Abstract:

Methods and systems for simulating acoustic field resulted from particular excitations by performing vibro-acoustic analysis of a structure are disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, vibro-acoustic analysis of a structure is performed in two stages. First, steady state dynamic (SSD) responses are obtained using a finite element analysis model of a structure subject to harmonic excitations (e. g. , external nodal loads, pressures, or enforced motions (e. g. , ground motions), etc. ). The steady state responses are the results (e. g. , nodal velocities at desired locations of the structure) obtained in a finite element analysis in frequency-domain. Second, an acoustic analysis is conducted according to Helmholtz equation using the nodal velocities obtained at desired locations on the structure as a boundary condition. The acoustic analysis can be performed in a number of procedures (e. g. , boundary element method, Rayleigh approximation method, etc. ).

Abstract:

In accordance with some embodiments, advertisements may be inserted into ongoing content using predefined break points within that content. For example, the break points may be defined by times within the content and specify advantageous situations for the interruption of the ongoing content and the insertion of commercials. In some embodiments, conditions may be placed on the activities which may occur during the playback of commercials, including the disabling of fast forwarding. In addition, commercials may be automatically inserted in the predetermined content break point based on user provided criteria. In some embodiments, the user criteria may be applicable generally to all assets and, in other cases, the user criteria may be specific to a particular asset, but, in both cases, in some embodiments, the advertisements may be populated within the content automatically.

Abstract:

Various methods, systems, and computer program products are disclosed for communicating location-based digital components to a mobile and other devices. A natural language processor component can parse an input audio signal to identify a request and a keyword. A content selector can select digital components based on keyword and request. An audio signal generator component can generate an output signal that includes a selected digital components. An interface can transmit the output signal to cause a client computing device to drive a speaker to generate an acoustic wave corresponding to the output signal prior to occurrence of at least one of the first action and the second action.

Abstract:

Methods and systems for determining crack propagation length using a technique based on acoustic signature are disclosed. An acoustic signature is measured and recorded at a first location via acoustic wave generated by structural vibrations caused by a harmonic loading with predefined magnitude acted at a second location on the structure. Structure contains an unknown length of crack propagation inside. Unknown length is determined by comparing the measured and recorded acoustic signature with numerically-computed acoustic signatures stored in a database, which contains at least one relationship of the numerically-computed acoustic signatures versus respective crack propagation lengths at various stages of numerically-simulated crack propagation trajectory. Numerically-computed acoustic signatures are obtained by conducting a numerical time-marching simulation for obtaining a numerically-simulated crack propagation trajectory, and by conducting a SSD analysis and a vibro-acoustic analysis of the structure for obtaining the numerically-computed acoustic signatures at various stages of the numerically-simulated crack propagation trajectory.

Abstract:

FEA model representing a metal object subjected to expected random vibration loadings during a predefined time period is received. Structural dynamic characteristics and responses of the FEA model are obtained. Cumulative damage ratios of all finite elements are computed using the obtained structural dynamic responses along with a S-N curve for the metal object, and predefined time period. Time and location of fatigue failure in the FEA model are determined by identifying which one of the finite elements fails first. The identified failed finite element's cumulative damage ratio reaches unity first. The FEA model is revised by removing the identified failed finite element. Then the revised FEA model is used for repeating the process of identifying another fatigue failure until the determined time of fatigue failure has passed the predefined time period. All identified failed finite elements represent simulated fatigue crack propagation.
