On the correlation of temperature harmonic content with energy dissipation in C45 steel samples under fatigue loading
2022
Fatigue damage onset involves a transformation of mechanical energy. This is in part spent into work of plastic deformation and fracture and in part transformed into heat. Therefore, different thermomechanical heat sources are activated during a fatigue loading cycle, resulting in a temperature modulation that can be characterized by its frequency content. Several studies have monitored the temperature on samples undergoing high-cycle fatigue, measuring specific thermomechanical metrics which could serve as indicators of damage evolution. The present work evaluates the harmonic content of temperature, to investigate its correlation with the material dissipation. The harmonic terms investiga…
Regularization Method in Infrared Image Processing
2003
Abstract Infrared images often present distortions induced by the measurement system. Thus, image processing is a vital part of infrared measurements. A distortion model based on a convolution product is presented. Image restoration is an ill-posed problem and its solution can be obtained using regularization methods. In this paper, image restoration is performed using a variation of Tikhonov regularization that makes use of the particular form of the convolution kernel matrix, which is built as a block-circulant matrix that admits a diagonal form in the two-dimensional Fourier space. The restoration procedure is used to restore a knife-edge infrared source image.
Effect of fatigue on the intra-cycle acceleration in front crawl swimming: a time-frequency analysis.
2007
The present study analyzes the changes in acceleration produced by swimmers before and after fatiguing effort. The subjects (n=15) performed a 25-m crawl series at maximum speed without fatigue, and a second series with fatigue. The data were registered with a synchronized system that consisted of a position transducer (1 kHz) and a video photogrametry (50 Hz). The acceleration (m s−2) was obtained by the derivative analysis of the variation of the position with time. The amplitude in the time domain was calculated with the root mean square (RMS); while the peak power (PP), the peak power frequency (PPF) and the spectrum area (SA) were calculated in the frequency domain with Fourier analysi…
Concurrent fast and slow synchronized efferent phrenic activities in time and frequency domain.
1990
Abstract In urethane-anesthetized or decerebrated vagotomized rabbits efferent multifiber activity of the phrenic nerve was investigated for synchronized activities both in time and frequency domains. When respiratory drive was steadily increased by either an elevation of end-tidal CO2 concentration or i.v. administration of 4-aminopyridine, medium-frequency oscillations (MFO) first increased, then decreased and finally became absent. The power of high-frequency oscillations (HFO) steadily rose with increasing respiratory drive. In contrast to HFO which revealed a unimodal spectral peak of mostly small bandwidth, the MFO spectrum in most cases consisted of a broad complex. This complex in s…
Frequency domain control based on quantitative feedback theory for vibration suppression in structures equipped with magnetorheological dampers
2009
This is an author-created, un-copyedited version of an article accepted for publication in Smart Materials and Structures. IOP Publishing Ltd is not responsible for any errors or omissions in this version of the manuscript or any version derived from it. The definitive publisher authenticated version is available online at http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/0964-1726/18/9/095041 This paper addresses the problem of designing quantitative feedback theory (QFT) based controllers for the vibration reduction in a structure equipped with an MR damper. In this way, the controller is designed in the frequency domain and the natural frequencies of the structure can be directly accounted for in the process. T…
Nonlinear vibrations of elastic beams with external general visco-elastic devices
2011
Vibration damping for slender beams is achieved by applying devices at external points. The latter consist of general single visco-elastic springpot elements. An approximate nonlinear boundary value problem is found in frequency domain that holds for moderately large vibrations or for linear beams with external nonlinear devices, both in the vicinity of primary resonances. The interaction force of a so-called springpot element is expressed as a sum of two separate forces: the first develops due to the external loading function at the device location, and the second contribution arises due to an imposed time-harmonic support excitation with no other external forces acting on the structure. F…
Supercontinuum spectral-domain ghost imaging
2018
International audience; Ghost imaging is a technique that generates high-resolution images by correlating the intensity of two light beams, neither of which independently contains useful information about the shape of the object. Ghost imaging has been demonstrated in both the spatial and temporal domains, using incoherent classical light sources or entangled photon pairs. Here we exploit the recent progress in ultrafast real-time measurement techniques to demonstrate ultrafast, scan-free, ghost imaging in the frequency domain using a continuous spectrum from an incoherent supercontinuum light source with random spectral fluctuations. We demonstrate the application of this technique to broa…
Terahertz Biomedical Imaging: From Multivariate Analysis and Detection to Material Parameter Extraction
2017
Terahertz imaging is an interesting route for biomedical analysis. In particular, cancer imaging is a subject of study for different teams [1,2]. A work is done in Bordeaux in partnership with a hospital to do terahertz analysis of breast tissue. This work is done in reflection with time domain imaging setup with fresh samples. The aim is to accurately assess tumor margins and which could in the future allow a quick validation of the precision of the surgical procedure and know if new surgery should be performed. We have presented in a previous paper [3] the use of automatic methods of image generation with different parameters [4] in order to explore the different contrasts that exist in t…
Reconstruction Improvement in Integral Fourier Holography by Micro-Scanning Method
2015
Although integral holography has many promising advantages in the field of 3D imaging, the resolution of reconstructed holographic image is still limited by the insufficient information captured. To improve the reconstruction quality, an integral Fourier holographic imaging method based on micro-scanning of the micro-lens array is proposed in this paper. The micro-scanning of the micro-lens array can increase the sampling rate in spatial frequency domain and the information of the generated Fourier hologram, which will eventually eliminate the overlapping effect in the reconstructed 3D image. Experiments for different micro-scanning modes are carried out to verify the feasibility of the pro…
Shift-Invariant Canonical Polyadic Decomposition of Complex-Valued Multi-Subject fMRI Data with a Phase Sparsity Constraint
2020
Canonical polyadic decomposition (CPD) of multi-subject complex-valued fMRI data can be used to provide spatially and temporally shared components among groups with both magnitude and phase information. However, the CPD model is not well formulated due to the large subject variability in the spatial and temporal modalities, as well as the high noise level in complex-valued fMRI data. Considering that the shift-invariant CPD can model temporal variability across subjects, we propose to further impose a phase sparsity constraint on the shared spatial maps to denoise the complex-valued components and to model the inter-subject spatial variability as well. More precisely, subject-specific time …
