Corrugated webs have been used for composite prestressed concrete box girder bridges. Innovative steel plate girders using corrugated webs have been proposed. It has been found that analytical and experimental researches conducted to determine the strength of trapezoidally corrugated webs can fail with respect to three different buckling modes: local, global, and interactive shear buckling. Shear buckling capacity equations based on classical and orthotropic plate buckling theories have been proposed,but these equations show some differences. In this paper, geometric parameters that influence interactive shear buckling behavior with interaction effects are identified via extensive bifurcation buckling analysis using the finite element meth.

This work presents the free vibration characteristics of laminated composite corrugated rectangular plates using the analytical method. Because it is very difficult to determine its mechanical behavior of 3-dimensional corrugated structures analytically, the equivalent homogenization model is adapted to investigate the overall mechanical behavior of corrugated structures. The corrugated element can be homogenized as an orthotropic material. Both the effective extensional and flexural stiffness of this homogenized equivalent orthotropic material are considered in the analysis. The present analytical results are validated by those obtained from 3D finite element analysis based on shell elements. The natural frequencies and global vibration mode shapes obtained from present analytical and finite element analysis are presented. Some numerical results are presented to check the effect of the geometric properties.

원자로 건물 내부에는 원자로의 안전운전을 위한 다수의 계통, 구조물 및 기기들이 위치하고 있다. 원자로의 안전과 직결되는 안전계통 변수 (수위, 압력) 들은 경우에 따라서는 현장확인이 요구된다. 원자로 가동 중에 운전원에 의한 안전계통변수의 현장확인이 용이하도록 원자로 건물 내부의 출입구 (2 중문) 부근에 수위계, 압력계 등의 현장계기가 위치하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 일본의 (주) 동경전력이 공개한 후쿠시마 제 1 원자력발전소 1 호기 원자로건물의 IC (비상용 복수기, isolation condenser) 조사영상에 나타나는 현장계기의 영상인식에 대해 기술한다. 조사 영상의 분석에 의하면 현장계기들은 기계식의 아날로그 타입이다. 아날로그 타입의 기하구조를 이용하여 계기판 눈금을 인식하고, 계기판 바늘의 기울기 계산을 통해 계기판을 영상 판독할 수 있었다. 이러한 계기판의 영상판독은 후쿠시마 원전 사고와 같이, 고방사선 피폭 우려로 인해 사람대신에 로봇이 원자로 건물내부에 진입하여 주요 계통, 구조물 및 기기의 현장계기를 판독한다고 가정하면, 유용한 기능이다.

Automatic vehicle license plate recognition technology is widely used in gate control and parking control of vehicles, and police enforcement of illegal vehicles. However inherent geometric information of the license plate can be transformed in the vehicle images due to the slant and the sunlight or lighting environment. In this paper, a distortion invariant vehicle license plate extraction and recognition algorithm is proposed. First, a binary image reserving clean character strokes can be achieved by using a DoG filter. A plate area can be extracted by using the location of consecutive digit numbers that reserves distortion invariant characteristic. License plate is recognized by using neural networks after geometric distortion correction and image enhancement. The simulation results of the proposed algorithm show that the accuracy is 98.4% and the average speed is 0.05 seconds in the recognition of 6,200 vehicle images that are obtained by using commercial LPR system.

Applications of corrugated plates (or folded plates) have been recently increasing due to certain economic and structural advantages. Likewise, applications of corrugated plates has been increasing because they are stronger compared to flat plates. Therefore, specifications of corrugated plates should be determined. There are many design details in almost every specification for flat plates. However, except the bending strength and the normal strength, there are no detailed design guides such as shear strength. Thus, it is difficult for engineers to design structures consisting of corrugated plates. As such, engineers need a guide in designing corrugated plates. Extensive numerical study was conducted in order to identify the relationship between the shear strength and geometric conditions for corrugated plates. An eight-node thin shell element (QSL8) of the commercial program LUSAS (version 13.2) was used. The study was able to come up with a formula that helps determine the shear strength of corrugated plates under various geometric conditions, the size of corrugation, the curvature of corrugation, and the thickness of the corrugated plate. Likewise, corrugated plates were found to have a higher shear buckling strength than flat plates.

We propose the new method for the traffic signs recognition that is one of the DAS(Driving assistance system) in the intelligent vehicle. Our approach estimates a varied degree by using a geometric method from the varied traffic signs in noise, rotation and size, and extracts the recognition symbol from the compensated traffic sign for a recognition by using the sequential color-based clustering. This proposed clustering method classify the traffic sign into the attention, regulation, indication, and auxiliary class. Also, The circular tracing method is used for the final traffic sign recognition. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, varied traffic signs were built. As a result, The proposed method show that the 95 % recognition rate for a single variation, and 93 % recognition rate for a mixed variation.

Vehicle license plate is the only way to check the registrated information of a vehicle. Many works have been devoted to the vision system of recognizing the license plate, which has been widely used to control an illegal parking. However, it is difficult to correctly segment characters on the license plate since an illumination is affected by a weather change and a neighboring obstacles. This paper proposes a robust method of segmenting the character of the license plate on irregular illumination condition. The proposed method enhance the contrast of license plate images using the Chi-Square probability density function. For segmenting characters on the license plate, binary images with the high quality are gained by applying the adaptive threshold. Preprocessing and labeling algorithm are used to eliminate noises existing during the whole segmentation process. Finally, profiling method is applied to segment characters on license plate from binary images.

This study has been searching for reasoning process solving the problem effectively in activities related to meaningful classification of pieces and geometric properties with tangram. In activities using some pieces of tangram, we systematically came up with every solution in classifying properties of pieces and combining selected pieces. It is very difficult for regular students to do this tangram. In order to solve this problem effectively, we need to show that there are activities using the idea acquired in reasoning process. Through this process, we do not simply use tangram to understand he concept and play for interest but to use it more meaningfully. And the best solution an not be found by a process of trial and error but must be given by experience to look or it systematically and methods to reason it logically.

A series of test was performed by measuring the failure strength and the failure mode of fiber reinforced composite laminates joint containing two holes in Series or Parallel. $[0^{\circ}/45^{\circ}/90^{\circ}/-45^{\circ}]_s$ laminate with W/d(Side distance ratio) 4.0 and E/d(Edge distance ratio) 3.0 has the full bearing strength and are preferable in case of the good efficiency in two series hole. Comparisons were made between testing results and predicting values of the FEM model. Good agreements were fecund between them except the case of $E/d=2{\sim}3$. In the case of $G_h{\geq}3.0d$ and $G_v{\geq}3.0d$ since the interaction coefficients between two parallel holes and between two series holes were small, holes can be treated as independent. The Acoustic Emission(AE) and SEM method were utilized to find out the initial defects, damage and the fracture mechanism.
