Mems Based Motor Fault Detection in Windmill Using Neural NetworksIJRES Journal
Today wind turbine technology is one of the fastest growing power generation technologies operating in large numbers at harsh and difficult environment sites and it is difficult to monitor each and every windmill separately. There are times when faults occur in motors of windmills are not detected in earlier stage and we come to know about damage when motor gets fully damaged. Here we using wireless monitoring based on MEMS accelerometer sensor which senses the vibrations occurring in the motor and based on the severity of vibrations, sensor sends the data to the controlling unit to take further action. Neural network based work is included to get the accurate and precise vibratory signals to detect fault at a very early stage to avoid full damage to the motor.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

1.1 WHAT IS SMART MATERIALS ?
-1-
-Smart or intelligent materials are materials that have the
intrinsic and extrinsic capabilities, first, to respond to stimuli
and environmental changes, second, to activate their functions
according to these changes.
*Stimulus —stress, strain, light, electric field, temperature ,
pressure,moisture, magnatic field.
*Response —motion or change in optical properties,modulus,
surface tension, piezoelectricity etc.
5. 1.2 Traditional vs . Smart structure
Traditional structures
• Designed for certain performance requirements eg. load, speed ,life span.
• Unable to modify its specifications if there is a change of environment.

the required raw data needed for an appropriate sensing and monitoring of the
structure.
Data Transmission (sensory nerves): the purpose of this part is to forward
the raw data to the local and/or central command and control units.
1.5 Smart Structures
Command and Control Unit (brain): the role of this unit is to manage
and control the whole system by analyzing the data, reaching the
appropriate conclusion, and determining the actions required.
Data Instructions (motor nerves): the function of this part is to
transmit the decisions and the associated instructions back to the
members of the structure.
Action Devices (muscles): the purpose of this part is to take action by
starting the controlling devices/ units.

2.1 WHAT IS VIBRATION ?
Scientific Definition
Any motion that repeats itself after an internal of
time.
Engineering Definition
Deals with the relationship between forces and
oscillatory motion of Mechanical systems.
A piezoelectric disk generates a voltage
when deformed (change in shape is
greatly exaggerated
21. Shunt Circuit Design
The smart damping technique chosen for this study involved attaching piezoceramic
devices that are shunted with passive electrical circuits. When the panel vibrates, as
illustrated in Figure below, the mechanical energy strains the piezoelectric material
and thereby generates electrical energy .The shunted electrical impedance then
dissipates this electrical energy. The components of these shunt circuits (resistors
,capacitors, and inductors) are chosen to produce an effective mechanical
impedance at desired levels and frequencies.

22. 2.2.2 Shunt Tuning
Tuning the PZT resonant shunt circuits:
The first step is to determine the electrical resonant
frequencies required to dissipate the mechanical energy.
The second step is to calculate the initial values for the
variable resistors in the shunt circuit.
The final step is to fine-tune the resistors with testing in
order to achieve optimal damping.
19
23. Damped and undamped vibration refer to two different
types of vibrations. The main difference between them
is that undamped vibration refer to vibrations where
energy of the vibrating object does not get dissipated to
surroundings over time, whereas damped vibration refers
to vibrations where the vibrating object loses its energy to
the surroundings.

25. 2.3 Vibration Benefits of Smart Damping
for Undamped Plates
Once the smart damping plate was constructed, initial tests
were performed on the shunted and unshunted plates. The
shunt circuits were tuned to the resonant frequencies
between 50 and 450 Hz for the unshunted plate. Figure
(*1*) illustrates the effect of the tuned shunt circuits on
the plate vibration response. Peaks 3, 4, and 5 were the
most significantly reduced for the shunted plate.

4 (235 Hz) 11.28 4.05 64.1
5 (245 Hz) 47.97 3.87 91.9

The goal of the testing was to determine the total vibration
reduction achieved by the application of smart damping.
Table above presents the decreases in the peak accelerations
that were obtained using the tuned shunts. The results
indicate that the smart damping significantly reduced the
four resonant peak vibrations, with the largest reductions
achieved for peaks 3 and 5.

28. 2.4 Benefits of Smart Damping for Damped Structures
This section investigates the added benefits of applying smart damping when
used with conventional passive damping materials. The effect of adding smart
damping materials to a plate damped with :
· unbacked carpet,
· shoddy and unbacked carpet, and
· shoddy and 0.3 PSF backed carpet

Fig(*3*)
29. The evaluation was based on comparing the vibration
measurements with and without smart damping for each of the
above treatments. These treatments, as shown in Figure (*3*) were
cut into 400 mm x 500 mm samples that were placed over the test
plates. Each material is evaluated by measuring the plate vibrations
similar to the undamped cases.
Shoddy is a foam pad made of interwoven fabric scraps that is
placed under the carpeting in vehicles.
The backed carpet has a layer of rubber melted onto the carpet to
add damping with mass loading.
The grade of carpet is measured as pounds per square foot or PSF.
26
30. As was expected, the damping treatments altered the frequency
response of the plate which required the shunts to be retuned
for each damping case. Once the shunt circuits were optimized,
the three different treatments were tested for both the shunted
plate and the undamped plate.
The augmenting vibration benefits of PZTs are presented
first followed by the acoustic benefits.
27
31. Vibration Benefits of Adding Smart Damping to
Damped Structures
28
It is evident in Figures below that the smart damping has the most
effect on accelerations above 125 Hz. It is also noted that the
PZTs add less additional damping as the amount of treatment
increases and the vibrations decrease.
Another convenient method to assess the benefits of smart
damping materials is to evaluate their broadband performance
using a third-octave band analysis. For the vibration data, 1/3-
octave values were determined for each center frequency.

37. The benefits of smart damping materials, specifically
piezoceramics with shunt circuits, in reducing vibrations
were addressed. Tests were conducted on a test plate with
shunted PZTs. A comparison of the results with an
undamped plate showed that the smart damping materials
can significantly lower both the plate vibration for both
narrowband and broadband frequencies.

Editor's Notes
Classification based on their ability to transduce energy.
A completely tailored man-made composite material. The purpose of this material is to improve or add strength or stiffness.
An amalgamation of single/composite materials with Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRPs).If the FRP is combined with fibre optic sensors, the resulting product will be an attractive and particularly cost effective smart composite
