Modal strain energy (MSE) method is a widely used approximation approach for parameter calculation of damped composite structures. In this paper, iterative MSE proposed to calculate the loss factor damping structure by considering frequency dependence modulus and viscoelastic materials. The applied free spline, plate constrain plate. results show that: obtains minimum relative errors less than ...

In this paper an approach to extract the Left Ventricle (LV) endocardium contour by proposing an improved Distribution Matching (DM) algorithm is presented, the main idea of which is to match the distribution of grayscale and distance constrained by gradient vector flow (GVF) force field between the sample and the images input. The endocardium contour is then regarded as the initial iterative c...

The force vector information is essential while collision avoidance planning through tactile feedback in autonomous or teleoperation mode. In this paper, we concentrate on the approach to calculation of the applied force vector at any point of the robot arm and its technical realization. Based on the presented force vector calculation flow, we obtained the experimental results validating the ab...

This work considers the new design of variational probabilistic method for code-divisionmultiple access CDMA system over unknown frequency-selective channels by decomposing of the observation data into a number of signal components. The author designs the virtual trellis model representing the ISI channel for each separating signal user. The design of virtual trellis is used to generate extrins...

In this paper, we give the complete characterization of the p–torsion subgroups of certain idèle–class groups associated to characteristic p function fields. As an application, we answer a question which arose in the context of Tan’s approach [Ta1] to an important particular case of a generalization of a conjecture of Gross [Gro] on special values of L–functions. 1. Notation and motivation Let ...

A new systematic iterative analytical procedure is presented to predict the dynamic response of composite sandwich plates subjected to low-velocity impact phenomenon with/without initial in-plane forces. In this method, the interaction between indenter and sandwich panel is modeled with considering the exponential equation similar to the Hertzian contact law and using the principle of minimum p...

We present the AMBER ff15ipq force field for proteins, the second-generation force field developed using the Implicitly Polarized Q (IPolQ) scheme for deriving implicitly polarized atomic charges in the presence of explicit solvent. The ff15ipq force field is a complete rederivation including more than 300 unique atomic charges, 900 unique torsion terms, 60 new angle parameters, and new atomic ...

succession planning is one the most important survival strategies for effective operation in today turbulent world. apart from the importance of this strategy, in any organization, a diverse set of facilitating and preventing factors emerge in successor planning process which create a challenging force field pro or con to it. in this research, while facilitating and preventing methods in execut...

A new, simple, high-speed, and hardware-only integration-based fluorescence-lifetime-sensing algorithm using a center-of-mass method (CMM) is proposed to implement lifetime calculations, and its signal-to-noise-ratio based on statistics theory is also deduced. Compared to the commonly used iterative least-squares method or the maximum-likelihood-estimation-based, general purpose fluorescence li...
