A continuous/discontinuous Galerkin formulation for a strain gradient-dependent damage model
(4th European Congress on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences and Engineering (ECCOMAS)4th European Congress on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences and Engineering (ECCOMAS), 2004)
The numerical solution of strain gradient-dependent continuum problems has been hindered by continuity demands on the basis functions. The presence of terms in constitutive models that involve gradients of the strain field ...
Particle Filtering for Joint Symbol and Code Delay Estimation in DS Spread Spectrum Systems in Multipath Environment
(2004-11-07)
We develop a new receiver for joint symbol, channel characteristics, and code delay estimation for DS spread spectrum systems under conditions of multipath fading. The approach is based on particle filtering techniques and ...
Particle Filtering Applied to Musical Tempo Tracking
(2004-11-07)
This paper explores the use of particle filters for beat tracking in musical audio examples. The aim is to estimate the time-varying tempo process and to find the time locations of beats, as defined by human perception. ...

On the playability of stringed instruments
(University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringTrinity College, 2004-07-13)
As first noticed by Helmholtz, strings vibrate in a “V-shape” when they are bowed correctly and a full tone is produced, where the vertex of the “V” shuttles back and forth along the visible envelope of the string’s motion. ...
Modelling of friction stir welding
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2004-02)
This thesis investigates the modelling of friction stir welding (FSW). FSW is a relatively new welding process where a rotating non-consumable tool is used to join two materials through high temperature deformation. The ...
Joint Tracking of Manoeuvring Targets and Classification of Their Manoeuvrability
(2004-11-07)
Semi-Markov models are a generalisation of Markov models that explicitly model the state-dependent sojourn time distribution, the time for which the system remains in a given state. Markov models result in an exponentially ...
