MIMO Self-Encoded Spread Spectrum with Iterative Detection over Rayleigh Fading Channels by Shichuan Ma, Lim Nguyen, Won Mee Jang, Yaoqing (Lamar) Yang

“…Orthogonal space-time block-coded MIMO technique is employed to achieve spatial diversity, and the inherent temporal diversity in SESS modulation is exploited with iterative detection. Simulation results demonstrate that MIMO-SESS can effectively mitigate the channel fading effect such that the system can achieve a bit error rate of 10−4 with very low signal-to-noise ratio, from 3.3 dB for a 2×2 antenna configuration to just less than 0 dB for a 4×2 configuration under Rayleigh fading. …”

STUDY ON THE EFFECT OF RESIDUAL STRESS FIELD ON THE CRACK GROWTH RATE OF CIVIL WELDED PLATE by CHEN YangLiu, SONG Xin, BAI ChengZheng, SHENG HongWei, ZHANG JiaZhen

“…In order to reduce the cost of fatigue crack growth test and shorten the research period of welding process on new aircraft siding structure,this paper uses Abaqus finite element software to simulate welding residual stress field by using predefined temperature field method.The stress intensity factor values of crack tip are obtained by finite element simulation.Based on the structural characteristics of large welded plate,the Pairs formula was used to predict the crack propagation rate of welded plate.Based on this model,the fatigue crack growth rate of specimens with different stress ratio and welding process was studied.It is found that the effective stress ratio increases with the residual stress,but the effect decreases with the increase of the stress ratio.The trend of the effective stress ratio is similar to that of the residual stress distribution.The welding residual stress increases the crack growth rate of the welded structure.The feasibility of the proposed method is verified by comparison with the experimental results.…”
