Abstract: The two-dimensional continuous wavelet transform (2D CWT) has become an important tool to examine and diagnose nonstationary datasets on the plane. Compared with traditional spectral analysis methods, the 2D CWT provides ...

Abstract: AbstractThe utilization of high explosives in industrial applications entails significant safety and risk considerations. A clear understanding of explosive geometry and initiation conditions is essential, as these factors ...

Abstract: AbstractRegular inspection along the track of intrusive foreign objects (IFOs) such as soil cover net, plastic tarps, temporary dwelling, and lightweight hanging objects is essential to ensure the safety of railroad ...

Abstract: Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technologies combined with digital image processing have been applied to the crack inspection of bridge structures to overcome the drawbacks of manual visual inspection. However, because of ...

Abstract: A previously proposed planar axisymmetric dynamic vibration absorber (DVA), with embedded acoustic black hole (ABH) features, has been shown to suffer from the very selective coupling with the host structure, thus compromising ...

Abstract: AbstractRadial solute tracer tests are a key method for estimating aquifer parameters, yet their accuracy often is compromised by skin effects around the wellbore resulting from drilling or completion activities. A clear ...
