EARLY FAULT DIAGNOSIS OF ROLLING BEARING BASED ON WAVELET PACKET TRANSFORM ADAPTIVE TEAGER ENERGY SPECTRUM by WANG ChaoGe, REN XuePing, SUN BaiYi, WANG JianGuo

“…Considering the early fault feature information of rolling bearings is difficult to identify,and form the frequency bands after wavelet packet decomposition can not be effectively determined and adaptive to extract the resonance band,the concept of amplitude entropy of frequency band is proposed.On this basis,the wavelet packet transform and Teager energy spectrum was combined,a rolling bearing early fault feature extraction method is proposed based on wavelet packet transform adaptive Teager energy spectrum.Firstly,the vibration signal was decomposed by wavelet packet,and the frequency amplitude entropy of each subband was calculated.Then,on the basis of kurtosis index to determine the best entropy and the optimal decomposition level of wavelet packet,thus,the resonance band was extracted adaptively and effectively.Finally,the Teager energy spectrum analysis was performed to identify the frequency of the bearing fault.Through the signal simulation and experimental data analysis it verifies the effectiveness of the proposed method.…”

Sustainable Development of Water Resources Carrying Capacity Based on System Dynamics: A Case Study of Ganzhou City by WANG Xiaojun, YANG Huan, LI Zhenping, YAN Wenfeng, LAN Sijiao, DU Chao

“…As Ganzhou is the birthplace of Ganjiang River,Dongjiang River,and Beijiang River (“Three Rivers”),the security and sustainable development of its water resources are of great significance to the ecological security and sustainable development of both the Yangtze River Economic Belt downstream and the Guangdong-Hongkong-Macao Greater Bay Area.Thus,seeking the optimal sustainable development mode that Ganzhou's water resources can carry and ensuring the safety and sustainable use of those water resources are currently urgent issues to be solved.In this study,we employ the system dynamics method to build a system dynamics model of Ganzhou's water resources carrying capacity by analyzing its influencing factors and the system feedback loop and dividing the carrying capacity system into three sub-systems of social economy,water resources,and water environment.Moreover,four scenarios of normal development,economic priority,environmental priority,and comprehensive and coordinated development are designed to simulate Ganzhou's water resources carrying capacity during 2020—2035 and dynamically evaluate and simulatively predict its sustainable development capacity under each scenario.The results indicate that among the four scenarios,all the normal development and economic priority scenarios that sorely pursue the continuation of the current development status of social economy and the environmental priority scenario that protects water resources at the expense of social economy development fail to guarantee the sustainable development of water resources and social economy.In contrast,under the comprehensive and coordinated development mode,the chemical oxygen demand (COD) emissions will remain at a low level of 132 900 t by 2035 while economic development rises to a relatively high level,with GDP reaching 1 197.13 billion CNY.It follows that this mode not only ensures economic development but also takes into account the ecological environment.Therefore,the comprehensive and coordinated development scenario that comprehensively considers social economy development,environmental protection,and other factors is the optimal sustainable development mode that can be carried by water resources.…”

Characterization Method of Tight Sandstone Reservoir Heterogeneity and Tight Gas Accumulation Mechanism, Jurassic Formation, Sichuan Basin, China by Lin Jiang, Wen Zhao, Benjian Zhang, Chao Zheng, Feng Hong, Jiaqing Hao

“…Based on this parameter, petroleum geologists can understand the interlayer heterogeneity during fluvial deposition and predict the sweet spots of tight gas; (2) the permeability ratio relationship between hydrocarbon accumulation of the tight sandstone reservoir mainly manifests as long as there is the existence of the differential permeability and there will be differences in natural gas migration dynamics, so that the natural gas accumulates in pores and depends on the extent of source rock; and (3) although the difference between capillary force curves is at the core of the influence of the permeability ratio on the gas-bearing capacity of the “sweet spot” sand body, the permeability ratio is a parameter of practical engineering significance. …”
