Noise Reduction of Steel Cord Conveyor Belt Defect Electromagnetic Signal by Combined Use of Improved Wavelet and EMD
In order to reduce the noise of a defect electromagnetic signal of the steel cord conveyor belt used in coal mines, a new signal noise reduction method by combined use of the improved threshold wavelet and Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) is proposed. Firstly, the denoising method based on the improved threshold wavelet is applied to reduce the noise of a defect electromagnetic signal obtained by an electromagnetic testing system. Then, the EMD is used to decompose the denoised signal and then the effective Intrinsic Mode Function (IMF) is extracted by the dominant eigenvalue strategy. Finally, the signal reconstruction is carried out by utilizing the obtained IMF. In order to verify the proposed noise reduction method, the experiments are carried out in two cases including the defective joint and steel wire rope break. The experimental results show that the proposed method in this paper obtains the higher Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) for the defect electromagnetic signal noise reduction of steel cord conveyor belts
XVIII International Coal Preparation Congress
Changes in economic and market conditions of mineral raw materials in recent
years have greatly increased demands on the ef fi ciency of mining production. This
is certainly true of the coal industry. World coal consumption is growing faster than
other types of fuel and in the past year it exceeded 7.6 billion tons. Coal extraction
and processing technology are continuously evolving, becoming more economical
and environmentally friendly. “ Clean coal ” technology is becoming increasingly
popular. Coal chemistry, production of new materials and pharmacology are now
added to the traditional use areas — power industry and metallurgy. The leading role
in the development of new areas of coal use belongs to preparation technology and
advanced coal processing. Hi-tech modern technology and the increasing interna-
tional demand for its effectiveness and ef fi ciency put completely new goals for the
University. Our main task is to develop a new generation of workforce capacity and
research in line with global trends in the development of science and technology to
address critical industry issues.
Today Russia, like the rest of the world faces rapid and profound changes
affecting all spheres of life. The de fi ning feature of modern era has been a rapid
development of high technology, intellectual capital being its main asset and
resource. The dynamics of scienti fi c and technological development requires acti-
vation of University research activities. The University must be a generator of ideas
to meet the needs of the economy and national development. Due to the high
intellectual potential, University expert mission becomes more and more called for
and is capable of providing professional assessment and building science-based
predictions in various fi elds.
Coal industry, as well as the whole fuel and energy sector of the global economy
is growing fast. Global multinational energy companies are less likely to be under
state in fl uence and will soon become the main mechanism for the rapid spread of
technologies based on new knowledge. Mineral resources will have an even greater
impact on the stability of the economies of many countries. Current progress in the
technology of coal-based gas synthesis is not just a change in the traditional energy markets, but the emergence of new products of direct consumption, obtained from
coal, such as synthetic fuels, chemicals and agrochemical products. All this requires
a revision of the value of coal in the modern world economy
Process Modeling in Pyrometallurgical Engineering
The Special Issue presents almost 40 papers on recent research in modeling of pyrometallurgical systems, including physical models, first-principles models, detailed CFD and DEM models as well as statistical models or models based on machine learning. The models cover the whole production chain from raw materials processing through the reduction and conversion unit processes to ladle treatment, casting, and rolling. The papers illustrate how models can be used for shedding light on complex and inaccessible processes characterized by high temperatures and hostile environment, in order to improve process performance, product quality, or yield and to reduce the requirements of virgin raw materials and to suppress harmful emissions
WOFEX 2021 : 19th annual workshop, Ostrava, 1th September 2021 : proceedings of papers
The workshop WOFEX 2021 (PhD workshop of Faculty of Electrical Engineer-ing and Computer Science) was held on September 1st September 2021 at the VSB – Technical University of Ostrava. The workshop offers an opportunity for students to meet and share their research experiences, to discover commonalities in research and studentship, and to foster a collaborative environment for joint problem solving. PhD students are encouraged to attend in order to ensure a broad, unconfined discussion. In that view, this workshop is intended for students and researchers of this faculty offering opportunities to meet new colleagues.Ostrav
International Conference on Civil Infrastructure and Construction (CIC 2020)
This is the proceedings of the CIC 2020 Conference, which was held under
the patronage of His Excellency Sheikh Khalid bin Khalifa bin Abdulaziz Al
Thani in Doha, Qatar from 2 to 5 February 2020. The goal of the conference
was to provide a platform to discuss next-generation infrastructure and its
construction among key players such as researchers, industry professionals
and leaders, local government agencies, clients, construction contractors and
policymakers.
The conference gathered industry and academia to disseminate their research
and field experiences in multiple areas of civil engineering. It was also a unique
opportunity for companies and organizations to show the most recent
advances in the field of civil infrastructure and construction.
The conference covered a wide range of timely topics that address the needs
of the construction industry all over the world and particularly in Qatar. All
papers were peer reviewed by experts in their field and edited for publication.
The conference accepted a total number of 127 papers submitted by authors
from five different continents under the following four themes:
Theme 1: Construction Management and Process
Theme 2: Materials and Transportation Engineering
Theme 3: Geotechnical, Environmental, and Geo-environmental Engineering
Theme 4: Sustainability, Renovation, and Monitoring of Civil InfrastructureThe list of the Sponsors are listed at page 1
