Aberration Effects of Planar Layers in Near-Field Multistatic Millimeter-Wave Imaging by Hakseok Ko, Mooseok Jang

“…Furthermore, based on the simulation results, we provide the relation between the thickness and refractive indices of aberrating layers and the positional error and brightness reduction in a reconstructed image. The presented simulator and theoretical analysis would provide a basis for further research on the aberration effects in millimeter-wave imaging for objects concealed within a thick and heterogenous medium.…”

Fracture precursor phenomena in marble specimens under uniaxial compression by means of Acoustic Emission data by Dimos Triantis, Stavros K. Kourkoulis

“…Marble specimens are subjected to a specially designed stepwise loading protocol, in an attempt to detect fracture precursor phenomena taking advantage of Acoustic Emission (AE) data. The analysis is carried out in terms of the number of acoustic hits recorded and the time evolution of the improved b-value (Ib-value), the cumulative energy of the acoustic signals and the F function. …”
