On nonlocal regularization in one dimensional finite strain elasticity and plasticity

The purpose of this article is to explore in details the theoretical and numerical aspects of the behavior of spatial trusses, undergoing large elastic and/or elastoplastic strains. Two nonlocal formulations are proposed in order to regularize the problem, avoiding the mesh dependence of the numerical response. The classical example of a simple bar in tension is chosen to explore the various features of the proposed models and to highlight the interplay between material and geometrical nonlinearity in the localization.Aknowledgement The financial support of FAPESP, a Brazilian research funding agency and of the italian miur, project prin 2003082105, are greatly appreciated.     

MOBILITY AIDED LOCALIZATION OF WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS WITH INACCURATE RANGE MEASUREMENTS

This paper studies the relationship between mobility, navigation and localization in the context of wireless sensor networks with mobile beacons. It is observed that mobility can aid in network node localization and that once localized, the network nodes can localize and track a mobile object and guide its navigation. A distributed kernel-based algorithm is proposed that enables the nodes to establish confident position estimates in the presence of ranging inaccuracies. The proposed approach features robustness with respect to range measurement inaccuracies, low complexity and distributed implementation, using only local information. Simulation validates our approach viable.     

Absolute localization for a mobile robot using place cells

This paper describes a method for absolute localization and environment recognition for an autonomous, sonar-equipped robot. The addition of an auto-associative memory to previously developed non-neural map making software results in a system that is capable of recognizing its environment and its position within the environment using remembered features and room geometry. In the prior system the robot used sonar to construct a metric map of an environment, but the map information had to be reconstructed each time the robot returned to an environment. We evaluated the system with a task that requires memory of the position of a goal that is not directly detectable by sonar.     

Power shifts in web-based translation memory

Web-based translation memory (TM) is a recent and little-studied development that is changing the way localisation projects are conducted. This article looks at the technology that allows for the sharing of TM databases over the internet to find out how it shapes the translator’s working environment. It shows that so-called pre-translation—until now the standard way for clients to manage translation tasks with freelancers—is giving way to web-interactive translation. Thus, rather than interacting with their own desktop databases as before, translators now interface with each other through server-based translation memories, so that a newly entered term or segment can be retrieved moments later by another translator working at a remote site. The study finds that, while the interests of most stakeholders in the localisation process are well served by this web-based arrangement, it can involve drawbacks for freelancers. Once an added value, technical expertise becomes less of a determining factor in employability, while translators lose autonomy through an inability to retain the linguistic assets they generate. Web-based TM is, therefore, seen to risk disempowering and de-skilling freelancers, relegating them from valued localisation partners to mere servants of the new technology.

Embedded electrode electrochemical noise monitoring of the corrosion beneath organic coatings induced by ac-dc-ac conditions

The degradation of urethane topcoat/epoxy primer systems used for military aircraft and industrial applications were monitored using the electrochemical noise method and measured with embedded electrodes. The degradation was induced by the ac-dc-ac method. The trend in the noise resistance parameter was consistent with the trend in the low frequency impedance modulus obtained from electrochemical impedance spectroscopy experiments. The localization index was not informative about the corrosion mechanism. However, the two shot noise parameters, average charge of event and event frequency, were able to characterize the corrosion process beneath the coating. There was a change from uniform corrosion to localized corrosion on the metal substrate associated with the aircraft coating as indicated by the decrease in frequency event as this coating failed. There was an increase in the charge per corrosion event of the substrate of the industrial coating indicating that the uniform corrosion occurring became more severe as the coating failed.
