The mean square respond of the system is Obtained under different parametric variations. The effectiveness of main parameters and the torsional component during an earthquake is quantified with the help of the response ratio and the root mean square response with and without base isolation. It is observed that the base isolation has considerable influence on the response and the effect of the torsional component is not ignored.展开更多

Massive obstacles are frequently presented by the colossal amounts of acoustic information and the incredibly quick processing times. This results in the need for applications and methodologies that are capable of automatically analyzing these contents. These technologies can be applied in automatic contentanalysis and emergency response systems. Breaks in manual communication usually occur in emergencies leading to accidents and equipment damage. The audio signal does a good job by sending a signal underground, which warrants action from an emergency management team at the surface. This paper, therefore, seeks to design and simulate an audio signal alerting and automatic control system using Unity Pro XL to substitute manual communication of emergencies and manual control of equipment. Sound data were trained using the neural network technique of machine learning. The metrics used are Fast Fourier transform magnitude, zero crossing rate, root mean square, and percentage error. Sounds were detected with an error of approximately 17%;thus, the system can detect sounds with an accuracy of 83%. With more data training, the system can detect sounds with minimal or no error. The paper, therefore, has critical policy implications about communication, safety, and health for underground mine.展开更多

It determines the stability or, a little beyond, the number of unstable roots of a polynomial in terms of the signs of certain entries of the Routh table constructed from the coefficients of the polynomial. The use of the Routh table, as far as the common textbooks show, is only limited to this function. We will show that the Routh table can actually be used to construct an orthonormal basis in the space of strictly proper rational functions with a common stable denominator. This orthonormal basis can then be used for many other purposes, including the computation of the H2 norm, the Hankel singular values and singular vectors, model reduction, H∞ optimization, etc. Keywords Routh stablity criterion - Orthonormal basis - Root-mean-squared value - Hankel operater - Nehari problem - Model reduction This work was supported by the Hong Kong Research Grants Council.展开更多
