Understanding the mechanical response of thermo-recoverable elastomers to applied deformation at different strain rates and temperatures is crucial for more effective exploitation these reusable materials in industrial applications. The research presented this paper aims understand thermal responses a healable, elastomeric supramolecular polyurethane, examining morphology, rheology from low hig...

Due to the integration of modern technology such as electric vehicles, the emphasis is expected to shift from mechanical to electric power. Therefore, the need of increasing the power transmission capacity of the electric grid gets highlighted. Since, the construction of transmission lines is a tedious task owing to legalities, environmental impacts and high costs, the series compensated transm...

The paper presents a multiaspect analysis of multivalues and the broadband nature system oscillation. By analyzing ambient signal caused by random small disturbances during normal operation interconnected power grids, many characteristics can be obtained. traditional processing method cannot extract information from signals effectively. Aiming at problem oscillation mode superposition difficult...

In this paper, we propose a new combined harmonic-wavelet representation for audio where a harmonic analysis-synthesis scheme is used, rst, to approximate each audio frame as a sum of several sinusoids. Then, the di erence between the original signal and the reconstructed harmonic signal is analyzed using a wavelet ltering scheme. After each step (harmonic analysis & wavelet ltering), parameter...

Power quality (PQ) disturbances are becoming an important issue in smart grids (SGs) due to the significant economic consequences that they can generate on sensible loads. However, SGs include several distributed energy resources (DERs) that can be interconnected to the grid with static converters, which lead to a reduction of the PQ levels. Among DERs, wind turbines and photovoltaic systems ar...

This paper presents a novel and practical procedure for estimating the mean deck height to assist in automatic landing operations of a Rotorcraft Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (RUAV) in harsh sea environments. A modified Prony Analysis (PA) procedure is outlined to deal with real-time observations of deck displacement, which involves developing an appropriate dynamic model to approach real deck motio...

This article presents an evaluation of Prony method estimation and its implementation considerations for surge comparison test application in turn insulation diagnostics three-phase stator windings. Surge testing compares recorded voltage signals motor winding, a diagnostic is then defined with value EAR (error area ratio), which evaluates the difference between to determine diagnostic. First, ...

Three auto-regressive spectral estimation methods are experimentally tested with a view to musical applications: the Maximum Entropy method, Marple’s MODCOVAR algorithm, and an efficient version of Prony spectral line estimation due to Cybenko. A performance analysis measuring the maximum relative error of their frequency estimates for a signal consisting of three sinusoids under variations of ...

In this paper we propose the use of the least-squares based methods for obtaining digital rational approximations (IIR filters) to fractional-order integrators and differentiators of type sa, a 2 R. Adoption of the Padé, Prony and Shanks techniques is suggested. These techniques are usually applied in the signal modeling of deterministic signals. These methods yield suboptimal solutions to the ...
