Research on Scattering Feature Extraction of Underwater Moving Cluster Targets Based on the Highlight Model [PDF]
Archives of Acoustics, 2023 In detecting cluster targets in ports or near-shore waters, the echo amplitude is seriously disturbed by interface reverberation, which leads to the distortion of the traditional target intensity characteristics, and the appearance of multiple targets in

Dynamical properties of the growing continuum using multiple-scale method [PDF]
Applied and Computational Mechanics, 2008 The theory of growth and remodeling is applied to the 1D continuum. This can be mentioned e.g. as a model of the muscle fibre or piezo-electric stack. Hyperelastic material described by free energy potential suggested by Fung is used whereas the change ...

Nonlinear Vibration Analysis of a Beam with a Breathing Crack
Applied Sciences, 2019 The phenomena of sub- and super-harmonic responses make up one of the prominent nonlinear characteristics of a beam with a breathing crack. In order to fully understand the behaviors of sub- and super-harmonic resonances, it is necessary to analyze the ...

A note on the method of multiple scales [PDF]
Quarterly of Applied Mathematics, 1980 A modification of the method of multiple scales makes use of the expansion of parameters of the system in order to remove undesirable characteristics of the solution obtained by the usual multiple-scale method. When applied to the damped harmonic oscillator, the modification leads to the exact solution.
