Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to reveal the differential concentration corrosion (DCC) mechanism, which has been ignored by researchers for a long time.

Design/methodology/approach

The ionic conductive layer near the pipe wall was extracted and discretized. In the case of DCC, the equations of corrosion potential after polarization in units are derived according to Kirchhoff’s Law. By solving these equations, the corrosion potential and current on situation of DCC are calculated.

Findings

DCC can change origin distribution of (nature) potential and current greatly; it will cause polarization. The positions with original lower corrosion potential will produce anodic polarization; meanwhile, the speed of corrosion also increases; the position with original higher corrosion potential will produce cathodic polarization, and the corrosion current is also decreased. Generally speaking, the potential will be homogenized by DCC mechanism.

Originality/value

This model makes an in-depth analysis of the traditional FAC theory, greatly supplements it and enriches the theory.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to solve the problem of weld quality inspection, for the aluminum alloy profile welding structure of high-speed train body has complex internal shape and thin plate thickness (2–4 mm), the conventional nondestructive testing method of weld quality is difficult to implement.

Design/methodology/approach

In order to solve this problem, the ultrasonic creeping wave detection technology was proposed. The impact of the profile structure on the creeping wave detection was studied by designing profile structural test blocks and artificial simulation defect test blocks. The detection technology was used to test the actual welded test blocks, and compared with the results of X-ray test and destructive test (tensile test) to verify the accuracy of the ultrasonic creeping wave test results.

Findings

It is indicated that that X-ray has better effect on the inspection of porosities and incomplete penetration defects. However, due to special detection method and protection, the detection speed is slow, which cannot meet the requirements of field inspection of the welding structure of aluminum alloy thin-walled profile for high-speed train body. It can be used as an auxiliary detection method for a small number of sampling inspection. The ultrasonic creeping wave can be used to detect the incomplete penetration welds with the equivalent of 0.25 mm or more, the results of creeping wave detection correspond well with the actual incomplete penetration defects.

Originality/value

The results show that creeping wave detection results correspond well with the actual non-penetration defects and can be used for welding quality inspection of aluminum alloy thin-wall profile composite welding joints. It is recommended to use the echo amplitude of the 10 mm × 0.2 mm × 0.5 mm notch as the criterion for weld qualification.

Abstract

Purpose

Highway traffic systems are complex and variable, and studying the bifurcation characteristics of traffic flow systems and designing control schemes for unstable bifurcation points can alleviate traffic congestion from a new perspective. Bifurcation analysis is used to explain the changes in system stability, identify the unstable bifurcation points of the system, and design feedback controllers to realize the control of the unstable bifurcation points of the traffic system. It helps to control the sudden changes in the stable behavior of the traffic system and helps to alleviate traffic congestion, which is of great practical significance.

Design/methodology/approach

In this paper, we improve the macroscopic traffic flow model by integrating severe weather factors such as rainfall, snowfall, and dust. We use traveling wave transform to convert it into a traffic flow stability model suitable for branching analysis, thus converting the traffic flow problem into a system stability analysis problem. First, this paper derives the existence conditions of the model Hopf bifurcation and saddle-node bifurcation for the improved macroscopic model, and finds the stability mutation point of the system. Secondly, the connection between the stability mutation points and bifurcation points of the traffic system is analyzed. Finally, for the unstable bifurcation point, a nonlinear system feedback controller is designed using Chebyshev polynomial approximation and stochastic feedback control method.

Findings

The Hopf bifurcation is delayed and completely eliminated without changing the equilibrium point of the system, thus controlling the abrupt behavior of the traffic system.

Originality/value

Currently there are fewer studies to explain the changes in the stability of the transportation system through bifurcation analysis, in this paper; we design a feedback controller for the unstable bifurcation point of the system to realize the control of the transportation system. It is a new research method that helps to control the sudden change of the stable behavior of the traffic system and helps to alleviate traffic congestion, which is of great practical significance.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to use a deterministic tourist walk to build a system that can identify wear particles. Wear particles provide detailed information about the wear processes taking place between mechanical components. Identification of the type of wear particles by image processing and pattern recognition is key to effective online monitoring algorithm. There are three kinds of particles that are particularly difficult to distinguish: severe sliding wear particles, fatigue spall particles and laminar particles.

Design/methodology/approach

In this study, an identification method is tested using the deterministic tourist walking (DTW) method. This study examined whether this algorithm can be used in particle identification. If it does, can it outperform the traditional texture analysis methods such as Discrete wavelet transform or co-occurrence matrix. Different parameters such as walk’s memory size, size of image samples, different inputting vectors and different classifiers were compared.

Findings

The DTW algorithm showed promising result compared to traditional texture extraction methods: discrete wavelet transform and co-occurrence matrix. The DTW method offers a higher identification accuracy and a simple feature vector. A conclusion can be drawn that the DTW method is suited for particle identification and can be put into practical use in condition monitoring systems.

Originality/value

This paper combined DTW algorithm with wear particle identification problem.
