Transparent synthetic soils have been developed as a soil surrogate to enable internal visualization of geotechnical processes in physical models. Transparency of the soil dictates the overarching success of the technique; however, despite this fundamental requirement, no quantitative framework has yet been established to appraise the visual quality of transparent soil. Previous approaches to a...

In this paper, a new algorithm for system identification based on frequency response is presented. In this method, given a set of magnitudes and phases of the system transfer function in a set of discrete frequencies, a system of linear equations is derived which has a unique and exact solution for the coefficients of the transfer function provided that the data is noise-free and the degrees of...
