Landslide displacement prediction is a challenging task. In this paper, a hybrid model based on Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) and Long Short-Term Memory neural network (LSTM) is proposed to predict landslide displacement. The VMD method is used to decompose the cumulative displacement data of landslides and the time series of environmental impact factors (reservoir water level, rainfall), a...Show More

Quay cranes play a vital role in port operations. The dynamic loads encountered during operation can cause vibrations and impact forces on the crane, increasing the danger of fatigue damage and structural failure. As a result, the accurate estimation of the crane's dynamic response and impact factor is vital and usually beyond specifications. This study proposes a novel approach that uses image pr...Show More
The control of input displacement power factor independent of the load power factor is one of the advantages of a three phase to three phase Matrix Converter. An input current filter is normally used to filter out the unwanted distortion components of the input current drawn from the ac power supply. This input current filter introduces an undesirable leading phase shift in the input current even ...Show More
Basal and superficial displacements of two landslides in overconsolidated clayey soils are being monitored by inclinometers and GPS since 2005, and in some parts of the slope since the 1990s. The mostly North-South (N-S) orientation of the landslide displacements makes monitoring by satellite interferometry a challenging problem. To solve it, COSMO-SkyMed Differential Interferometric Synthetic Ape...Show More

Eddy-current (EC) displacement sensors are used in a device for measuring the shaft vibration of turbines. An EC displacement sensor is composed of a sensor probe and an impedance/output voltage (Z/V) converter.
