Micro laser shock peening (mu LSP) with pulse energies well below 1 J proved to be a useful technique to obtain fatigue-life performances similar to those reported for traditional LSP processes on metallic bulk materials [1, 2]. However, it suffers from a lack of productivity as spot sizes are reduced and pulse overlaps are increased in order to obtain compressive residual stresses, deep below the surface of the bulk material. To overcome these limitations of mu LSP, we have investigated strategies to scale up the productivity by increasing laser repetition rate while keeping constant the total amount of energy deposited on the peened surface [3-5]. We have built a laser processing cell to meet industrial grade applications. Complex surfaces are mounted on a KUKA robot to control the laser orientation and pulse overlap on the 3D workpiece surface. The pulse energy is provided by an 8 ns, Nd:YAG Laser, operating at 1064 nm, with a variable repetition rate from 10 to 100 Hz and delivering a maximum energy of 450 mJ/pulse on Al 2024-T351 samples with a thickness of 10 mm. We present high speed video analysis as diagnostic tool illustrating limitations in upscaling of repetition rates. As a proof of the mu LSP effectiveness we present compressive residual stress profiles with up to -500 MPa peak and a return to zero down to 1.8 mm below the surface. This represents a 5-times improvement of the maximum stress depth, when compared to conventional peening processes widely used in the aeronautic industry.

This paper presents a transiting target value-based control method for the path following of unmanned surface vessel (USV). The target heading angle is arranged through a transiting process, and the transited target heading angle is treated as the real desired heading angle for the heading controller. This can alleviate the overshoot problem caused by the target heading angle abrupt change during broken line path following. To eliminate the steady state error, an integral type S plane speed controller is employed. Broken line path following field experiment is carried out to validate the rationality of the designed control scheme.

Monitoring and diagnostics of large software systems is crucial to ensure uninterrupted functioning of modern businesses. Reliability engineers have to rely on automatic event processing to identify and mitigate any potential disruptions of the system health from underlying computer networks. As obtaining impact labels for individual events is expensive, systems operators usually maintain only a small rep-resentative dataset, making it hard for machine learning practitioners to train models on large-scale data streams. By formulating the problem within the multiple instance learning framework, we propose an approach to event classification that can be effectively trained using this limited information. Our evaluation results show potential 65% reduction in minutes spent by the network reliability engineers on disruption investigations when the proposed model is used. By automatically quantifying the network impact, the proposed approach streamlines the investigation process and reduces the risk of unnecessary wake-up calls among on-call reliability engineers and resolver personnel.

This paper presents an analysis of operational parameters of the commercial Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) cogeneration unit integrated with biomass-fired boiler and municipal heating network. The analysis is based on field measurements in real operational conditions using standard industrial sensors installed within the system. Regression based mathematical modelling have been applied to develop robust predictive models of the ORC system for its diagnostics and production planning. Historical data collected within the Supervisory control and Data Acquisition System of the plant have been used to establish correlations between key thermodynamic parameters. Results reveal off-design performance characteristics of the ORC unit and its individual components such as turbine, evaporator and condenser. There are also demonstrated results of application of the model for technical condition and performance monitoring, which can support decisions on maintenance activities. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd.

This study investigates the design and real-time application of fractional order sliding mode control (FOSMC) for an industrial air heating process. The closed-loop stability of the system is analysed with Lyapunov theorem. The compensation results of the modelled system are investigated under a sinusoidal tracking reference temperature profile. The physical limitations of the real system are taken into account through experimental applications. Further, the performance evaluation is tabulated with a number of quantitative measures.

Automation of mobile network fault diagnostics and troubleshooting is critical for successful transformation to new network technologies such as 5G and core Network Function Virtualization (NFV). This paper presents a decision tree-based call detail record (CDR) labeling process, which is used to construct an automated end-to-end diagnostics system for mobile network faults. The presented diagnostics system will enable the utilization of automated troubleshooting systems, and the execution of automated corrective actions in third party systems such as Self-Organizing Network (SON) and NFV domain orchestrator.
