In this paper, we propose an automatic modulation classification method for ten digitally modulated baseband signals, such as 2-FSK, 4-FSK, 8-FSK, MSK, BPSK, QPSK, 8-PSK, 16-QAM, 32-QAM, and 64-QAM based on higher order statistics of cyclostationary process. The first order cyclic moments and higher order cyclic cumulants of the signal are used as features of the modulation signals. The proposed method consists of two stages. At the first stage, we classify modulation signals as M-FSK and non-FSK using peaks of the first order cyclic moment. At the next step, we apply the Gaussian mixture model-based classifier to classify non-FSK. Simulation results are demonstrated to evaluate the proposed scheme. The results show high probability of classification even in the presence of frequency and phase offsets.

In this paper, an automatic recognition algorithm for linearly modulated signals like PSK, QAM under noncoherent asynchronous condition is proposed. Frequency, phase, and amplitude characteristics of digitally modulated signals are changed periodically. By using this characteristics, cyclic moments and higher order cumulants based features are utilized for the modulation recognition. Hierarchial decision tree method is used for high speed signal processing and totally 4 feature extraction parameters are used for modulation recognition. In the condition where the symbol number is 4,096, the recognition accuracy of the proposed algorithm is more than 95% at SNR 15dB. Also the proposed algorithm is effective to classify the signal which has carrier frequency and phase offset.

A15052/AFRP laminates were developed principally to obtain a material with good fatigue strength, in which possible cracks would grow very slowly. Weight savings of more than 30% should be attainable in practice. Also, the crack bridging fibers could still was carry a significant part of the load over the crack, thus the COD and stress intensity factor was reduced at the crack tip. A15052/ AFRP laminates consists of three thin sheets of 5052-H34 aluminum alloy and two layers of [0] unidirectional aramid fiber prepreg. The cyclic-bending moment test was investigated based on applying the five kinds of bending moments. The size of the delamination zone produced between 5052-H34 aluminum alloy sheets and fiber-adhesive layers was measured from ultrasonic C-scan pictures taken around the fatigue crack. In addition, the relationship between the cyclic-bending moment and the delamination zone size was studied and the effect of fiber bridging mechanism was also considered.

In the present study, a CPT-based p-y analysis method was proposed for offshore mono-piles embedded in sands. Static and cyclic loading conditions were both taken into account for the proposed method. The continuous soil profiling capability of CPT was an important consideration for the proposed method, where detailed soil profile condition with depth can be readily incorporated into the analysis. The hyperbolic function was adopted to describe the non-linear p-y curves. For the proposed hyperbolic p-y relationship, the ultimate lateral soil resistance $p_u$ was given as a function of the cone resistance, which is directly introduced into the analysis as an input data. For cyclic loading condition, two different cyclic modification factors were considered and compared. Case examples were selected to check the validity of the proposed CPT-based method. Calculated lateral displacements and bending moments from the proposed method were in good agreement with measured results for lateral displacement and bending moment profiles. It was observed the accuracy of calculated results for the conventional approach was largely dependent on the selection of friction angle that is to be adopted into the analysis.

The use of cold-formed steel members is increasing day by day, especially in regions where earthquake effects are intensively experienced. Among cold-formed steel members (CFS), "channel" members are used more than other crosssectional members, especially in buildings or industrial structures. In recent years, several studies have been carried out on the axial load and flexural performance of these members under monotonic loading. In this study, CFS beam-column members were cyclically and monotonically loaded under combined axial load and biaxial bending moments, and their buckling behavior, load bearing capacity, stiffness, ductility, and energy absorption capacity were determined. For this purpose, monotonic and cyclic loading experiments were carried out on 30 CFS channel members at 15 different eccentricities. Then, material properties were determined by axial monotonic tensile and very low cycle fatigue tests for use in numerical studies. From the experimental results, the buckling modes, bearing capacities, ductility, stiffness, and energy absorption capacities of the members were obtained. The characteristics of the members were compared according to the stress state of the lips. According to the data obtained from the displacement transducer placed on the lips and on the back of the web, information about the buckling mode and curvature of the members was obtained. Finally, monotonic, and cyclic loading results were compared to determine the differences in the buckling behavior of the members.

Under severe lateral loads, ductile moments-resisting reinforced concrete frames will be subjected to large loads and displacements. Thus, large deformation and shear stree are occurred at the beam-column joints which are the most critical region in ductile moments-resisting system. The purpose of this study was to investigate the shear strength of beam-column connection using high strength concrete. Four subassemblies were designed 2/3 scale of read structures and tested. The obtained results are as follows. 1) The transverse beams increase the shear resistance and ductility of joint, 2) The slab was contributed to increase of the flexural capacity of the beam, but was not contributed to increase the joint ductility under cyclic loads. 3) The shear stress factors. given by the ACI code would be modified in evaluating the shear strength of beam-column joints of frame which were constructed with high-strength concrete.

Composite beams are generally known to possess higher flexural stiffness and strength under the positive bending moments than the normal steel beams. However the these beams also exhibit large differences in flexural stiffness and strength when both positive and negative bending moments are applied. As observed during the 1995 Kobe Earthquake, these beams tend to be fractured on the bottom flanges under repeated cyclic loadings. The objective of this study is to develop and evaluate the composite beam detail, which is able to effectively resist the seismic loadings. The proposed system is composed of the slit on concrete slab around column. A limited experimental program was designed and conducted to investigate the hysteretic behavior of the proposed composite beam system. From the experimental data obtained from the testing of three specimens, the proposed composite beam detail is found to possess large beam rotation than normal steel beams.

This study investigates the behavior of precast concrete cantilever wall systems with new vertical connections under cyclic loading. C-type steel connections for PC wall systems are proposed for the transfer of bending moments between walls in the vertical direction, whereas a shear key in the center of the wall is prepared to transfer shear forces by bearing pressure. The proposed connections are assembled easily because the directions of the slots are different at the edges of the walls. Structural performance characteristics such as the strength, ductility, and failure modes of test specimens were investigated. The longitudinal reinforcing steel bars, which are connected to the C-type connections, yielded first. Ultimate deformation was terminated owing to premature failure of the connections. The strength and deformation obtained from the cross-sectional analysis were generally similar to experimental data.

Density functional theory calculations are reported for the carbon clusters bonded with two oxygen atoms $OC_No$ (n=2-6). The structures, vibrational frequencies and dipole moments are computed by BLYP theory with the 6-311G* basis set. Good agreement is obtained between the computed and experimentally observed properties. The ground states of these molecules are shown to be linear. Cyclic structures with higher energy are also predicted.

The length of the links in an eccentrically braced frame will dictate the behavior of the frame. Link length controls the yielding mechanism and the ultimate failure mode. For short links, the links' shear forces reach the plastic shear capacity before the end moments reach the plastic moment capacity, and the links yields in the shear, forming a shear hinges. These links are termed "shear links." For long links, the end moments reach the plastic moment capacity before the links' shear forces reach the plastic shear capacity, forming moment hinges. These links are termed moment links." In long links, flexural yielding dominates the response, and very high bending strains are required at the link ends to produce large link deformations. In a shear links, the shear force is constant along the length of the links, and the inelastic shear strain are is uniformly distributed over the length of the links. This permits the development of large inelastic link deformations without the development of excessively high local strains. However, The use of eccentrically braced steel frames for the purpose of architectural cionsiderations such as openings and doors, areis dictating the use of longer links, though. Little data areis available on the behavior of long links under cyclic loading conditions. In This paper documents the results of an experimental program is that was conducted to assess the response of moment links in eccentrically braced frames. Sixteen specimens awere tested using a cyclic load.
