A high-order potential-based panel method based on Green's theorem, with piecewise-linear dipole strength on triangular panels, is formulated for the analysis of potential flow around a three-dimensional wing. Previous low-order panel methods adopt square panels with piecewise-constant dipole strength, which results in inherent errors. Square panels can not represent a high curvature lifting body, such as propellers, since the four vertices of the square panel do not locate at the same flat plane. Moreover the piecewise-constant dipole strength induces inevitable errors due to the steps in dipole strength between adjacent panels. In this paper a high-order panel method is formulated to improve accuracy by adopting a piecewise linear dipole strength on triangular panels. Firstly, the square panels are replaced by triangular panels in order to increase the geometric accuracy in representing the shape of the object with large curvature. Next, the step difference of the dipole strength between adjacent panels is removed by adopting piecewise-linear dipole strength on the triangular panels. The calculated results by the present method is compared with analytical ones for simple non-lifting geometries, such as ellipsoid. The results for an elliptic wing with zero thickness at finite angle of attack are compared with Jordan's results. The comparison shows reasonable agrements for the both lifting and non-lifting bodies.

This paper proposes a stability condition in discrete-time affine Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems with parametric uncertainties and then, introduces the design method of a fuzzy-model-based controller which guarantees the stability. The analysis is based on Lyapunov functions that are continuous and piecewise quadratic. The search for a piecewise quadratic Lyapunov function can be represented in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs).

Mechanical problems are basically three dimensional nonlinear dynamic problems, which makes it difficult to solve. The difficulties are tried to overcome by modeling, i.e., simplifications of the system with the assumptions or negligence of minute effects. However, the correctness or usefulness of the model should be verified through the comparison with experimental results, which is the process of physical understanding of the system. The understanding of physics of the system make it possible to design or operation of the system. The effects of clearance and friction are always difficult problems in mechanical system due to its nonlinearity. The nonlinearity comes from piecewise-linear characteristics of the stiffness and damping of the system. The modeling of piecewise-linearity and the experimental result are discussed in this paper for impact and friction oscillator and rotor rubbing problem, which is the combination of impact and friction problems.

Single-phase power factor correction (PFC) converter circuits are non-linear systems due to the contribution of their multiplier. This non-linearity causes difficulties in analysis and design. Models that reduce the system to a linear system involve considerable approximation, and produce results that are susceptible to instability problems. In this paper a piecewise affine (PWA) system is introduced for describing the nonlinear averaged model. Then robust output feedback controllers are established in terms of the linear matrix inequality (LMI). Simulation and experiments results show the effectiveness of the proposed control method.

Before other statistical data analysis the preprocessing steps should be performed adequately to have meaningful results. These steps include processes such as baseline correction, normalization, denoising, and multiple alignment. In this paper an algorithm for baseline correction is proposed with using the piecewise cubic Hermite interpolation with block-selected points and local minima after denoising for SELDI or MALDI mass spectrometry data.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the piecewise wise polynomial approximation for the curved boundary. We analyze the error of an approximated solution due to this approximation and then compare the approximation errors for the cases of polygonal and piecewise polynomial approximations for the curved boundary. Based on the results of analysis, p-version numerical methods for solving Dirichlet's problems are applied to any smooth curved domain.

In this study, to analyze the effect of buildings on the image co-registration performance, co-registration results are compared according to the presence or absence of matching points extracted from buildings. To remove the matching points extracted from buildings, a building mask generated by extracting building objects from the digital topographic map was used. In addition, matching points extraction performance and image co-registration accuracy were analyzed according to the magnitude of the convergence angle. Image co-registration results were compared by applying the affine and piecewise linear transformation models, respectively. According to the experimental results, the affine transformation model showed an overall improvement in accuracy after removing the matching points extracted from buildings. On the other hand, the piecewise linear transformation model improved the accuracy at the checkpoints including the surrounding buildings, but the accuracy improvement was not significant at checkpoints in the flat area without the existence of buildings. In addition, when the piecewise linear transformation model was applied, stable accuracy of less than 2 pixels was derived from images with a convergence angle of 20° or less.

This paper presents a piecewise image denoising with multi-scale block region detector based on quadtree structure for effective image restoration. Proposed piecewise image denoising method suggests multi-scale block region detector (MBRD) by dividing whole pixels of a noisy image into three parts, with regional characteristics: strong variation region, weak variation region, and flat region. These regions are classified according to total pixels variation between multi-scale blocks and are applied principal component analysis with local pixel grouping, bilateral filtering, and structure-preserving image decomposition operator called relative total variation. The performance of proposed method is evaluated by Experimental results. we can observe that region detection results generated by the detector seems to be well classified along the characteristics of regions. In addition, the piecewise image denoising provides the positive gain with regard to PSNR performance. In the visual evaluation, details and edges are preserved efficiently over the each region; therefore, the proposed method effectively reduces the noise and it proves that it improves the performance of denoising by the restoration process according to the region characteristics.

Piecewise Integrated Composite (PIC) is a new concept to design composite structures of multiple stacking angles both for in-plane direction and through the thickness direction in order to improve stiffness and strength. In the present study, PIC beam was suggested based on 3D training data instead of 2D data, which did offer a limited behavior of beam characteristics, with enhancing the stiffness accompanied by reduced tip deformation. Generally training data were observed from the designated reference finite elements, and preliminary FE analysis was conducted with respect to regularly distributed reference elements. Also triaxiality values for each element were obtained in order to categorize the loading state, i.e. tensile, compressive or shear. The main FE analysis was conducted to predict the mechanical characteristics of the PIC beam.
