The present research is an experimental and numerical investigation on parametric study of vibration and buckling characteristics of industry driven woven fiber Glass-Carbon/epoxy hybrid composite panels. The effects of lamination sequence on the natural frequencies of vibration and buckling strength of the hybrid panels were studied in this investigation. The panels are cast using hand lay-up ...

Previously we reported that acetylcholine (ACh) and acetyl-beta-methacholine (MCh) modify responses of neurons in auditory cortex to individual frequencies. The purpose of this study was to determine whether muscarinic agonists produce frequency-specific alterations or general changes in cellular responses. Frequency-specific modifications would be evident in alterations of frequency receptive ...

Deep Learning is considered to be a quite young in the area of machine learning research, found its effectiveness in dealing complex yet high dimensional dataset that includes but limited to: images, text and speech etc. with multiple levels of representation and abstraction. As there are plethora of research on these datasets by various researchers , a win over them needs a lots of attention. ...

OBJECTIVE Determine the prevalence of metabolic abnormalities (MA) and estimate the 10-year risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) among Latin American HIV-infected patients receiving highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART). METHODS A cohort study to evaluate MA and treatment practices to reduce CVD has been conducted in seven Latin American countries. Adult HIV-infected patients with at...

This paper presents an expert spindle design system strategy which is based on the efficient utilization of past design experience, the laws of machine design, dynamics and metal cutting mechanics. The configuration of the spindle is decided from the specifications of the workpiece material, desired cutting conditions, and most common tools used on the machine tool. The spindle drive mechanism,...

In order to measure the nonlinear features of micromechanical resonators, a free damped oscillation method based on stair-stepped frequency sinusoidal pulse excitation is investigated. In the vicinity of the resonant frequency, a frequency stepping sinusoidal pulse sequence is employed as the excitation signal. A set of free vibration response signals, containing different degrees of nonlinear ...

The effects of blade mistuning have been studied extensively in the past although most of the research efforts have been directed towards understanding its qualitative aspects. Addressing the quantitative aspects of the mistuning problem, especially for industrial designs, has been somewhat limited in the past, mainly due to the need for using reduced-order and thus simplified models in such an...

Let K be a complete discrete valuation field with finite residue field F of order q. We call such a field a local field. The geometric Frobenius FrF is the inverse of the map a → a in the absolute Galois group GF = Gal(F̄ /F ). The Weil group WK is defined as the inverse image of the subgroup 〈FrF 〉 ⊂ GF by the canonical map GK = Gal(K̄/K) → GF . For an element σ ∈ WK , let n(σ) denote the intege...

A method based on frequency domain approaches is presented for the non-linear parameter identification of a structure having non-linear joints. The frequency response function (FRF) of the linear substructure, which can be calculated from the finite element method or measured by an experimental method, is used to calculate its FRFs needed in the parameter identification process. This method is ...

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...
