Multispectral data compression through transform coding and block quantization

Transform coding and block quantization techniques are applied to multispectral aircraft scanner data, and digitized satellite imagery. The multispectral source is defined and an appropriate mathematical model proposed. The Karhunen-Loeve, Fourier, and Hadamard encoders are considered and are compared to the rate distortion function for the equivalent Gaussian source and to the performance of the single sample PCM encoder.

Damage growth in composite laminates with interleaves

The influence of placing interleaves between fiber reinforced plies in multilayered composite laminates is investigated. The geometry of the composite is idealized as two dimensional, isotropic, linearly elastic media made of a damaged layer bonded between two half planes and separated by thin interleaves of low extensional and shear moduli. The damage in the layer is taken in the form of a symmetric crack perpendicular to the interface and may extend up to the interface. The case of an H-shaped crack in the form of a broken layer with delamination along the interface is also analyzed. The interleaves are modeled as distributed shear and tension springs. Fourier integral transform techniques are used to develop solutions in terms of singular integral equations. An asymptotic analysis of the integral equations based on Muskhelishvili's techniques reveals logarithmically singular axial stresses in the half plane at the crack tips for the broken layer. For the H shaped crack, similar singularities are found to exist in the axial stresses at the interface crack tips in the layer and the half plane. The solution of the equations is found numerically for the stresses and displacements by using the Hadamard's concept of direct differentiation of Cauchy integrals as well as Gaussian integration techniques.

Postinstability Models in Dynamics

This paper is devoted to the concept of instability in dynamical systems with the main emphasis on orbital, Hadamard, and Reynolds instabilities. It demonstrates that the requirement about differentiability in dynamics in some cases is not consistent with the physical nature of motions, and may lead to unrealistic solutions. Special attention is paid to the fact that instability is not an invariant of motion: it depends upon frames of reference, the metric of configuration space, and classes of functions selected for mathematical models of physical phenomena. This leads to the possibility of elimination of certain types of instabilities (in particular, those which lead to chaos and turbulence) by enlarging the class of functions using the Reynolds-type transformation in combination with the stabilization principle: the additional terms (the so-called Reynolds stresses) are found from the conditions that they suppress the original instability. Based upon these ideas, a new approach to chaos and turbulence as well as a new mathematical formalism for nonlinear dynamics are discussed.
