Using Operating Deflection Shapes to Detect Faults in Rotating Equipment
AbstractThis paper is the third in a series where an operating deflection shape (ODS) is used as the means of detecting faults in rotating machinery [1] [2]. In this paper, ODS comparison is used as a...
View ArticleModes Indicate Cracks in Wind Turbine Blades
AbstractOn-line surveillance of the structural integrity of wind turbines is a critical need in this currently fast growing industry. The structural integrity of the turbine blades themselves is...

AbstractSnow provides large seasonal storage of freshwater, and information about the distribution of snow mass as snow water equivalent (SWE) is important for hydrological planning and detecting...
View ArticleA New Measure of Shape Difference
AbstractThe Modal Assurance Criterion (MAC) is currently the most popular method for measuring whether or not two mode shapes are strongly correlated. In fact, MAC can be applied to any two sets of...
View ArticleTowards Scalable DNS-Based Service Discovery for the Internet of Things
AbstractThe Internet of Things promises to integrate Constrained-Node Networks (CNNs) with the Internet in a standard interoperable manner. To achieve this, automated, efficient and standardised...
View ArticleProportional Damping from Experimental Data
AbstractDamping forces are typically ignored during the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of mechanical structures. In most real structures, it can be assumed that there are several damping mechanisms at...

View ArticleTowards efficient distributed service discovery in low-power and lossy networks
AbstractLow-power and Lossy Networks (LLNs) have been recognised as a promising technology to achieve ubiquity in the internet of things era. To realise this, service oriented architectures and the...
View ArticleMobile Sensors for Multiparametric Monitoring in Epileptic Patients
AbstractMultiparametric monitoring represents the assessment of physiological, behavioral and/or subjective, data with mobile sensor systems. Recent technological developments like low power...
View ArticleUsing Mode Shapes for Real Time ODS Animation
AbstractIn a rotating machine, the dominant forces are applied at multiples of the machine running speed, called orders. An order-tracked ODS is assembled from the peaks at one of the order frequencies...
View ArticleCalculating Stress and Strain from Experimental ODS Data
AbstractIn this paper it is shown how a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) model can be used together with experimental Operating Deflection Shape (ODS) data to calculate stresses & strains in a machine...

AbstractBackgroundThe evidence base for the effectiveness of psychological interventions for patients with dissociative non-epileptic seizures (DS) is currently extremely limited, although data from...
View ArticleMisdiagnosis of Earth climate sensitivity based on energy balance model results
AbstractMonckton of Brenchley et al. (Sci Bull 60:122–135, 2015) (hereafter called M15) use a simple energy balance model to estimate climate response. They select parameters for this model based on...
