A fracture mechanics based fatigue-creep-environment crack growth model for high temperature

This paper deals with the development of a fatigue crack growth model for high temperature complex loading and application to turbine disc conditions. The proposed model is based on an extensive experimental study performed on Astroloy at 650°C, which comprises fatigue with or without hold times, special tests with holds at intermediate loads, fast-slow or slow-fast triangular waves, sequence tests, etc.

The crack growth model is built up in the framework of classical linear elastic fracture mechanics. Its structure is quite simple and is supported by previously developed fatigue crack growth models and a companion study made at École des Mines de Paris (EMP) for the oxidation processes on Astrology.

Modelling and Simulation of a Direct Contact Rotary Dryer

A mathematical model able to predict solid and drying gas temperature and moisture content axial profiles along a direct contact rotary dryer was developed. The study was focused on the drying kinetics based on phenomenological models. Two different drying mechanisms in the decreasing drying rate period were tested: proponional to the unbound moisture content and moisture diffusion inside the particle. Experimental data collected in a pilot-scale direct contact rotary dryer was used to validate the model. Soya and fish meals were used as drying material.     

Analysis of MTF degradation in the imaging of cells in a flow system

The time-delay and integration method can be used with a charge-coupled device array to acquire images of cell in a flow cytometer. The loss of high spatial frequency components in images acquired with this technique is studied by deriving the modulation transfer function (MTF) for each of the main causes of image degradation: finite sampling aperture, nonsynchronism between image movement and charge transfer rate, discrete charge motion, transfer inefficiency, and axis misalignment. The system MTF and resolution in the horizontal and vertical directions are then examined.©1994 John Wiley & Sons Inc     

Nonlinear distortion prediction of active filters

The represention of circuit variables in frequency-domain complex matrix and nonlinearities by power series gives rise to a nonlinear distortion prediction technique, the intermodulation-balance method. This operates entirely in the frequency domain. The technique is verified by a single-amplifier filter with a two-tone input signal     

Linear predictive receivers for fading channels

The authors discuss maximum likelihood sequence detection (MLSD) based on prediction techniques for linearly modulated digital signals transmitted over fading channels. Efficient implementations of the sequence detector are investigated and a general formulation for computing the prediction coefficients is derived. Furthermore, the equivalence of different existing prediction-based receivers is shown     

IrLAP protocol performance analysis of IrDA wireless communications

The IRDA IrLAP protocol is analytically modelled. Throughput performance is examined with bit error rate, window size, and turnaround times. It is shown that for the proposed 16 Mbit/s and 127 frame maximum window size extension the link BER quality becomes critical if maximum throughput is to be achieved. A window size of 60 is less sensitive to bit error rate variations. Reducing the minimum turnaround time is always beneficial     

An analysis of distributed feedback structures in ion exchangedwaveguides

The performance of distributed feedback (DFB) structures fabricated on ion exchanged waveguides has been numerically analyzed. Waveguide exchange time, grating order, period, number of periods, grating shape, and grating depth have been included as variables for the analysis. The results are for K⁺-Na⁺-type systems exchanged at 385°C
