Performance Analysis of a Hybrid One-Sided Magnetic Exciter Mounted on a Piezoelectric Stack by A. Nandi, S. Neogy

“…The present work proposes a non-contact hybrid exciter especially useful for harmonic excitation of lightly damped structures/rotors. In the proposed exciter an electromagnet is placed on a piezoelectric stack and the extension of the piezoelectric stack is made almost equal to the displacement of the structure using a simple tracking control. …”

Characteristics of a calcite "limestone"-marble from Macedonia, used as flux material by Hristova E., Jancev S.

“…The phase characteristics of calcite "limestone"-marble from Banjany area village (near Skopje, Macedonia) were examined by means of XRD, SEM microscope in polarizing and reflected lights, chemical, DT/TG-analyses. It was concluded as follows: - calcite (CaCO3) is a major mineral component (cca 80-90 %) prevailing in the marble over the other minerals - dolomite is generally of minor importance (cca 10-20 %) in the rock - quartz, micas graphite, pyrite represent typical accessories. …”

Color, Structure, and Thermal Stability of Alginate Films with Raspberry and/or Black Currant Seed Oils by Jolanta Kowalonek, Bogna Łukomska, Aleksandra Szydłowska-Czerniak

“…The color of alginate films before and after the addition of oils from both fruit seeds was evaluated by measuring color coordinates in the CIELab color space: L* (lightness), a* (red-green), and b* (yellow-blue). The lightness values ranged between 94.21 and 95.08, and the redness values varied from −2.20 to −2.65, slightly decreasing for the films enriched with oils. …”

Deep Learning-Based Crack Monitoring for Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) by Dongling Wu, Hongxiang Zhang, Yiying Yang

“…Traditional crack monitoring based on concrete images uses image processing, which requires high image preprocessing techniques, and the results of detection are vulnerable to factors, such as lighting and noise. In this study, the full convolutional neural networks FCN-8s, FCN-16s, and FCN-32s are applied to monitoring of concrete apparent cracks and according to the image characteristics of concrete cracks and experimental results. …”
