Multi-objective Optimization and Strength Simulation Analysis of Planetary Reducer with Small Tooth Number Difference by Xia Jianfang, Zhou Shuaihua, Chen Siyu

“…Therefore,based on the elastic multi- tooth contact effect,taking the basic parameters of gear as design variables,and a multi- objective optimization model of small tooth difference planetary drive is established,while targeting on maximum efficiency as well as smallest volume and the internal and external gear equal strength of the core unit of the planet wheel. The optimization results show that the internal and external gear strength is close enough,and the meshing efficiency raised to 99. 65%,construction volume decreased by29. 3%. …”

Spectrum sensing method based on residual dense network by Jianxin GAI, Xianfeng XUE, Ruixiang NAN, Jingyi WU

“…Aiming at the problem that the traditional spectrum sensing method based on convolutional neural network（CNN） did not make full use of image feature and the ability of extracting the image feature was limited by the shallow network structure， a spectrum sensing method based on the residual dense network （ResDenNet） was proposed.By adding dense connections in the traditional neural network， the information reuse of the image feature was achieved.Meanwhile， shortcut connections were employed at both ends of the dense unit to implement deeper network training.The spectrum sensing problem was transformed into the image binary classification problem.Firstly， the received signals were integrated into a matrix， which was normalized and transformed by gray level.The obtained gray level images were used as the input of the network.Then， the network was trained through dense learning and residual learning.Finally， the online data was input into the ResDenNet and spectrum sensing was implemented based on image classification.The numerical experiments show that the proposed method is superior to the traditional ones in terms of performance.When the SNR is as low as -19 dB， the detection probability of the proposed method is still high up to 0.96 with a low false alarm probability of 0.1， while a better generalization ability is displayed.…”
