The mechanical behavior of viscoelastic materials is influenced, among other factors, by parameters like time and temperature. The present paper proposes a methodology for a thermorheologically and ...

Abstract: To eliminate inter-symbol interferences (ISI) caused by nonlinear group delay effect in high-speed broadband satellite sensor networks, an efficient parallel adaptive blind equalization of ...

Abstract: A blind algorithm is proposed in order to compensate for the phase noise resulting from imperfect oscillators in orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems over constant ...

Polymers are often employed in engineering designs because of their ability to damp out shock and vibration. A material’s ability to elastically store energy is characterized by the storage modulus (E ...

In hard disk drives, digital information is stored and retrieved magnetically by a “read head” that flies over the disk within tens of nanometers of its surface. Figure 1 is a photograph of a read ...
