The Aizerman Conjecture predicts stability for a class of nonlinear control systems on the basis of linear system stability analysis. The conjecture is known to be false in general. Here, a number of Aizerman conjectures are shown to be true for a cl... Read More about Aizerman Conjectures for a class of multivariate positive systems.

Novel visual crack width measurement based on backbone double-scale features for improved detection automation (2022)
Journal Article
Tang, Y., Huang, Z., Chen, Z., Chen, M., Zhou, H., Zhang, H., & Sun, J. (2023). Novel visual crack width measurement based on backbone double-scale features for improved detection automation. Engineering Structures, 274, Article 115158. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.engstruct.2022.115158

State-of-the-art machine-vision systems have limitations associated with crack width measurements. The sample points used to describe the crack width are often subjectively defined by experimenters, which obscures the crack width ground truth. Conseq...

A three-stage criterion method for extracting local vibration modes of tensioned cables in beam string structures (2022)
Journal Article
Zhang, T., Zhang, Y., & Zhang, H. (2022). A three-stage criterion method for extracting local vibration modes of tensioned cables in beam string structures. Frontiers in Materials, 9, Article 1055635. https://doi.org/10.3389/fmats.2022.1055635

As light and efficient large-span space structures, beam string structures have been widely used since the 1980s. Within them, cables are the main force-bearing component; their level of tension determines the overall stiffness, performance and struc...

Very Accurate Time-Frequency Representation of Induction Motors Harmonics for Fault Diagnosis Under Arbitrary Load Variations (2022)
Conference Proceeding
Bonet-Jara, J., Fernandez-Cavero, V., Vedreno Santos, F., & Pons-Llinares, J. (2022). Very Accurate Time-Frequency Representation of Induction Motors Harmonics for Fault Diagnosis Under Arbitrary Load Variations. In 2022 International Conference on Electrical Machines (ICEM). https://doi.org/10.1109/ICEM51905.2022.9910768

Induction motors work under steady state in many applications. Nevertheless, in some cases (e.g., wood cutting machine or pulp mixer in paper industries), the load continuously varies. In these cases, time-frequency transforms are needed to detect th...
