In this paper, a structural damage identification method (SDIM) is developed for plate-like structures. This method is derived using dynamic equation of undamaged/damaged plate, in which local change in flexural rigidity is characterized utilizing a damage distribution function. The SDIM requires to modal data in the intact state and frequency response of damage state where most of vibration ba...

We introduce a new five-parameter distribution called the beta exponentiated Gumbel (BEG) distribution that includes the beta Gumbel, exponentiated Gumbel and Gumbel distribution. Expressions for the distribution function, density function and rth moment of the new distribution and order statistics are obtained. We discuss estimation of the parameters by maximum liklelihood ...

Many scattering models have been presented in the graphics literature. Few of them, however, have been evaluated through comparisons with real measured data. As the demand for plausible and predictable scattering models increases, more attention is given to performing such comparisons. In this paper we examine the implementation of virtual goniphotometers used to obtain BRDF (bidirectional refl...

Existing bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) models are capable of capturing the distinctive highlights produced by the fibrous nature of wood. However, capturing parameter textures for even a single specimen remains a laborious process requiring specialized equipment. In this paper we take a procedural approach to generating parameters for the wood BSDF. We characterize the ...

abstract: this paper is the first study on the impact of ambient temperature on the electrical characteristics and high frequency performances of double gate armchair graphene nanoribbon field effect transistor (gnrfet). the results illustrate that the gnrfet under high temperature (ht-gnrfet) has the highest cut-off frequency, lowest sub-threshold swing, lowest intrinsic delay and power delay ...

The nonstationary and multicomponent nature of newborn EEG seizures tends to increase the complexity of the seizure detection problem. In dealing with this type of problems, time-frequency-based techniques were shown to outperform classical techniques. This paper presents a new time-frequency-based EEG seizure detection technique. The technique uses an estimate of the distribution function of t...

The physically-based flood frequency models use readily available rainfall data and catchment characteristics to derive the flood frequency distribution. In the present study, a new physically-based flood frequency distribution has been developed. This model uses bivariate exponential distribution for rainfall intensity and duration, and the Soil Conservation Service-Curve Number (SCS-CN) metho...

We show that a correct use of the Wigner Distribution (WD) for time-frequency signal analysis requires use of the analytic signal. This version, often referred to as the Wigner-Ville Distribution (WVD), is straightforward to compute, does not exhibit any aliasing problem, and introduces no frequency artifacts. The problems introduced by the use of the Wigner Distribution with a real signal are ...
