Hyper-Heuristic Capacitance Array Method for Multi-Metal Wear Debris Detection.

ABSTRACT: Online detection of fatigued wear debris in the lubricants of aero-engines can provide warning of engine failure during flight, thus having great economic and social benefits. In this paper, we propose a capacitance array sensor and a hyper-heuristic partial differential equation (PDE) inversion method for detecting multiple micro-scale metal debris, combined with self-adaptive cellular genetic (SA-CGA) and morphological algorithms. Firstly, different from the traditional methods, which are limited in multi-induction-Dirac-boundary-inversion, a mathematical model with non-local boundary conditions is established. Furthermore, a hyper-heuristic method based on prior knowledge is also proposed to extract the wear character. Moreover, a 12-plate array circulating sensor and corresponding detection system are designed. The experimental results were compared with the optical microscopy. The results show that under the conditions of 1~3 wear debris with diameters of between 250?900 ?m, the accuracy of the proposed method is 10?38% higher than those of the traditional methods. The recognition error of the wear debris counts decreases to 0.

Project description:We analyze the ferroelectric domain-wall induced negative capacitance (NC) effect in Metal-FE-Insulator-Metal (MFIM) and Metal-FE-Insulator-Semiconductor (MFIS) stacks through phase-field simulations by self-consistently solving time-dependent Ginzburg Landau equation, Poisson's equation and semiconductor charge equations. Considering Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 as the ferroelectric material, we study 180° ferroelectric domain formation in MFIM and MFIS stacks and their polarization switching characteristics. Our analysis signifies that the applied voltage-induced polarization switching via soft domain-wall displacement exhibits non-hysteretic characteristics. In addition, the change in domain-wall energy, due to domain-wall displacement, exhibits a long-range interaction and thus, leads to a non-homogeneous effective local negative permittivity in the ferroelectric. Such effects yield an average negative effective permittivity that further provides an enhanced charge response in the MFIM stack, compared to Metal-Insulator-Metal. Furthermore, we show that the domain-wall induced negative effective permittivity is not an intrinsic property of the ferroelectric material and therefore, is dependent on its thickness, the gradient energy coefficient and the in-plane permittivity of the underlying insulator. Similar to the MFIM stack, MFIS stack also exhibits an enhanced charge/capacitance response compared to Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (MOS) capacitor. Simultaneously, the multi-domain state of the ferroelectric induces non-homogeneous potential in the underlying insulator and semiconductor layer. At low applied voltages, such non-homogeneity leads to the co-existence of electrons and holes in an undoped semiconductor. In addition, we show that with the ferroelectric layer being in the 180° multi-domain state, the minimum potential at the ferroelectric-dielectric interface and hence, the minimum surface potential in the semiconductor, does not exceed the applied voltage (in-spite of the local differential amplification and charge enhancement).

Project description:BackgroundWear, oxidation, and particularly rim impingement damage of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene total disc replacement components have been observed following surgical revision. However, neither in vitro testing nor retrieval-based evidence has shown the effect(s) of impingement on the characteristics of polyethylene wear debris. Thus, we sought to determine (1) differences in polyethylene particle size, shape, number, or biological activity that correspond to mild or severe rim impingement and (2) in an analysis of all total disc replacements, regardless of impingement classification, whether there are correlations between the extent of regional damage and the characteristics of polyethylene wear debris.MethodsThe extent of dome and rim damage was characterized for eleven retrieved polyethylene cores obtained at revision surgery after an average duration of implantation of 9.7 years (range, 4.6 to 16.1 years). Polyethylene wear debris was isolated from periprosthetic tissues with use of nitric acid and was imaged with use of environmental scanning electron microscopy. Subsequently, particle size, shape, number, biological activity, and chronic inflammation scores were determined.ResultsGrouping of particles by size ranges that represented high biological relevance (<0.1 to 1-μm particles), intermediate biological relevance (1 to 10-μm particles), and low biological relevance (>10-μm particles) revealed an increased volume fraction of particles in the <0.1 to 1-μm and 1 to 10-μm size ranges in the mild-impingement cohort as compared with the severe-impingement cohort. The increased volume fractions resulted in a higher specific biological activity per unit particle volume in the mild-impingement cohort than in the severe-impingement cohort. However, functional biological activity, which is normalized by particle volume (mm3/g of tissue), was significantly higher in the severe-impingement cohort. This increase was due to a larger volume of particles in all three size ranges. In both cohorts, the functional biological activity correlated with the chronic inflammatory response, and the extent of rim penetration positively correlated with increasing particle size, number, and functional biological activity.ConclusionsThe results of this study suggest that severe rim impingement increases the production of biologically relevant particles from motion-preserving lumbar total disc replacement components.Level of evidencePrognostic Level IV.
