Temporal Evolution of Ripple-Field Characteristics: A Defect-Dynamic Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
To develop empirical bases for the numerical treatment, I have: 1) conducted fieldwork (described below) involving eolian bedforms, with Philippe Claudin, Bruno Andreotti, Olivier Pouliquen, and Rebecca Hoyle; 2) begun a collaboration involving separate observations of subaqueous ripple evolution and sorted-bedform changes with Giovanni Coco and Malcolm Green; and 3) begun a collaboration to measure eolian megaripple evolution in the field and lab (along with a collaborative modeling effort) with Haim Tsoar and Hezi Yizhaq.

Influences of temporal evolution of ground motion frequency content on developed dynamic ratcheting in SDOF systems
Dynamic Ratcheting (DR) is a nonlinear dynamic phenomenon occurring in hysteretic damping systems. It means the structural plastic deformation increases asymmetrically in successive cycles under an earthquake excitation. Although it is generally recognized that DR is closely related to the frequency contents of an earthquake excitation applied to thestructure, no targeted analysis has bee...
متن کاملNumerical investigation of dynamic brittle fracture via gradient damage models
Background: Gradient damage models can be acknowledged as a unified framework of dynamic brittle fracture. As a phase-field approach to fracture, they are gaining popularity over the last few years in the computational mechanics community. This paper concentrates on a better understanding of these models. We will highlight their properties during the initiation and propagation phases of defect ...
متن کاملSeafloor Ripple Measurements at the Martha’s Vineyard Coastal Observatory
The observations will be used to validate existing models and to develop new models for ripple geometry as a function of forcing hydrodynamics and seabed characteristics. The observations will also have a smaller focus on small scale sediment transport processes over ripples and larger scale wave field variability over spatially variable ripples. The small scale sediment transport process obser...
متن کاملA PRACTICAL APPROACH TO REAL-TIME DYNAMIC BACKGROUND GENERATION BASED ON A TEMPORAL MEDIAN FILTER
In many computer vision applications, segmenting and extraction of moving objects in video sequences is an essential task. Background subtraction, by which each input image is subtracted from the reference image, has often been used for this purpose. In this paper, we offer a novel background-subtraction technique for real-time dynamic background generation using color images that are taken fro...
متن کاملAnalysis of dynamic spectra in ferret primary auditory cortex. I. Characteristics of single-unit responses to moving ripple spectra.
1. Auditory stimuli referred to as moving ripples are used to characterize the responses of both single and multiple units in the ferret primary auditory cortex. Moving ripples are broadband complex sounds with a sinusoidal spectral profile that drift along the logarithmic frequency axis at a constant velocity. 2. Neuronal responses to moving ripples are locked to the phase of the ripple, i.e.,...
