A convolutional neural network aided physical model improvement for AC solenoid valves diagnosis
This paper focuses on the development of a physics-based diagnostic tool for alternating current (AC) solenoid valves which are categorized as critical components of many machines used in the process industry. Signal processing and machine learning based approaches have been proposed in the literature to diagnose the health state of solenoid valves. However, the approaches do not give a physical explanation of the failure modes. In this work, being capable of diagnosing failure modes while using a physically interpretable model is proposed. Feature attribution methods are applied to CNN on a large data set of the current signals acquired from accelerated life tests of several AC solenoid valves. The results reveal important regions of interest on current signals that guide the modeling of the main missing component of an existing physical model. Two model parameters, which are the shading ring and kinetic coulomb forces, are then identified using current measurements along the lifetime of valves. Consistent trends are found for both parameters allowing to diagnose the failure modes of the solenoid valves. Future work will consist of not only diagnosing the failure modes, but also of predicting the remaining useful life
Domain Adaptive Transfer Learning for Fault Diagnosis
Thanks to digitization of industrial assets in fleets, the ambitious goal of
transferring fault diagnosis models fromone machine to the other has raised
great interest. Solving these domain adaptive transfer learning tasks has the
potential to save large efforts on manually labeling data and modifying models
for new machines in the same fleet. Although data-driven methods have shown
great potential in fault diagnosis applications, their ability to generalize on
new machines and new working conditions are limited because of their tendency
to overfit to the training set in reality. One promising solution to this
problem is to use domain adaptation techniques. It aims to improve model
performance on the target new machine. Inspired by its successful
implementation in computer vision, we introduced Domain-Adversarial Neural
Networks (DANN) to our context, along with two other popular methods existing
in previous fault diagnosis research. We then carefully justify the
applicability of these methods in realistic fault diagnosis settings, and offer
a unified experimental protocol for a fair comparison between domain adaptation
methods for fault diagnosis problems.Comment: Presented at 2019 Prognostics and System Health Management Conference

A generalisation of a partition theorem of Andrews to overpartitions
In 1969, Andrews proved a theorem on partitions with difference conditions
which generalises Schur's celebrated partition identity. In this paper, we
generalise Andrews' theorem to overpartitions. The proof uses q-differential
equations and recurrences
The behavior of statically-indeterminate structural members and frames with cracks present
Arts et Métiers ParisTech, invitation en tant que professeur invité de Paul C. Paris au LAMEFIPCrack stability is discussed as affected by their presence in statically-indeterminate beams, frames, rings, etc. loaded into the plastic range. The stability of a crack in a section, which has become plastic, is analyzed with the remainder of the structure elastic and with subsequent additional plastic hinges occurring. The reduction of energy absorption characteristics for large deformations is also discussed. The methods of elastic–plastic tearing instability are incorporated to show that in many cases the fully plastic collapse mechanism must occur for complete failure.The authors acknowledge Arts et Metiers Paris Tech and Foundation Arts et Metiers for the financial support of the Prof. P.C. Paris’ stay at LAMEFIP in 2008 and 2009. The encouragement of Prof. Ivan Iordanoff, Director of LAMEFIP, is also acknowledged with thanks
The design of surfaces, between empathy and new figuration
Nowadays design languages seem anew defined through images and figures that appear increasingly distant from abstraction. In the time that we live in, where it is prevailing a dominance of individual needs rather common desires, an abandon of abstraction in favour of new figuration, stimulates the opportunity to investigate a new dyad, ‘Project and Empathy’; these terms could summarize well the expanded modality of physical and psychological interaction between people – as individual – and artefacts, through the increasing role of surfaces. The whole world of postmodern image, especially through the digital technologies, tends to offer hyper realistic aesthetic simulacra, altered nature: this is the current world of extension of feelings and sense, in which we are immersed daily. This condition affect the approaches to design, which require a new thinking around technologies, method and tools from training to practice the activity of design: a new attitude for materiality of things, beyond the immateriality of digital reality
On the characterization of models of H*: The semantical aspect
We give a characterization, with respect to a large class of models of
untyped lambda-calculus, of those models that are fully abstract for
head-normalization, i.e., whose equational theory is H* (observations for head
normalization). An extensional K-model is fully abstract if and only if it
is hyperimmune, {\em i.e.}, not well founded chains of elements of D cannot be
captured by any recursive function.
This article, together with its companion paper, form the long version of
[Bre14]. It is a standalone paper that presents a purely semantical proof of
the result as opposed to its companion paper that presents an independent and
purely syntactical proof of the same result
Irreducible Coxeter groups
We prove that a non-spherical irreducible Coxeter group is (directly)
indecomposable and that a non-spherical and non-affine Coxeter group is
strongly indecomposable in the sense that all its finite index subgroups are
(directly) indecomposable. We prove that a Coxeter group has a decomposition as
a direct product of indecomposable groups, and that such a decomposition is
unique up to a central automorphism and a permutation of the factors. We prove
that a Coxeter group has a virtual decomposition as a direct product of
strongly indecomposable groups, and that such a decomposition is unique up to
commensurability and a permutation of the factors
From braid groups to mapping class groups
This paper is a survey of some properties of the braid groups and related
groups that lead to questions on mapping class groups
Emotional Outbursts and Their Effects on Peer Relations in the Preschool Classroom
Emotions and emotion regulation play a role in a child’s interactions with their peers. This study uses observations collected in two preschool classrooms to address the questions of what causes emotional outbursts and how emotional outbursts affect the children involved. In this study, an emotional outburst is defined as an occurrence in which the child is making loud noises and having a physical reaction to an event that has just occurred. Participants were 22 children from the ages of three to five years old. Observational data were collected, and analyzed through categorization and interpretation, and results from this study suggest that there are many common causes of emotional outbursts in the children observed. The findings do not indicate obvious effects of emotional outbursts on children in the vicinity of the outburst
