Analytical and experimental investigation on dynamic properties of extra lightweight concrete sandwich beams reinforced with various lay ups of carbon reinforced epoxy polymer composites (CFRP) are discussed. The lightweight concrete used in the core of the sandwich beams was made up of extra lightweight aggregate, Lica. The density of concrete was half of that of the ordinary concrete and its compressive strength was about $100Kg/cm^2$. Two extra lightweight unreinforced (control) beams and six extra lightweight sandwich beams with various lay ups of CFRP were clamped in one end and tested under an impact load. The dimension of the beams without considering any reinforcement was 20 cm ${\times}$ 10 cm ${\times}$ 1.4 m. These were selected to ensure that the effect of shear during the bending test would be minimized. Three other beams, made up of ordinary concrete reinforced with steel bars, were tested in the same conditions. For measuring the damping capacity of sandwich beams three methods, Logarithmic Decrement Analysis (LDA), Hilbert Transform Analysis (HTA) and Moving Block Analysis (MBA) were applied. The first two methods are in time domain and the last one is in frequency domain. A comparison between the damping capacity of the beams obtained from all three methods, shows that the damping capacity of the extra lightweight concrete decreases by adding the composite reinforced layers to the upper and lower sides of the beams, and becomes most similar to the damping of the ordinary beams. Also the results show that the stiffness of the extra lightweight concrete beams increases by adding the composite reinforced layer to their both sides and become similar to the ordinary beams.

With the advances in wireless communication technology and the advent of smartphones, research on location-based services (LBSs) is being actively carried out. In particular, several spatial index methods have been proposed to provide efficient LBSs. However, finding an optimal indexing method that balances query performance and index size remains a challenge in the case of wireless environments that have limited channel bandwidths and device resources (computational power, memory, and battery power). Thus, mechanisms that make existing spatial indexing techniques more efficient and highly applicable in resource-limited environments should be studied. Bitmap-based Spatial Indexing (BSI) has been designed to support LBSs, especially in wireless broadcast environments. However, the access latency in BSI is extremely large because of the large size of the bitmap, and this may lead to increases in the search time. In this paper, we introduce a Selective Bitmap-based Spatial Indexing (SBSI) technique. Then, we propose an Adaptive Bitmap-based Spatial Indexing (ABSI) to improve the tuning time in the proposed SBSI scheme. The ABSI is applied to the distribution of geographical objects in a grid by using the Hilbert curve (HC). With the information in the ABSI, grid cells that have no objects placed, (i.e., 0-bit information in the spatial bitmap index) are not tuned during a search. This leads to an improvement in the tuning time on the client side. We have carried out a performance evaluation and demonstrated that our SBSI and ABSI techniques outperform the existing bitmap-based DSI (B DSI) technique.

동적 광단층 탄성영상법은 광 결맞음 단층촬영법을 기반으로 하여 위상차에 의해 조직의 기계적 성질 중 하나인 탄성도를 측정하기 위한 기법이다. 광 결맞음 단층촬영법은 마이켈슨 간섭계를 기반으로 한 비침습적 고해상도 단면 촬영기법이다. 본 논문에서는 광단층 탄성영상법을 생체 조직에 적용하기 전에 실행가능성을 판단하고자 강도를 쉽게 구분할 수 있는 지우개, 스펀지, 샤프심으로 샘플을 제작하여 실험을 진행하였다. 샘플에 사인파의 일정한 진동자극을 가하기 위해 압전액추에이터를 샘플의 아래쪽에 위치시켰으며 위쪽에서 광 결맞음 단층촬영법으로 스캔하였다. 깊이마다 횡방향에 대한 변형속도를 힐버트 변환하여 포락선을 검출한 후 포락선의 높낮이를 색깔로 표현하여 이미지 상에서 샘플 내의 상대적인 강도를 비교할 수 있었다. 또한, 샘플단과 참조단 사이의 간섭을 이용하는 것보다 샘플단 내의 자기간섭을 이용할 경우 변형속도 계산에 있어 장점이 있음을 제시하였다.

본 논문에서는 시간-주파수 동시 해석 기법 중 하나인 수정된 HHT 기법을 이용하여 회전하는 프로펠러의 날개에서 산란되는 마이크로 도플러 신호를 분석하였다. 프로펠러의 날개 모서리에 산란되는 산란파는 등가전류법(ECM)을 이용하여 구했다. 산란파의 시간 데이터를 얻은 후, 수정된 HHT 기법을 마이크로 도플러 신호의 해석에 적용하였다. 해석 결과는 실제 날개의 동특성에 잘 부합하였으며, 회전체로부터 발생하는 마이크로 도플러의 정편파적인 특성을 보였다. 수정된 HHT를 이용한 시간-주파수 동시 해석은 작은 레이더 단면적 값을 갖는 소형 비행체를 식별하기 위한 명확한 특성을 제공하였다.

In order to protect a structure over its full life cycle, a novel tuned mass damper (TMD), the so-called semi-active eddy current pendulum tuned mass damper (SAEC-PTMD), which can retune its frequency and damping ratio in real-time, is proposed in this study. The structural instantaneous frequency is identified through a Hilbert-Huang transformation (HHT), and the SAEC-PTMD pendulum is adjusted through an HHT-based control algorithm. The eddy current damping parameters are discussed, and the relationship between effective damping coefficients and air gaps is fitted through a polynomial function. The semi-active eddy current damping can be adjusted in real-time by adjusting the air gap based on the linear-quadratic-Gaussian (LQG)-based control algorithm. To verify the vibration control effect of the SAEC-PTMD, an idealized linear primary structure equipped with an SAEC-PTMD excited by harmonic excitations and near-fault pulse-like earthquake excitations is proposed as one of the two case studies. Under strong earthquakes, structures may go into the nonlinear state, while the Bouc-Wen model has a wild application in simulating the hysteretic characteristic. Therefore, in the other case study, a nonlinear primary structure based on the Bouc-Wen model is proposed. An optimal passive TMD is used for comparison and the detuning effect, which results from the cumulative damage to primary structures, is considered. The maximum and root-mean-square (RMS) values of structural acceleration and displacement time history response, structural acceleration, and displacement response spectra are used as evaluation indices. Power analyses for one earthquake excitation are presented as an example to further study the energy dissipation effect of an SAECPTMD. The results indicate that an SAEC-PTMD performs better than an optimized passive TMD, both before and after damage occurs to the primary structure.

New decoding algorithm of double-error-correction Reed-Solmon codes over GF(2$^{8}$) for optical compact disks is proposed and decoding algorithm of RS codes with triple-error-correcting capability is presented in this paper. First of all. efficient algorithms for estimating the number of errors in the received code words are presented. The most complex circuits in the RS decoder are parts for soving the error-location numbers from error-location polynomial, so the complexity of those circuits has a great influence on overall decoder complexity. One of the most known algorithm for searching the error-location number is Chien's method, in which all the elements of GF(2$^{m}$) are substituted into the error-location polynomial and the error-location number can be found as the elements satisfying the error-location polynomial. But Chien's scheme needs another 1 frame delay in the decoder, which reduces decoding speed as well as require more stroage circuits for the received ocode symbols. The ther is Polkinghorn method, in which the roots can be resolved directly by solving the error-location polynomial. Bur this method needs additional ROM (readonly memory) for storing tthe roots of the all possible coefficients of error-location polynomial or much more complex cicuit. Simple, efficient, and high speed method for solving the error-location number and decoding algorithm of double-error correction RS codes which reudce considerably the complexity of decoder are proposed by using Hilbert theorems in this paper. And the performance of the proposed decoding algorithm is compared with that of conventional decoding algorithms. As a result of comparison, the proposed decoding algorithm is superior to the conventional decoding algorithm with respect to decoding delay and decoder complexity. And decoding algorithm of RS codes with triple-error-correcting capability is presented, which is suitable for error-correction in digital audio tape, also.

This paper focuses on monitoring and predicting the short circuit faults of the rotor windings of large turbo-generator systems. For the purpose of increasing efficiency and decreasing maintenance cost, a method that combines the HHT (Hilbert Huang Transform) with a wavelet has been studied. This method is based on analyzing a classical Albright detecting coil. Due to the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) and the Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMF) of the HHT the exact location of a short circuit of rotor windings may be given. However, a part of the useful information is eliminated by the unreasonable decomposing scale of the wavelet. Based on the thermodynamics modeling method, this study was illustrated with a 50MW turbo-generator system that is installed in Northern China. The analysis results, which have very good agreement with those of a previous study, show that the method of combining the HHT with a wavelet is an effective way to analyze and predict the short circuit faults of the rotor windings of large generators, such as supercritical turbo-generator systems and wind turbo-generator systems. This work can offer a useful reference for analyzing smart grids by improving the power quality of a distribution network that is supplied by a turbo-generator system.

Reversible data hiding in encrypted images (RDHEI) provides some real-time cloud applications; i.e. the cloud, acting as a data-hider, automatically embeds timestamp in the encrypted image uploaded by a content owner. Many existing methods of RDHEI only satisfy user privacy in which the data-hider does not know the original image, but leaks owner privacy in which the receiver can obtains the original image by decryption and extraction. In the literature, the method of Zhang et al. is the one providing weak content-owner privacy in which the content-owner and data-hider have to share a data-hiding key. In this paper, we take care of the stronger notion, called strong content-owner privacy, and achieve it by presenting a new reversible data hiding in encrypted images. In the proposed method, image decryption and message extraction are separately controlled by different types of keys, and thus such functionalities are decoupled to solve the privacy problem. At the technique level, the original image is segmented along a Hilbert filling curve. To keep image privacy, segments are transformed into an encrypted image by using random permutation. The encrypted image does not reveal significant information about the original one. Data embedment can be realized by using pixel histogram-style hiding, since this property, can be preserved before or after encryption. The proposed method is a modular method to compile some specific reversible data hiding to those in encrypted image with content owner privacy. Finally, our experimental results show that the image quality is 50.85dB when the averaged payload is 0.12bpp.

The dynamic structural responses are sensitive to the time-frequency content of seismic waves, and seismic input motions in time-history analysis are usually required to be compatible with design response spectra according to nuclear codes. In order to generate spectra-compatible input motions while maintaining the intrinsic non-stationarity of seismic waves, an improved time-domain approach is proposed in this paper. To maintain the nonstationary characteristics of the given seismic waves, a new time-frequency envelope function is constructed using the Hilbert amplitude spectrum. Based on the intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) obtained from given seismic waves through variational mode decomposition, a new corrective time history is constructed to locally modify the given seismic waves. The proposed corrective time history and time-frequency envelope function are unique for each earthquake records as they are extracted from the given seismic waves. In addition, a dimension reduction iterative technique is presented herein to simultaneously superimpose corrective time histories of all the damping ratios at a specific frequency in the time domain according to optimal weights, which are found by the genetic algorithm (GA). Examples are presented to show the capability of the proposed approach in generating spectra-compatible time histories, especially in maintaining the nonstationary characteristics of seismic records. And numerical results reveal that the modified time histories generated by the proposed method can obtain similar dynamic behaviors of AP1000 nuclear power plant with the natural seismic records. Thus, the proposed method can be efficiently used in the design practices.
