Quality of service and the DVB return channel via satellite (DVB-RCS) standard

This presentation describes the challenges in providing a DVB-RCS two-way Internet satellite system that supports multiple classes of service. It examines the interaction of the control-loop presented by the Radio Resource Management (RRM), defined by the SatLabs Forum, in relation to the ETSI/BSM IntServ Quality of Service (QoS) model. It...

New methods for dynamic mechanical systems under impulse process stochastic excitations

Some dynamic load (excitation) processes have a nature of a train of impacts, shocks, or short duration loads (general pulses) occurring at random time instants.

Optimizing synchronization in complex networks

There has been mounting evidence that a plethora of biological and technological networks possess a clustered structure, i.e., structure consisting of interconnected subnetworks, each with dense internal connections. As many system functions depend on synchronization, it is important to address how complex clustered networks can be best synchronized.

Dynamics of strongly Nonlinear coupled oscillators described by transient nonlinear normal modes

Ragged synchronizability of nonlinear oscillators

The industrial applications of lasers

Prof Jueptner has a long and distinguished record in optical metrology and laser-target interactions. His talk will be wide ranging from holography to laser welding.

Nonlinear normal vibration modes and their applications

Developments in single and multi-mode vortex-induced vibration

Bioactive composites for bone replacement

Non-uniqueness and non-smooth solutions in the mechanics of fibre-reinforced elastic materials

In this talk we study the finite deformation plane strain problem of azimuthal shear of a circular cylindrical tube of incompressible transversely isotropic elastic material. The preferred direction associated with the transverse isotropy lies in the plane under consideration and is disposed so as to preserve the cylindrical symmetry....
