Ductility and Strength Reduction Factors for Degrading Structures Considering Cumulative Damage by Edén Bojórquez, Sonia E. Ruiz, Alfredo Reyes-Salazar, Juan Bojórquez

“…While the reduction on ductility is established through the use of Park and Ang index, the suggestions given by Bojórquez and Rivera are used to model the degradation of the structural properties of the simple systems. Target ductilities and their corresponding reduced strength reduction factors are established for five sets of ground motions; most of them are recorded in California. …”

Gamma Splines and Wavelets by Hannu Olkkonen, Juuso T. Olkkonen

“…We prove that the gamma splines obey the two-scale equation based on the polyphase decomposition. to introduce the shift invariant gamma spline wavelet transform for tree structured subscale analysis of asymmetric signal waveforms and for systems with asymmetric impulse response. Especially we consider the applications in biomedical signal analysis (EEG, ECG, and EMG). …”

Model of Field Electron Emission from the Edge of Flat Graphene into Vacuum by N. A. Poklonski, A. I. Siahlo, S. A. Vyrko, S. V. Ratkevich, A. T. Vlassov

“…Graphene-based nanostructures are the promising materials for applications as electron emitters.The aim of the work is to study the field electron emission from the edge of a single graphene plane.In the semi-classical approximation, a model of field electron emission from the edge of a rectangular graphene sheet has been developed.The current density of field electron emission into vacuum from the edge of a flat graphene sheet was calculated depending on the magnitude of the pulling electric field strength.The analysis and comparison of limiting emission currents from graphene and from bulk systems have been carried out.The results of the work can be used in the development of graphene-based field effect cathodes.…”
