Pipe whip is a safety related issue for nuclear power and chemical plants, where pipes are often used to transport fluids at high pressure and high temperature. Experiment works for empty pipe and liquid filled pipe are needed in this study. The model was made of simple pipe whip system which enables the missile pipe to hit the target pipe at an an

The safety of pipe whip is related issue for nuclear power and chemical plants, where pIpes are often used to transport fluids at high pressure and high temperature. Simulation analysis for empty pipe and liquid filled pipe are conducted in this study. The model was made of simple pipe whip system which enables the missile pipe to hit the target pi

LS-DYNA is one of the best explicit finite element application software made by Livermore Software Technology Corporation (LSTC) which is used by engineers to predict impact, crash, and explosions scenarios. Vibrations, fluid flow, fluid structure interaction and many more engineering problems can be solved by using LS-DYNA. Present book guides the

In the present research work a 100 mm long copper pipe segment with a 1 mm wall thickness is subjected to a drop weight impact by a conical shaped steel indenter with varying nose angles but constant mass. The impact velocity of the indenter was kept constant so that the kinetic energy available at impact was same for all cases. The effect of inden

The main area of speech coding standards is digital telephone, cellular mobile digital radio, and satellite fixed, and mobile system. Various digital speech coding standards which are currently in use and others are being developed for such applications. Most of these standards are International Telecommunication Union (lTU) based recommendations,

All communication channels transmit infonnation fonn one user to another using channel bandwidth mostly measured in bits/second. With the advent of latest technological tools, the bandwidth efficiency of all the channels may be enhanced beyond their normal transmission capability; mean more bits can be transmitted through the same channel. Techniqu

In recent years much work has be concentrated on encoding speech. Various coding methods are developed such as Low-Delay Codebook Excited Linear Prediction (LD-CELP), Codebook Excited Linear Prediction (CELP), Pulse Residual Excited Linear Prediction (PRELP) and others. These encoders operate at very low bit rates (4.8Kbps) as well as maintained sp

Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) is a mathematical (signal processing) technique used to remove the redundancy from speech signals. To remove the redundancy from speech signal, is done in 1\vo stages, first stage is to remove short term correlations form the signal and the second is to remove long term correlations. The short term and long term redun

The energy of speech frames can be one of the ways to express least significant frames. The energy is a frame of speech is a time domain measure, speech frames having lowver energy are correlated with low perception as well. In this chapter the 100vest sensitivity energy frames is detailed and that can be utilised for STDM intelligent architectures

The energy of speech frames and their usage has been experienced in STDM architectures. Based upon this criterion the design of STOM architecture is experimented and results in terms of extra users and speech quality with 3% frame loss rate is presented in this chapterSTATISTICAL TIMEDIVISION MULTIPLEXING ARCHITECTURES AND DESIGN Editors Asadullah
