With increasing use of ceramics/metal bonded joints, It is required to analyze the residual stress distribution and stress singularity at an interface edge for its bonded joints. In this paper, the residual stress distribution and stress singularity index of the ceramics/metal bonded joints were analyzed by using 2-dimensional elastic boundary element method. The variations of residual stress distribution and stress singularity index are studied with changes for the combinations of ceramics/metal bodned joints.

This study is carried out the theoretical studies on wave transmission and motions in waves of twin hull type floating breakwaters with the vertical and horizontal plate. The method of calculation is based on the three dimensional singularity distribution method. The results show that wave transmission is affected by heave motion. Twin hull type is designed by the use of the theoretical method and good performance of the developed floating breakwater is confirmed for longer wave period.

In addition to the development of micro hydro turbine, the challenge in micro hydro turbine design as sustainable hydro devices is focused on the optimization of turbine runner blade which have decisive effect on the turbine performance to reach higher efficiency. A multi-objective optimization method to optimize the performance of runner blade of propeller turbine for micro turbine has been studied. For the initial design of planar blade cascade, singularity distribution method and the combination of the Bezier curve parametric technology is used. A non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II(NSGA II) is developed based on the multi-objective optimization design method. The comparision with model test show that the blade charachteristics is optimized by NSGA-II has a good efficiency and load distribution. From model test and scale up calculation, the maximum prototype efficiency of the runner blade reaches as high as 90.87%.

In this paper, it is shown that the conventional methods for dealing with the singularity problem of a manipulator can be generalized as a local minimization problem with differently weighted objective functions. A new damping method proposed in this article automatically determines the damping amounts for singular values, which are inversely proportional to the magnitude of the singular values. Furthermore, this can be done without explicitly computing the singular values. The proposed method can be applied to all the manipulators with revolute joints.

Panel methods are useful tools for analyzing fluid-flow around a wing section. It has the advantage of fast and accurate calculation, compared to other CFD Methods such as RANS solvers. This paper suggests a piecewise linear panel method in order to improve accuracy of existing panel methods by changing the piecewise constant singularity strength to linear singularity strength(for dipole strength). The piecewise linear panel method adopts the linear distribution of singularity strength, while control point is located at the node of each panel. Formulation of the piecewise linear panel method is given, and some calculation results are shown for typical wing sections.

In this study, a submerged plate-type breakwater is considered, which is supported by elastic foundation. This breakwater makes use of wave phase interaction among the incident, diffracted and radiated waves. We apply a three-dimensional singularity distribution method within the linear potential theory in order to describe the wave field. The submerged plate is assumed to be rigid and the elastic support be a linear spring with constant stiffness. A typical rectangle plate is exemplified for numerical calculation. The thickness of the plate is carefully selected in order to guarantee the solution to be stable by checking the condition number of the system matrix. A parametric study is carried out for examining the effect of the stiffness of the elastic support on performance of the breakwater. We also examine the effect of the submerged depth.

General formulation to analyse the rectangular thin plate on a soil medium by energy method is developed. In the problem, Boussinesque's formular needs to be integrated after assuming the contact stress distribution. Two different functions, i.e., power series and Chebychev polynomials are used to approximate the contact stress distribution. It was found that Chebychev polynomials are better function to describe the contact stress than power series. Chebychev polynomials considering stress singularity around plate boundary is recommended as the desirable shape function for future research.

In the frequency range where the magnetostatic surface wave may be excited, the edge singularity of a microstrip line having a farrite layer is calculated by using the method proposed by Meixner. From the calculated edge singularity, the change of the current distribution near the edge to which the magnetostatic surface wave propagates is steeper than that near the other edge. And the edge conditions vary with frequency. These results agree with the previous numerical results.

In this study, stress analysis using Boundary Element Method (BEM) was carried to investigate stress distribution in the brazing joint between a Hardmetal and a HSS. The two models were proposed to analyze the stress singularity in the interfaces of the brazing joint. The material type, thickness of the filler metal and the length of the vertical brazing adhesive are considered in the BEM analysis. As results, the peak point of the stress is founded to be in the lower interface of the brazed joint. It should be noted that the maximum stress of the peak point is being affected by the thickness and length of the brazing joint.
