A method for developing a visual information concept that analogously compares and analyzes macroscopic data changes in a simple form is needed. The development of the visual information concept requires the selection of visualization form, selection of rhetorical effects, and selection of digital expression elements. Among them, an example of a rhetorical effect selection method for effectively delivering visual information to a user is presented. In this study, metaphorical rhetoric, which allows data comparison and analysis from a macroscopic point of view, was selected for stock price analysis by period and industry. We present a two-dimensional three-stage shape change using a dandelion with spreading cockle hair as a metaphor and a three-dimensional three-stage shape change information expression method using a coral peony flower that changes shape and color according to time as a metaphor. Using this rhetorical metaphor, it is possible to compare macroscopic trading changes and stock prices by industry.

This study concerns an advanced 3D surface reconstruction method that the vertices of surface model can be completely matched to the unstructured point cloud measured from arbitrary complex shapes. The concept of bounding voxel model is introduced to generate the mesh model well-representing the geometrical and topological characteristics of point cloud. In the reconstruction processes, the application of various methodologies such as shrink-wrapping, mesh simplification, local subdivision surface fitting, insertion of is isolated points, mesh optimization and so on, are required. Especially, the effectiveness, rapidity and reliability of the proposed surface reconstruction method are demonstrated by the simulation results for the geometrically and topologically complex shapes like dragon and human mouth.

In general, internal defects, such as shrinkage in casting, cause stress concentration and can be a starting point for cracks. Therefore, it is important to understand the effects of internal defects on the mechanical properties including the impact behavior. This study aim is to evaluate the effects of internal casting defects on the impact performance of Al-alloy castings. Both an experimental method and computational analysis were used to achieve the research objective. The internal defects in the casting were scanned using an industrial CT scanner, and their shape was simplified using ellipsoidal primitives for impact analysis. The good agreement between the experimental and computer simulation results verified the reliability of the proposed computational method for the FEA of casting components with internal defects.

In this paper, we propose a 3D mesh reconstruction method from a single image using deep learning and a sphere shape transformation method. The proposed method has the following originality that is different from the existing method. First, the position of the vertex of the sphere is modified to be very similar to the 3D point cloud of an object through a deep learning network, unlike the existing method of building edges or faces by connecting nearby points. Because 3D point cloud is used, less memory is required and faster operation is possible because only addition operation is performed between offset value at the vertices of the sphere. Second, the 3D mesh is reconstructed by covering the surface information of the sphere on the modified vertices. Even when the distance between the points of the 3D point cloud created by correcting the position of the vertices of the sphere is not constant, it already has the face information of the sphere called face information of the sphere, which indicates whether the points are connected or not, thereby preventing simplification or loss of expression. can do. In order to evaluate the objective reliability of the proposed method, the experiment was conducted in the same way as in the comparative papers using the ShapeNet dataset, which is an open standard dataset. As a result, the IoU value of the method proposed in this paper was 0.581, and the chamfer distance value was It was calculated as 0.212. The higher the IoU value and the lower the chamfer distance value, the better the results. Therefore, the efficiency of the 3D mesh reconstruction was demonstrated compared to the methods published in other papers.

Objective: This study is aimed at developing Articulated Human Models(AHM) using superquadrics to improve the geometric accuracy of the body shape. Background: The previous work presents the AHM with geometrical simplification such as ellipsoids to improve analysis efficiency. However, because of the simplicity, their physical properties such as a center of mass and moment of inertia are computed with errors compared to their actual values. Method: This paper introduces a three steps method to present the AHM with superquadrics. First, a 3D whole body scan data are divided into 17 body segments according to body joints. Second, superquadric fitting is employed to minimize the Euclidean distance between body segments and superquadrics. Finally, Fee-Form Deformation is used to improve accuracy over superquadric fitting. Results: Our computational experiment shows that the superquadric models give better accuracy of dynamic analysis than that of ellipsoid ones. Conclusion: We generate the AHM composed of 17 superquadrics and 16 joints using superquadric fitting. Application: The AHM using superquadrics can be used as the base model for dynamics and ergonomics applications with better accuracy because it presents the human motion effectively.

Steel -Concrete Composite two girder railway bridges applying high performance steel with extra thick plate have economic and aesthetic advantages due to the simplification of manufacturing and construction process. However, steel bridges are seldom adopted in domestic railway bridge, since steel bridges are not efficient as R.C bridges considering dynamic characteristics and noise, etc. While highway bridges do not have lower horizontal bracing and larger interval of diaphragm cross beam, railway bridges install lower horizontal bracings to control the torsion due to heavy eccentrical line load. Accurate finite element analysis were performed with the parameters of existence of bracing and bracing shape, with the cross beam interval and stiffness, etc. To find out the effects of secondary members such as horizontal bracings and diaphragms, static md dynamic analysis have been performed by using finite element method. In this study, few member plate-girder bridges are analyzed with variable span lengths to examine the dynamic behavior and limits of damping. And though lateral bracings are members against torsion, but lateral bracing's absence is no big problem. Time history analysis using mode superposition method makes proof of this result.

Internal defects are a major concern in the casting process because they have a significant influence on the strength and fatigue life of casting products. In general, they cause stress concentration and can be a starting point of cracks. Therefore, it is important to understand the effects of internal defects on mechanical properties such as fatigue life. In this study, fatigue experiments on tensile specimens with internal defects were performed. The internal defects in the casting product were scanned by an industrial CT scanner, and its shape was simplified by ellipsoidal primitives for the structural and fatigue analysis. The analysis results were compared with experimental results for casting products with internal defects. It was demonstrated that it is possible to consider internal defects of casting products in stress and fatigue analysis. The proposed method provides a tool for the prediction of the fatigue life of casting products and the investigation of the effects of internal defects on mechanical performance.

The local geometric properties such as curvatures and normal vectors play important roles for analyzing the local shape of objects in the fields of computer graphics and computer vision. The result of the geometric operations such as mesh simplification and mesh smoothing is dependent on how to compute the curvatures of meshes because there is no exact mathematical definition of curvature at vertices on 3D meshes. Therefore, In this paper, we indicate the fatal error in computing the sectional curvatures of the most previous discrete curvature estimations. Moreover, we present a discrete curvature estimation to overcome the error, which is based on the parabola interpolation and the geometric properties of Bezier curves. Therefore, We can well distinguish between the sharp vertices and the flat ones, so our method may be applied to a variety of geometric operations.

This study was conducted in order to spread out lower body 3D scan data of men in their twenties. The aim was to achieve slacks pattern with ease allowance through comparison with existing flat patterns. For conversion of 3D scan data into 20 pattern, reference lines were established by using Rapid Foam in 3D shape analysis software. 2C-AN program and Yuka CAD were used to convert 20 pattern earned with straight posture of 3D scan data into slacks pattern by using Triangle Simplification & Runge-Kutta Method. In order to achieve this we needed to set a line 9cm below the hip line, to array vertex of each block to crease line while maintaining the horizontal line. And then we needed to set ease allowance in back crotch and to set waist circumference or hip circumference ease allowance in side seam of slacks. Results showed that long front crotch length can be achieved if 3D scan data is compared with 20 existing flat pattern. Slacks pattern that raise front crotch by about 1.5cm compared to back crotch and also possess ease allowance in back crotch area are great in appearance evaluation.

The conventional techniques for the prediction of natural frequency are often used to estimate the floor vibration. However. the predicted frequency differs significantly from the measured one since the predicted equation is not able to proper1y treat various material type. Transformation of slab section is necessary to predict natural frequency of composite deck plate, and this effort is complicated due to the various shape of each deck plate. In this study, a new simplified methodology to transform slab section is proposed, which treats effective depth as the distance from the top of a concrete topping to neutral axis of each deck plate. Finally proposed equation with fairly reasonable result compared to the measured values is obtained. based on the modification of vibration equation from LRFD theory. This efforts enhance errors in predicting frequency up to 15％.
