An updated version of the computational package SIMPRE that uses the standard conventions for Stevens crystal field parameters

2014

The crystal field approach used by SIMPRE is analyzed, verifying the exactness of the results concerning energy levels and magnetic properties calculated by the package. To coincide with the prevailing conventions, we reformulate the presentation of the crystal field parameters, so that the results are now, also from a formal point of view, strictly correct. New calculations are presented to test the influence of neglecting the excited J states, a common but critical approximation employed by SIMPRE. For that, we examine the case of Er(trensal) complex (H3 trensal = 2,2',2″-tris(salicylideneimino)triethylamine) where the influence of this approximation is found to be minimal. A patched vers…

Vacuum-ultraviolet absorption of hydrogenated and deuterated silanol groups and interstitial water molecules in amorphousSiO2

2005

Vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) absorption cross sections of hydrogenated and deuterated silanol groups (SiOX, where $\mathrm{X}=\mathrm{H}$ or D) as well as interstitial water molecules $({\mathrm{X}}_{2}\mathrm{O})$ in amorphous $\mathrm{Si}{\mathrm{O}}_{2}$ $(a\text{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{Si}{\mathrm{O}}_{2})$ were determined between photon energies of 7 and $8.2\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{eV}$. The absorption bands for the deuterated species are blueshifted compared to those for the hydrogenated ones by $\ensuremath{\sim}0.1\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\text{to}\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}0.2\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{eV}$ as a result of a decrease in the zero-point energy associat…

On real-time algorithms for the location search of discontinuous conductivities with one measurement

2008

We discuss, and compare, two simple methods that provide coordinates of a point in the vicinity of one inclusion within some object with homogeneous electrical properties. In the context of nondestructive testing such an inclusion may correspond to a material defect, whereas in medicine this may correspond to a lesion in the brain, to name only two possible applications. Both methods use only one pair of voltage/current measurements on the entire boundary of the object to determine a single pair of coordinates that is considered to be close to the center of the inclusion. The first method has been proposed previously by Kwon, Seo and Yoon; the second method, called here the effective dipole…

Tensor decomposition of EEG signals: A brief review

2015

Electroencephalography (EEG) is one fundamental tool for functional brain imaging. EEG signals tend to be represented by a vector or a matrix to facilitate data processing and analysis with generally understood methodologies like time-series analysis, spectral analysis and matrix decomposition. Indeed, EEG signals are often naturally born with more than two modes of time and space, and they can be denoted by a multi-way array called as tensor. This review summarizes the current progress of tensor decomposition of EEG signals with three aspects. The first is about the existing modes and tensors of EEG signals. Second, two fundamental tensor decomposition models, canonical polyadic decomposit…

Simultaneous measurement of temperature and strain in glass fiber/epoxy composites by embedded fiber optic sensors: II. Post-cure testing

2007

In this paper the use of fiber optic sensors embedded into GFRP laminates for structural health monitoring of thermo-mechanical loads is presented. The proposed sensing system, consisting of two coupled fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors, allows the simultaneous measurement of both temperature and strain by decoupling the change in reflected wavelength induced by temperature variations from that induced by either mechanical or apparent strain, with significant advantages either for monitoring the composite cure kinetics, as described in the accompanying paper (Part I), or for assessing the structural response to thermo-mechanical loads. Both thermal ramp and mechanical static/dynamic bending…

Switching times in long-overlap Josephson junctions subject to thermal fluctuations and non-Gaussian noise sources

2014

We investigate the superconducting lifetime of long current-biased Josephson junctions, in the presence of Gaussian and non-Gaussian noise sources. In particular, we analyze the dynamics of a Josephson junction as a function of the noise signal intensity, for different values of the parameters of the system and external driving currents. We find that the mean lifetime of the superconductive state is characterized by nonmonotonic behavior as a function of noise intensity, driving frequency and junction length. We observe that these nonmonotonic behaviours are connected with the dynamics of the junction phase string during the switching towards the resistive state. An important role is played…

Machine learning at the interface of structural health monitoring and non-destructive evaluation

2020

While both non-destructive evaluation (NDE) and structural health monitoring (SHM) share the objective of damage detection and identification in structures, they are distinct in many respects. This paper will discuss the differences and commonalities and consider ultrasonic/guided-wave inspection as a technology at the interface of the two methodologies. It will discuss how data-based/machine learning analysis provides a powerful approach to ultrasonic NDE/SHM in terms of the available algorithms, and more generally, how different techniques can accommodate the very substantial quantities of data that are provided by modern monitoring campaigns. Several machine learning methods will be illu…
