The free vibration of a spinning flexible disk-spindle system supported by hydro dynamic bearings (HDB) in an HDD is analyzed by FEM. The spinning flexible disk is described using Kirchhoff plate theory and von Karman non-linear strain, and its rigid body motion is also considered. It is discretized by annular sector element. The rotating spindle which includes the clamp, hub, permanent magnet and yoke, is modeled by Timoshenko beam including the gyroscopic effect. The flexible supporting structure with a complex shape which includes stator core, housing, base plate, sleeve and thrust pad is modeled by using a 4-node tetrahedron element with rotational degrees of freedom to satisfy the geometric compatibility. The dynamic coefficients of HDB are calculated from the HDB analysis program, which solves the perturbed Reynolds equation using FEM. Introducing the virtual nodes and the rigid link constraints defined in the center of HDB, beam elements of the shaft are connected to the solid elements of the sleeve and thrust pad through the spring and damper element. The global matrix equation obtained by assembling the finite element equations of each substructure is transformed to the state-space matrix-vector equation, and the associated eigen value problem is solved by using the restarted Arnoldi iteration method. The validity of this research is verified by comparing the numerical results of the natural frequencies with the experimental ones. Also the effect of supporting structures to the natural modes of the total HDD system is rigorously analyzed.

Fingerprint classification is useful to reduce the matching time of a huge fingerprint identification system by categorizing fingerprints into predefined classes according to their global features. Although global features are distributed diversly because of the uniqueness of a fingerprint, previous fingerprint classification methods extract global features non-adaptively from the fixed region for every fingerprint. We propose an novel method that extracts features adaptively for each fingerprint in order to classify various fingerprints effectively. It extracts ridge directional values as feature vectors from the region after searching the feature region by calculating variations of ridge directions, and classifies them using support vector machines. Experimental results with NIST4 database show that we have achieved a classification accuracy of 90.3% for the five-class problem and 93.7% for the four-class problem, and proved the validity of the proposed adaptive method by comparison with non-adaptively extracted feature vectors.

This paper concerns with a safe and efficient transportation method of hot-coils on cargo ship. An automatic loading and unloading system of hot-coils by cassettes, which secure the geometrically unstable cargo, hot-coil, by supporting with wedges on both sides, is considered efficient and profitable. Safety of hot-coil on cassette and subsequently safety of total cargo ship are directly affected by the wedge angle of cassette. For optimal design of the cassette wedge angle, a dynamic model of hot-coil/cassette cargo is developed with constraint of no relative motions between the coil and the cassette. Force equilibrium conditions between resultant alternating inertia forces on hot-coil due to motions of cargo ship in waves and reactions forces from cassette wedge surfaces are derived and consequently a numerical simulation code is implemented. Cassette wedge angle of 37 degree is taken as optimal by considering dynamic stability of hot-coil and strength of cassette structure. Performance of the designed cassette wedge angle is investigated by scaled bench test.

The mobile harbor is a new innovative system that delivers containers from a containership to a harbor without good infrastructure. A crane is installed on the deck of the mobile harbor and transfers the containers. The structure of the crane is influenced by the inertia force that occurs from a moving support. Thus an accurate safety verification considering the moving support is required. Lightweight of the crane structure is also significant in the design for low production cost and efficient operation. Dynamic response optimization can be exploited to achieve these two requirements. Equivalent static loads method is employed for dynamic response optimization of the crane. The equivalent static loads method transforms dynamic loads to equivalent static loads, and static response structural optimization with the transformed equivalent static loads are solved. The process proceeds in a cyclic manner. A new method is proposed to consider the moving supports and the structure of the mobile harbor is optimized using the proposed method.

The characteristics of noise emission from tram systems should be investigated in order to design and construct an urban tram network that raises fewer environmental noise problems. In this paper, the characteristics of rolling noise from a tram were studied and a desired stiffness of the rail supports was proposed using a noise prediction model. The mobilities of embedded rails and resilient wheels were predicted using the Timoshenko beam model and the finite element model, respectively. The predicted mobilities were compared with the measured results. Compared with the measured values, the calculated noise level near the track showed small errors for frequencies higher than 300 Hz. Then, the source strengths of rail and wheel components were examined by varying the rail supporting stiffness and the slab supporting stiffness so that suitable stiffness values could be estimated that would reduce noise radiated from rails and wheels but that would not greatly increase the ground vibration.

Recently mining techniques that analyze the data stream to discover potential information, have been widely studied. However, most of the researches based on the support are concerned with the frequent event, but ignore the infrequent event even if it is crucial. In this paper, we propose SM-AF method discovering association rules to an abnormal event. In considering the window that an abnormal event is sensed, SM-AF method can discover the association rules to the critical event, even if it is occurred infrequently. Also, SM-AF method can discover the significant rare itemsets associated with abnormal event and periodic event itemsets. Through analysis and experiments, we show that SM-AF method is superior to the previous methods of mining association rules.

A speech-act is a behavior intended by users in an utterance. Speech-act classification is important in a dialogue system. The machine learning and rule-based methods have mainly been used for speech-act classification. In this paper, we propose a speech-act classification method based on the combination of support vector machine (SVM) and transformation-based learning (TBL). The user's utterance is first classified by SVM that is preferentially applied to categories with a low utterance rate in training data. Next, when an utterance has negative scores throughout the whole of the categories, the utterance is applied to the correction phase by rules. The results from our method were higher performance over the baseline system long with error-reduction.

A submerged floating railway is an innovative tunnel infrastructure passing through the deep sea independent of wave and wind so that high speed trains can run on it. It doesn't depend on water depth and is cost effective due to modular construction on land. The construction period can be reduced drastically. This paper introduces the concept design of a submerged floating railway, and for securing safety, proposes a method to analyze the structural behavior of the body in case of collision with a submarine. The theory of a beam with an elastic foundation was used to calculate the equivalent mass of the body so that the perfect elastic collision could be applied to calculate the collision velocity. The maximum deformation and bending moment was analyzed based on energy conservation. To verify the results, a collision analysis using a finite element analysis code was made. Comparing the results confirmed that this simplified collision analysis method gives enough accurate deformation and bending moment to be used for actual estimation in the initial design stage.

This paper presents the results of full-scale uplift load tests performed on 30 passive anchors grouted to various lengths at Taean site in Korea. Various rock types were tested, ranging from highly weathered to sound gneiss. Rock anchors were installed over a wide range of rock types and qualities with a fixed anchored depth of $1{\sim}4m$. The majority of installations used SD4O-D51 no high grade steel rebar to induce rock failure prior to rod failure. In many tests, rock failure was reached and the ultimate loads were recorded along with observations of the shape and extent of the failure surface. The test results, the failure mechanisms as well as uplift capacities of rock anchors depend mostly on rock type and quality, embedded fixed length, and the strength of rebar. Based on test results, the main parameters governing the uplift capacity of the rock anchor system were determined.
