A new spatial coherence model and analytical coeffi cients for multi-support response spectrum combination

In this paper, a new spatial coherence model of seismic ground motions is proposed by a fitting procedure. The analytical expressions of modal combination （correlation） coefficients of structural response are developed for multi-support seismic excitations. The coefficients from both the numerical integration and analytical solutions are compared to verify the accuracy of the solutions. It is shown that the analytical expressions of numerical modal combination coefficients are of high accuracy. The results of random responses of an example bridge show that the analytical modal combination coefficients developed in this paper are accurate enough to meet the requirements needed in practice. In addition, the computational efficiency of the analytical solutions of the modal combination coefficients is demonstrated by the response computation of the example bridge. It is found that the time required for the structural response analysis by using the analytical modal combination coefficients is less than 1/20 of that using numerical integral methods.

Integrated importance measure for multi-state coherent systems of k level

To verify the effectiveness of the integrated importance measure （IIM） for multi-state coherent systems of k level, the definition and physical meaning of IIM are demonstrated. Then, the improvement potential and Δ-importance measures are generalized to multi-state coherent systems based on the system performance level, and the relationships between IIM and traditional importance measures are discussed. The characteristics of IIM are demonstrated in both series and parallel systems. Also, an application to an oil transportation system is given. The comparison results show that： （i） IIM has some useful properties that are not possessed by traditional importance measures; （ii） IIM is effective in evaluating the component role in multi-state systems when the component reliability and the failure rate are simultaneously considered.

MULTI-INVARIANCE ESPRIT-LIKE ALGORITHMS FOR COHERENT DOA ESTIMATION

Estimation of Signal Parameters via Rotational Invariance Technique(ESPRIT) algorithm can estimate Direction-Of-Arrival(DOA) of coherent signal,but its performance can not reach full satisfaction.We reconstruct the received signal to form data model with multi-invariance property,and multi-invariance ESPRIT algorithm for coherent DOA estimation is proposed in this paper.The proposed algorithm can resolve the DOAs of coherent signals and performs better in DOA estimation than that of ESPRIT-like algorithm.Meanwhile,it identifies more DOAs than ESPRIT-like algorithm.The simulation results demonstrate its validity.

A resistance formula for coherent multi-barrier structures

Using the Landauer formula and the quantum S-matrix scattering theory, we derive a resistance formula for multi-barrier structure under phase coherent transmission condition. This formula shows that when the transport is coherent, the potential wells of the structure are just like conductors contributing to the overall resistance. And because the resistance formula is derived based on the scattering theory, the barrier resistance will change with the number of scattering centres （i.e. the number of barriers） in the structure.

Multi-wavelength laser active coherent combination

A seed laser oscillating at different frequencies is proved to have the potential to mitigate the stimulated Brillouin scattering（SBS） effect in a fiber amplifier,which may increase the emission power of a coherent beam combination（CBC） system greatly.In this study,a basic mathematical model describing the multi-wavelength CBC is proposed on the fundamentals of CBC.A useful method for estimating the combination effect and analysing the feasibility and the validity of the multi-wavelength coherent combination is provided.In the numerical analysis,accordant results with four-wavelength four-channel CBC experiments are obtained.Through calculations of some examples with certain spectra,the unanticipated excellent combination effect with a few frequencies involved is explained,and the dependence of the combination effect on the variance of the amplifier chain length and the channel number is clarified.

Experimental study on spectrum and multi-scale nature of wall pressure and velocity in turbulent boundary layer

When using a miniature single sensor boundary layer probe, the time sequences of the stream-wise velocity in the turbulent boundary layer （TBL） are measured by using a hot wire anemometer. Beneath the fully developed TBL, the wall pressure fluctuations are attained by a microphone mechanism with high spatial resolution. Analysis on the statistic and spectrum properties of velocity and wall pressure reveals the relationship between the wall pressure fluctuation and the energy-containing structure in the buffer layer of the TBL. Wavelet transform shows the multi-scale natures of coherent structures contained in both signals of velocity and pressure. The most intermittent wall pressure scale is associated with the coherent structure in the buffer layer. Meanwhile the most energetic scale of velocity fluctuation at y＋ = 14 provides a specific frequency f9 ≈ 147 Hz for wall actuating control with Ret = 996.

Application of the third generation of coherent cube in recognizing faults and fractures

Three-dimensional coherent cube is an extremely effective new technique for interpreting seismic data. It has obvious advantages in many aspects compared with the conventional 3D data volume, such as recognizing faults and fractures, interpreting ancient channels, and edge detection of oil-gas reservoir. Coherent cube is to condense and extract information around a certain point in 3D data volume, and then highlight the original characteristics of the geologic body at this point. Therefore, in terms of its essence, coherent cube is a special seismic attribute cube and those points having rather small coherent value are related to the discontinuity of geologic body. In practical production, people often interpret horizontal slices or layer slices of coherent cube, and this provides advantageous foundations for resolving special problems in oil-gas exploration.……

Wigner function of coherent state of N components

In this paper, we study the Wigner function of coherent state of N components, especially two components and three components. This function consists of two terms： the Gaussian term and the interference term with the negativity. The first term comprises N Gaussian surfaces evenly centred on a circle of radius ｜β｜ = ｜α｜ with a separate angle of 2π/N, and the second term is composed of 1/2N（N - 1） Gaussian-cosine surfaces evenly centred in a circular region of radius ｜β｜ 〈 ｜α｜. Here, a is the eigenvalue of the annihilation operator α, and β is a variable in some complex space in which the Wigner function is defined. We have proved that the essential condition to eliminate the negativity of the Wigner function is that the mean photon count of the coherent state is equal to that of the Glouber coherent state.

Tiled-aperture coherent beam combining of two high-power fibre amplifiers

We demonstrate coherent beam combining of two tiled-aperture single-frequency fibre amplifiers with a total output power of 29.65 W by using the multi-dithering technique. The two laser beams are packaged closely by using free-space mirrors side by side into a tiled-aperture with a near-field fill factor of 62%. Active phase control of the amplifier is performed on commercially available digital lock-in amplifiers. Experimental results show that the power contained in the main-lobe in closed-loop is 1.72 times greater than that in open-loop, which is 86% for the ideal case. The fringe contrast of the far-field fringe pattern is as high as 80% when the system is in closed-loop. The beam quality of the combined beam is computed to he BQ = 1.48. The whole system in closed-loop performs well in a long-time observation.

DETECTION ON MICRO-DOPPLER EFFECT BASED ON LASER COHERENT RADAR

A laser coherent detection system of 1550 nm wavelength was presented, and experimen- tal research on detecting micro-Doppler effect in a dynamic target was developed. In the study, the return signal in the time domain is decomposed into a set of components in different wavelet scales by multi-resolution wavelet analysis, and the components are associated with the vibrational motions in a target. Then micro-Doppler signatures are extracted by applying the reconstruction. During the course of the final data processing frequency analysis and time-frequency analysis are applied to analyze the vibrationM signals and estimate the motion parameters successfully. The experimental results indicate that the system can effectively detect micro-Doppler information in a moving target, and the tiny vibrational signatures also can be acquired effectively by wavelet multi-resolution analy- sis and time-frequency analysis.

The spatial-temporal evolution of coherent structures in log law region of turbulent boundary layer

The spatial-temporal evolution of coherent structures （CS） is significant for turbulence control and drag re- duction. Among the CS, low and high speed streak structures show typical burst phenomena. The analysis was based on a time series of three-dimensional and three-component （3D-3C） velocity fields of the flat plate turbulent boundary layer （TBL） measured by a Tomographic and Time-resolved PIV （Tomo TRPIV） system. Using multi-resolution wavelet transform and conditional sampling method, we extracted the intrinsic topologies and found that the streak structures appear in bar-like patterns. Furthermore, we seized locations and velocity information of transient CS, and then calculated the propagation velocity of CS based on spatial-temporal cross-correlation scanning. This laid a foundation for further studies on relevant dynamics properties.

Target estimation using MIMO radar with multiple subcarriers

This paper analyzes the effect of waveform parame- ters on the joint target location and velocity estimation by a non- coherent multiple input multiple output （MIMO） radar transmitting multiple subcarriers signals. How the number of subcarriers in- fluences the estimation accuracy is illustrated by considering the joint Cramer-Rao bound and the mean square error of the maxi- mum likelihood estimate. The non-coherent MIMO radar ambiguity function with multiple subcarriers is developed and investigated by changing the number of subcarriers, the pulse width and the frequency spacing between adjacent subcarriers. The numerical results show that more subcarriers mean more accurate estimates, higher localization resolution, and larger pulse width results in a worse performance of target location estimation, while the fre- quency spacing affects target location estimation little.

Multi-subpulse process of large time-bandwidth product chirp signal

To prevent the long-time coherent integration and limited range window stumbling blocks of stretch processing and reduce computational complexity, a novel method called multi-subpulse process of large time-bandwidth product linear frequency modulating （ LFM ） signal （ i. e. chirp ） is proposed in this paper. The wideband chirp signal is split up into several compressed subpulses. Then the fast Fourier transform （FFT） is used to reconstruct the high resolution range profile （ HR- RP） in a relative short computation time. For multi-frame, pulse Doppler （PD） process is performed to obtain the two-dimension range-Doppler （R-D） high resolution profile. Simulations and field ex- perimental results show that the proposed method can provide high-quality target profile over a large range window in a short computation time and has the promising potential for long-time coherent in- tegration.

Propagation Properties of Multi-Hyperbolic Sine-Correlated Beams in Oceanic Turbulence

As a new partially coherent beam, the propagation properties of the multi-hyperbolic sine-correlated (MHSC) beams in turbulent atmospheres have been studied. But as another important medium, the propagation properties of MHSC beams in oceanic turbulence. This paper has studied these questions in detail. The analytical formulas of spectral density and degree of coherence for the propagation are derived and the numerical simulations are represented. It is found that the intensity patterns of MHSC beams will evolve from dark-hollow profiles into Gaussian profiles caused by oceanic turbulence and will degenerate more rapidly with stronger oceanic turbulence. In addition, the coherence region becomes larger with decreasing in the dissipation rate of turbulence kinetic energy in unit mass liquid or increasing in the relative intensity of temperature and salinity fluctuations, mean square temperature dissipation rate. We also find that the degree of coherence of MHSC beams with a higher-order N will decrease more slowly than those of hyperbolic sine-correlated (HSC) beams.
