الوصف: Phononic crystals (PCs) consist of a periodic arrangement of inclusions in a matrix material, and have garnered a great deal of interest owing to a phenomenon known as band gap frequencies in which particular frequency ranges are not able to propagate through the PCs. The aim of this work is to study the effects of magneto-elastic coupling and other parameters such as randomness in geometrical properties, volume fraction and size of inclusions on longitudinal wave propagation and, in particular, on the appearance of stop-band frequencies. The results indicate that the most important parameters deciding whether a frequency is in a stop-band or a pass-band are the randomness in geometrical properties and piezomagnetic coupling. It was observed that piezomagnetic coupling can lead to a widening of the first stop-band range for a periodic microstructure. Moreover, while randomness in particle size leads to a stop-band range and reduced wave transmission in the second pass region, randomness in particle position leads to removal of the pass band ranges compared to periodic structures. Additionally, the influence of piezomagnetic coupling becomes insignificant in fully random structures.

الوصف: 物理層におけるセキュリティ技術の一つとして，空間選択性変調方式(SSM: Spatially selective Modulation)が提案されている．この方式では，チャネルの場所依存性を活用し適切に送信位相の設定を行うことで，所定位置に存在する正規受信局でのみ，所望の変調信号を受信することができる．本稿では，実際の室内環境における伝搬特性を，決定論的チャネルモデルであるレイトレーシングにより求める．解析により得られた特性から，計算機上でSSMを構築することで，室内環境における秘密伝送性能の評価を行い，想定環境下でのSSMの有効性を検証する．
As a physical layer security technique, we have proposed spatially selective modulation (SSM). In the method, properly controlling the phase of the transmitted signals allows only at the location of the legitimate receiver to receive the desired modulated signal. In this paper, the propagation characteristics in an indoor environment are calculated by the ray-tracing by which the performance of SSM for spatial geometry and the distribution of the transmitter and the receiver can be evaluated. Based on the characteristics obtained from the analysis, the secret transmission performance was evaluated, and the effectiveness of SSM was verified in the assumed environment.

الوصف: Driven by a wide range of essential applications, significant achievements are made to explore WiFi-based Human Activity Recognition (HAR) techniques that utilize the information collected by commercial off-the-shelf WiFi infrastructures to infer human activities without the need for subjects to carry any devices. Although existing WiFi-based HAR systems achieve satisfactory performance in some instances, they are faced with a severe challenge that the impacts of ubiquitous Co-channel Interference (CCI) on WiFi signals are inevitable. This downgrades the performance of these HAR systems significantly. To address this challenge, we propose PhaseAnti, a novel WiFi-based HAR system to exploit the CCI-independent phase component, Nonlinear Phase Error Variation (NLPEV), of WiFi Channel State Information to cope with the negative effects of CCI. The stability of NLPEV data and the sensibility of this component to motions are rigorously analyzed. Furthermore, validated by extensive properly designed experiments, this phase component across subcarriers is invariant under various CCI scenarios while sufficiently distinct for different motions. Therefore, the NLPEV data can be used and processed effectively to perform HAR in CCI scenarios. Extensive experiments with various daily activities in different indoor rooms demonstrate the superior effectiveness and generalizability of the proposed PhaseAnti system under various CCI scenarios.

الوصف: IEEE 802.11ax is the standard for the new generation WiFi networks. In this paper, we formulate the problem of joint access point (AP) placement and power-channel-resource unit assignment for 802.11ax-based dense WiFi. The objective is to minimize the number of APs. Two quality-of-service (QoS) requirements are to be fulfilled: (1) a two-tier throughput requirement which ensures that the throughput of each station is good enough, and (2) a fault tolerance requirement which ensures that the stations could still use WiFi even when some APs fail. We prove that this problem is NP-hard. To tackle this problem, we first develop an analytic model to derive the throughput of each station under the OFDMA mechanism and a widely used interference model. We then design a heuristic algorithm to find high-quality solutions with polynomial time complexity. Simulation results under both fixed-user and mobile-user cases show that: (1) when the area is small (50 x 50 m2), our algorithm gives the optimal solutions; when the area is larger (80 x 60 m2), our algorithm can reduce the number of APs by 34.9-87.7% as compared to the Random and Greedy algorithms. (2) Our algorithm can always get feasible solutions that fulfill the QoS requirements.

الوصف: We describe an elastic wave propagation laboratory that enables a solid object to be artificially immersed within an extended (numerical) environment such that a physical wave propagation experiment carried out in the solid drives the propagation in the extended (numerical) environment and vice versa. The underlying method of elastic immersive wave experimentation for such a laboratory involves deploying arrays of active multicomponent sources at the traction-free surface of the solid (e.g. a cube of granitic rock). These sources are used to accomplish two tasks: (1) cancel outgoing waves and (2) emit ingoing waves representing the first-order interactions between the physical and extended domains, computed using, for example, a finite-difference (FD) method. Higher-order interactions can be built by alternately carrying out the processes for cancelling the outgoing waves and the FD simulations for generating the ingoing waves. We validate the proposed iterative scheme for realizing elastic immersive wave experimentation using 2-D synthetic wave experiments.

الوصف: The Semi-Analytical Finite-Element (SAFE) method represents one of the most established numerical approaches for predicting the propagation of elastic waves in one-dimensional structures of arbitrary cross-sections. Its implementation in the commercial finite-element software COMSOL Multiphysics has been proposed in recent years; however, it is limited to only the free wave propagation for computing dispersion curves. To overcome this limitation, this paper proposes an extension of this approach that combines COMSOL and its Livelink for Matlab tool. This enables the extraction from COMSOL of the assembled mass and stiffness SAFE matrices to solve problems of both free and forced wave propagation in the Matlab environment. The resulting customised software takes advantage of both the potential of commercial FE software and the power of Matlab without worrying about compatibility issues. A model of a simply supported plate strip and that of a more complex geometry are implemented to validate, respectively, the SAFE matrix extraction procedure and the implemented forced response formulation. The results agree well with corresponding analytical and numerical results validating the proposed implementation of the SAFE method.

الوصف: In VANETs, it is important to support fast and reliable multi-hop broadcast for safety-related applications. The performance of multi-hop broadcast schemes is greatly affected by relay selection strategies. However, the relationship between the relay selection strategies and the expected broadcast performance has not been fully characterized yet. Furthermore, conventional broadcast schemes usually attempt to minimize the waiting time difference between adjacent relay candidates to reduce the waiting time overhead, which makes the relay selection process vulnerable to internal interference, occurring due to retransmissions from previous forwarders and transmissions from redundant relays. In this paper, we jointly take both of the relay selection and the internal interference mitigation into account and propose a fast, reliable, opportunistic multi-hop broadcast scheme, in which we utilize a novel metric called the expected broadcast speed in relay selection and propose a delayed retransmission mechanism to mitigate the adverse effect of retransmissions from previous forwarders and an expected redundancy probability based mechanism to mitigate the adverse effect of redundant relays. The performance evaluation results show that the proposed scheme yields the best broadcast performance among the four schemes in terms of the broadcast coverage ratio and the end-to-end delivery latency.

الوصف: SUMMARY Secondary microseisms are caused by nonlinear interactions between ocean waves of approximately equal wavelengths and opposite propagation directions. This seismic forcing is evaluated using ocean sea-state hindcast data and further modulated by the bathymetric effect. The numerical ocean model provides a global activity representation of the secondary microseisms, from which we isolate major events. We backprojected teleseismic P-wave propagation into the Earth's mantle to validate these events as effective seismic sources. The ocean model provides spectral amplitude information for modelling microseisms generated seismic wavefield. A comparison of the backprojection for P and PP phases from observed and synthetic microseisms forcing indicates high reliability in the ocean model, at least for major sources. A combination of P and PP phases detected across a global network of stations enables global ocean coverage. We improve backprojection images even further by introducing a two-step stacking for the P phase to address the problem of unbalanced station distribution. Thresholds of microseisms events forces valuable for seismic imaging are determined by comparing backprojections and ocean models for the years 2015 and 2020. Finally, we extracted a catalogue of microseisms events every 3-hr from 1994 to 2020 from the ocean hindcast data set. This catalogue is an intriguing resource for future applications of interferometric imaging at large scale.

الوصف: As structures increase in complexity, in the use of high-performing materials and designs, their health assessment becomes increasingly challenging. Ultrasonic guided waves (UGWs) have shown to be very promising in the inspection of large (i.e. aerospace components) attenuating (i.e. composite materials) structures and have been successfully employed for damage detection in a variety of fields. The intrinsic complex nature of UGWs, due to their dispersive behavior, combined with the structural complexity of the applications, though, makes the interpretation of UGW inspections very challenging. Numerical simulations of UGW propagation become crucial to this end and have been addressed with fully numerical, semi-analytical and hybrid approaches. The capability of predicting UGW scattering can inform experimental testing in optimizing the sensitivity of UGW inspections to specific waveguides and defects, and in interpreting the acquired data for the non-destructive identification and quantification of damages. In this work, an improved computational tool for UGW scattering predictions is presented. The approach relies on the Global-Local method and leverages the efficiency of the semi-analytical finite element (SAFE) method and the parallelized implementation of the coupled solution. 2D applications of the Global-Local approach for UGW scattering predictions in composite structures over a wide range of frequencies will be presented, together with the demonstration of the improved computational performance. The computational efficiency promises feasible and reliable UGWs predictions in multi-layered complex assemblies and different damage scenarios, and enables virtual UGWs inspections and future integration in NDE testing.
