This paper proposes an intelligent approach for dynamic identification of the vehicles. The proposed approach is based on the data-driven identification and uses a high-performance local model network (LMN) for estimation of the vehicle’s longitudinal velocity, lateral acceleration and yaw rate. The proposed LMN requires no pre-defined standard vehicle model and uses measurement data to identif...

− In this paper a cost-effective method for measuring transportation velocity and the velocity profile of a material flow of powdery solids inside a pipe is presented. For the measurement, artificial perturbations are brought into the mass flow and the effects of these perturbations are acquired and correlated at measurement sections. The velocity profile is calculated with the knowledge of the...

Velocity dispersion and attenuation in rocks are coupled properties that depend on the pore fluids and fluid flow. Attenuation shows a peak at high partial gas saturation. The amplitude of this peak increases with frequency. With full saturation, velocities rise but dispersion remains approximately constant. A substantial frequency shift occurs with decreasing permeability or fluid mobility. Th...

Muzzle velocity is the initial velocity of a projectile as it comes out. A novel measurement method which can measure velocity of projectile by measuring its travel time. It mainly contains the laser sources and laser detectors those are employed to measure the muzzle velocity, when it comes out of a system. Light sources and detectors are placed in opposite side. During system launch, the lase...

The main drawback of this method is that for typical path lengths possible in a crowded laboratory, very high frequencies are required to produce measurable phase shifts. This requires the use of specialized and expensive oscilloscopes to display the waveforms. The system used here, however, uses a mixing technique which allows the phase shift between high frequency signals to be observed on a ...

Abstract The transfer function of a piezoelectric transducer, buffer rod and sample assembly is used to measure the sound velocity of solid materials. From the recorded transfer function, pulse echo patterns at frequencies of the passband of the input signal are reproduced after convoluting with monochromatic RF input signals. The time delay is obtained by performing pulse echo overlap and phas...

The great incidence of cardiovascular (CV) diseases in the world spurs the search for new solutions to enable an early detection of pathological processes and provides more precise diagnosis based in multi-parameters assessment. The pulse wave velocity (PWV) is considered one of the most important clinical parameters for evaluate the CV risk, vascular adaptation, and therapeutic efficacy. Sever...

The use of state of art instrumentation systems to measure high-speed events has increased tremendously in the past few decades. The current study aimed at measuring the velocity of small caliber projectiles within the desired limits of accuracy. The velocity of the projectile is calculated by dividing the distance between two downrange measurement locations, by the difference of the time when ...
