    [Abstract](2643) [HTML](0) [PDF 8.76 M](4734)
    Abstract:
    A novel phase-locked loop (PLL) -based closed-loop driving circuit with ultra-low-noise trans-impedance amplifier (TIA) is proposed. The TIA is optimized to achieve ultra-low input-referred current noise. To track drive-mode resonant frequency and reduce frequency jitter of actuation voltage, a PLL-based driving technique is adopted. Implemented on printed circuit board (PCB), the proposed driving loop has successfully excited MEMS element into resonance, with a settling time of 3s. The stable frequency and amplitude of TIA output voltage are 10.14KHz and 800mVPP, respectively. With sense-channel electronics, the gyroscope exhibits a scale factor of 0.04mV/°/s and a bias instability of 57.6°/h, which demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed driving circuit.

    Abstract:
    Aiming at the problem of pedestrian bridge vibration measurement, a vibration measurement system of pedestrian bridge with dual magnetic suspension vibrator structure was designed according to absolute vibration measurement principle. The relationship between the magnetic repulsion force of vibrator and its displacement was obtained by the experimental method and the least square fitting method.

The amplitude-frequency characteristic of the system was studied. A simulation model of vibrator measurement system with double magnetic suspension vibrator was established. The analysis shows that the sensitivity of the vibration measurement system with double magnetic suspension vibrator is higher than that with single magnetic suspension vibrator. The four vibration waveforms were measured, that is, no one passes through a pedestrian bridge, there are cars running under the pedestrian bridge, single pedestrian passes through the pedestrian bridge and multiple pedestrians pass through the pedestrian bridge. The multi-scale one-dimensional wavelet decomposition function was used to analyze the vibration signals. The vibration characteristics were obtained using one dimension wavelet decomposition function under four different conditions. Finally, the vibration waveforms of four cases were reconstructed. The measured results show that the vibration measurement system of pedestrian bridge with double magnetic suspension vibrator structure has high measurement sensitivity. The design has a certain value to monitor a pedestrian bridge.

    Abstract:
    This paper aims to investigate the effect of porosity percentage on the wear performance of a wet clutch. A wear calculation model for the relationship of porosity and wear mass loss is established. The results of experiments conducted verify the wear coefficient expression used in the model. The influence of porosity on the wear performance of a friction disc was also analyzed for various pressures and speeds. Specifically, the 80 min sliding test was performed with three different friction disc porosity percentages using a wet clutch test rig. Comparison of the model calculation results with the measured values confirmed the accuracy of the calculation model. The test results show that the calculated and detected data fit well, which indicates that the wear calculation model can be used to estimate the wear mass loss of wet clutch friction plates. These research results will help to improve the anti-abrasion properties and employment lifespan of wet clutch friction discs.

    Abstract:
    In order to improve work performance of Maglev vibration test systems, the relationships of operating parameters between different components and system were researched. The working principle of photoelectric displacement sensor was analyzed. The relationship between displacement of transducer and the infrared light area received by sensor was given.

    2017, 4(3):40-46.
    [Abstract](1767) [HTML](0) [PDF 4.09 M](2185)
    Abstract:
    Lots of progress has been made recently on 2D human pose tracking with tracking-by-detection approaches. However, several challenges still remain in this area which is due to self-occlusions and the confusion between the left and right limbs during tracking. In this work, a head orientation detection step is introduced into the tracking framework to serve as a complementary tool to assist human pose estimation. With the face orientation determined, the system can decide whether the left or right side of the human body is exactly visible and infer the state of the symmetric counterpart. By granting a higher priority for the completely visible side, the system can avoid double counting to a great extent when inferring body poses. The proposed framework is evaluated on the HumanEva dataset. The results show that it largely reduces the occurrence of double counting and distinguishes the left and right sides consistently.

    Abstract:
    High-precision time transfer plays an important role in the areas of fundamental research and applications. Accompanying with the remarkable improvements in the ability of generating and measuring high-accuracy time-frequency signal, seeking for new time-transfer techniques between distant clocks with much further improved accuracy attracts attentions world-widely. The time-transfer technique based on optical pulses has the highest precision presently, and the further improvement in the accuracy is heavily dependent on the time-domain properties of the pulse as well as the sensitivity of the applied measurement on the exchanged pulse. The application of optical frequency comb in time transfer for a precision up to femtosecond level are currently the focus of much interest, and has recently achieved many breakthroughs. Further investigations show that, utilizing quantum techniques, i.e. quantum measurement technique and quantum optical pulse source, can lead to a new limit on the measured timing information. Furthermore, it can be immune from atmospheric parameters, such as pressure, temperature, humidity and so on. Such quantum improvements on time-transfer have a bright prospect in the future applications requiring extremely high-accuracy timing and ranging. The potential achievements will form a technical basis for the future realization of sub-femtosecond time transfer system.

    [Abstract](1652) [HTML](0) [PDF 10.00 M](4830)
    Abstract:
    Crack of conductive component is one of the biggest threats to daily production. In order to detect the crack on conductive component, the pulsed eddy current thermography models were built according to different materials with the cracks based on finite element method (FEM) simulation. The influence of the induction heating temperature distribution with the different defect depths were simulated for the carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) materials and general metal materials. The grey value of image sequence was extracted to analyze its relationship with the depth of crack. Simulative and experimental results show that in the carbon fiber reinforced composite materials, the bigger depth of the crack is, the larger temperature rise of the crack during the heating phase is; and the bigger depth of the crack is, the faster the cooling rate of the crack during the cooling phase is. In general metal materials, the smaller depth of the crack is, the lager temperature rise of the crack during the heating phase is; and the smaller depth of the crack is, the faster the cooling rate of crack during the cooling phase is.

    2016, 3(1):50-60.
    [Abstract](1450) [HTML](0) [PDF 9.07 M](1902)
    Abstract:
    The real-time retrieval of submicron aerosol size distributions is of major interest for applications. Based on the Mie theory, the spectral extinction method offers a simple measurement principle and a convenient optical arrangement. In contrast to the relative simplicity of the experimental measurement the retrieval of the particles size distribution and particle concentration from the spectral extinction method is difficult. Mie scattering Equation is a Fredholm Integral Equation of the First Kind. This paper develops a hybrid iterative model-dependent algorithm for on-line particle sizing from extinction spectra which is both computationally efficient and accurate. Applying the refined Mie diagnostic iterative procedures within some candidate solutions can identify the unique result accurately and rapidly enough for real time measurement. With the addition of added Gaussian noise, an average tolerance up to 5% of noise level is kept for particle size from submicron to micrometer under moderate polydispersity.

    Abstract:
    This paper presents a new type of cold atom interferometry gravimeter based on Bragg diffraction, which is able to increase the gravity measurement sensitivity and stability of common Raman atom gravimeters significantly. By comparing with Raman transition, the principles and advantages of Bragg diffraction-based atom gravimeters have been introduced. The theoretical model for a time-domain Bragg atom gravimeter with atomic incident direction parallels to the wave vector of Bragg lasers has been constructed. Some key technical requirements for an nth-order Bragg diffraction-based atom gravimeter have been deduced, including the temperature of atom cloud, the diameter, curvature radius, frequency, intensity, and timing sequence of Bragg lasers, etc. The analysis results were verified by the existing experimental data in discussion. The present study provides a good reference for the understanding and construction of a Bragg atom gravimeter.

    Abstract:
    Resonant temperature sensors have drawn considerable attention for their advantages such as high sensitivity, digitized signal output and high precision. This paper presents a new type of resonant temperature sensor, which uses capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) as the sensing element. A lumped electro-mechanical-thermal model was established to show its working principle for temperature measurement. The theoretical model explicitly explains the thermally induced changes in the resonant frequency of the CMUT. Then, the finite element method was used to further investigate the sensing performance. The numerical results agree well with the established analytical model qualitatively. The numerical results show that the resonant frequency varies linearly with the temperature over the range of 20 ℃ to 140℃ at the first four vibrating modes. However, the first order vibrating mode shows a higher sensitivity than the other three higher modes. When working at the first order vibrating mode, the temperature coefficient of the resonance frequency (TCf) can reach as high as -1114.3 ppm/℃ at a bias voltage equal to 90% of the collapse voltage of the MCUT. The corresponding nonlinear error was as low as 1.18%. It is discovered that the sensing sensitivity is dependent on the applied bias voltages. A higher sensitivity can be achieved by increasing the bias voltages.

    Abstract:
    This paper investigates a fractional terminal sliding mode control for flexible spacecraft attitude tracking in the presence of inertia uncertainties and external disturbances. The controller is based on the fractional calculus and nonsingular terminal sliding mode control technique, and it guarantees the convergence of attitude tracking error in finite time rather than in the asymptotic sense. With respect to the controller, a fractional order sliding surface is given, the corresponding control scheme is proposed based on Lyapunov stability theory to guarantee the sliding condition, and the finite time stability of the whole close loop system is also proven. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the performance of the proposed scheme.

    Abstract:
    We give a simple introduction to the theoretical treatment of atoms interacting strongly with electromagnetic fields in the radiofrequency, microwave and laser domains. In particular, we discuss the concept of dressed atoms, which considers the combination of the atom and photons as a composite physical system. This powerful concept has a wide range of applications in atomic physics and we give a few examples of its use in the manipulation of ultracold atoms in adiabatic potentials. These examples are selected from experimental work conducted by our research team in Oxford but there are numerous other applications and we outline some future possibilities.

    2015, 2(3):3-11.
    [Abstract](1331) [HTML](0) [PDF 10.77 M](1781)
    Abstract:
    This article proposes the hybrid method to inverse the equivalent electric charge of thunder cloud based on the data of multi-station atmospheric electric field. Firstly, the method combines the genetic algorithm (GA) and Newton method through the mosaic hybrid structure. In addition, the thunder cloud equivalent charge is inversed based on the forward modeling results by giving the parameters of the thunder cloud charge structure. Then an ideal model is built to examine the performance compared to the nonlinear least squares method. Finally, a typical thunderstorms process in Nanjing is analyzed by Genetic-Newton algorithm with the help of weather radar. The results show the proposed method has the strong global searching capability so that the problem of initial value selection can be solved effectively, as well as gets the better inversion results. Furthermore, the mosaic hybrid structure can absorb the advantages of two algorithms better, and the inversion position is consistent with the strongest radar echo. The inversion results find the upper negative charge is small and can be ignored, which means the triple-polarity charge structure is relatively scientific, which could give some references to the research like lightning forecasting, location tracking.
