Abstract: The study of elastic wave scattering is crucial for nondestructive testing, quality assurance, and failure prevention of quasicrystal (QC) structures. In the present paper, the dynamic behavior of an interface crack in ...

Abstract: Data fusion is an important issue as multi-source observation technology is widely used in geoscience. Although the problem of robust estimation exists widely in the data fusion, few solutions have been reported. This paper ...

Abstract: This article presents a practical multivariate linear-based model for modeling and separation of thermal effects from the cable-stayed bridge response. First, the discrete typical thermal loadings, which are the variables ...
