This paper investigates the size dependent effect on the vibration analysis of a porous nanocomposite viscoelastic plate reinforced by functionally graded-single walled carbon nanotubes (FG-SWCNTs) by considering nonlocal strain gradient theory. Therefore, using energy method and Hamilton's principle, the equations of motion are derived. In this article, the effects of nonlocal parameter, aspect ratio, strain gradient parameter, volume fraction of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), damping coefficient, porosity coefficient, and temperature change on the natural frequency are perused. The innovation of this paper is to compare the effectiveness of each mentioned parameters individually on the free vibrations of this plate and to represent the appropriate value for each parameter to achieve an ideal nanocomposite plate that minimizes vibration. The results are verified with those referenced in the paper. The results illustrate that the effect of damping coefficient on the increase of natural frequency is significantly higher than the other parameters effect, and the effects of the strain gradient parameter and nonlocal parameter on the natural frequency increase are less than damping coefficient effect, respectively. Furthermore, the results indicate that the natural frequency decreases with a rise in the nonlocal parameter, aspect ratio and temperature change. Also, the natural frequency increases with a rise in the strain gradient parameter and CNTs volume fraction. This study can be used for optimizing the industrial and medical designs, such as automotive industry, aerospace engineering and water purification system, by considering ideal properties for the nanocomposite plate.

매우 큰 사이즈를 가진 multi-finger RF MOSFET의 $S_{11}$-parameter에서 스미스차트의 저항 circle 라인을 벗어나는 kink 현상의 게이트 바이어스 종속 특성이 관찰되었다. 이러한 바이어스 종속성은 $S_{11}$-parameter의 크기와 위상, 입력저항, 입력 커패시턴스의 주파수 응답곡선을 측정하여 최초로 분석되었다. 그 결과 입력 커패시턴스의 크기와 입력저항의 dominant pole과 zero 주파수에 의해 $V_{gs}$ 종속 kink 현상이 크게 변하는 것을 알 수 있다. $V_{gs}=0V$일 때 매우 적은 $S_{11}$-parameter 위상차와 입력저항의 높은 pole 주파수에 의해 고주파영역에서 kink 현상이 나타난다. 하지만 $V_{gs}$가 높아지면 $S_{11}$-parameter 위상차가 크게 증가하고 pole 주파수가 낮아져 저주파영역에서 kink 현상이 발생하게 된다.

본 연구의 목적은 구조 시스템의 구조적 손상에 의한 고유주파수 감소율과 감쇠변수 증가율을 비교 분석하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 저주파 영역의 고유주파수와 비교적 높은 감쇠변수 특성을 갖는 2경간 H-Beam을 대상으로 실내실험과 수치해석을 수행하였으며, 충격하중에 대한 손상 전과 손상 후 응답신호를 각각 14개 위치에서 분석하였다. 각 위치에 대한 손상 전과 손상 후 응답신호는 푸리에 변환을 통하여 고유주파수 감소율을 분석하였으며, 감쇠변수 증가율은 웨이블릿 변환을 통하여 수행되었다. 웨이블릿 변환은 최대 웨이블릿 계수에 대응되는 스케일의 시간함수 분리가 가능하기 때문에 감쇠변수 평가에 대한 정확성을 높일 수 있다. 손상 전과 손상 후 계측된 응답신호에 대하여 고유주파수 감소율은 민감하지 못한 결과로 평가되었고, 감쇠변수 증가율은 비교적 큰 변화량을 보여 구조 시스템의 손상도 평가에 신뢰할 수 있는 결과를 보여주었다.

This paper presents a DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform) based estimation algorithm for the parameters of a low-frequency oscillating signal. The proposed method estimates the parameters, i.e., the frequency, the damping factor, the mode amplitude, and the phase, by fitting a discrete Fourier spectrum with an exponentially damped cosine function. Parameter estimation algorithms that consider the spectrum leakage of the discrete Fourier spectrum are introduced. The multi-domain mode test functions are tested in order to verify the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method. The results show that the proposed algorithms are highly applicable to the practical computation of low-frequency parameter estimations based on DFTs.

Vibroarthrographic(VAG) signals, emitted by human knee joints, are non-stationary and multi-component in nature and time-frequency distributions(TFD) provide powerful means to analyze such signals. The objective of this paper is to classify VAG signals, generated during joint movement, into two groups(normal and patient group) using the characteristic parameters extracted by time-frequency transform, and to evaluate the classification accuracy. Noise within TFD was reduced by singular value decomposition and back-propagation neural network(BPNN) was used for classifying VAG signals. The characteristic parameters consist of the energy parameter, energy spread parameter, frequency parameter, frequency spread parameter by Wigner-Ville distribution and the amplitude of frequency distribution, the mean and the median frequency by fast Fourier transform. Totally 1408 segments(normal 1031, patient 377) were used for training and evaluating BPNN. As a result, the average value of the classification accuracy was 92.3(standard deviation ${\pm}0.9$)%. The proposed method was independent of clinical information, and showed good potential for non-invasive diagnosis and monitoring of joint disorders such as osteoarthritis and chondromalacia patella.

Lightning has a broad frequency spectrum from DC to a few MHz. Consequently, the high frequency performance of grounding systems for protection against lightning should be evaluated, with the distributed parameter circuit model in a uniform soil being used to simulate grounding impedances. This paper proposes a simulation method which applies the distributed parameter circuit model for the frequency-dependent impedance of vertically driven ground rods by considering multi-layered soil structures where ground rods are buried. The Matlab program was used to calculate the frequency-dependent ground impedances for two ground rods of different lengths. As a result, an increase of the length of ground rod is not always followed by a decrease of grounding impedance, at least at a high frequency. The results obtained using the newly proposed simulation method considering multi-layered soil structures are in good agreement with the measured results.

Muscle fatigue is characterized as a progressive increase in discomfort arising from the active muscle at moderate load levels are maintained. The median frequency is the most commonly used as a parameter to describe muscle fatigue. However, the estimate of the median frequency is difficult to indicate muscle fatigue because of its high standard deviation and instability. This paper investigates the power changes of the appropriate low frequency band as a fatigue parameter in EMG during isotonic exercise. To select the appropriate band, linear regression lines are employed to calculate the slopes and the coefficient of determination. Three females and seven males volunteered to participate in surface EMG recordings placed on the biceps brachii and each recording experiment continued until their exhaustion. The results of experiment shows that the power changes of the selected low frequency band (15~45 Hz) have linear slopes and high determinant coefficients. Therefore, this fatiguing parameter using the power changes of the low frequency band is valid to measure the state of muscular fatigue.

This paper presents a Fourier based algorithm for estimating the parameters of the low frequency oscillating modes. The proposed methods estimates various parameters(frequency, damping factor, mode magnitude, phase) by fitting Fourier spectrum and phase with a damped exponential cosine function. Dominant frequency is selected by taking frequency corresponding to the peak spectrum, and damping factor is estimated using the left/right spectra of Fourier spectrum. In addition, mode magnitude is calculated by the normalized peak spectrum, and phase is estimated from spectrum phase. Also, we introduce an accuracy index in order to determine the accuracy of the estimated parameters, and the index is calculated using the deviations of the peak spectrum and the left/right spectra. The parameter estimation methods proposed in this paper include very simple arithmetical processes, so the algorithms are simple and the calculation speed is very fast. The proposed methods are applied to test functions with two dominant modes. The results show that the proposed methods are highly applicable to low frequency parameter estimation.
