  • Publication number: 20250251308
    Abstract: Provided is a method for predicting vibration response and stiffness degradation of a helical gear. The method includes: establishing a lumped parameter dynamic model of a gear system according to a meshing condition of a pair of gears, considering that the gear system is a multi-degree-of-freedom system under the action of a deterministic force and a random force, establishing a digital twin model of the system at multiple time scales of characteristic time and running time, calculating a translation-vibration coupling control equation, establishing a grey box model by combining unscented Kalman filter with machine learning, performing combined state parameter estimation upon collected data to construct a state prediction framework, and predicting stiffness degradation at a running time scale. Response of a nonlinear multi-degree-of-freedom system can be predicted, and the residual stiffness of the gear is predicted through the collected data.

  • Publication number: 20240035467
    Abstract: A cavitation state identification method driven by vibration data of fluid machinery is disclosed in the present invention, and belongs to the field of big data learning models. According to the present invention, an adaptive neural network is trained by means of a cavitation data set to form a cavitation state identification model, such that vibration signal sequences can be collected online by all vibration sensors arranged at different positions of a target centrifugal pump, the collected vibration signal sequences are input into the cavitation state identification model obtained by training, and a current real-time cavitation intensity of the target centrifugal pump is predicted online. Moreover, the cavitation intensity predicted in the present invention can use a more detailed quantitative label, such that fine-grained prediction about a cavitation development degree is achieved.
