The goal of this paper is to evaluate the strain-based partitioning method (SBM), an analytical based on beam analysis, for mixed-mode fracture characterization asymmetric cracks. energy calculated at crack tip bending (MMB) test with geometry and material parameters. obtained using SBM benchmarked against widely applied Williams’ (WM) numerical results from finite element models virtual closur...

We present a method for audio source separation and localization from binaural recordings. The method combines a new generative probabilistic model with time-frequency masking. We suggest that device-dependent relationships between point-source positions and interaural spectral cues may be learnt in order to constrain a mixture model. This allows to capture subtle separation and localization fe...
