Compressive mechanical behavior of Au nanowires

The structural evolution, deformation mechanism, and failure behavior of Au [001] nanowires with various sizes and slenderness ratios under uniaxial compression have been investigated using molecular dynamics. The results show that the elastic modulus, yield stress, and strain all are dependent on the diameters and slenderness ratios of the nanowires. Buckling behavior is observed in a long nanowire, followed by slips in the {111} planes. Differences are identified in the failure behavior of a short nanowire and a medium nanowire, although the plastic deformation of both types of nanowire originates from the slips in the {111} planes.     

Analytical study for investigating the behaviour of Nd-doped Glass, YAG and GGG under the heat capacity mode of operation

In this paper, detailed analytical studies on heat capacity operation in Nd-doped glass, YAG and GGG has been reported. The effect of the rising temperature on gain and hence on the output energy/power has been numerically worked out. The studies predicted that several kilowatts of the useful output power can be extracted out from the laser materials under investigation when operated under the heat capacity mode. The studies also revealed that output power levels can be scaled up by increasing the number of disks and by increasing the disk aperture size. The factors limiting the power enhancement are also discussed. The estimated results are in good agreement with the other reported experimental results.     

Investigation on the mechanical properties of sintered porous copper compacts

In line with recent attention on porous metals having low and medium porosities in the range of 20-50%, this paper studies the effect of porosity on the mechanical properties of sintered copper compacts. Experiments were designed to investigate the effect of porosity, applied stress and sliding velocity on the wear rate of copper compacts, leading to the finding that the effects of both porosity and applied stress of the wear test on the wear rate are approximately similar and higher than that of sliding velocity. The investigation concerning the effect of porosity on compressive strength indicated that the stress-strain curve of high-porosity compact exhibited identifiable ultimate strength points, though low-porosity compact showed distinct stages of elastic plastic behavior.

Quasi maximum likelihood estimator of polynomial phase signals for compressed sensed data

Several papers in the literature cover parameter estimation of frequency modulated (FM) signals under reduced number of signal samples with respect to the Nyquist/Shannon criterion, i.e., within the compressive sensing (CS) framework. However, scope of these papers is mainly limited to sinusoids or sum of sinusoids. In this paper, the CS framework is extended to parameter estimation of higher order polynomial phase signals (PPSs) using the quasi-maximum likelihood (QML) estimator and robust short-time Fourier transform (STFT). The considered signal is assumed to be non-uniformly sampled PPS with smaller number of samples with respect to the Nyquist/Shannon criterion. However, the proposed technique can also be generalized to uniformly sampled signals with missing or unreliable samples.     

Block-wise motion detection using compressive imaging system

A block-wise motion detection strategy based on compressive imaging, also referred to as feature-specific imaging (FSI), is described in this work. A mixture of Gaussian distributions is used to model the background in a scene. Motion is detected in individual object blocks using feature measurements. Gabor, Hadamard binary and random binary features are studied. Performance of motion detection methods using pixel-wise measurements is analyzed and serves as a baseline for comparison with motion detection techniques based on compressive imaging. ROC (Receiver Operation Characteristic) curves and AUC (Area Under Curve) metrics are used to quantify the algorithm performance. Because a FSI system yields a larger measurement SNR(Signal-to-Noise Ratio) than a traditional system, motion detection methods based on the FSI system have better performance. We show that motion detection algorithms using Hadamard and random binary features in a FSI system yields AUC values of 0.978 and 0.969 respectively. The pixel-based methods are only able to achieve a lower AUC value of 0.627.

Downlink channel estimation in FDD cell-free massive MIMO

In frequency-division duplexing (FDD) cell-free massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, an excessive channel estimation overhead is a critical issue that limits the system performance. In this paper, by exploiting the sparse channel characteristics of such a cell-free system, we apply compressive sensing to estimate the channel state information and solve the excessive pilot overhead problem. The proposed algorithm estimates several channel coefficients with significant gains in the power domain and ignores the approximately zero coefficients. Compared to minimum mean square error (MMSE) estimation with orthogonal pilots, the proposed method significantly reduces the pilot overhead in an FDD cell-free massive MIMO system. The access points (APs) that contribute low gains feature reduced energy consumption because the power coefficients corresponding to zero gains in the sparse channel are assigned zeros in the power control process. Therefore, to improve the energy efficiency, the ignored channel coefficients reduce the power overhead.
