Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: The performance degradation and failures of high-speed train bogie components directly threaten the operation security of train.

Noise injection for time domain signal is used to enhance noise robustness and generalization of the model. Signal time-frequency representation information is obtained through embedded time-frequency transformation layer. Adaptive weight-based fusion is implemented through intrinsic characteristics of the convolutional neural network to handle the multi-domain multi-channel information. The experimental results show that the proposed method improves …

Phonon Order And Reststrahlen Bands Of Polar Vibrations In Crystals With Monoclinic Symmetry, Mathias Schubert, Alyssa Mock, Rafal Korlacki, Vanya Darakchieva

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering: Faculty Publications

In this Rapid Communication, we present the order of the phonon modes and the appearance of the reststrahlen bands for monoclinic symmetry materials with polar lattice vibrations. Phonon modes occur in associated pairs of transverse and longitudinal optical modes, and pairs either belong to inner or outer phonon modes. Inner modes are nested within outer modes. Outer modes cause polarization-dependent reststrahlen bands. Inner modes cause polarization-independent reststrahlen bands. The directional limiting frequencies within the Born-Huang approach are bound to within outer mode frequency regions not occupied by inner mode pairs. Hence, an unusual phonon mode order can occur where both …
