Studies of Mental “Noise”

Successive tests of subjects' performance in reaction time tasks were treated as time series and submitted to spectrum analysis. Rather than revealing the white noise expected by the view that variability is due to random error (equivalent power across frequency), the power spectra revealed colored noise. The slopes of the power spectra did not vary much for tasks differing in memory requirements. Spectrum analysis of time series from the logistic map also showed colored noise in regions on the edge of chaos, showing that the presence of colored noise in cognitive data need not oblige a theoretical account based on a complex, high-dimensional, system.

从光闪烁频谱反演大气湍流谱:原理与数值模拟

建立了一种数值算法,从光波在湍流大气中传播的闪烁时间频谱的高频特征反演大气光学湍流谱.此算法具有两点优越性:（1）反演出的湍流谱直接表征大气折射率的起伏而非大气温度场的起伏;（2）可以获得高空间波数、大部分位于耗散区的湍流谱,而用其它方法不易获得此区域的湍流谱.对Hill湍流谱以及一种复杂的湍流谱进行了大量数值模拟来检验此种算法,结果表明:如果知道大气风速与湍流内尺度就可以相当有效地获得湍流谱.

An intermediate model method for obtaining a discrete relaxation spectrum from creep data

A convenient method is described for obtaining a discrete stress relaxation spectrum from linear viscoelastic creep data by means of a three-stage process. In stage one, a discrete retardation spectrum is fitted to the creep data using a least squares procedure, subject to the constraint that the discrete spectrum must be a specified order of polynomial function of the retardation time. In stage two, the resulting generalised Voigt model is solved numerically for an imposed step in strain, to determine the stress relaxation modulus function of time. In stage three, a discrete relaxation spectrum is fitted to the calculated stress relaxation modulus function. Although three stages are involved instead of the usual two, the procedure has been found to have certain practical advantages. These advantages make it suitable for the generation of relaxation spectra needed in viscoelastic stress analyses of solids, for example by the finite element method. In order to illustrate the proposed procedure it is applied to both artificial data and experimental creep data for poly(methyl methacrylate) at 70°C and at the glass transition.     

Messung der dynamischen Eigenschaften verdünnter Polymerlösungen

Zusammenfassung Ein neuartiges Rheometer zur Ermittlung der rheologischen Eigenschaften von Polymerlösungen im linear-viskoelastischen Bereich wird vorgestellt. Durch Anwendung der Laser-Doppler-Anemometrie, die eine im hydro-dynamischen Sinn störungsfreie Meßmethode darstellt, ist es möglich, niedrig-viskose bis hin zu wasserähnlichen Proben zu vermessen.Zur Bewältigung der in großer Zahl anfallenden Daten und Rechenoperationen findet ein Mikrocomputer-System Verwendung. Es erledigt im einzelnen die Aufgaben Versuchsablauf-Steuerung, Meßwerterfassung, Auswertung, Dokumentation und graphische Darstellung der Ergebnisse.Anhand von Messungen an newtonschen Flüssigkeiten werden der Funktionsnachweis erbracht und die Betriebsbereiche der Ringspaltsysteme unterschiedlichen Durchmessers ermittelt.Die viskoelastischen Eigenschaften von wäßrigen Polyethylenoxid- und Polyacrylamid-Lösungen niedriger Viskosität lassen sich über einen Frequenzbereich von 0,1 bis 100 Hz messen. Die Ergebnisse werden mit Hilfe der komplexen Viskositätsfunktion dargestellt. Daraus läßt sich als gleichwertige Darstellung das diskrete Relaxationsspektrum eines konkreten Stoffgesetzes gewinnen.

---

A novel rheometer for determining the elastic characteristics of polymeric solutions in the linear-viscoelastic region is described. Laser-Doppler anemometry, which does not introduce hydrodynamic disturbances, is used to enable low viscosity liquids including water-like samples to be measured.A microcomputer system is utilized to control the experiments, store and analyse the measured data, and provide graphical representations of the results. Measurements on Newtonian liquids verified the validity of the method and allowed the operational regions of the annulus systems with different diameters to be determined.The elastic characteristics of low viscosity aqueous solutions of polyethyleneoxide and polyacrylamide can be measured at frequencies from 0.1 to 100 Hz. The results are presented using the complex viscosity function. As a result the discrete relaxation spectrum of a special material law can be obtained as an equivalent representation.

     

A delta-function method for the n-th approximation of relaxation or retardation time spectrum from dynamic data

A function series g(x; n, m) is presented that converges in the limiting case n and m = constant to the delta-function located at x = = 1. For every finite n, there exists 2n+1(–nmn) approximations of the delta-function _(n)(x–x _n,m ). x _n,m is the argument where the function reaches its maximum. A formula for the calculation is given.The delta-function approximation is the starting point for the approximative determination of the logarithmic density function of the relaxation or retardation time spectrum. The n-th approximation of density functions based on components of the complex modulus (G*) or the complex compliance (J*) is given. It represents an easy differential operator of order n.This approach generalizes the results obtained by Schwarzl and Staverman, and Tschoegl. The symmetry properties of the approximations are explained by the symmetry properties of the function g(x; n, m). Therefore, the separate equations for each approximation given by Tschoegl can be subsumed in a single equation for G and G, and in another for J and J.
