Pedestrian detection is a canonical problem for safety and security applications, it remains challenging due to the highly variable lighting conditions in which pedestrians must be detected. This article investigates several domain adaptation approaches adapt RGB-trained detectors thermal domain. Building on our earlier work privacy-preserving pedestrian detection, we conducted an extensive exp...

Composite laminates are prone to delamination. Implementation of delamination in the Carrera Unified Formulation frame work using nine noded quadrilateral MITC9 element is discussed in this article. MITC9 element is devoid of shear locking and membrane locking. Delaminated as well as healthy structure is analysed for free mode vibration. The results from the present work are compared with the a...

In this paper a numerical model to study the vibro-acoustic behavior of a laminated plate backed by a poroelastic foam layer is developed. Such approach consists on a coupled mitigation strategy aiming either mechanical vibration suppression or acoustic attenuation as well. The laminated plate model consists of fiber laminae with interleaved viscoelastic layers in standard constrained or integr...

The derivation of some class generalized mechanical models relies on a specific stress expansion without any priori assumption the corresponding kinematics. In such situations, their extension to dynamic setting is not easy, especially when deriving inertias since kinematics unknown. This paper shows how consistent can be obtained through use complementary energy principle in elastodynamics. me...
