In wireless networks, the physical medium is the cause of most of the errors and performance drops. Thus, an efficient predictive estimation of wireless networks performance w.r.t. medium status by the communication peers would be a leap ahead in the improvement of wireless communication. For that purpose, we designed a measurement bench that allows us to accurately control the noise level on a...

When a layer of material embedded in an infinite medium is subject to a comfiression parallel with the layer an instability tends to develofi which manifests itself in the folding of the layer. This phenomenon is examined here for the general case where the layer and the surrounding medium are both viscoelastic. This problem which was examined in preliminary form in an earlier publication [6]t ...
