An axisymmetric shell element which includes the effects of the meridional and circumferential cable prestresses is developed. It is coded for personal computer by the maximum use of axisymmetic properties and the dynamic analysis is performed under the seismic exitations. A ring element is used to fully utilize the characteristics of the axisymmetric shell. The eigenvalue solutions using 20 elements under the initial prestresses are in good agreement with the exact solutions. The results of the seismic analysis show that the radial deflection under the meridional prestress is a little larger than that under the circumferential prestress. The finite element model developed in this study can be very useful to the design applications.

In this paper, 3-D frame design using refined plastic-hinge analysis accounting for local buckling is developed. This analysis accounts for material and geometric nonlinearities of the structural system and its component members. Moreover, the problem associated with conventional refined plastic-hinge analyses, which do not consider the degradation of the flexural strength caused by local buckling, is overcome. Efficient ways of assessing steel frame behavior including gradual yielding associated with residual stresses and flexure, second-order effect, and geometric imperfections are presented. In this study, a model consisting of the width-thickness ratio is used to account for local buckling. The proposed analysis is verified by the comparison of the LRFD results. A case study shows that local buckling is a very crucial element to be considered in second-order plastic-hinge analysis. The proposed analysis is shown to be an efficient, reliable tool ready to be implemented into design practice.

Document image should be classified into detailed regions as text, picture, table and etc through the geometric layout analysis if paper documents can be converted automatically into electronic documents. However, complexity of the document layout and variety of the size and density of a picture are the reason to make it difficult to analyze the geometric layout of the document images. In this paper, we propose the method which have a better performance of the region segmentation and classifications, and the line extraction in the table region than the commercial softwares and previous methods. The proposed method can segment the document into detailed regions by using connected components method even if its layout is complex. This method also classifies texts and pictures by using separable median filter even. Though their size and density are diverse, In addition, this method extracts the lines from the table adapting one dimensional median filter to the each horizontal and vertical direction, even though lines are deformed or texts attached to them.

For real-time animation, keyframe animation that consists of translation, rotation, scaling transform nodes is used widely in 3D graphics. This paper presents geometrical watermarking using vertex coordinates in CoordIndex node and interpolator watermarking using keyvalues in PositionInterpolator node for 3D keyframe animation based on VRML. Experimental results verify that the proposed algorithm has the robustness against geometrical attacks and timeline attacks as well as the invisibility.

본 연구에서는 얇은 마레이징강으로 제작된 천마 연소관에 브라켓이 용접되어 비행 날개를 볼트로 체결한 경우, 압력과 공력하중에 의해 브라켓 부위에 집중되는 응력의 해석기법을 정립하기 위하여 선형해석과 기하학적 비선형 해석을 수행하였다. 높은 압력에 의해 발생한 얇은 연소관의 면내 응력이 구조물의 강성을 증가시키는 응력의 강성보강효과(stress stiffening effect)를 고려한 기하학적 비선형 해석을 수행하여 선형해석 결과와 비교하였으며, 압력과 공력하중을 동시에 적용할 수 있는 복합하중시험기로 변형률을 측정하여 해석치의 정확성을 검토하였다. 얇은 연소관에 압력과 공력하중이 동시에 작용하는 경우는 응력의 강성보강효과를 고려한 기하학적 비선형 해석을 수행함으로써 보다 정확한 응력을 구할 수 있다는 결론을 얻었다.

본 논문은 지리정보시스템(GIS, geographic information system) 상에서 GIS 데이터의 구조와 기하학적 특성을 바탕으로 GIS 속성 집합들의 평균 면적(MAAG, meanareas of attribute group)을 이용한 워터마킹 기법을 제안한다. 워터마크는 소유권 정보를 포함하는 이진 비트열로 사용하였으며, GIS 데이터 내의 MAAG를 결정한 후, 각 MAAG의 적응적 임계치를 이용하여 은닉되며, 워터마크 검출 시, 원래의 GIS 데이터가 필요 없는 블라인드 워터마킹 기법을 적용한다. 실험 결과, 제안한 워터마킹 기법이 기하학적 공격에 견고하며 워터마크의 비가시성을 확인하였다.

대칭성(symmetry)은 그래프의 구조와 특성을 시각적으로 표현할 때 중요한 미적 기준 중의 하나이다. 또한 대칭성을 보여주는 드로잉은 전체 그래프가 크기가 작은 부그래트들로부터 반복적으로 구성됨을 보여줌으로써 전체 그래프에 대한 이해를 쉽게 푸는 해주는 장점이 있다. 하지만 일반적인 그래프에서 기하하적 대칭성(geometric symmetry)을 탐지하는 문제는 이미 NP-complete 임이 증명되었으므로 이에 대한 연구는 평면 그래프(planar graph)의 극히 제한적인 부분집합인 트리, 외부 평면 그래프, 임베딩된 (embedded) 평면 그래프 등에 초점이 맞추어져 왔다. 본 논문에서는 평면 그래프에서의 기하학적 대칭성 문제를 연구하였다. 평면 그래프를 이중 연결 성분들로 분할한 다음 이를 각각 다시 삼중 연결 성분들로 분할하여 트리를 구성하고 축소(reduction)개념을 도입함으로써 기하학적 대칭성을 탐지하는 O(n2)시간 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 여기서 n은 그래프의 정점의 개수이다. 이 알고리즘은 평면 그래프를 최대한 대칭적으로 드로잉하는 알고리즘 개발에 이용될 수 있다.

In this paper, we propose a stochastic finite element formulation which takes into account the randonmess in the material and geometrical parameters. The formulation is proposed for plate structures, and is based on the weighted integral approach. Contrary to the case of elastic modulus, plate thickness contributes to the stiffness as a third-order function. Furthermore, Poisson's ratio is even more complex since this parameter appears in the constitutive relations in the fraction form. Accordingly, we employ Taylor's expansion to derive decomposed stochastic field functions in ascending order. In order to verify the proposed formulation, the results obtained using the proposed scheme are compared with those in the literature and those of Monte Carlo analysis as well.

Thermoelectric generator (TEG) generally do not have high heat conversion efficiencies. The performance of a thermoelectric generator module depends on the shape of the legs as well as the properties of the material and the number of legs. In this study, the leg shapes of thermoelectric elements are modeled into various geometric structures such as cylinder and cube shaped to efficiently harvest waste heat, and the electrical characteristics are compared numerically. The temperature gradient and power generation according to the bridge shape are found to be highest at the existing Cube shape. As a result of comparing the power generation using the cooling effect, the Cone shape was the highest in natural convection and the Hourglass shape was highest in forced convection. Research results confirm that geometry can affect the efficiency of thermoelectric generators.

Analysis of cable structures is complex because their force - displacement relationships are highly nonlinear and also because large deformations introduce geometric nonlinearity. Therefore, we must take account their geometric nonlinearity in the analysis and find the equilibrated shape of cable structures. In this paper, to slove these problems, numerical procedures involving geometrical nonlinearity are introduced. They are applicable to general cable net, flexible transmission lines and suspended cable roof. These procedures are divided into two parts; one is to obtain the equilibrated shapes and stresses of the cable structures with uniform load by flexibility iteration method, the other is to analyse the equilibrated structures subjected to nodal external forces by nonlinear finite element method.
