Ambient vibration test is one of the most applicable and reliable methods among vibration tests due to recently fast evolvement of measurement, sensor technologies and data processing, and economical benefit as well. Modal identification methods of the ambient vibration structures are output-only identification techniques which have commonly been branched into either the frequency domain or the...

“ba:y?d” as a persian lexeme is interwoven with modality, a semantic category and therefore has a complicated and thought- provoking semantic nature. this paper uses evidence from persian to investigate the usage of this lexeme and some of its semantic and pragmatic aspects in this language. the results indicate that this lexical category can convey a wide range of modal meanings in different c...

FaCT is a Description Logic classifier which has been implemented as a test-bed for a highly optimised tableaux satisfiability (subsumption) testing algorithm. The correspondence between modal and description logics also allows FaCT to be used as a theorem prover for the propositional modal logics K, KT, K4 and S4. Empirical tests have demonstrated the effectiveness of the optimised implementat...

Shaker testing is commonly used as a method for measuring forced input in experimental modal analysis. The setup of conventional shakers, stingers and transducers is often the source of test difficulties and avoidable measurement errors. This paper reviews the basic design of shakers as beneficial to modal testing, and the common problems associated with setup issues and resulting measurement e...

Implicit memory is often thought to reflect an influence of past experience on perceptual processes, yet priming effects are found when the perceptual format of stimuli changes between study and test episodes. Such cross-modal priming effects have been hypothesized to depend upon stimulus recoding processes whereby a stimulus presented in one modality is converted to other perceptual formats. T...

The MOBIO database provides a challenging test-bed for speaker and face recognition systems because it includes voice and face samples as they would appear in forensic scenarios. In this paper, we investigate uni-modal and bimodal multi-algorithm fusion using logistic regression. The source speaker and face recognition systems were taken from the 2013 speaker and face recognition evaluations th...

Madal performance is the basic characteristics of structures, which will help to further understand vibration structures. Besides, fluid (e.g. water) coupled with structure strongly affact modal structure. To get clear performance, Modal tests are conducted for two-layered plate both in air and water, frequency mode shape given. With comparative analysis frequencies these two cases, it’s shown ...

In this paper, a computationally simple approach for damage localization and quantification in beam-like structures is proposed. This method is based on using modal flexibility curvature (MFC) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. Analytical studies in the literature have shown that changes in the modal flexibility curvature can be considered as a sensitive and suitable criterion for...

First, we show with two examples that in test semirings with an incomplete test algebra a domain operation may or may not exist. Second, we show that two notions of separability in test semirings coincide, respectively, with locality of composition and with extensionality of the diamond operators in domain semirings. We conclude with a brief comparison of dynamic algebras and modal Kleene algeb...
