Acoustic Emission (AE) data from single point turning machining are analysed in this paper in order to gain a greater insight of the signal statistical properties for Tool Condition Monitoring (TCM) applications. A statistical analysis of the time series data amplitude and root mean square (RMS) value at various tool wear levels are performed, �nding that ageing features can be revealed in all cases from the observed experimental histograms. In particular, AE data amplitudes are shown to be distributed with a power-law behaviour above a cross-over value. An analytic model for the RMS values probability density function (pdf) is obtained resorting to the Jaynes maximum entropy principle (MEp); novel technique of constraining the modelling function under few fractional moments, instead of a greater amount of ordinary moments, leads to well-tailored functions for experimental histograms.
The statistical properties of acoustic emission signals for tool condition monitoring (TCM) applications in mechanical lathe machining are analyzed in this paper. Time series data and root mean square (RMS) values at various tool wear levels are shown to exhibit features that can be put into relation with ageing in both cases. In particular, the histograms of raw data show power-law distributions above a cross-over value, in which newer cutting tools exhibit more numerous larger events compared with more worn-out ones. For practical purposes, statistics based on RMS values are more feasible, and the analysis of these also reveals discriminating age-related features. The assumption that experimental RMS histograms follow a Beta (b) distribution has also been tested. The residuals of the modeling b functions indicate that the search for a more appropriate fitting function for the experimental distribution is desirable.
We address the problem of defining early warning indicators of critical transition. To this purpose, we fit the relevant time series through a class of linear models, known as Auto-Regressive Moving-Average (ARMA(p,q)) models. We define two indicators representing the total order and the total persistence of the process, linked, respectively, to the shape and to the characteristic decay time of the autocorrelation function of the process. We successfully test the method to detect transitions in a Langevin model and a 2D Ising model with nearest-neighbour interaction. We then apply the method to complex systems, namely for dynamo thresholds and financial crisis detection.
The statistical methods used in deriving physics results in the BaBar collaboration are reviewed, with especial emphasis on areas where practice is not uniform in particle physics.
We describe an algorithm for simulating ultrasound propagation in random one-dimensional media, mimicking different microstructures by choosing physical properties such as domain sizes and mass densities from probability distributions. By combining a detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) of the simulated ultrasound signals with tools from the pattern-recognition literature, we build a Gaussian classifier which is able to associate each ultrasound signal with its corresponding microstructure with a very high success rate. Furthermore, we also show that DFA data can be used to train a multilayer perceptron which estimates numerical values of physical properties associated with distinct microstructures.
As a classical state, for instance a digitized image, is transferred through a classical channel, it decays inevitably with the distance due to the surroundings interferences. However, if there are enough number of repeaters, which can both check and recover the states information continuously, the states decay rate will be significantly suppressed, then a classical Zeno effect might occur. Such a physical process is purely classical and without any interferences of living beings, therefore, it manifests that the Zeno effect is no longer a patent of quantum mechanics, but does exist in classical stochastic processes.
