Rolling Bearings Fault Diagnosis under Variable Speed Conditions Based on Multitime-Frequency Ridge Extraction by Qing Xiong, Yixuan Li, Xiaoli Qiu, Dong Yu, Weihua Zhang, Qingze Chen

“…A fast path optimization-based multitime-frequency ridge extraction (FPOMRE) method is proposed in this paper to address the problem. First, the time-frequency representation of the fault signal is obtained through the adaptive short-time Fourier transform (STFT), and then the FPOMRE algorithm is used to extract additional ridges below the lowest time-frequency ridge multiple times. …”

Effect of Sodium Aluminate Dosage as a Solid Alkaline Activator on the Properties of Alkali-Activated Slag Paste by Bin Chen, Jun Wang, Jinyou Zhao

“…Alkali-activated slag usually has good mechanical properties, but the too fast setting time restricted its application and promotion. Changing the composition of alkaline activator could optimize setting time, usually making it by adding sodium carbonate or sodium sulfate but this would cause insufficient hydration reaction power and hinder compressive strength growth. …”
