Determining the Viability of an Unbounded Polyhedron for a Switched System by Jianfeng Lv, Na Zhao

“…Then, a sufficient viability criterion for a polyhedron, which is expressed by a convex hull of finite number of extreme points and a nonnegative linear combination of finite extreme directions, is presented by using nonsmooth analysis. …”

Estimation of fretting fatigue life using a multiaxial stress-based critical distance methodology by F. C. Castro, J. A. Araújo, M. S. T. Pires, L. Susmel

“…The fatigue parameter is based on an improved formulation of the Modified Wöhler Curve Method, in which the shear stress amplitude is measured via the Maximum Rectangular Hull method. To apply the Theory of Critical Distances in the medium-cycle fatigue regime, the critical distance is assumed to depend on the number of cycles to failure. …”

Volatility characteristics and hyperspectral-based detection models of diesel in soils by Jihye Shin, Jaehyung Yu, Jihee Seo, Lei Wang, Hyun-Cheol Kim

“…Given the fact that this study is based on the largest number of samples with the longest observation period and models were developed excluding atmospheric absorption bands, the simple form of the spectral index makes it applicable to large-scale diesel pollution detection with hyperspectral scanners or narrow-band multispectral cameras in real-world cases.…”
