A digital twin system for centrifugal pump fault diagnosis driven by transfer learning based on graph convolutional neural networks

In industrial sectors such as shipping, chemical processing, and energy production, centrifugal pumps often experience failures due to harsh operational environments, making it challenging to accurately identify fault types. Traditional fault diagnosis methods, which heavily rely on existing fault datasets, suffer from limited generalization capabilities, especially when substantial labeled and specific fault sample data are lacking. This paper proposes a novel fault diagnosis approach for centrifugal pumps, utilizing a digital twin (DT) framework powered by a graph transfer learning model to address this issue. Firstly, a high-fidelity DT model is constructed to simulate the flow-induced vibration response of the impeller under different health states to enrich the type and scale of the dataset. Secondly, a graph convolutional neural networks (GCN) model is constructed to learn the knowledge of simulation data, and the Wasserstein distance between simulation data and measured data is optimized for adversarial domain adaptation, thereby achieving efficient cross-domain fault diagnosis. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm delivers effective fault diagnosis with minimal prior knowledge and outperforms comparable models. Furthermore, the DT system developed using the proposed model enhances the operational reliability of centrifugal pumps, reduces maintenance costs, and presents an innovative application of DT technology in industrial fault diagnosis.

USE OF INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF ROAD PAVEMENTS

Problem statement. Ukraine, on its way to European integration, faces the challenge not only of joining the European Union, but also of adapting its infrastructure to high European quality standards. After the end of the war, it is necessary not only to rebuild the destroyed roads, aerodromes and buildings, but also to guarantee the sustainability and durability of infrastructure facilities. One of the key industries where innovations can make a significant difference is road construction. Asphalt and concrete are the most common building materials in the construction of flexible and rigid pavements. Innovative technologies for repairing cracks in asphalt and concrete road pavements are constantly evolving. New methods and materials are being sought for more efficient and long-term maintenance of the road surface. The use of advanced technologies allows us to improve the quality of repairs, extend the service life of roads and reduce their environmental impact. Innovative approaches to crack repair help to ensure safety and comfort on the road for all road users. The purpose of the article is to analyze foreign experience in the application of effective innovative technologies in the construction of road pavements and to substantiate the feasibility of using a self-healing top layer of flexible and rigid asphalt and concrete pavements in Ukraine based on the analysis of their properties. Conclusions. The inclusion of self-healing properties in asphalt concrete pavements is an effective method for increasing their service life and achieving environmental friendliness of pavements. Existing and advanced self-healing technologies suitable for use in asphalt pavements, namely, the inclusion of healing agents, induction heating, and hybrid technologies, have been investigated. The mechanisms of self-healing of concrete have been studied: autogenous, based on autonomous bacteria, and based on autonomous capsules. Research on self-healing pavements is aimed at developing a smart and efficient pavement system capable of self-assessment and automated crack repair. The choice of technology should be based on its ability to effectively repair damage and cracks in asphalt and concrete, providing long-term and reliable protection.

Innovative Application of Self-Healing Technology to Masonry: A Proof of Concept

ABSTRACT Cracks represent a prevalent form of damage in masonry structures, posing not only aesthetic concerns but also compromising structural durability; therefore, they are undesirable and need to be repaired. The repointing technique is traditionally implemented in this context, especially in historical masonry. However, this method fails to provide a long-term solution, leaving structures vulnerable to future damage. The paper investigates the applicability of a bio-based self-healing mortar to enable autonomous repair of masonry. This innovative mortar, developed to repair concrete structures, was implemented to explore the capacity of couplets to recover their original bond capacity and aesthetic aspect after multiple damaging events. Specimens built with calcium-silicate and clay bricks were subjected to subsequent cracking cycles using a crack-mouth-opening-displacement controlled bond-wrench test. Experimental results showed that self-repair, in terms of bond restoration and aesthetic filling of cracks, occurs even after multiple cracking cycles when the bio-based mortar is used with both types of bricks, optimizing the autogenous healing (intrinsic) of cement-based mortars. The effectiveness varied also according to the types of brick and healing environment used, e.g. under humid conditions (RH ~ 95%), 50% vs 80% of the original capacity was regained in fully separated couplets made respectively with clay and calcium-silicate bricks.

The impacts of technological progress and industrial structure distortion on water use intensity in China

Based on the employment and output data of China's three industries, this paper measures the industrial structure distortion index of each province in China from 2000 to 2020, and uses a spatial panel model to examine the impact of industrial structure distortion on water intensity. The results show that China's industrial structure distortion index decreases from 0.4046 in 2000 to 0.2042 in 2020, and the industrial structure distortion index is 0.1247 in the east, 0.2139 in the center, and 0.2767 in the west. The regression of the Spatial Durbin Model shows that the indirect effect and total effect of industrial structure distortion both significantly increase the water use intensity, and the influence coefficients are 0.1712 and 0.1822, respectively. For other variables, water resource endowment significantly increases water intensity in the region, with an effect coefficient of 0.0100, and its indirect and total effects are both significantly negative, at −0.0465 and −0.0366, respectively. Foreign trade significantly inhibits water intensity in the region, with a degree of inhibition of −0.0164, and its indirect and total effects are not significant; and increasing Foreign Direct Investment increases water intensity in other regions and in general. The coefficients are 1.3170 and 1.2477, respectively; research and development input has no significant effect on water intensity. Therefore, China should eliminate distortions in its industrial structure, break the urban-rural dichotomy in labor mobility, improve the efficiency of the application of innovative technologies, and enhance the awareness of water crisis and water conservation and protection of the whole society.
