Controlled Symmetry with Woods-Saxon Stochastic Resonance Enabled Weak Fault Detection

Weak fault detection with stochastic resonance (SR) is distinct from conventional approaches in that it is a nonlinear optimal signal processing to transfer noise into the signal, resulting in a higher output SNR. Owing to this special characteristic of SR, this study develops a controlled symmetry with Woods-Saxon stochastic resonance (CSwWSSR) model based on the Woods-Saxon stochastic resonance (WSSR), where each parameter of the model may be modified to vary the potential structure. Then, the potential structure of the model is investigated in this paper, along with the mathematical analysis and experimental comparison to clarify the effect of each parameter on it. The CSwWSSR is a tri-stable stochastic resonance, but differs from others in that each of its three potential wells is controlled by different parameters. Moreover, the particle swarm optimization (PSO), which can quickly find the ideal parameter matching, is introduced to attain the optimal parameters of the CSwWSSR model. Fault diagnosis of simulation signals and bearings was carried out to confirm the viability of the proposed CSwWSSR model, and the results revealed that the CSwWSSR model is superior to its constituent models.

The Low Concentration Gas Detection Based on Genetic Algorithm Stochastic Resonance

The stochastic resonance (SR) theory provides a new idea for the detection of weak signal submerged in the strong noise. Combined with the optimization theory, this paper puts forward a stochastic resonance system based on genetic algorithm and applied it in a low concentrations gas detection. Firstly we preprocessed the input signal to satisfy the requirements of SR system, then developed the genetic algorithm to seek the maximum output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), which was used to evaluate the performance of the system. In the end the relationship between the maximum SNR and concentration of gas was analyzed. The results of the experiments indicated the proposed method could improve the detection ability and enhance the detection limit of low gas concentrations.

The application of multiobjective genetic algorithm to the parameter optimization of single-well potential stochastic resonance algorithm aimed at simultaneous determination of multiple weak chromatographic peaks

Simultaneous determination of multiple weak chromatographic peaks via stochastic resonance algorithm attracts much attention in recent years. However, the optimization of the parameters is complicated and time consuming, although the single-well potential stochastic resonance algorithm (SSRA) has already reduced the number of parameters to only one and simplified the process significantly. Even worse, it is often difficult to keep amplified peaks with beautiful peak shape. Therefore, multiobjective genetic algorithm was employed to optimize the parameter of SSRA for multiple optimization objectives (i.e., S/N and peak shape) and multiple chromatographic peaks. The applicability of the proposed method was evaluated with an experimental data set of Sudan dyes, and the results showed an excellent quantitative relationship between different concentrations and responses.
