Covert Wireless Communication with a Poisson Field of Interferers

In this paper, we study covert communication in wireless networks consisting of a transmitter, Alice, an intended receiver, Bob, a warden, Willie, and a Poisson field of interferers. Bob and Willie are subject to uncertain shot noise due to the ambient signals from interferers in the network. With the aid of stochastic geometry, we analyze the throughput of the covert communication between Alice and Bob subject to given requirements on the covertness against Willie and the reliability of decoding at Bob. We consider non-fading and fading channels. We analytically obtain interesting findings on the impacts of the density and the transmit power of the concurrent interferers on the covert throughput. That is, the density and the transmit power of the interferers have no impact on the covert throughput as long as the network stays in the interference-limited regime, for both the non-fading and the fading cases. When the interference is sufficiently small and comparable with the receiver noise, the covert throughput increases as the density or the transmit power of the concurrent interferers increases

Multiple root resonance of tandem mill

The multiple-root resonance theory is introduced. The multiple-root resonance region is defined, and it includes the sub-multiple-root resonance region and complete-multiple-root resonance region. It is proved that the vibration mode shapes are identical if the natural frequencies are similar in size. The dynamic analysis of the 3-DOF model is investigated, and the results show that the variations of the mass ratio and stiffness ratio induce the natural frequencies approaching and forming a multiple-root resonance. The dynamic analysis of the tandem mill is made to study the multiple-root vibration, and the results show that with the increase in mass ratio, the 6th and 7th-order natural frequencies continue approaching one another and converge at the 5th-order natural frequency. The finite element analysis of the rolling mill shows that there are two similar natural frequencies in the rolling mill, and the vibration modes are not identical but have large vertical-component vibrations. The field test shows that the multiple-root resonance occurs in the tandem mill; after the foundation reconstruction, the multiple-root resonance is replaced by resonance with one dominant frequency, and the vibration is reduced

Research on vertical vibration of hot rolling mill under screw-down-strip combined excitation

In this paper, we find the violent vibration of the hot rolling mill is induced by the combination of the screw-down system and the strip, explain how the srew-down-strip combined excitation effects the rolling mill, and introduce an effective method to restrain the vibration. First, two experiments, stripless rolling and turning off the screw-down system, are conducted, the first experiment simulates the rolling process without strip and the second experiment simulates the rolling process without the screw-down system, the results indicate that the rolling mill vibration is induced by the srew-down-strip combined excitation. Then, to explain this phenomenon, the mathematical model of the rolling mill under screw-down-strip combined excitation is proposed, we find that few excitation frequency components can induce more response frequency components, therefore it’s more possible to approach the natural frequency of the rolling mill. Finally, a vibration suppression method is introduced by eliminating some specified frequency components of the screw-down system with a filter, and the result shows that the vibration decreased by 98.7 %
