  abstract     = {{It has been shown previously that ``slip-slip'' operation of piezoelectric inertia motors allows higher velocities and smoother movements than classic ``stick-slip'' operation. One very promising driving option is to use a superposition of multiple sinusoidal signals. In this contribution, previous theoretical results are validated experimentally. The results confirm the theoretical result that for a given maximum frequency, usually defined by the actuator characteristics, a signal with high fundamental frequency and consisting of two superposed sine waves leads to the highest velocity and the smoothest motion. This result is of fundamental importance for the further development of high-velocity piezoelectric inertia motors.}},

For optimizing inertia motors, it is important to understand the friction contact correctly and to measure its properties appropriately. This contribution presents experimental set-ups for measuring the contact force, friction force and relative displacement in an actual inertia motor with a dry friction contact and numerical simulations of the motor operation. The motor uses a pre-stressed multilayer actuator with a displacement in the range of 20 $\mu$ m. It is shown that a previously postulated condition for the applicability of simple kinetic friction models is well fulfilled for the investigated motor. The friction contact in the motor is simulated using different kinetic friction models. The input for the friction models is the measured motion of the rod. The models qualitatively reproduce the measured motion but show quantitative deviations varying with frequency. These can be explained by vibrations of the driving rod that are experimentally investigated.}},

  abstract     = {{This contribution provides a systematic investigation and performance comparison of different modes of operation for piezoelectric inertia drives. The movement of these motors is classically assumed to consist of steps involving stiction and sliding, resulting in the term ``stick-slip drives''. In the first part of this contribution it has been found that using ideal driving signals, ``slip-slip'' operation without phases of stiction allows very high velocities, while the maximum velocity is limited principally in stick-slip operation. In this part it is shown that slip-slip operation is also suitable for use with real actuators, driven with frequency-limited versions of the ideal signals presented in part I. The motional performance of the motor as well as its wear and the required electric power are investigated for operation with different signals. It is found that for high velocity inertia motors it is recommendable to use actuators with large stroke and to drive them with a signal consisting of two harmonics at a high fundamental frequency, a result that is supported by similar setups implemented experimentally by other authors. Using Lanczos' \sigma factors to calculate the frequency-limited excitation signals instead of standard Fourier series additionally increases the motor performance significantly. The results help motor designers to choose the appropriate mode of operation and to optimise the motor parameters for their individual applications.}},

Using the example of a translational inertia motor excited by an ideal displacement signal, it is found that the maximum velocity reachable in stick--slip operation is limited principally, while continuous slip--slip operation allows very high velocities. For the investigated driving signals, the motor velocity is proportional to the square root of the actuator stroke.

@article{9807,
  abstract     = {{Recently, focus on maintenance strategies has been shifted towards prognostic health management (PHM) and a number of state of the art algorithms based on data-driven prognostics have been developed to predict the health states of degrading components based on sensory data. Amongst these algorithms, Multiclass Support Vector Machines (MC-SVM) has gained popularity due to its relatively high classification accuracy, ability to classify multiple patterns and capability to handle noisy /incomplete data. However, its application is limited by the difficulty in determining the required kernel function and penalty parameters. To address this problem, this paper proposes a hybrid differential evolution -- particle swarm optimization (DE-PSO) algorithm to optimize the MC-SVM kernel function and penalty parameters. The differential algorithm (DE) obtains the search limit for the SVM parameters, while the particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) determines the global optimum parameters for a given training data set. Since degrading machinery components display several degradation stages in their lifetime, the MC-SVM trained with optimum parameters are used to estimate the health states of a degrading machinery component, from which the remaining useful life (RUL) is predicted. This method improves the classification accuracy of MC-SVM in predicting the health states of a machinery component and consequently increases the accuracy of RUL predictions. The feasibility of the method is validated using bearing prognostic run-to-failure data obtained from NASA public data repository. A comparative study between MC-SVM with parameters obtained using simple grid search with n-fold cross validation and MCSVM with DE-PSO based on prognostic performance metrics reveals that the proposed method has better performance, with all the cases considered falling within a 10 \% error margin. The method also outperforms other soft computing methods proposed in literature.}},

  abstract     = {{This study presents the methods employed by a team from the department of Mechatronics and Dynamics at the University of Paderborn, Germany for the 2013 PHM data challenge. The focus of the challenge was on maintenance action recommendation for an industrial machinery based on remote monitoring and diagnosis. Since an ensemble of data driven methods has been considered as the state of the art approach in diagnosis and prognosis, the first approach was to evaluate the performance of an ensemble of data driven methods using the parametric data as input and problems (recommended maintenance action) as the output. Due to close correlation of parametric data of different problems, this approach produced high misclassification rate. Event-based decision trees were then constructed to identify problems associated with particular events. To distinguish between problems associated with events that appeared in multiple problems, support vector machine (SVM) with parameters optimally tuned using particle swarm optimization (PSO) was employed. Parametric data was used as the input to the SVM algorithm and majority voting was employed to determine the final decision for cases with multiple events. A total of 165 SVM models were constructed. This approach improved the overall score from 21 to 48. The method was further enhanced by employing an ensemble of three data driven methods, that is, SVM, random forests (RF) and bagged trees (BT), to build the event based models. With this approach, a score of 51 was obtained . The results demonstrate that the proposed event based method can be effective in maintenance action recommendation based on events codes and parametric data acquired remotely from an industrial equipment.}},

The bump and rebound wheel velocity leads to significant angular velocities based on the (elasto-)kinematics of the suspension system. Based on the gyroscopic effect, moments arise about the rotating wheel induced by the angular change while bumping. Therefore it leads to undesirable wheel changes and degrades the tire contact and finally decreases the driving stability. A flexible MBS-model of the five-link rear axle system that includes these effects has been built up to allow a detailed investigation of the gyroscopic effect.

  abstract     = {{In this contribution, we introduce a multiobjective optimization used to calculate safe optimal working points for a mechatronic system by including stochastic safety-critical signals in an objective function. Our application example consists of a linear drive for a rail-bound vehicle and an actuation unit. The linear drive's secondary part is fixed; the primary part is vehicle-mounted and can be adjusted vertically to account for deviations of the height of the secondary part. A small air gap between both parts improves efficiency, but increases the risk of a collision between the two parts. Using height data of the secondary part, a trajectory for the vertical adjustment of the primary part is calculated. However, unexpected deviations necessitate a readjustment of the air gap. The probability of such unexpected height deviations can be calculated from the readjustment data. The system is equipped with sensors to measure the air gap. Assuming that the sensor noise is normally distributed, noise characteristics are determined. Using this information and the probability distribution of unexpected height deviations, the probability of a collision is determined.T he sensor noise and the probability of a collision between both parts of the linear drive are included in the dynamical model of the system. Using multiobjective optimization, pareto-optimal working points for the controller of the air gap are obtained. By selecting an appropriate working point, safe operation can be ensured.}},

Among these is the adaptation of the system behavior to the current situation. To do so, they are able to choose from different working points, which are pre-calculated using multiobjective optimization and are thus Pareto-optimal with regard to the chosen objective functions. In this contribution, a method is presented that allows to continuously control the system degradation by adapting the behavior of a selfoptimizing system throughout its complete lifetime. The current remaining useful lifetime is estimated and then related to the spent lifetime and the desired useful lifetime. Using this information, a reliability-related objective is prioritized using a closed-loop control, which in turn is used to determine the working point of the self-optimizing system. This way, the desired useful lifetime can be achieved. To exemplify the setup of the controller structure and to demonstrate the adaptation of the system behavior, a dynamic model of a clutch system is used. It can be seen that the closed loop controller is able to correct for external perturbations, such as changed requirements, as well as changed system parameters. This way, the modeled system is able to achieve the desired lifetime reliably.}},

  abstract     = {{A piezoelectric energy harvester is an electromechanical device that converts ambient mechanical vibration into electric power. Most existing vibration energy harvesting devices operate effectively at a single frequency only, dictated by the design of the device. This frequency must match the frequency of the host structure vibration. However, real world structural vibrations rarely have a specific constant frequency. Therefore, piezoelectric harvesters that generate usable power across a range of exciting frequencies are required to make this technology commercially viable. Currently known harvester tuning techniques have many limitations, in particular they miss the ability to work during harvester operation and most often cannot perform a precise tuning. This paper describes the design and testing of a vibration energy harvester with tunable resonance frequency, wherein the tuning is accomplished by changing the attraction force between two permanent magnets by adjusting the distance between the magnets. This tuning technique allows the natural frequency to be manipulated before and during operation of the harvester. Furthermore the paper presents a physical description of the frequency tuning effect. The experimental results achieved with a piezoelectric bimorph fit the calculated results very well. The calculation and experimental results show that using this tuning technique the natural frequency of the harvester can be varied efficiently within a wide range: in the test setup, the natural frequency of the piezoelectric bimorph could be increased by more than 70\%.}},

These so called self-optimizing systems adapt their objectives and behavior autonomously and flexibly to changing operating conditions. On the one hand, securing the dependability of such systems is challenging due to their complexity and non-deterministic behavior. On the other hand, self-optimization can be used to increase the dependability of the system during its operation. However, it has to be ensured, that the self-optimization works dependable itself. To cope with these challenges, the multi-level dependability concept was developed. It enables predictive condition monitoring, influences the objectives of the system and determines suitable means to improve the system's dependability during its operation. In this contribution we introduce a procedure for the conceptual design of an advanced condition monitoring based on the system's principle solution. The principle solution describes the principal operation mode of the system and its desired behavior. It is modeled using the specification technique for the domain-spanning description of the principle solution of a self-optimizing system and consists of a coherent system of eight partial models (e.g. requirements, active structure, system of objectives, behavior, etc.). The partial models are analyzed separately in order to derive the components of the multi-level dependability concept. In particular, the reliability analysis of the partial model active structure is performed to identify the system elements to be monitored and parameters to be measured. The principle solution is extended accordingly: e.g. with system elements required for the realization of the dependability concept. The advantages of the method are shown on the self-optimizing guidance module of a railroad vehicle.}},
