Composite fault feature extraction for gears based on MCKD-EWT adaptive wavelet threshold noise reduction by Yanchang LV, Jingyue Wang, Chengqiang Zhang, Jianming Ding

“…The results of experimental data analysis show that compared with the feature extraction methods such as spatial scale threshold EWT-MCKD and Complete Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (CEEMDAN)-MCKD, the proposed method is more suitable for the diagnosis of gear composite faults in a strong background noise environment, the noise interference is effectively suppressed, and the extraction effect of gear composite fault features is more obvious.…”

Laboratory Study on a New Composite Plugging Material with High Bearing Strength and High-Temperature Resistance by Xiaoming Su, Zhanghua Lian, Hanqiao Xiong, Yuan Yuan, Junwei Fang

“…The results show that compared with the conventional rigid lost material, the value of high-temperature resistance is more and acid solubility is over 98%. Also, it can work well with other fiber materials (E), variable filling particles (F and G), and superfine filling particles (H) and form a novel plugging material, named MGY-I, whose temperature resistance value is more than 473.15 K, the bearing strength is over than 9 MPa, the mud filtrate invasion depth of sand bed made from coarse particles (10∼20 mesh) is only 3.0 cm within 30 minutes, and the invasion depth is less than 1 cm within 30 minutes when the sand bed is made from 80∼100 mesh. …”

Shear Behavior of High-Strength and Lightweight Cementitious Composites Containing Hollow Glass Microspheres and Carbon Nanotubes by Dongmin Lee, Seong-Cheol Lee, Oh-Sung Kwon, Sung-Won Yoo

“…The diagonal compression strut angle and diagonal crack angle of the HS-LWCC beams with shear reinforcement were more inclined than those of the HSC beams. This indicated that the lower shear resistance of the HS-LWCCs could be more effectively compensated for when shear reinforcement is provided and the diagonal crack angle is more inclined. …”
