Waveshift Augmentation: A Physics-Driven Strategy in Fine-Grained Plant Disease Classification by Gent Imeraj, Hitoshi Iyatomi

“…Our methodology involves applying Waveshift augmentation to a large-scale fine-grained private plant dataset (tomato, strawberry, cucumber, and eggplant) and several public datasets, complemented by geometric transformations and contemporary techniques such as CLAHE, AugMix, and RandAugment. The results demonstrate that Waveshift augmentation achieves significant improvements in diagnostic performance, with notable macro F1 score gains across different backbone architectures including EfficientNetV2 (1.37 points), Swin Transformer (1.35 points), and ConvNeXt (0.80 points). …”

The notch effect on fracture of polyurethane materials by T. Voiconi, R. Negru, E. Linul, L. Marsavina, H. Filipescu

“…The asymmetric semi-circular bend specimen was adapted to perform mixed mode fracture toughness tests. This semi-circular specimen with radius R, which contains an edge crack of length a oriented normal to the specimen edge, loaded with a three point bending fixture, was proved to give wide range of mixed modes from pure mode I to pure mode II, only by changing the position of one support. …”
