Measurement of elastic constants is crucial for engineering aspects of predicting the behavior of materials under load as well as structural health monitoring of material degradation. Ultrasonic velocity measurement for material properties has been broadly used as a nondestructive evaluation method for material characterization. In particular, pulse-echo method has been extensively utilized as it is not only simple but also effective when only one side of the inspected objects is accessible. However, the conventional technique in this approach measures longitudinal and shear waves individually to obtain their velocities. This produces a set of two data for each measurement. This paper proposes a simultaneous sensing system of longitudinal waves and shear waves for elastic constant measurement. The proposed system senses both these waves simultaneously as a single overlapped signal, which is then analyzed to calculate both the ultrasonic velocities for obtaining elastic constants. Therefore, this system requires just half the number of data to obtain elastic constants compared to the conventional individual measurement. The results of the proposed simultaneous measurement had smaller standard deviations than those in the individual measurement. These results validate that the proposed approach improves the efficiency and reliability of ultrasonic elastic constant measurement by reducing the complexity of the measurement system, its operating procedures, and the number of data.

The aim of this paper is to extend the applicability of Gauss-Newton method for solving underdetermined nonlinear least squares problems in cases not covered before. The novelty of the paper is the introduction of a restricted convergence domain. We find a more precise location where the Gauss-Newton iterates lie than in earlier studies. Consequently the Lipschitz constants are at least as small as the ones used before. This way and under the same computational cost, we extend the local as well the semilocal convergence of Gauss-Newton method. The new developmentes are obtained under the same computational cost as in earlier studies, since the new Lipschitz constants are special cases of the constants used before. Numerical examples further justify the theoretical results.

A fourth-order family of triparametric extensions of Jarratt's method are proposed in this paper to find a simple root of nonlinear algebraic equations. Convergence analysis including numerical experiments for various test functions apparently verifies the fourth-order convergence and asymptotic error constants.

A new three-step quadraparametric family of eighth-order iterative methods free from second derivatives are proposed in this paper to find a simple root of a nonlinear equation. Convergence analysis as well as numerical experiments confirms the eighth-order convergence and asymptotic error constants.

Biomimetic artificial basilar membrane being a core part of artificial cochlear requires performance evaluation through aging test. To evaluate the aging properties of PVDF piezoelectric membrane used for artificial basilar membrane, its mechanical properties such as tensile strength and elastic modulus and piezoelectric property such as piezoelectric constant were measured. The aging test conditions and acceleration constants were calculated based on Arrhenius model. The changes in tensile strengths and elastic moduli measured were less than 10~20% after aging test equivalent for 10 years. The piezoelectric constants were decreased drastically to 80% of its initial value in the early stage of the aging test and expected to decrease slowly down to 65% over 10 years. The experimental results show the reliability of totally implantable novel artificial cochlear and will contribute its commercialization.

We consider fixed-point iterations constructed by simple transforming from a quadratic matrix equation to equivalent fixed-point equations and assume that the iterations are well-defined at some solutions. In that case, we suggest real valued functions. These functions provide radii at the solution, which guarantee the local convergence and the uniqueness of the solutions. Moreover, these radii obtained by simple calculations of some constants. We get the constants by arbitrary matrix norm for coefficient matrices and solution. In numerical experiments, the examples show that the functions give suitable boundaries which guarantee the local convergence and the uniqueness of the solutions for the given equations.

본 연구에서는, 서로 독립인 확률변수들의 합 $S_n$이 수렴하는 경우에, 확률변수들의 Tail 합 $T_n=S-S_{n-1}=\sum_{i=n}^{\infty}X_i$의 극한 성질을 연구함으로써, $S_n$이 하나의 확률변수 S로 수렴하는 속도를 연구한다. 좀 더 구체적으로 말하자면, 유사-단조감소(Quasi-monotone decreasing)하는 상수(Norming constants)의 수열에 대하여, 확률변수들의 Tail 합에 대한 약대수법칙과 하나의 수렴법칙이 동등함을 정리로 기술하고 증명하여, 기존의 연구 결과를 더 넓은 부류의 상수들의 경우에 적용할 수 있도록 확장한다.

Many numerical methods have been developed since 1961, but unresolved issues remain. This study developed a numerical method to address these issues and determine the coefficients and properties of rotational waves with a shear current in a finite water depth. The number of unknown constants was reduced significantly by introducing a wavelength-independent coordinate system. The reference depth was calculated independently using the shooting method. Therefore, there was no need for partial derivatives with respect to the wavelength and the reference depth, which simplified the numerical formulation. This method had less than half of the unknown constants of the other method because Newton's method only determines the coefficients. The breaking limit was calculated for verification, and the result agreed with the Miche formula. The water particle velocities were calculated, and the results were consistent with the experimental data. Dispersion relations were calculated, and the results are consistent with other numerical findings. The convergence of this method was examined. Although the required series order was reduced significantly, the total error was smaller, with a faster convergence speed.

Let ${X, X_n, n \geq 1}$ be a sequence of independent and identically distributed(i.i.d) random variables with EX = 0 and $E$\mid$X$\mid$^p < \infty$ for some $p \geq 1$. Let ${a_{ni}, 1 \leq i \leq n, n \geq 1}$ be a triangular arrary of constants. The almost sure(a.s) convergence of weighted sums $\sum_{i=1}^{n} a_{ni}X_i$ can be founded in Choi and Sung[1], Chow[2], Chow and Lai[3], Li et al. [4], Stout[6], Sung[8], Teicher[9], and Thrum[10].

Let {$X_{ni}$, $i{\geq}1$, $n{\geq}1$} be an array of rowwise asymptotically negatively associated random variables and {$a_{ni}$, $i{\geq}1$, $n{\geq}1$} an array of constants. Some results concerning complete convergence of weighted sums ${\sum}_{i=1}^{n}a_{ni}X_{ni}$ are obtained. They generalize some previous known results for arrays of rowwise negatively associated random variables to the asymptotically negative association case.
