Systematic Strain-Step Distribution at Sagamino Base-Line

Adaptive Line Enhancement Using a Parallel IIR Filter with A Step-By-step Algorithm

 A step-by-step algorithm for enhancement of periodic signals that are highly corrupted by additive uncorrelated white gausian noise is proposed. In each adaptation step a new parallel second-order section is added to the previous filters. Every section has only one adjustable parameter, i.e., the center frequency of the self-tuning filter. The bandwidth and the convergence factor of each secti...

Case Base Properties: A First Step

In the context of case-based reasoning (CBR) methodology, better understanding of the conditions under which CBR systems are used has the potential to increase our understanding of how uncertainty affects the overall quality of these systems. Our ultimate goal is to determine what properties exist and how these properties may be used to improve the utility of a CBR system, as well as methods of...

A Solution to the Problem of Nonequilibrium Acid/Base Gas-Particle Transfer at Long Time Step

A stable numerical solution to the unsolved problem of nonequilibrium growth/evaporation at long time step of multiple dissociating acids (e.g., nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, carbonic acid, sulfuric acid, etc.) and a base (ammonia) is discussed. The solution eliminates most oscillatory behavior observed in previous solutions at long time step. The solution is applicable across the entire rela...

OPTIMAL DESIGN OF SHELLS WITH STEP-FUNCTION DISTRIBUTION OF THICKNESS

The paper is concerned with a methodology of optimal design of shells of minimum weight with strength, stability and strain constraints. Stress and strain state of the shell is determined by Galerkin method in the mixed finite element formulation within the geometrically nonlinear theory. The analysis of the effectiveness of different optimization algorithms to solve the set problem is given. T...
