Simultaneous channel estimation and signal detection in wireless ultraviolet communications combating inter-symbol-interference (2018)
Journal Article
Wei, Z., Hu, W., Han, D., Zhang, M., Li, B., & Zhao, C. (2018). Simultaneous channel estimation and signal detection in wireless ultraviolet communications combating inter-symbol-interference. Optics Express, 26(3), 3260-3270. https://doi.org/10.1364/oe.26.003260

One primary challenge in wireless ultraviolet communications (UVCs) is the inter-symbol-interference (ISI), which may block the detection of current informative signal, especially when channel-related characteristics are unknown. In this paper, we pr... Read More about Simultaneous channel estimation and signal detection in wireless ultraviolet communications combating inter-symbol-interference.

Design of equivalent coils for anti- interference testing of heavy current transformers (2018)
Journal Article
Gao, Y., Zhao, W., Qu, K., Li, H., Shao, H., Wang, Q., & Huang, S. (2018). Design of equivalent coils for anti- interference testing of heavy current transformers. International Journal of Applied Electromagnetics and Mechanics, 56(2), 211-223. https://doi.org/10.3233/jae-170052

Heavy current transformers (HCTs) for large generators are intensively interfered by the stray magnetic field produced by heavy adjacent currents, and therefore, anti-interference testing is a crucial process to assure the robustness of HCT products....

Adaptive Sensing Schedule for Dynamic Spectrum Sharing in Time-varying Channel (2018)
Journal Article
Sun, M., Wang, X., Zhao, C., Li, B., Liang, Y., Goussetis, G., & Salous, S. (2018). Adaptive Sensing Schedule for Dynamic Spectrum Sharing in Time-varying Channel. IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, 67(6), 5520-5524. https://doi.org/10.1109/tvt.2018.2797318

Dynamic spectrum sharing is considered as one of the key features in the next-generation communications. In this correspondence, we investigate the dynamic tradeoff between the sensing performance and the achievable throughput, in the presence of tim...

Overcoming volumetric locking in material point methods (2018)
Journal Article
Coombs, W., Charlton, T., Cortis, M., & Augarde, C. (2018). Overcoming volumetric locking in material point methods. Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 333, 1-21. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cma.2018.01.010

Material point methods suffer from volumetric locking when modelling near incompressible materials due to the combination of a low-order computational mesh and large numbers of material points per element. Large numbers of material points per element... Read More about Overcoming volumetric locking in material point methods.

Earthquake Nucleation Size: Evidence of Loading Rate Dependence in Laboratory Faults (2018)
Journal Article
Guérin‐Marthe, S., Nielsen, S., Bird, R., Giani, S., & Di Toro, G. (2018). Earthquake Nucleation Size: Evidence of Loading Rate Dependence in Laboratory Faults. Journal of Geophysical Research. Solid Earth, 124(1), 689-708. https://doi.org/10.1029/2018jb016803

Recent GPS observations of major earthquakes such as the 2014 Chile megathrust show a slow pre‐slip phase releasing a significant portion of the total moment (Ruiz et al., 2014). Despite advances from theoretical stability analysis (Rubin & Ampuero,... Read More about Earthquake Nucleation Size: Evidence of Loading Rate Dependence in Laboratory Faults.
