An analytical-computational method along with finite element analysis (FEA) has been employed to analyse the dynamic behaviour of deteriorated structures excited by time- varying mass. The present analysis is focused on the comparative study of a double cracked beam with inclined edge cracks and transverse open cracks subjected to traversing mass. The assumed computational method applied is the fourth order Runge-Kutta method. The analysis of the structure has been carried out at constant transit mass and speed. The response of the structure is determined at different crack depth and crack inclination angles. The influence of the parameters like crack depth and crack inclination angles are investigated on the dynamic behaviour of the structure. The results obtained from the assumed computational method are compared with those of the FEA for validation and found good agreements with FEA.

As an important part, the connections generally are important for the overall behavior of the structure and the strength and serviceability of the connection should be ensured. This paper presents the mechanical properties of membrane connections in tensioned membrane structure. First, the details of common connections used in the membrane structure are introduced. Then, the common connections including membrane seam, membrane-flexible edge connection and membrane-rigid edge connection are tested and the corresponding failure mechanisms are discussed. Finally, the effects of connection parameters on the connection strength are investigated and proper connection parameters are proposed. The strength reduction factors corresponding to different connection types are proposed, which can be references for the design and analysis of membrane structures.

An experimental study was carried out to investigate influence of flow conditions on a boundary layer to the near-wake of a flat plate. The flow condition in the vicinity of trailing edge that is influenced by upstream condition history is an essential factor that determines the physical characteristics of a near-wake. Various tripping wires were used to change boundary layer flow condition of upstream at the freestream velocity of 6.0 m/sec. Measurements of the boundary layer and near-wake according to the change of upstream conditions were conducted by using both I-probe(55P14 for boundary layer) and X-probe(55P61 for wake). Normalized velocity profiles of the boundary layer were shown the flow types such as laminar boundary layer, transition, and turbulent boundary layer at 0.95C from the leading edge. The velocity and turbulence intensity profiles of the near-wake for the case of laminar boundary layer at the flat plate surface exhibited a defect and a double peak showing perfect symmetry, respectively.

Given a directed graph, we can determine how the user's preference moves from one product item to another. In this graph called "preference transition network", each node represents the product item while its edge pointing to the other nodes represents the transition of user's preference. However, with the large number of items make the network become more complex, unclear and difficult to be interpreted. In order to address this problem, this paper proposes a visualization technique in preference transition analysis based on recency and frequency. By adapting these two elements, the semantic meaning of each item and its transition can be clearly identified by its different types of node size, color and edge style. The experiment in a sales data has shown the results of the proposed approach.

This paper presents an unoccluded cylindrical object pose measurement using a slit beam laser in which a robot recognizes all of the unoccluded objects from the top of jumbled objects, and picks them up one by one. The elliptical equation parameters of a projected curve edge on a slice are calculated using LSM. The coefficients of standard elliptical equation are compared with these parameters to estimate the object pose. The hamming distances between the estimated coordinates and the calculated ones are extracted as measures to evaluate a local constraint and a smoothing surface curvature. The edges between slices are linked using error function based on the edge types and the hamming distances. The linked edges on slices are compared with the model object's length to recognize the unoccluded object. This proposed method may provide a solution to the automation of part handling in manufacturing environments such as punch press operation or part assembly.

Purpose: The practical design for experiments with mixtures of q components is consisted in the four types of design points, vertex, center of edge, axial, and center points in a (q-1)-dimensional simplex space. We propose a sequential method for the successful construction of the design space in Quality by Design (QbD) by allowing the different number of replicates at the four types of design points in the practical design when the quadratic canonical polynomial model is assumed. Methods: To compare the mixture designs efficiency, fraction of design space (FDS) plot is used. We search for the practical mixture designs whose the minimal half-width of the tolerance interval per a standard deviation, which is denoted as d₂, is less than 4.5 at 0.8 fraction of the design space. They are found by adding the different number of replicates at the four types of the design points in the practical design. Results: The practical efficient mixture designs for the number of components between three and five are listed. The sequential method to establish a design space is illustrated with the two examples based on the simulated data. Conclusion: The designs with the center of edge points replications are more efficient than those with the vertex points replication. We propose the sample size of at least 23 for three components, 28 for four components, and 33 for the five components based on the list of efficient mixture designs.

This study focused on understanding the relationship between the design of a tunnel boring machine disc cutter ring and its rock-breaking efficiency, as well as the applicable conditions of different cutter ring types. The discrete element method was used to establish a numerical model of the rock-breaking process using disc cutters with different ring types to reveal the development of rock damage cracks and variation in cutter penetration load. The calculation results indicate that a sharp-edged (V-shaped) disc cutter penetrates a rock mass to a given depth with the lowest load, resulting in more intermediate cracks and few lateral cracks, which leads to difficulty in crack combination. Furthermore, the poor wear resistance of a conventional V-shaped cutter can lead to an exponential increase in the penetration load after cutter ring wear. In contrast, constant-cross-section (CCS) disc cutters have the highest quantity of crack extensions after penetrating rock, but also require the highest penetration loads. An arch-edged (U-shaped) disc cutter is more moderate than the aforementioned types with sufficient intermediate and lateral crack propagation after cutting into rock under a suitable penetration load. Additionally, we found that the cutter ring wedge angle and edge width heavily influence cutter rock-breaking efficiency and that a disc cutter with a 16 to 22 mm edge width and 20° to 30° wedge angle exhibits high performance. Compared to V-shaped and U-shaped cutters, the CCS cutter is more suitable for soft or medium-strength rocks, where the penetration load is relatively small. Additionally, two typical case studies were selected to verify that replacing a CCS cutter with a U-shaped or optimized V-shaped disc cutter can increase cutting efficiency when encountering hard rocks.

본 논문은 온라인 얼굴 인식에서 전처리에 해당하는 얼굴 검출방법을 다룬다. 기존의 얼굴 검출 방법에서 에지 정보만을 이용한 얼굴 검출 방법과 컬러 정보를 이용한 얼굴 검출 방법의 단점을 상호 보완하기 위해 본 연구에서는 에지 정보와 컬러 정보를 결합한 얼굴 검출 방법 및 중심 영역 컬러 샘플링을 이용한 얼굴 검출방법을 개발하였다. 즉, 사람의 얼굴 영역이 비슷한 컬러를 가진 배경 영역과 결합(Merge)되는 것을 막기 위해 먼저 적응형 에지 검출 알고리즘을 수행하여 배경과 얼굴 영역을 각각의 고립 영역으로 분할한다. 제안된 적응형 소벨(Sobel) 에지 검출기는 배경 영역과 얼굴 영역의 경계에서 항상 에지가 발생할 수 있도록 에지가 많이 검출되고 입력 영상의 밝기 변화에 강인하다. 이로 인해 얼굴 영역이 하나의 영역이 아닌 여러 영역으로 분할되어 나타날 수 있으므로, 각 영역들의 컬러 정보를 이용해 병합한 후, 최종 얼굴 영역을 MBR(minimum bounding rectangle) 형태로 검출하였다. 이때 병합된 최종 얼굴 영역 후보가 너무 크거나 혹은 너무 작으면, 중심 영역 샘플링 방법을 이용해 다시 얼굴 영역을 검출한다. 총 2100장의 얼굴 영상 데이터베이스를 통해 실험한 결과 본 연구에서 제안한 방법을 사용해 96.3%의 높은 얼굴 영역 검출 성공률을 얻을 수 있었다.

본 연구는 길이에 따른 사각 기둥 타입을 변수로 선정하여 각각의 길이 패턴을 지닌 고체 표면에서의 물 액적 젖음 특성을 분자 동역학을 이용하여 규명하였다. 기둥의 표면 형상을 정사각형과 직사각형의 형태로 가정하였고, 정해진 형상에서의 표면 면적을 증가시켰다. 정사각형 형상의 경우 각 변의 길이가 $4.24{\AA}$, $8.48{\AA}$, $12.72{\AA}$로 증가하였으며, 직사각형 형상의 경우 고정된 한 변은 $8.48{\AA}$의 길이를 가지며 다른 한 변의 길이는 $4.24{\AA}$, $8.48{\AA}$, $12.72{\AA}$로 증가하였다. 이러한 길이 변화를 통해 사각기둥 표면형상의 변화 및 전체 고체표면의 면적 대비 기둥이 차지하는 면적의 비율에 따른 물 액적의 변화를 살펴보고, 표면과 물 액적과의 접촉각을 측정하여 비교 분석하였다.
