The 3-noded metric Timoshenko beam element with an offset of the internal node from the element centre is used here to demonstrate the best-fit paradigm using function space formulation under locking and mesh distortion. The best-fit paradigm follows from the projection theorem describing finite element analysis which shows that the stresses computed by the displacement finite element procedure are the best approximation of the true stresses at an element level as well as global level. In this paper, closed form best-fit solutions are arrived for the 3-noded Timoshenko beam element through function space formulation by combining field consistency requirements and distortion effects for the element modelled in metric Cartesian coordinates. It is demonstrated through projection theorems how lock-free best-fit solutions are arrived even under mesh distortion by using a consistent definition for the shear strain field. It is shown how the field consistency enforced finite element solution differ from the best-fit solution by an extraneous response resulting from an additional spurious force vector. However, it can be observed that when the extraneous forces vanish fortuitously, the field consistent solution coincides with the best-fit strain solution.

In order to verify the reliability of numerical site response analysis program, both soil free-field and base rock input motions should be provided. Beside the field earthquake motion records, the most effective testing method for obtaining the above motions is the dynamic geotechnical centrifuge test. However, need is to verify if the motion recorded at the base of the soil model container in the centrifuge facility is the true base rock input motion or not. In this paper, the appropriate input motion measurement method for the verification of seismic response analysis is examined by dynamic geotechnical centrifuge test and using three-dimensional finite difference analysis results. From the results, it appears that the ESB (equivalent shear beam) model container distorts downward the propagating wave with larger magnitude of centrifugal acceleration and base rock input motion. Thus, the distortion makes the measurement of the base rock outcrop motion difficult which is essential for extracting the base rock incident motion. However, the base rock outcrop motion generated by using deconvolution method is free from the distortion effect of centrifugal acceleration.

An active front end (AFE) is required for a three-phase induction motor (IM) fed by a voltage source inverter (VSI), because of the increasing need to derive quality current from the utility end without sacrificing the power factor (PF). This study investigates a proportional-plus-integral (PI) controller based AFE topology that uses a super-lift converter (SLC). The significance of the proposed SLC, which converts rectified AC supply to geometrically proceed ripple-free DC supply, is explained. Variations in several power quality parameters in the intended IM drive for 0% and 100% loading conditions are demonstrated. A simulation is conducted by using MATLAB/Simulink software, and a prototype is built with a field programmable gate array (FPGA) Spartan-6 processor. Simulation results are correlated with the experimental results obtained from a 0.5 HP IM drive prototype with speed feedback and a voltage/frequency (V/f) control strategy. The proposed AFE topology using SLC is suitable for three-phase IM drives, considering the supply end PF, the DC-link voltage and current, the total harmonic distortion (THD) in supply current, and the speed response of IM.

본 논문은 수직 구조와 고성능 특성을 가진 InGaAsP 다중양자우물(MQW; Multiple Quantum Well) 비대칭 페브리페롯 변조기(AFPM; Asymmetric Fabry-Perot Modulators)에 관한 연구결과로써 광대역 동작특성과 저가격이 요구되는 피코셀과 같은 차세대 광대역 무선통신 시스템에 응용 가능성을 제안하고자 한다. 이 AFPM은 <-2V 동작전압과 광섬유와 간단히 결합되어 결합손실이 3dB 내외인 장점과 -3dB 주파수응답 특성이 10GHz인 특성을 보이므로 광대역 및 다중 무선서비스가 요구되는 시스템에 적용 가능할 것으로 기대된다. 이를 위한 간단한 링크실험 결과 92dB/Hz의 SFDR(Spurious Free Dynamic Range)과 약 40dB의 IMD(Inter-Modulation Distortion)의 결과를 보였다.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the structural safety at the topside weldment of hull structure, which was welded after launching. For it, the variations of residual stress and distortion at the topside weldment with loading conditions such as hull girder hogging bending moment after launching and free initial loading state was evaluated by using FEA. And the maximum stress range at the weldment under design loads specified by classification society was evaluated by FEA. In this case, the residual stress and welding distortion at the topside weldment was assumed to be initial imperfection. In accordance with FEA results, regardless of initial loading condition, tensile residual stress was found. However, the residual stress and welding distortion at the topside weldment produced under hogging condition was less than those of topside weldment under free loading state. That is, the amount of residual stress at the topside weldment decreased with an increase in the amount of tension load caused by hogging condition. It was because the compressive thermal strain at the topside weldment produced during welding was reduced by tensile load. However, the maximum stress range at the topside weldment under maximum hull girder bending moment was almost similar regardless of initial loading condition. So, if the problem related to the soundness of weldment is not introduced by initial load, the effect of initial loading condition during welding on fatigue strength of topside weldment could be negligible.

We performed replica exchange molecular dynamics (REMD) simulations of the tripzip2 peptide (betahairpin) using the GB implicit and TI3P explicit solvation models. By comparing the resulting free energy surfaces of these two solvation model, we found that the GB solvation model produced a distorted free energy map, but the explicit solvation model yielded a reasonable free energy landscape with a precise location of the native structure in its global free energy minimum state. Our result showed that in particular, the GB solvation model failed to describe the tryptophan packing of trpzip2, leading to a distorted free energy landscape. When the GB solvation model is replaced with the explicit solvation model, the distortion of free energy shape disappears with the native-like structure in the lowest free energy minimum state and the experimentally observed tryptophan packing is precisely recovered. This finding indicates that the main source of this problem is due to artifact of the GB solvation model. Therefore, further efforts to refine this model are needed for better predictions of various aromatic side chain packing forms in proteins.

언샤프 마스킹 기법은 회색조 영상의 화질 향상을 위해 널리 사용되는 영상 강화기법 중 하나이다. 하지만 언샤프마스킹 알고리즘은 노이즈에 민감하며 오버/언더슛이 발생하여 영상을 열화시키는 문제가 있다. 또한 칼라 영상성분에 기존 알고리즘을 그대로 적용하게 되면 영상에서 색차의 왜곡현상이 발생한다. 이러한 여러 가지 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 고급 언샤프 마스킹 알고리즘을 사용하여 색차왜곡 없이 영상의 경계를 강조하고 노이즈와 오버/언더슛 문제를 해결한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 오버/언더슛과 노이즈 문제를 해결하기 위하여 인간의 시각적 특성과 영상의 지역적 색차 대비 특성을 이용하여 영상 강화의 단계를 조절하고, RGB영상과 HSI영상의 관계를 바탕으로 RGB의 벡터적 특성에 기반한 투사 방법을 이용하여 색차왜곡을 방지한다. 실험 결과는 제안하는 알고리즘이 성공적으로 경계 영상을 강조하는 동시에 타 알고리즘을 적용했을 때 발생하는 색차왜곡과 노이즈 및 오버/언더슛 현상 없이 영상이 강조된다는 것을 확인할 수 있다.

In this paper, a motion-based ROI extraction algorithm from a high resolution fisheye image is proposed for multi-view monitoring systems. Lately fisheye cameras are widely used because of the wide angle-of-view and they basically provide a lens correction functionality as well as various viewing modes. However, since the distortion-free angle of conventional algorithms is quite narrow due to the severe distortion ratio, there are lots of unintentional dead areas and they require much computation time in finding undistorted coordinates. Thus, the proposed algorithm adopts an image decimation and a motion detection methods, that can extract the undistorted ROI image with a standard angle-of-view for the fast and intelligent surveillance system. In addition, a mesh-type ROI is presented to reduce the lens correction time, so that this independent ROI scheme can parallelize and maximize the processor's utilization.

A collimator refers to an optical system that images a collimated beam at a desired point. A resolution target located at a near distance can be converted into a virtual image located at a long distance. To test the resolution for mobile cameras, a large target is placed at a long distance. If a collimator system is used, the target can be placed at a near distance. The space required for a resolution inspection can thus be drastically reduced. However, to inspect a mobile camera, the exit pupil of the collimator system and the entrance pupil of the mobile camera must match, and the stop of the collimator system must be located on the last surface. Because a collimator system cannot be symmetrical with respect to the stop, the distortion becomes extremely large, which can be corrected by combining the collimator symmetrically with respect to the object plane. A novel system was designed to inspect an optical lens on a mobile phone. After arranging the refractive power, lenses were added using the equivalent lens design method. The distortion was reduced to less than 1%. This optical system satisfies a half-field angle of 45° and an optical performance sufficient for inspection.

For the micro-lithography using a KrF excimer laser beam(λ=0.248${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) a mirror system consisting of four spherical surfaces with reduction magnification 5$\times$ is designed. Initially the aplanat condition of the mirror system is considered. And for the further improved performance of the system the distortion free condition and flat field condition within Seidel 3rd order aberrations are added to the above condition. During the process of designing the computer-aided optimization technique is extensively employed. The spherical aberration, coma, field curvature and distortion of the optimized four-spherical mirror system are removed to the diffraction limit, and residual astigmatism and off-axial vignetting are not corrected enough.
