Learning-Based Automatic Modulation Classification
(2015-05)
Automatic Modulation Classification (AMC) is a new technology implemented into communication receivers to automatically determine the modulation type of a received signal. One of the main applications of AMC is in adaptive ...
Novel Near-Field Microwave Testing Method for Outdoor Insulators
(2011-06)
Outdoor insulators are very vital in providing energized overhead lines mechanical support and electrical insulation from grounded structures. Insulators can be divided according to the material they are made of into glass, ...
Modeling and Guidance of an Underactuated Autonomous Underwater Vehicle
(2017-12)
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) have become an indispensable tool that is employed by an array of fields. From the inspection of underwater cables and pipelines, to the monitoring of fish pens and coral reefs, to the ...
Strengthening of Shear Deficient Beams with CFRP Laminates with Different Types of Anchorage Systems
(2018-03)
Retrofitting and repairing deteriorating structures have been achieved using several techniques. Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete (RC) members in shear with externally bonded fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) plates and ...
Behavior of RC Beams Strengthened with CFRP Laminates Under Fire - A Finite Element Simulation
(2011-03)
For the last two decades, the use of Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRP) material has been successfully employed in many civil engineering applications. FRP strengthening systems are mainly used to retrofit existing and deficient ...
Effect of Basalt Microfiber on the Shear Response of RC Short Beams
(2019-12)
Basalt composites are known for their high strength, lightweight and corrosion-resistance features. Basalt microfibers in fiber reinforced concrete mixes (FRC) can enhance the tensile strength, toughness and ductility as ...
Near-Field FMCW Radar for Mapping of Multilayer Structures
(2010-05)
Near-field microwave non-destructive evaluation and inspection (NDE&I) of structures and materials is widely used in many applications. Single frequency measurements were found to be effective in detecting defects and ...
Indoor Localization Schemes for Mobile Robots
(2010-11)
Mobile robots have taken a major role in indoor environments where they are used to accomplish high risk tasks instead of human beings, for example in war circumstances, dangerous chemical interactions, etc. Localization ...
Flexural Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened with Externally Bonded Hybrid Systems
(2017-12)
The demand for strengthening of aging reinforced concrete (RC) structures are continuously rising. Carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) are the most widely used externally bonded-reinforcing (EBR) materials for strengthening ...
