A new adaptive time-frequency (t-f) analysis and classification procedure is applied to impact acoustic signals for detecting hazelnuts with cracked shells and three types of damaged wheat kernels. Kernels were dropped onto a steel plate, and the resulting impact acoustic signals were recorded with a PC-based data acquisition system. These signals were segmented with a flexible local discriminant bases (F-LDB) procedure in the time-frequency plane to extract discriminative patterns between damaged and undamaged food kernels. The F-LDB procedure requires no prior knowledge of the relevant time or frequency indices of the impact acoustics signals for classification. The method automatically finds all crucial time-frequency indices from the training data by combining local cosine packet analysis and a frequency axis clustering approach, which supports individual time and frequency band adaptation. Discriminant features are extracted from the adoptively segmented acoustic signal, sorted according to a Fisher class separability criterion, post-processed by principal component analysis, and fed to a linear discriminant classifier Experimental results establish the superior performance of the proposed approach when compared to prior techniques reported in the literature or used in the field. The new approach separated damaged wheat kernels (IDK, pupal, and scab)from undamaged wheat kernels with 96%, 82%, and 94% accuracy, respectively. It also separated cracked-shell hazelnuts from those with undamaged shells with 97.1% accuracy. The adaptation capability of the algorithm to the time-frequency patterns of signals makes it a universal method for food kernel inspection that can resist the impact acoustic variability between different kernel and damage types.

Determination of cadmium using slotted quartz tube atom trap atomic absorption spectrometry and metal coatings Özcan Gurbetçioğlu, G. Pelin; Ataman, Osman Yavuz; Department of Chemistry (2010) Flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (FAAS) is a common technique for detecting metals and metalloids in environmental, biological and metallurgical samples. Although it is a rather old technique, it is still very reliable, simple to use and inexpensive. The technique can be used to determine the concentration of over 70 different metals in a solution. However, it has detection limits at mg/L levels. Some atom trapping methods have been developed to reach the detection limits of ng/mL levels. Slotted quartz...
Effect of impact modifier on the properties of poly (ethylene terephthalate)-organoclay nanocomposites Yılmazer, Ülkü; Alyamac, Elif (2006-11-30) The effects of component concentrations and addition order of the components, on the final properties of ternary nanocomposites composed of amorphous poly (ethylene terephthalate) matrix, organically modified clay, and an ethylene / methyl acrylate / glycidyl methacrylate (E-MAGMA) terpolymer were studied. All formulations were prepared by melt compounding of the components with a two-step mixing procedure in a corotating twin-screw extruder. Considering the X-Ray Diffraction, SEM, impact and strain at brea...
Identification of hydrocarbon microseepage induced alterations with spectral target detection and unmixing algorithms Soydan, Hilal; Koz, Alper; Düzgün, Hafize Şebnem (2019-02-01) Hydrocarbon micro and macro seeps alter chemical and mineral composition of the Earth's surface, providing prospects for detection with remote sensing tools. There have been several studies focusing on mapping these anomalies by utilizing ever evolving multispectral and hyperspectral imaging instruments, which has proven their capacity for mapping both hydrocarbons and hydrocarbon-induced alterations so far. These studies broadly comprise of methods like calculating band ratios, spectral angle mapping, spec...
Detection of low-velocity impact damage in glass/epoxy tubes by the penetrant method Doyum, Ahmet Bülent; Altay, B (1998-02-01) In this study, detection possibility of different types of defects produced as a result of low-velocity transverse impact loading on (+/-45 degrees(2), 90 degrees) S-glass and (+/-54 degrees(3), 90 degrees) E-glass fibre-reinforced epoxy tubular specimens were investigated. Visual inspection, water-washable red dye, water-washable fluorescent and post-emulsified fluorescent penetrant systems were utilised for damage detection. A test set-up was designed and manufactured for producing low-velocity transverse...
Characterization of ceramic pastes by an indentation hardness test BRISCOE, BJ; Özkan, Necati (1997-01-01) Certain material deformation properties of a typical alumina based ceramic paste system, including the hardness (a plastic yield characteristic), the elastic modulus, a plasticity index (a measure of the relative elastic-plastic response), and a mean flow stress, are obtained using an indentation hardness test. In order to compute these material properties a contact compliance procedure, in conjunction with an analysis based upon an adaptation of the Box-Cox curve fitting method for the compliance curve, ha...
