This paper presents a "fast and simple" (FAS) detection algorithm based on the digital image correlation for measurement of the surface deformation of planar objects. The proposed algorithm uses only ...

We sit here writing about investments every day. For those of us who are deep into the investment world, it's easy to lose sight of the reality that most people face: Managing your own investments is ...

I tend to divide my workday into blocks. Within minutes of waking up — we’re usually up by 5.30 a.m. — I sit down to write at least one Inc. article. Then I spend four to five hours writing a book, ...

ABSTRACT: Image deformation analysis techniques are widely used in geotechnical engineering. However, research on identifying the time history of dynamic soil deformation remains limited, and the ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a sensorless control of switched reluctance motor (SRM) based on quadrature feature position observer (QFPO) and finite position set-phase locked loop (FPS-PLL) over ...

Tensegrity structures are geometric nonlinear systems and statically and kinematically indeterminate structures that require an initial shape-finding procedure to establish a self-equilibrium state.

Take advantage of the MethodImplAttribute class in C# to inline methods and improve the execution speed of your .NET applications. The Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler is a component of the Common Language ...

Determination of a suitable initial estimate for a root of an equation ƒ(x) = 0 by means of computing the roots of a sequence of related equations is described.

Abstract: Magnetic localization techniques present some interests for microrobotics applications using smart surfaces due to their inherent advantages, such as integration ability or low cost. However ...

Dr. James McCaffrey from Microsoft Research presents a complete end-to-end demonstration of computing a matrix inverse using the Newton iteration algorithm. Compared to other algorithms, Newton ...
