network Based Fault Detection for Rotating Machinery

This review covers advances in electrochemical and biochemical sensor development and usage during 2010 and 2011 In choosing scholarly articles to contribute to this review, special emphasis was placed on work published in the areas of reference electrodes, potentiometric sensors, voltammetric sensors, amperometric sensors, biosensors, immunosensors, and mass sensors In the past two years there have been a number of important papers, that do not fall into the general subsections contained within the larger sections Such novel advances are very important for the field of electrochemical sensors as they open up new avenues and methods for future research Each section above contains a subsection titled “Other Papers of Interest” that includes such articles and describes their importance to the field in general For example, while most electrochemical techniques for sensing analytes of interest are based on the changes in potential or current, Shan et al1 have developed a completely novel method for performing electrochemical measurements In their work, they report a method for imaging local electrochemical current using the optical signal of the electrode surface generated from a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) The electrochemical current image is based on the fact that the current density can be easily calculated from the local SPR signal The authors demonstrated this concept by imaging traces of TNT on a fingerprint on a gold substrate

Full articles and reviews were primarily amassed by searching the SciFinder Scholar and ISI Web of Knowledge Additional articles were found through alternate databases or by perusing analytical journals for pertinent publications Due to the reference limitation, only publications written in English were considered for inclusion Obviously, there have been more published accounts of groundbreaking work with electrochemical and biochemical sensors than those covered here This review is a small sampling of the available literature and not intended to cover every advance of the past two years The literature chosen focuses on new trends in materials, techniques, and clinically relevant applications of novel sensors To ensure proper coverage of these trends, theoretical publications and applications of previously reported sensor development were excluded

We want to remind our readers that this review is not intended to provide comprehensive coverage of electrochemical sensor development, but rather to provide a glimpse of the available depth of knowledge published in the past two years This review is meant to focus on novel methods and materials, with a particular focus on the increasing use of graphene sheets for sensor material development For readers seeking more information on the general principles behind electrochemical sensors and electrochemical methods, we recommend other sources with a broader scope2, 3 Electrochemical sensor research is continually providing new insights into a variety of fields and providing a breadth of relevant literature that is worthy of inclusion in this review Unfortunately, it is impossible to cover each publication and unintentional oversights are inevitable We sincerely apologize to the authors of electrochemical and biochemical sensor publications that were inadvertently overlooked

Electrochemical Sensors and Biosensors

An investigation is made of the dependence of Hall coefficient, Hall mobility, and coefficient of magnetoresistance in CdS on electric field, magnetic field, and scattering mechanisms. The scattering of carriers by acoustic mode of lattice scattering as well as piezoelectric potential is considered.

Some Transport Coefficients in Cadmium Sulphide

The present work investigates the effect of a crack on the modal frequency of a draft pad. Initially, the first five mode shapes of a healthy draft pad and the first seven mode shapes of healthy draft gear considering compressed draft pads are determined using the finite element approach. A mathematical model of the draft pad is formulated to predict the effect of the crack on its modal frequency. A semi-elliptical shaped crack is modelled in the lateral and longitudinal direction of the draft pad. It is observed that if the crack lies in the zone of minimum modal displacement, then the frequency drop is minimal, and if the crack lies in the zone of maximum modal displacement, then the frequency drop is significant. Various damage scenarios are simulated by varying the width and aspect ratio of the crack in order to identify its effect on the modal frequency. It is seen that if the aspect ratio is varied while the crack’s width is maintained constant, then the frequency drop is linear, whereas if the crack’s width is varied while the aspect ratio is maintained constant, then the frequency drop is parabolic. This study provides a tool for monitoring exciting frequencies of draft gear and shows how each modal frequency is affected by the crack due to parameters like aspect ratio, crack width, and crack location/orientation.

 In the present study, the dynamic behavior of the last stage low-pressure steam turbine blade with fir-tree root at different conditions of blade root flank faces and their interfaces with rotor groove have been analyzed. Modal analysis has been done using a finite element approach to evaluate natural frequencies and evaluation of Campbell diagram generated under these conditions. For this, both healthy and defective blade have been taken. Since the variable crack size of fir-tree root flank has been taken, the excitation pattern has been evaluated due to stiffness variation of the cracked blade. This analysis provides the basis of excitation pattern of cracked blades due to inherent character and critical stressed zone. The outcome of this study forms the guidelines and checks during the fitting of blades in rotor assembly and its checks during health audit, overhaul, overspeed balancing test, and frequency turning.
