CALCULATION AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE STRESS-STRAIN STATE OF ELEMENTS OF TECHNOLOGICAL SYSTEMS WITH USING OF THE METHOD OF FINITE ELEMENTS AND HOLOGRAPHIC INTERFEROMETRY

The work describes computational and experimental studies of the stress-strain state of elements of technological systems. The distribution of movements of individual surfaces is determined on the example of vice-type adjustable machine tools. In the course of experimental studies, normal displacements are determined from the pattern of stripes on the hologram. The components of the displacement vector in the plane of the investigated surfaces are determined by scanning speckle interferograms. The obtained distributions of the displacement components were compared with the distributions determined by the finite element method. Satisfactory convergence of the results of numerical and experimental studies has been confirmed. The constructed calculation models can be used for further studies of the behavior of the housings of vice-type devices under the action of complex loads. The advantage of the developed version of the calculation-experimental method of studying the stress-strain state is its direct focus on the verification of the calculation model. The basic results are the results of experimental studies in the form of patterns of interference bands. These pictures describe the distribution of displacement fields of points on the surfaces of the bodies under study. With this picture, which was obtained on a natural object, the pictures of displacement fields, which were obtained during calculations with the application of the finite element method, are compared. Numerically calculated pictures are modified depending on the boundary conditions that are applied, as well as on the characteristics of the finite element models that are being built. In order to determine adequate boundary conditions and acceptable variants of finite-element models, the functional of the discrepancy of the displacement distribution fields obtained, on the one hand, numerically, and on the other - experimentally, is minimized. This construction of the calculation model verification algorithm demonstrated its efficiency and effectiveness.

Study on the micro-Doppler separation method of bistatic inverse synthetic aperture radar targets with rotating parts based on complex variational mode decomposition

In bistatic inverse synthetic aperture radar (Bi-ISAR) imaging of targets with rotating components, the micro-Doppler effect generated by rotating components can produce interference bands in azimuth resolution, seriously affecting the imaging results and causing difficulties in target recognition. A unique Bi-ISAR target micro-Doppler separation method with rotating components is proposed by introducing the complex variational mode decomposition (CVMD) method. First, the echo signal is decomposed into different intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) by CVMD for the Bi-ISAR imaging target with rotating parts. Then, IMFs are divided into main and micromotion parts by setting the energy threshold. The IMFs belonging to the main part are extracted, and the imaging is performed using the range-Doppler algorithm. The simulation results show that CVMD outperforms the complex empirical mode decomposition algorithm and the complex local mean decomposition algorithm in the Doppler separation of Bi-ISAR targets with rotating components. In addition, CVMD exhibits good robustness and provides innovative ideas for future research on micro-Doppler separation technology.

Application of UV-Vis Optical Spectroscopy and X-ray Diffraction Methods to Describe the Effect of Alpha-Emitting Radionuclides (Radon) When They Are Detected by Solid-State Film Detectors.

This work aims to evaluate the application of optical and X-ray spectroscopy methods to determine the effect of alpha-emitting radionuclides on the properties of solid-state nuclear track detectors (SSNTD) based on nitrocellulose during their detection. The proposed estimation methods are alternative methods to standard technologies, making it possible to determine the concentration of radon and its decay products without the chemical etching of film detectors and subsequent direct counting of the formed latent tracks from interacting particles. During the research, it was found that the use of optical spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction methods makes it possible to qualitatively determine the irradiation effect on changes in the properties of film detectors when α-particles with different energies pass through them. At the same time, a comparison of the data of optical spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and the visualization of latent tracks after chemical etching made it possible to establish that a part of the registered α-particles in living quarters has an energy of less than 2.5 MeV, which is not enough to pass through the polymer film of the detector, as a result of which well-like tracks are formed. An increase in the intensity of the interference bands in the region above 700 nm and a decrease in the intensity of diffraction reflection characterized the changes in optical transmission. The penetration of the α-particles through the detecting film decreases the film’s transmission capacity, forming an anisotropic change in diffraction reflections associated with a change in the film’s structure and defective fractions distorting the molecular structure.

Point-of-care Vis-SWNIR spectroscopy towards reagent-less hemogram analysis

Current chemometrics and artificial intelligence methods are unable to deal with complex multi-scale interference of blood constituents in visible shortwave near-infrared spectroscopy point-of-care technologies. The major difficulty is to access the rich information in the spectroscopy signal, unscrambling and interpreting spectral interference to provide analytical quality quantifications. We present a new self-learning artificial intelligence method for spectral processing based on the search of covariance modes with direct correspondence to the Beer-Lambert law. Dog and cat hemograms were analyzed by impedance flow cytometry and standard laboratory methods (erythrocytes counts, hemoglobin, and hematocrit). Spectral records were performed for the same samples. The methodology was benchmarked against state-of-the-art chemometrics: a multivariate linear model of hemoglobin bands, similarity, partial least squares, local partial least squares, and artificial neural networks.The new method outperforms the state-of-the-art, providing analytical quality quantifications according to desired veterinary pathology guidelines (total errors of 1.69% to 7.14%), whereas chemometric methods cannot. The method finds relevant samples and spectral information that hold the quantitative information for a particular interference mode, in contrast to the current methods that do not hold a relationship with the Beer-Lambert law. It allows the interpretation of interference bands used in quantification, providing the capacity to determine if the composition of an unknown sample is predictable. This research is especially relevant for improving current optical point-of-care technologies that are affected by spectral interference and moving towards micro-sampling and reagent-less technologies in healthcare and veterinary medicine diagnosis.

Investigation of compact dual port octagonal MIMO antenna with triple band rejection capabilities with good isolation

This papers focuses to investigate a 35mm*60mm*1.6mm novel dual port MIMO antenna with triple notch rejection capabilities that exhibits good isolation performances. An Octagonal radiating patch is incorporated with defected ground structure and relevant slots in the radiator. Two slots and DGS contribute for the rejection capabilities of potential interference bands like WIMAX,WILAN, and X band in the ultra-wide band region of the designed antenna. Further to improve its performance, the antenna is modified as dual port MIMO which experiences mutual coupling. A strip line is introduced above the radiating patches in the substrate to obstruct the surface waves and to reduce the mutual coupling between the radiating elements. Crucial parameters like mutual coupling and the diversity gain are analyzed and are found to be promising. The proposed variant’s impedance bandwidth spans from 1.5 GHz to 9.05 GHz.

Numerical study on spatial scale characteristics of sound scattering by a static isentropic vortex

The scattering of acoustic waves by a vortex is a fundamental problem of the acoustic waves propagation in complex flow field, which plays an important role in academic research and engineering application for sound source localization, acoustic target recognition and detection, the far field noise prediction, such as aircraft wake vortex identification, detection and ranging, acoustic target forecasting in turbulent shear flow, acoustic measurement and sound source localization in wind tunnel test, etc. The nonlinear scattering phenomenon occurs when acoustic wave passes through the vortex, which is mainly related to the length-scale ratio between the wavelength of acoustic wave and the core radius of the vortex. In this paper, a plane acoustic wave passing through a stationary isentropic vortex is numerically simulated by solving a two-dimensional compressible, unsteady Euler equation. A sixth-order linear compact finite difference scheme is employed for spatial discretization. Time integration is performed by a four-stage fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. The eighth-order spatial compact filter scheme is adopted to suppress high frequency errors. At the far field boundaries, buffer layer is applied to handle the outgoing acoustic wave. Under the matching condition, the accuracy of the numerical results is verified by comparing with the previous direct numerical simulation results. The acoustic scattering cross-section method is introduced to analyze the effects of different length-scale ratio on the acoustic pulsation pressure, acoustic scattering effective sound pressure and acoustic scattering energy. Scattering occurs when sound waves pass through the vortex, the acoustic field in front of the vortex is basically unaffected, and the acoustic wave front remains intact. A “vacuum” region is formed slightly below the acoustic field directly behind the vortex, and two primary interference bands and several secondary interference bands are formed on the upper and lower sides of the vortex. As the length-scale ratio increases, the sound scattering decreases and the influence of the vortex flow field on the acoustic field gradually weakens. The influence region of effective sound pressure of acoustic scattering is mainly concentrated behind the vortex. With the increase of the length scale ratio, the influence gradually increases and extends to the upstream, and then the influence region gradually decreases to the vicinity of the vortex. When the length scale ratio is greater than or equal to 6, the location of the maximum effective sound pressure of sound scattering jumps from the upper right to the lower right of the vortex. The influence of acoustic wave wavelength change on the acoustic scattering energy can be divided into three parts. With the increase of the length scale ratio, the maximum sound scattering energy presents four different stages.

A Miniaturized MIMO Antenna With Triple Band-Notched Characteristics for UWB Applications

In this paper, a novel compact four-element ultra-wideband (UWB) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna with triple band-notched characteristics is proposed. The proposed antenna is composed of four slot antenna elements with a common rhombic slot, each feeding by a microstrip-fed line to greatly reduce the overall size of the antenna. It has a compact size of 34 mm <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\times34$ </tex-math></inline-formula> mm <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\times1.6$ </tex-math></inline-formula> mm. The high isolation and polarization diversity are achieved by placing the four microstrip-fed lines perpendiculars to each other, while a parasitic strip is employed as a decoupling structure between adjacent microstrip-fed lines to further improve isolation. Moreover, the proposed antenna can achieve triple band-notched characteristics by embedding L-shaped and C-shaped slots on each radiator and loading electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structures next to micro-strip feeders respectively. As a result, the proposed antenna obtains three notched bands of 3.3-3.9 GHz, 5-6 GHz, and 7.4-8.5 GHz, which are in good agreement with the interference bands of WiMAX (3.3-3.7 GHz), WLAN (5.15-5.875 GHz) and X-band (7.3-8.5 GHz), respectively. The antenna prototype has been fabricated and measured. The results show that the antenna has an impedance bandwidth of 2.5-12 GHz (except for the three notched bands). Besides, the isolation among the elements, envelope correlation coefficient, radiation characteristics, efficiency, realized gain, and total active reflection coefficient are also investigated. The experimental results indicate that the proposed antenna can be a good candidate for UWB-MIMO wireless communication applications.

Crisscross-Shaped ±45° Dual-Polarized Antenna With Enhanced Bandwidth for Base Stations

In this communication, a ±45° dual-polarized antenna for 690-960 MHz base station applications is proposed. The proposed antenna has a crisscross-shaped radiator which is fed by four triangular-shaped couplers. The ±45° dual polarization is achieved by vector synthesis of the currents on the radiator. To further broaden the impedance bandwidth (IBW), a miniaturized lowpass filter is designed and integrated with the baluns of the proposed antenna. With the lowpass filter, a new resonance is introduced and harmonic suppression is also realized. The experimental results which agree with the simulations show that wide harmonic suppression bandwidth which can cover the interference bands (1.69-2.69 GHz and 3.3-3.8 GHz) is obtained. In the operating frequency band (690-960 MHz), a voltage standing-wave ratio (VSWR) of less than 1.5, a polarization isolation (ISO) of more than 35 dB, a half-power beamwidth (HPBW) of 66.8° ± 1.5°, and the gains of 8.3 dBi ± 0.2 dBi are obtained by the proposed antenna.

Dual‐polarized filtering antenna with harmonic suppression for base station applications

AbstractA dual‐polarized filtering antenna (DPFA) with high‐order harmonics suppression for 690‐960 MHz based station applications is proposed in this letter. The proposed DPFA is obtained by integrating a miniaturized lowpass filter with a ±45° dual‐polarized antenna (DPA) which made by two crossed dipoles. With the miniaturized lowpass filter, harmonic suppression is easily achieved by the proposed DPFA without increase its size. The experimental results which agree with the computer simulations show that wide impedance bandwidth (|S11| &lt; −15 dB) of 43.2% (690‐1070 MHz) and harmonic suppression frequency up to 4.5 GHz are realized. In the operating frequency band (690‐960 MHz), port‐to‐port isolation of more than 35 dB, cross‐polarization discrimination of more than 27 dB, 3‐dB beamwidth of 68.8° ± 2.1°, efficiency of more than 82%, and stable gain of 8.2 ± 0.5 dBi are obtained by the proposed DPFA. In addition, radiation suppression of more than 18 dB in the interference bands (1690‐2690 MHz and 3300‐3800 MHz) is obtained.

Сдвиговый спекл-интерферометр с квадролинзой

The paper proposes a new optical element – Quad lens, which is used as part of a shearing speckle interferometer (sherograph) to provide measurements of stress-strain states of objects simultaneously in two mutually perpendicular directions. Quad lens consists of four identical sections cut from the original round lenses and spaced from each other to form a gap. Quad lens creates four images of an object that are offset relative to the optical axis by a distance that depends on the size of the gaps between the sectors. Phase recovery from a single speckle interferogram is performed using the spatial phase shift method based on the Fourier transform. To increase the contrast of interference bands, an aperture diaphragm with four holes is installed in front of quad lens sectors, and polarizing channel isolation can be used to separate channels and reduce the influence of cross interference. Experimental results of using a speckle interferometer with quad lens for the study of microdeformation of a round membrane are presented.

Determination of stresses in truss rods: numerical and physical experiment

The paper presents the results of an experimental numerical study of the stress state of the rods of a flat truss. The values of internal forces and stresses in the truss model were obtained using the SCAD software package, as well as experimentally using the polarization-optical method. The finite element method (FEM) is used to calculate two plane truss models. In the first case, the truss was modeled by rod elements, in the second – by plates. The fields of normal, tangential and principal stresses are obtained. Based on them the longitudinal internal forces in the rods of the farm are determined. The captins of interference bands in the model of a flat truss are obtained by the method of photoelasticity. Stresses are calculated with their help. The quantitative and qualitative analysis of the stress state, described in the numerical and physical experiment, is carried out.

Detection of malaria parasites in dried human blood spots using mid-infrared spectroscopy and logistic regression analysis

BackgroundEpidemiological surveys of malaria currently rely on microscopy, polymerase chain reaction assays (PCR) or rapid diagnostic test kits for Plasmodium infections (RDTs). This study investigated whether mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy coupled with supervised machine learning could constitute an alternative method for rapid malaria screening, directly from dried human blood spots.MethodsFilter papers containing dried blood spots (DBS) were obtained from a cross-sectional malaria survey in 12 wards in southeastern Tanzania in 2018/19. The DBS were scanned using attenuated total reflection-Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectrometer to obtain high-resolution MIR spectra in the range 4000 cm−1 to 500 cm−1. The spectra were cleaned to compensate for atmospheric water vapour and CO2 interference bands and used to train different classification algorithms to distinguish between malaria-positive and malaria-negative DBS papers based on PCR test results as reference. The analysis considered 296 individuals, including 123 PCR-confirmed malaria positives and 173 negatives. Model training was done using 80% of the dataset, after which the best-fitting model was optimized by bootstrapping of 80/20 train/test-stratified splits. The trained models were evaluated by predicting Plasmodium falciparum positivity in the 20% validation set of DBS.ResultsLogistic regression was the best-performing model. Considering PCR as reference, the models attained overall accuracies of 92% for predicting P. falciparum infections (specificity = 91.7%; sensitivity = 92.8%) and 85% for predicting mixed infections of P. falciparum and Plasmodium ovale (specificity = 85%, sensitivity = 85%) in the field-collected specimen.ConclusionThese results demonstrate that mid-infrared spectroscopy coupled with supervised machine learning (MIR-ML) could be used to screen for malaria parasites in human DBS. The approach could have potential for rapid and high-throughput screening of Plasmodium in both non-clinical settings (e.g., field surveys) and clinical settings (diagnosis to aid case management). However, before the approach can be used, we need additional field validation in other study sites with different parasite populations, and in-depth evaluation of the biological basis of the MIR signals. Improving the classification algorithms, and model training on larger datasets could also improve specificity and sensitivity. The MIR-ML spectroscopy system is physically robust, low-cost, and requires minimum maintenance.

Automated Algorithm for Accurate Doppler Profile Detection of MST Radar Signals Considering Removal of Interference

Identifying the accurate radar echo returns from the MST (Mesosphere-Stratosphere–Troposphere) region poses serious challenges, as the radar echo signals are of very low amplitude and hidden in noise. The process of extraction of the relevant signal information becomes intricate when the spectra sometimes are infected with interference signals of non-atmospheric origin. An automated algorithm is suggested for eliminating the interference bands in the Doppler spectra of MST radar signals. The process of removal of interference and de-noising of the radar echoes using soft thresholding techniques was achieved simultaneously. The algorithm was practically applied to interference contaminated MST radar data taken from National Atmospheric Research Laboratory (NARL), Gadanki, Tirupati and studied for removal of interference bands. It was found that the projected algorithm effectively removes multiple interference bands and also improves signal detectability. The power and Doppler values (moments) are estimated using FFT and HHT (Hilbert Huang Transform) and median Doppler is plotted on Doppler power spectrum and compared.

Using mid-infrared spectroscopy and supervised machine-learning to identify vertebrate blood meals in the malaria vector, Anopheles arabiensis

BackgroundThe propensity of different Anopheles mosquitoes to bite humans instead of other vertebrates influences their capacity to transmit pathogens to humans. Unfortunately, determining proportions of mosquitoes that have fed on humans, i.e. Human Blood Index (HBI), currently requires expensive and time-consuming laboratory procedures involving enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) or polymerase chain reactions (PCR). Here, mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy and supervised machine learning are used to accurately distinguish between vertebrate blood meals in guts of malaria mosquitoes, without any molecular techniques.MethodsLaboratory-reared Anopheles arabiensis females were fed on humans, chickens, goats or bovines, then held for 6 to 8 h, after which they were killed and preserved in silica. The sample size was 2000 mosquitoes (500 per host species). Five individuals of each host species were enrolled to ensure genotype variability, and 100 mosquitoes fed on each. Dried mosquito abdomens were individually scanned using attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectrometer to obtain high-resolution MIR spectra (4000 cm−1 to 400 cm−1). The spectral data were cleaned to compensate atmospheric water and CO2 interference bands using Bruker-OPUS software, then transferred to Python™ for supervised machine-learning to predict host species. Seven classification algorithms were trained using 90% of the spectra through several combinations of 75–25% data splits. The best performing model was used to predict identities of the remaining 10% validation spectra, which had not been used for model training or testing.ResultsThe logistic regression (LR) model achieved the highest accuracy, correctly predicting true vertebrate blood meal sources with overall accuracy of 98.4%. The model correctly identified 96% goat blood meals, 97% of bovine blood meals, 100% of chicken blood meals and 100% of human blood meals. Three percent of bovine blood meals were misclassified as goat, and 2% of goat blood meals misclassified as human.ConclusionMid-infrared spectroscopy coupled with supervised machine learning can accurately identify multiple vertebrate blood meals in malaria vectors, thus potentially enabling rapid assessment of mosquito blood-feeding histories and vectorial capacities. The technique is cost-effective, fast, simple, and requires no reagents other than desiccants. However, scaling it up will require field validation of the findings and boosting relevant technical capacity in affected countries.

Rainbows in a vial: controlled assembly of 2D colloids in two perpendicular external fields

The ability to control the dynamics of self-assembly of anisotropic nanoparticles over multiple length scales by application of external fields is an important technological and fundamental challenge in colloidal science and soft condensed matter physics. Here we demonstrate the controlled assembly of two-dimensional (2D) colloidal liquid crystals under the influence of gravity and an external magnetic field. Due to the positive anisotropy of diamagnetic susceptibility (▵χ > 0), the colloidal nanoplates of monolayer zirconium phosphate could exhibit intriguing alignment with their normals parallel to the magnetic field, thus transforming the multi-domain nematic phase into a mono-domain superstructure. Interestingly, the quasi-equilibrium states of such 2D soft materials under the prolonged gravity-induced sedimentation were found to generate a rich pattern of interference color bands (referred to as rainbows in a vial) upon under the effect of an aligning magnetic field. The birefringence measurement of the resulting color bands suggested quadratically decreasing volume fraction with sample height. The osmotic pressure (П) as a function of nanoplate volume fraction (ϕ) is found to agree with the theoretical prediction of the equation of state of the nematic phase of hard nanoplates, with a positive deviation at higher volume fractions. To the best of our knowledge, such field-driven dynamic formation of rich interference color bands, imitating almost the full spectrum of Michel-Levy interference bands, which was a pure mathematical representation, is experimentally achieved for the first time in a single sample.

Compact UWB-MIMO Antenna With High Isolation and Triple Band-Notched Characteristics

A novel and high-performance four-element ultra-wideband (UWB) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna is proposed in the paper. The proposed antenna is designed by using a novel integration technology of the symmetric layout, orthogonal structure, four-directional staircase-shaped decoupling, and multi-slit and multi-slot techniques. The mutual couplings among the antenna elements are significantly reduced by introducing the symmetric orthogonal and separated four-directional staircase-shaped structure. Furthermore, the antenna size is effectively miniaturized, and its impedance bandwidth is broadened by using a two-sided symmetric layout, partial and defected ground structure, the decoupling structure, and multi-slot and multi-slit techniques. Therefore, the antenna has the low-profile structure and a small dimension of 39mm $\times 39$ mm $\times 1.6$ mm. Moreover, the proposed antenna achieves triple band-notched characteristics by embedding different type slots and slits on the square radiating elements, default ground structure, and the decoupling structure, respectively. As a result, the antenna obtains the wider bandwidth of 2.30–13.75 GHz with the notched bands of 3.25–3.75 GHz, 5.08–5.90 GHz, and 7.06–7.95 GHz. The three notched bands are good in agreement with the existing interference bands of WiMAX (3.3–3.7 GHz), WLAN (5.15–5.875 GHz), and ${X}$ -band (7.1–7.9 GHz), respectively. In addition, the proposed antenna also has a lower mutual coupling ( $\eta _{\mathrm {mux}}> -3.0$ dB), stable gain, and quasi-omnidirectional radiation patterns at the entire impedance bandwidth. Therefore, a good tradeoff of the performance is obtained for the proposed antenna. The proposed antenna can be a good candidate for UWB-MIMO wireless communication applications, and especially for portable UWB-MIMO systems.

Broadband Dual-Polarized Waveguide Slot Filtenna Array With Low Cross Polarization and High Efficiency

A broadband waveguide slot filtenna array with low cross polarization and high efficiency is presented for dual-polarization applications. The vertical polarization radiation is achieved by offsetting longitudinal slots on the ridged waveguide, while the horizontal polarization radiation is achieved by V-shaped slots on the ridged waveguide. Two polarization ridged waveguide linear arrays combine to obtain dual-polarized radiation with cross-polarization levels under −43 dB in wide angles. To extend the bandwidth of the array, each $1 \times 16$ -element linear array is separated into two $1 \times 8$ -element arrays, which are fed by a two-way ridged waveguide divider via H-shaped slot couplings. The evanescent-mode ridged waveguide filters are integrated into a two-way ridged waveguide divider that suppresses the out-of-band signal interference. The signals of the interference bands are suppressed effectively, which are −25 dB lower than that of the operation band. Furthermore, 16 pairs of dual-polarized linear arrays are designed, fabricated, and measured. The results show that the array has perfect properties such as bandwidth, polarization purity, efficiency, and immunity to interference.
