identification of damping parameter is usually more complicated and unreliable comparing to mass or stiffness identification in structural dynamics. there are many factors such as intermolecular friction, coulomb friction and viscous damping affecting the damping mechanisms in a structure. therefore it is difficult, and in some cases impossible, to describe the details of damping mechanisms by ...

The primary objective of this paper is to implement fingerprint recognition system using minimum resources for online application. Fingerprint recognition is done using minutiae extraction in time domain method and using Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) in frequency domain method. The fingerprint image was restricted to size of 256 x 256 pixels. The True Acceptance rate (TAR) has been increased ...

We introduce and analyze a frequency-domain method for par-abolic partial diierential equations. The method is naturally parallelizable. After taking the Fourier transformation of given sources in the space-time domain into the space-frequency domain, we propose to solve an indeenite, complex elliptic problem for each frequency. Fourier inversion will then recover the solution in the space-time...

a comparison of buckling analysis of the nanoplate and nanocomposite plate with central square hole embedded in winkler foundation is presented in this article. in order to enhance mechanical properties of nanoplate with central cut out, carbon nano tubes (cnts) are applied as uniform distribution (ud) through thickness direction. in order to define the shape function of plate with square cut o...

To date, a number of numerical methods, including the popular Finite-Difference Time Domain (FDTD) technique, have been proposed to simulate Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) responses. Despite having a number of advantages, the finite-difference method also has pitfalls such as being very time consuming in simulating the most common case of media with high dielectric permittivity, causing the for...

in this contribution, linearized dynamic model of cumulative mass fraction (cmf) of potassium nitrate-water seeded continues mixed suspension mixed product removal (cmsmpr) crystallizer is approximated by a simplified model in frequency domain. frequency domain model simplification is performed heuristically using the frequency response of the derived linearized models data. however, the cmf fr...

it has been revealed that the surface stress effect plays an important role in the mechanical behavior ofstructures (such as bending, buckling and vibration) when their dimensions are on the order ofnanometer. in addition, recent advances in nanotechnology have proposed several applications fornanoscale shells in different fields. hence, in the present article, within the framework of surfaceel...

a time-domain approach is presented to calculate electromagnetic fields inside a large electromagnetic pulse (emp) simulator. this type of emp simulator is used for studying the effect of electromagnetic pulses on electrical apparatus in various structures such as vehicles, a reoplanes, etc. the simulator consists of three planar transmission lines. to solve the problem, we first model the meta...
