Stress-strain modeling of concrete columns with localized failure: An...
Axially-loaded concrete columns with postpeak strain-softening suffer large inelastic deformation only in a localized failure zone, leading to nonuniform deformation along the height of the columns....

A modern class of Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) uses Deformable Membrane Wings (DMWs), wing comprising rigid or rigidizable structural elements providing stiffness and flexible membranes providing...
View ArticleFactors associated with crashes involving taxi owners and non-owners: A case...
Taxis experience a higher risk of a motor vehicle crash partly because of their much higher levels of exposure on the roads. Although several studies have been conducted to examine the factors...

Profession-derived competency standards are key determinants for curriculum and assessment in many professional university programmes. An Australian Learning and Teaching Council funded project used a...
View ArticleBernoulli filter for joint detection and tracking of an extended object in...
The problem is joint detection and tracking of a non-point or extended moving object, characterised by multiple feature points, which can result in detections. Owing to imperfect detection, only some...
View ArticleWeaving quantum optical frequency combs into continuous-variable hypercubic...
Cluster states with higher-dimensional lattices that cannot be physically embedded in three-dimensional space have important theoretical interest in quantum computation and quantum simulation of...

This work presents sequential Bayesian detection and estimation methods for nonlinear dynamic stochastic systems using measurements affected by three sources of uncertainty: stochastic, set-theoretic...
View ArticleCalibration of multi-target tracking algorithms using non-cooperative targets
Tracking systems are based on models, in particular, the target dynamics model and the sensor measurement model. In most practical situations the two models are not known exactly and are typically...
View ArticleModelling and performance analysis of a network of chemical sensors with...
The problem of environmental monitoring using a wireless network of chemical sensors with a limited energy supply is considered. Since the conventional chemical sensors in active mode consume vast...
View ArticleTarget tracking via multi-static doppler shifts
This article studies the problem of joint detection and tracking of a target using multi-static Doppler-only measurements. The assumption is that in the surveillance volume of interest a single...
