A flexible bio-inspired hierarchical model for analyzing musical timbre
(2016)
A flexible and multipurpose bio-inspired hierarchical model for analyzing musical timbre is presented in this paper. Inspired by findings in the fields of neuroscience, computational neuroscience, and psychoacoustics, not ...
Organization of silicon nanocrystals by localized electrochemical etching
(2009)
Abstract : An approach to form a monolayer of organized silicon nanocrystals on a monocrystalline Si wafer is reported. Ordered arrays of nanoholes in a silicon nitride layer were obtained by combining electron beam ...
Experimental study of dynamic bending stiffness of ACSR overhead conductors
(2015)
Abstract : Aeolian vibrations of transmission line conductors may cause fretting fatigue failure at or near the location of clamped devices. At these locations, the bending stiffness variation of the conductor has a large ...
Modeling multilayered wire strands, a strategy based on 3D finite element beam-to-beam contacts - Part II: Application to wind-induced vibration and fatigue analysis of overhead conductors
(2017)
Abstract: Wind-induced loads cause electrical transmission line fatigue. Evaluation procedures consider descriptors such as deflection amplitude (Yb) and far-field vibration (fymax), which cannot relate endurance limits ...
Fabrication of x-ray masks using evaporated electron sensitive layers for back patterning of membranes
(2002)
Abstract : A process aimed at fabricating proximity x-ray lithography masks is presented. In this technique, the Ta absorber layer is deposited and patterned on the back side of the membrane and nonspin-coated electron ...
Strengthening of the net section of steel elements under tensile loads with bonded CFRP strips
(2014)
Abstract : The use of CFRP is increasingly common as a solution for the strengthening of structures, but the majority of research and applications have focused on the retrofit of concrete structures. The application of ...
High noise correlation between the functionally connected neurons in emergent V1 microcircuits
(2016)
Abstract : Neural correlations (noise correlations and cross-correlograms) are widely studied to infer functional connectivity between neurons. High noise correlations (Rsc) between neurons have been reported to increase ...
Effect of geometrical parameters of aluminum-to-steel bolted connections
(2015)
Abstract : Through experimental and numerical studies, this research work aims to provide directions on the optimal geometric configuration for single-lap and double-lap bolted connection between aluminum alloy 6061-T6 and ...
Event management for large scale event-driven digital hardware spiking neural networks
(2013)
Abstract : The interest in brain-like computation has led to the design of a plethora of innovative neuromorphic systems. Individually, spiking neural networks (SNNs), event-driven simulation and digital hardware neuromorphic ...
Effect of geometric parameters on the behavior of bolted GFRP pultruded plates
(2016)
Abstract : This paper presents the effect of geometric parameters on the behavior of bolted GFRP pultruded plates for civil engineering applications. After a literature review, results of an experimental analysis investigating ...
