A Data Transmission Method Using a Cyclic Redundancy Check and Inaudible Frequencies

This paper describes a data transmission method using a cyclic redundancy check and inaudible frequencies.The proposed method uses inaudible high frequencies from 18 k Hz to 22 k Hz generated via the inner speaker of smart devices.Using the proposed method,the performance is evaluated by conducting data transmission tests between a smart book and smart phone.The test results confirm that the proposed method can send 32 bits of data in an average of 235 ms,the transmission success rate reaches 99.47%,and the error detection rate of the cyclic redundancy check is0.53%.

Effect of Cyclic Loading Frequency on Undrained Behaviors of Undisturbed Marine Clay

Based on a series of cyclic triaxial tests, the effect of cyclic frequency on the undrained behaviors of undisturbed marine clay is investigated. For a given dynamic stress ratio, the accumulated pore water pressure and dynamic strain increase with the number of cycles. There exists a threshold value for both the accumulated pore water pressure and dynamic strain, below which the effect of cyclic frequency is very small, but above which the accumulated pore water pressure and dynamic strain increase intensely with the decrease of cyclic frequency for a given number of cycles. The dynamic strength increases with the increase of cyclic frequency, whereas the effect of cyclic frequency on it gradually diminishes to zero when the number of cycles is large enough, and the dynamic strengths at different frequencies tend to the same limiting minimum dynamic strength. The test results demonstrate that the reasons for the frequency effect on the undrained soil behaviors are both the creep effect induced by the loading rate and the decrease of sample effective confining pressure caused by the accumulated pore water pressure.

Experimental study on cyclic deformation properties of saturated Fujian sand at different loading frequencies

In this study,a series of undrained cyclic torsional shear tests were conducted to investigate the effect of cyclic loading frequency f on the pre-liquefaction(shearing contractive(SC)period and initial shearing dilative(ISD)period)and post-liquefaction(late shearing dilative(LSD)period)deformation properties of saturated Fujian sand.The secant shear modulus G and damping ratioλin the entire cyclic loading process,and the unloading tangent shear modulus G_(L1)and flow deformation tangent shear modulus GL2 in the ISD and LSD periods were adopted to quantitatively characterize the evolution of hysteresis loop with an increase in shear strain amplitude ca.The test results show that the effect of f on G of saturated Fujian sand in the SC period is not apparent.However,all the G-γ_(a),G_(L1)-γ_(a),and GL2-ca curves in the ISD and LSD periods showed a downward trend with an increase in f.This study also proposes a modified method for calculatingλto compensate for the analytical error caused by the non-closure of hysteresis loop.Compared with the classical curves that mainly applied in geotechnical engineering,theλfirst increases and then decreases with the increase ofγa.Furthermore,theλevaluated by the modified method is approximately 10%–15%more than theλevaluated by the traditional method when theλreaches its peak value.

Influence of cyclic frequency on oxidation behavior of K38 superalloy with yttrium additions at 1273 K

Cyclic oxidation test is a fundamental method to assess lifetime of materials in high temperature environment.Cycle length or cyclic frequency is one important variable in cyclic oxidation testing.In present work,cyclic oxidation tests were performed on cast K38 alloys with 0 wt.%,0.1 wt.%,and 0.5 wt.% yttrium additions at 1 273 K respectively.Two cyclic frequencies were used to investigate the influence of cycle length （1 h vs.20 h） on the high temperature oxidation behavior of superalloy.The results showed that the degradation of cast K38 alloy critically was dependent on the cyclic frequency.The yttrium addition was beneficial to reducing scale-growth rate,improving the scale adhesion and stress releasing,thereby increased the spallation resistance.It could be drawn that the effect of cyclic frequency was highly dependent on the scale adherence to the substrate.

An approach for parameter estimation of combined CPPM and LFM radar signal

In this paper, the problem of parameter estimation of the combined radar signal adopting chaotic pulse position modulation （CPPM） and linear frequency modulation （LFM）, which can be widely used in electronic countermeasures, is addressed. An approach is proposed to estimate the initial frequency and chirp rate of the combined signal by exploiting the second-order cyclostationarity of the intra-pulse signal. In addition, under the condition of the equal pulse width, the pulse repetition interval （PRI） of the combined signal is predicted using the low-order Volterra adaptive filter. Simulations demonstrate that the proposed cyclic autocorrelation Hough transform （CHT） algorithm is theoretically tolerant to additive white Gaussian noise. When the value of signal noise to ratio （SNR） is less than 4 dB, it can still estimate the intra-pulse parameters well. When SNR = 3 dB, a good prediction of the PRI sequence can be achieved by the Volterra adaptive filter algorithm, even only 100 training samples.
