Friction welding has may merits such as energy efficiency, simple processing, etc. but it is difficult to obtain good welding at the welded interfaces and heat affected zone. It is discovered that stress singularity exists at the interferes and heat affected zone. The computer program based on boundary element method is utilized in this study. A mathematical model is implemented based on results from several experiments performed at and around the welded interfaces and heat affected zone of disimilar metals under static and dynamic loadings. This stay is to investigate the characteristics of the deformation and fracture behavior around interfaces for friction welded materials under static tensile load. Also, the stress distribution at the tip of crack is analyzed by using BU based on Kelvin's solution of 2-dimensional binding zone. The results of BEM are identical with those in case of considering interfaces of both heat affected zone. Also, stress singularity at the tip of interfaces appears when the elastic modulus ratio is 1.07.

If an error occurs in the automatic mode when the advanced teleoperator system performs a task in hostile environment then the automatic mode changes into the manual mode. The operation by the control program and the operation by a human recover the error in the manual mode. The system resumes the automatic mode and continues the given task. It is necessary to improve the manual mode in order to make the best use of a man-robot system, as a part of the human interface technique. Therefore, the error recovery task is performed by combining the operation by the control program representing autonomy of a robot and the operation by a human representing versatility of a human operator effectively in the view point of human factors engineering. The geometric inverse kinematics is used for the calculation of the robot joint values in the operation by the control program. The singularity operation error and the parameter operation error often occur in this procedure. These two operation errors increase the movement time of the robot and the coordinate reading time, during the error recovery task. A singularity algorithm, parameter algorithm and fuzzy control are studied so as to remove the disadvantages of geometric inverse kinematics. And the geometric straight line motion is studied so as to improve the disadvantages of the operation by a human.

In order to analyze general three dimensional cracks in an infinite body, the symmetric Galerkin boundary element method formulated by Li and Mear is used. A crack is modelled as distribution of displacement discontinuities, and the governing equation is formulated as singularity-reduced integral equations. With the proposed method several example problems for three dimensional cracks in an infinite solid, as well as their growth under fatigue, are solved and the accuracy and efficiency of the method are demonstrated.

In this study, the singular thermal stresses induced during cooling down from high temperature to room temperature have been analyzed for the viscoelastic thin layer. The time domain boundary element method has been employed to investigate the behavor of stresses for the whole interface. Within the context of a linear viscoelastic theory, a stress singularity exists at the point where the interface between the elastic substrate and the viscoelastic thin layer intersects the free surface.

This paper deals with the singular stresses developed in a polymer coating on concrete due to temperature change. The boundary element method is employed to investigate the behavior of interface stresses. Numerical results show that very large stress gradients are present at the interface comer and such stress singularity dominates a very small region relative to layer thickness. Since the exceedingly large stresses at the interface corner cannot be borne by coating materials, local yielding or delamination can occur in the vicinity of free surface.

The residual thermal stresses at the interface corner between the elastic fiber and the viscoelastic matrix of a two-dimensional unidirectional laminate due to cooling from cure temperature down to room temperature were studied. The matrix material was assumed to be thermorheologically simple. The time-domain boundary element method was employed to investigate the nature of stresses on the interface. Numerical results show that very large stress gradients are present at the interface corner and this stress singularity might lead to local yielding or fiber-matrix debonding.

A reduced condition for liquid-gas phase transition from the singularity of compressibility is derived using diagrammatic approach and is examined in the hard sphere system. The condition turns out that the Percus-Yevick and the Hyper-Netted-Chain approximation never conceive the idea of phase transition, and explains that the liquid-gas transition does not exist in hard sphere system. The solid-fluid transition is considered on the viewpoint of correlation function and diagrammatic analysis.

We. develop in this study a wavelet transform method to apply to the flux reconstruction problem in reactor analysis. When we reconstruct pinwise heterogeneous flux by iterative methods, a difficulty arises due to the near singularity of the matrix as the mesh size becomes finer. Here we suggest a wavelet transform to tower the spectral radius of the near singular matrix and thus to converge by a standard iterative scheme. We find that the spectral radios becomes smatter than one after the wavelet transform is performed on sample problems.

좌심실비대는 심혈관계의 합병증을 유발함으로 임상적으로 문제가 되고 있으며 선별진단이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 심장초음파상 좌심실비대로 판단된 30~80대의 환자 50명을 대상으로 심전도검사와 비교 분석하였다. 좌심실질량지수와 Sokolow-Lyon 공식에 의해 회귀분석을 하였으며, 두 검사 방법의 적정성을 평가하기 위해 ROC 분석을 이용하였다. 좌심실비대의 위험 요인인 나이와 체질량지수, 수축기 혈압, 확장기 혈압이 좌심실 비대 진단 검사의 기준치와 양의 상관성을 보였다. 심장초음파로 진단된 50명의 환자에서 심전도검사에서는 21명만이 진단되었다. 분석결과로 심장초음파에서는 AUC 99%, 민감도 96%, 특이도 95%, 정확도 95.5%였으며, 심전도검사에서 AUC 76%, 민감도 62%, 특이도 76%, 정확도 68% 인 것으로 나타났다. 좌심실비대 진단에 있어 심장초음파와 심전도검사의 정확도를 비교했을 때 심장초음파가 정확성 높은 검사란 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 1차 선별검사로 심전도검사에서 정상 판정을 받더라도, 나이와, 체질량지수, 수축기 혈압, 확장기 혈압에 대한 수치를 고려하여 심장초음파 검사를 고려해야할 필요성이 있다.

Construction contactors must continuously seek to improve their cash flows, which reside at the heart of their financial success. They require careful planning, analysis, and optimization to avoid the risk of bankruptcy, remain profitable, and secure long-term growth. Sources of cash include bank loans and retained earnings, which are conceptually similar in that they both incur a cost of capital. Financial management therefore requires accurate yet customizable modeling capabilities that can quantify all expenses, including said cost of capital. However, currently existing cash flow models in construction engineering and management have strongly simplified the manner in which interest is assessed, which may even lead to overstating it at a disadvantage to contractors. The variable nature of cash balances, especially in the early phases of construction projects, contribute to this challenging issue. This research therefore extends a new cash flow model with an accurate interest calculation. It utilizes singularity functions, so called because of their ability to flexibly model changes across any number of different ranges. The interest function is continuous for activity costs of any duration and allows the realistic case that activities may begin between integer time periods, which are often calendar months. Such fractional interest calculation has hitherto been lacking from the literature. It also provides insights into the self-referential behavior of compound interest for variable cash balances. The contribution of this study is twofold; augmenting the corpus of financial analysis theory with a new interest formula, whose strengths include its generic nature and that it can be evaluated at any fractional value of time, and providing construction managers with a tool to help improve and fine-tune the financial performance of their projects.
