This paper focuses on the load transfer improvement caused by nanofibers (NF) in carbon fiber reinforced composites. Load transfer is defined as the ability to transfer the mechanical loading between two adjacent fibers through the surrounding matrix. NF action is explored with a finite element model representing two carbon fibers separated by a layer of a NF reinforced matrix. It appears that ...

The RGB signals generated by different cameras are not equal for the same scene. Therefore, cameras are characterized based on a CIE standard colorimetric observer. One method of deriving a colorimetric characterization matrix between camera RGB output signals and CIE XYZ tristimulus values is least squares polynomial modeling. Yet, this involves tedious experiments to obtain a camera transfer ...

The eigenvalues of the Corner Transfer Matrix Hamiltonian associated to the el-liptic R matrix of the eight vertex free fermion model are computed in the anisotropic case for magnetic field smaller than the critical value. An argument based on generating functions is given, and the results are checked numerically. The spectrum consists of equally spaced levels.

We consider integrable boundary conditions for both discrete and continuum classical integrable models. Local integrals of motion generated by the corresponding “transfer” matrices give rise to time evolution equations for the initial Lax operator. We systematically identify the modified Lax pairs for both discrete and continuum boundary integrable models, depending on the classical r-matrix an...

This note establishes a result linking algebraically coprime factorizations of transfer matrices of delay systems to approximately coprime factorizations in the sense of distributions. The latter have been employed by the second author in the study of function-space controllability for such systems.

A multivariable model reference adaptive control system (MRACS) design method for a plant with m inputs and p outputs is proposed (m # p). Using an interactor matrix the coprime factorization of the plant for (1) m > p case, and (2) m < p case is derived. Further, using this coprime factorization the structure of MRACS is established.

We derive the off-shell scattering matrix for a spherical scatterer. The result obtained generalizes the off-on-shell matrix commonly used in the theory of scalar waves propagation in random media.

We find all the diagonal K-matrices for the R-matrix associated with the minimal representation of the exceptional affine algebra G (1) 2. The corresponding transfer matrices are diagonalized with a variation of the analytic Bethe ansatz. We find many similarities with the case of the Izergin-Korepin R-matrix associated with the affine algebra A (2) 2 .
