Structural system identification of pedestrian bridges by observability method

open access: yes, 2017
The condition assessment of pedestrian bridges might be overlooked due to the small scale of these structures. A short list of accidents is provided to justify the necessity of condition assessment on pedestrian bridges.

Optimal Configuration Method of Primary and Secondary Integrated Intelligent Switches in the Active Distribution Network Considering Comprehensive Fault Observability

open access: yesEnergies
As the demand for power supply stability and reliability in the active distribution network (ADN) increases, the primary and secondary integrated intelligent switch (PSIIS) has become the primary choice for smart grid transformation in many weak ...

Optimal placement of mobile sensors for data assimilations [PDF]

open access: yesTellus: Series A, Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 2012
We explore the theoretical framework as well as the associated algorithms for the problem of optimally placing mobile observation platforms to maximise the improvement of estimation accuracy.

Pyramidal Structures on Yttria‐Stabilized Zirconia after High Temperature Exposure at 1500°C: New Features on an Old Material

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
New features on yttria‐stabilized zirconia after exposure at 1500°C: Newly discovered pyramidal structures on an old material. After exposure at 1550°C on the cross section of YSZ new features, namely pyramidal structures are discovered. These structures grow with time, increase in numbers, appear as singularities, are often arranged in strings, and ...

Performance Analysis of Abradable Coating Systems for Aircraft Gas Turbines

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Three CoNiCrAlY/YSZ/MgAl2O4 abradable liner configurations on a nickel‐superalloy are evaluated by thermal‐gradient cycling and incursion tests. Laser ablation of the bondcoat and/or Y2O3‐stabilized ZrO2 (YSZ) intermediate layer increases mechanical interlocking and bonding for thick topcoats.

Finite-time observability of probabilistic Boolean multiplex control networks [PDF]

open access: yes
summary:This paper investigates the finite-time observability of probabilistic Boolean multiplex control networks (PBMCNs). Firstly, the finite-time observability of the PBMCNs is converted into the set reachability issue according to the parallel ...

Observability conditions by polynomial ideals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In this paper, we give global and local observability conditions of polynomial systems. Each observability is defined in terms of distinguishability of a pair of initial states. The set of pairs of initial states are represented as an affine variety.

Robust Spot Melting by 3D Spot Arrangements in Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This work proposes an approach to replace separately melted contours for spot melting in electron beam powder fusion. Adapting the spot arrangements close to the contour combined with stacking yields a comparable surface quality without the inherent challenges of separate contours, as demonstrated, by electron optical images and roughness measurements.

Observability inequality for the spatial discretization of weakly coupled 2d-wave equations

open access: yesDemonstratio Mathematica
This study addresses the problem of indirect boundary observability for a spatial semi-discretization of weakly coupled two-dimensional wave equations. The discretization is performed using a finite difference method on a uniform mesh. More specifically,

Hydrogen‐Assisted Fracture of Iron‐Based Fe–Ni–Al Alloys

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Principal relations and fracture mechanisms of single‐phase and precipitate‐strengthened Fe–Ni–Al alloys subjected to prior electrochemical hydrogen charging are identified. The mechanisms of hydrogen effect on strength and microhardness are discussed, including hydrogen‐induced increase in microhardness and the role of hydrogen in fracture behavior ...
