The estimation of the tensile strength of certain brittle fibers at extremely short lengths from tensile strength measurements of these fibers at longer lengths is of fundamental importance in the theory of modern fiber composite materials. We examine a competing risks model in which the fiber strength arises as the minimum of two (independent) Weibull random variables having distinct Weibull e...

The Rondan Jacket Support Clamp and Jacket Transport Sled

The RONDAN jacket support clamp and jacket transport sled are inexpensive, relatively easily fabricated tools which have proved invaluable for the field collection of large vertebrate specimens. Although there are some complicating factors, both of these tools have been used with great success to safely collect and transport numerous Jurassic dinosaur bones.

Shield Braid Insulation Jacket Ferrule

Design and production of cables for aerospace systems provide the background for the development of concurrent engineering framework. Key issues include the development of an architecture that supports collaboration among engineers associated with diierent parts of the cable design process and the development of hierarchical representations that capture the diierent characteristics (e.g., conne...

Arbitrary-Length Walsh-Jacket Transforms

Due to the efficiency in implementation, the Walsh (Hadamard) transform plays an important role in signal analysis and communication. Recently, Lee generalized the Walsh transform into the Jacket transform. Since the entries of the Jacket transform can be ±2, it is more flexible than the Walsh transform. Both the Walsh transform and the Jacket transform are defined for the case where the length...
