Modal signals of transverse sensing of truncated conical shells with simply supported boundary condition at both ends are investigated. The embedded piezoelectric layer on the surface of conical shell is used as sensors and output voltages of them in considered modes are calculated. The Governing sensing signal displacement equations are derived based on the Kirchhoff theory, thin-shell assumpt...

most geologic changes have a seismic response but sometimes this is expressed only in certain spectral ranges hidden within the broadband data. spectral decomposition is one of the methods which can be utilized to help interpreting such cases. there are several time-frequency methods including: short-time fourier transform (stft), continuous wavelet transform (cwt), wigner-ville distribution (w...

This paper presets a method including a combination of the wavelet transform and fuzzy function approximation (FFA) for high impedance fault (HIF) detection in distribution electricity network. Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) has been used in this paper as a tool for signal analysis. With studying different types of mother signals, detail types and feeder signal, the best case is selected. The...

This paper proposes a new signal denoising methodology for dealing with asymmetrical noises. The adopted strategy is based on a regression model where the noise is supposed to be additive and distributed following a mixture of Gaussian densities. The parameters estimation is performed using a Generalized EM (GEM) algorithm. Experimental studies on simulated and real signals in the context of a ...

measurement of magnitude and frequency of the voltage flicker is very important for monitoring andcontrolling voltage flicker efficiently to improve the network power quality. this paper presents twonew methods for measurement of flicker signal parameters using shuffled frog leaping algorithm(sfla) and imperialist competitive algorithm (ica). this paper estimates fundamental voltage andflicker ...

Three antituberculosis medications are investigated in this work consist of rifampicin, isoniazid and pyrazinamide. The ultra violet (UV) spectra of these compounds are overlapped, thus use of suitable chemometric methods are helpful for simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of them. A generalized version of net analyte signal standard addition method (GNASSAM) was used for determinatio...

in this paper, the detector of moving target in mimo radar with widely separated antenna in the presence of α-stable clutter is proposed. due to the complexity of unknown parameter estimation in the presence of target, the rao test is applied. the α-stable model is a general model that can applied to different environments with appropriate selection of parameters. the problem with this model is...

Searching for evidence of neutrino oscillations is an important problem in particle physics. Suppose that evidence for neutrino oscillations from an LSND experiment reports a significant positive oscillation probability, but that the LSND result is not confirmed by other experiments. In statistics, such a problem can be proposed as the detection of signal events in the Poisson signal plus backg...

the mixed-signal circuits with both analog and digital blocks on a single chip have wide applications in communication and rf circuits. integrating these two blocks can cause serious problems especially in applications requiring fast digital circuits and high performance analog blocks. fast switching in digital blocks generates a noise which can be introduced to analog circuits by the common su...

in this paper, we deal with the problem of adaptive coherent signal detection in gaussian interference (clutter plus noise) for surveillance pulse radars. some of the adaptive radar detectors exploit the ar model for clutter. most of these detectors have been obtained using the glr test. this test relies on the maximum likelihood estimation whose accuracy depends on the number of data. whereas,...
