A posteriori Variational Multiscale Methods for the 1D convection-diffusion equations by Chacón Rebollo, Tomás, Domínguez-Delgado, Antonio, Gómez Marmol, Macarena

“…We present an extension of this technique to nonlinear convection-diffusion equations (a traffic model), providing an efficient method for the resolution of shocks from just the Galerkin solution at targeted times. We also present a residual-based “a posteriori” VMS filtering, that provides quite accurate stable solutions, can be extended to multi-dimensional problems, and can be applied locally. …”

A study on rolling bearing fault diagnosis using RIME-VMD by Zhenrong Ma, Ying Zhang

“…Simulation results indicate that, compared to the Whale Optimization Algorithm optimized VMD (WOA-VMD), the RIME algorithm optimized VMD (RIME-VMD) achieves shorter search times and higher search efficiency. It facilitates faster identification of decomposition parameters under various fault conditions, enhancing the robustness of fault signal detection and enabling rapid, efficient identification of rolling bearing faults. …”

Experimental Study on Single-excavation Compound Shock-reflection Blasting Technology of Protective Layer by MA Mengmeng, ZHENG Jiawei, DU Haoliang, ZHAO Zhenfu, LU Wenbo

“…Under field test conditions, the excavation molding effect of the compound shock-reflection blasting technique is close to that of the traditional layered excavation method, but the construction speed can be increased by 3~4 times. At the same time, the excavation shaping effect can be significantly improved by appropriately reducing the row distance between the holes.…”

Multi-scale non-uniform hierarchical filtering model based on fractal theory. by Jian Zhang, Fei Peng, Chao He

“…The MNHF model accurately predicts the change in trapping performance at different times when particles move in the trap. The trapping efficiency of the upper layer of the single-layer trap is higher than that of the lower layer based on the particles' moving distance in unit time, and the trapping efficiency of the next layer is reduced by up to 29.34% compared to that of the upper layer. …”
