Most of Wireless Sensor Networks researches focus on reducing the amount of energy consumed by nodes and network to increase the network lifetime. Thus, several papers have been presented and published to optimize energy consumption in each area of WSNs, such as routing, localization, coverage, security, etc. To test and evaluate their propositions, authors apply an energy dissipation model; this model must be more realistic and suitable to give good results. In this paper we present a general preview on different sources of energy consumption in wireless sensor networks, and provide a comparative study between two energy models used in WSN<em>s</em> that offer an effective and an adequate tool for researchers.

In this paper, a symmetrically coated damping structure for entangled metallic wire materials (EMWM) of pipelines was designed to reduce the vibration of high temperature (300 °C) pipeline. A series of energy dissipation tests were carried out on the symmetrically coated damping structure at 20–300 °C. Based on the energy dissipation test results, the hysteresis loop was drawn. The effects of temperature, vibration amplitude, frequency, and density of EMWM on the energy dissipation characteristics of coated damping structures were investigated. A nonlinear energy dissipation model of the symmetrically coated damping structure with temperature parameters was established through the accurate decomposition of the hysteresis loop. The parameters of the nonlinear model were identified by the least square method. The energy dissipation test results show that the symmetrically coated damping structure for EMWM of pipelines had excellent and stable damping properties, and the established model could well describe the changing law of the restoring force and displacement of the symmetrically coated damping structure with amplitude, frequency, density, and ambient temperature. It is possible to reduce the vibration of pipelines in a wider temperature range by replacing different metal wires.

This article addresses the challenges of routing hole and network partitioning often experienced in hierarchical wireless sensor networks (WSNs). This developed model classifies network nodes into sets for effective energy management and formulates two cluster networks namely: switching and non-switching networks. Both networks are considered homogeneous and static WSNs and adopted approaches of residual energy, multi-hop and minimal distance as routing decision parameters. The switching network in addition introduces an energy switching factor as a major decision parameter for the switching of cluster head roles amongst cluster nodes. Network simulation was done using Truetime 2.0 and energy dissipation of the respective nodes and cluster heads was observed against a threshold. Results showed the introduction of the energy switching factor gave a significant energy balancing effect as nodes exhibited uniform energy dissipation. Furthermore, the residual energies for most nodes were above the threshold eliminating the possibility of the presence of routing hole and network partitioning.

Abstract Bolted joints are widely used in mechanical construction due to their ease of disassembly. When the bolting member is subjected to the alternating load, the pretightening force is gradually reduced, which may cause the interface contact performance to decrease, and the surface may be microslipped. Preload relaxation of threaded fasteners is the main factor that influences the joint failure under normal cyclic loading, but it is difficult to monitor the energy dissipation between the interface of the bolted joint. This paper presents an energy dissipation model for the bolted joint based on two-degree-of-freedom vibration differential mathematical model. The parameters of the model is calculated by using the fractal theory and differential operator method. The efficiency of the proposed model is verified by experiments. The results show that the experimental modal shape agrees well with the theoretical modal shape. According to the change of cyclic load and vibration frequency, the vibration response and the law of energy dissipation under different factors can be obtained. The results show that the vibration frequency and cyclic load are the main factors affecting the energy dissipation between interfaces. The energy dissipation of the contact surface of the bolted joints account for the main part of the energy dissipation of the bolted structure. The results provide a theoretical basis for reducing the looseness of the bolt connection and ensuring the reliability of the equipment.
