Field Verification of Smoothness Requirements for Weigh-in-Motion Approaches

Field Verification of Smoothness Requirements for weigh-in-Motion approaches

The smoothness of the pavement surface approaching a Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) scale directly affects the device’s ability to accurately estimate static loads from measured dynamic forces. Lack of smoothness creates difficulties in obtaining an acceptable weighing error. Efforts were made in this study to determine appropriate threshold values of profile length and roughness approaching the WIM. Ro...

On spatial adaptation of motion-field smoothness in video coding

Most motion compensation methods dealt with in the literature make strong assumptions about the smoothness of the underlying motion field. For instance, block-matching algorithms assume a blockwiseconstant motion field and are adequate for translational motion models; control grid interpolation assumes a block-wise bilinear motion field, and captures zooming and warping fairly well. Time-varyin...

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

A Strong Ground Motion Catalogue of Selected Records for Shallow Crustal, Near Field Earthquakes in Iran

Understanding strong ground motions in the near-fault areas is important for seismic risk assessment in densely populated areas. In the past, lack of information on strong ground motion for large and moderate earthquakes led to the use of mainly far field large and moderate earthquake records in equations for calculation of the strong ground motion parameters. In this article, we collected and ...
