An inverse finite element approach is employed for more capability to design the optimum blank shape from the desired final shape with small amount of expense and computation time For multi-stage sheet metal forming processes numerical analysis is expense difficult to carry out the to its complexities and convergence problem. It also requires lots of computation time. For the analysis of elliptic cup with large aspect ratio intermediate sliding constraint surfaces are difficult to describe. in this paper multi-stage finite element inverse analysis is applied to multi-stage elliptic cup drawing processes to calculate intermediate blank shapes and strain distributions in each stages. To describe intermediate sliding constraint surfaces an analytic scheme is introduced to deal with merged-arc type sliding surfaces.

An inverse finite element approach is employed for more capability to design the optimum blank shape from the desired final shape with small amount of computation time and effort. For multi-stage deep-drawing processes with large aspect ratio, numerical analysis is extremely difficult to carry out due to its complexities and convergence problem. as well as tremendous computation time. In this paper, multi-stage finite element inverse analysis is applied to multi-stage rectangular cup drawing processes to calculate intermediate blank shapes and strain distributions in each stages. Deformation history of the previous stage is considered in the computation. Finite element patches are used to describe arbitrary intermediate sliding constraint surfaces.

The mathematical implementation for inverse airfoil design of wind turbines is presented using vortex panel method based on assumptions of the two-dimensional incompressible potential flow. The vortex panel method employs linear distribution of the vortex strength to obtain the well converged solution. Stream function is adopted to get the basic formula for the inverse airfoil design, and a symmetric seed airfoil is given for initial data of the iteration approach. The final airfoil shape has been compared with the original airfoil shape for validation of the mathematical procedure.

This paper introduces a new approach to take account of bending history in finite element inverse analysis during sheet metal forming process. A modified membrane element was adopted for finite element inverse analysis so that bending-unbending energy was additionally imposed in the total plastic energy, predicting bending-unbending regions using the geometry of the final shape and tools. An algorithm was applied to a cylindrical cup deep drawing process. The blank shape and the distribution of the thickness strain were compared with those obtained from the incremental finite element analysis in order to evaluate the effect of the bending history. The algorithm reduced the difference between the results of the inverse analysis from those of the incremental analysis due to bending history. The analysis was also carried out with the variation of the thickness of the initial blank to investigate the effect of bending deformation. The results showed that the difference was remarkably reduced as the thickness of the initial blank increased. This indicates that the finite element inverse analysis cooperated with the suggested scheme is useful to obtain more accurate results, especially when bending effects are significant.

The purpose of this study is to survey the shape finding of the plane truss structures under the prescribed displacement mode by the shape analysis. The shape analysis is peformed by the existence condition of a solution and Moore-Penrose generalized inverse matrix, and the prescribed displacement mode is the homologous deformation of structures. The shape analysis of structures is a kind of inverse problem and become the problem of a nonlinear equation. Newton-Raphson method is used to improve the accuracy of approximated solution. To prove the accuracy and the effectiveness of this method, four different shape examples are analyzed.

얼굴 추적은 Vision base HCI의 핵심인 얼굴인식, 표정인식 그리고 Gesture recognition등의 다른 여러 기술을 지원하는 중요한 기술이다. 이런 얼굴 추적기술에는 영상(Image)의 Color또는 Contour등의 불변하는 특징들을 사용 하거나 템플릿(template)또는 형태(appearance)를 사용하는 방법 등이 있는데 이런 방법들은 조명환경이나 주위 배경등의 외부 환경에 민감하게 반응함으로 해서 다양한 환경에 사용할 수 없을 뿐더러 얼굴영상만을 정확하게 추출하기도 쉽지 않은 실정이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 deformable한 model을 사용하여 model과 유사한 shape과 appearance를 찾아 내는 AAM(Active Appearance Model)을 사용하는 얼굴 추적 시스템을 제안하고자 한다. 제안된 시스템에는 기존의 Combined AAM이 아닌 Independent AAM을 사용하였고 또한 Fitting Algorithm에 Inverse Compositional Image Alignment를 사용하여 Fitting 속도를 향상 시켰다. AAM Model을 만들기 위한 Train set은 150장의 4가지 형태에 얼굴을 담고 있는 Gray-scale 영상을 사용 하였다. Shape Model은 각 영상마다 직접 표기한 47개의 Vertex를 Trianglize함으로서 생성되는 71개의 Triangles을 하나의 Mesh로 구성하여 생성 하였고, Appearance Model은 Shape 안쪽의 모든 픽셀을 사용해서 생성하였다. 시스템의 성능 평가는 Fitting후 Shape 좌표의 정확도를 측정 함으로서 평가 하였다.

This paper deals with a new methodology for topology optimization in which the topology of the design domain may change during the shape optimization process. To achieve this, the concept of the topological gradient is introduced to compute the sensitivity of an objective function when a small hole is drilled in the domain. Based on shape and topological sensitivity values, the shape and topology of the design domain may be simultaneously changed during design iterations if necessary. To verify the advantages and also to facilitate understanding of the method itself, two electrostatic design problems have been tested by using 2D finite element analysis: the first is the inverse problem of a simple dielectric model and the second is the rotor design of a MEMS actuator.

In this paper, a finite element method for the determination of initial blank shape in sheet metal forming process will be introduced. The initial blank shape is determined by the only one step from the final to the initial blank. The used finite element inverse method adopted Henky's deformation theory, Hill's anisotropic yield criterion and simplified boundary conditions. Based on this theory. a three-dimensional membrane finite element code was developed. The developed code will be applied to several sheet metal forming examples for the demonstration of its validity.

Many process parameters have an effect on the auto-body panel forming process. A well-designed blank shape causes the material to flow smoothly, reduces the punch and yields a product with uniform thickness distribution. Therefore, the determination of an initial blank shape plays the important role of saving time and cost in the auto-body panel forming process. For these reasons, some approaches to estimate the initial blank shape have been implemented in this paper, the one-step approach by using a finite element inverse method will be introduced to predict the initial blank shape the developed program is applied to auto-body panel forming.

We develop the testing procedures about the homogeneity of the shape parameters of several inverse Gaussian distributions in our paper. We propose default Bayesian testing procedures for the shape parameters under the reference priors. The Bayes factor based on the proper priors gives the successful results for Bayesian hypothesis testing. For the case of the lack of information, the noninformative priors such as Jereys' prior or the reference prior can be used. Jereys' prior or the reference prior involves the undefined constants in the computation of the Bayes factors. Therefore under the reference priors, we develop the Bayesian testing procedures with the intrinsic Bayes factors and the fractional Bayes factor. Simulation study for the performance of the developed testing procedures is given, and an example for illustration is given.
