The sensitivity of the electromechanical impedance to structural damage under varying temperature is investigated in this paper. An approach based on maximizing cross-correlation coefficients is used to compensate temperature effects. The experiments are carried out on an air plane conform carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) panel (500mm x 500mm x 5mm) instrumented with 26 piezoelectric transducers of two different sizes. In a first step, the panel is stepwise subjected to temperatures between-50 °C and 100 °C. The influence of varying temperatures on the measured impedances and the capability of the temperature compensation approach are analyzed. Next, the sensitivity to a 200 J impact damage is analyzed and it is set in relation to the influence of a temperature change. It becomes apparent the impact of the transducer size and location on the quality of the damage detection. The results further indicate a significant influence of temperature on the measured spectra. However, applying the temperature compensation algorithm can reduce the temperature effect at the same time increasing the transducer sensitivity within its measuring area. The paper concludes with a discussion about the trade-off between the sensing area, where damage should be detected, and the temperature range, in which damage within this area can reliably be detected.

This paper presents the results of several studies concerning the effect of temperature on digital cameras. Experiments were performed using three different camera models. The presented results conclusively demonstrate that the typical camera design does not adequately take into account the effect of temperature variation on the device’s performance. In this regard, a modified camera design is proposed that exhibits a highly predictable behavior under varying ambient temperature and facilitates thermal compensation. A novel temperature compensation method is also proposed. This compensation model can be applied in almost every existing camera application, as it is compatible with every camera calibration model. A two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) application of the proposed compensation model is also described. The results of the application of the proposed compensation approach are presented herein.

In MEMS closed-loop accelerometer, excitation voltage is an important design parameter that is related to many performance indexes, and the bias temperature coefficient is a key point for MEMS accelerometer. But the effect of excitation voltage on bias temperature coefficient is not clear and their relation has not yet been established. This paper studies the effect of excitation voltage on bias temperature coefficient of MEMS sandwich accelerometer. The mechanism of their relation is point out, and experiments of bias temperature drift with different excitation voltages are carried out. The measured results show that the excitation voltage influences the bias temperature coefficient of MEMS sandwich accelerometer greatly, and the frame of sensor structure is the main source of bias temperature drift in MEMS sandwich accelerometer. This paper is also helpful for researchers to further understand the source of bias drift in MEMS sandwich accelerometer and make corresponding improvement.

This paper focuses on the problem of nonfragile guaranteed cost control for a class of T-S discrete-time fuzzy bilinear systems (DFBS) with time-delay in both states and inputs. Based on the parallel distributed compensation approach, the sufficient conditions are derived such that the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable and the closed-loop performance is no more than a certain upper bound in the presence of the additive controller gain perturbations.
