Recently, there were significantly increased cracks failure for external fuel tank horizontal fin of F-5 aircraft. In this paper, the dynamic behavior of horizontal fin was to quantitate by using Finite Element Method. To achieve this goal, the fatigue analysis for time and frequeucy domain has been performed by using the dynamic load spectrum of speed brake. In conclusion, it was proved that fatigue life of the horizontal fin was reduced by the influence of dynamic behavior.

Is this study it is proposed a method which is able to compute preciously using time-difference method to the air-gap magnetic field in electric machines take into account of eddy current induced. The air-gap magnetic field has slot harmonics which are due to the structure of machines and the shape of slot harmonics varies with the related positions of slots when the rotor moves. Accordingly, considering the influence of slot-harmonics, we coupled macro-air-gap element with first-order triangular elements in domain and used direct-convergence method for magnetic saturation.

In common approaches, bridge dynamics under wind action is analyzed by modeling the interaction between fluid and structure by means of transient wind loads acting over the structure itself. Amid various possible manners to describe such types of loads, a representation based on families of 'indicial functions' is adopted here. The aim is to investigate its flexibility to capture the main features of wind-bridge interaction. A set of coefficients is involved in indicial functions. The values that one may attribute to them suffer uncertainties coming from experimental errors affecting data. Here, the sensitivity of a 2-DOF schematic model to the variations of these coefficients is investigated at fixed values of dynamic derivatives and for various types of indicial functions. It is shown how parameter variations influence phase portraits.

The radar method is becoming one of the major nondestructive testing (NDT) techniques for concrete structures. Numerical modeling of electromagnetic wave is needed to analyze radar measurement results and to study the influence of measurement parameters on the radar measurements. Finite difference-time domain (FD-TD) method is used to simulate electromagnetic wave propagation through concrete specimens. In the experiments, three concrete specimens are made with the dimensions of 100 cm (length) x 100 cm (wideth) x 14 cm (depth). Three specimens had a Dl6 steel bar at 8, 10, 12 cm depth.

In this study, error estimates using the stress projecting scheme and adaptive nodal generation procedure in the element-free Galerkin(EFG) method are proposed. The essence of proposed error estimates is to use the difference between the values of the projected stress and these given directly by the EFG solution. The stress projection can be obtained simply by taking product of shape function based on a different domain of influence with the stresses at nodes. An adaptive procedure based on error estimates is discussed in this paper. By use of background integration cell, adding node scheme at high error norm area is proposed. To demonstrate the performance of proposed scheme, the convergence behavior is investigated for several examples

In this paper, we propose novel eigenstructure assignment method in full-state feedback for linear time-invariant MIMO system such that directions of some left eigenvectors are exactly assigned to the desired directions. It is required to consider the direction of left eigenvector in designing eigenstructure of closed-loop system, because the direction of left eigenvector has influence over excitation by associated input variables in time-domain response. Exact direction of a left eigenvector can be achieved by assigning proper right eigenvector set satisfying the conditions of the presented theorem based on Moore's theorem and the orthogonality of left and right eigenvector. The right eigenvector should reside in the subspace given by the desired eigenvalue, which restrict a number of designable left eigenvector. For the two cases in which desired eigenvalues are all real and contain complex number, design freedom of designable left eigenvector are given.

The distortion of an electrical pulse, which has a rise/fall time due to the dispersion and the reflection, on tapered microstrip lines has investigated In time domain. The voltage and current transfer functions are shown for the tapered line. The dispersion distortion obtained by using these trans(or functions are represented for the nonideal square pulse along the triangular, Tchebycheff and exponential tapered lines, and analyzed the influence of the reflection and the frequency dispersion on the distorted voltage wave in the tapered lines. The observed overshoot in front of the distorted wane is caused due to the frequency dispersion and the sustained tail of that comes from the reflection in the tapered line.

In a finite element analysis of the metal forming processes having large plastic deformation, largely distorted elements are unstable and hence they influence upon the result toward negative way so that adaptive remeshing is required to avoid a failure in the numerical computation. Therefore automatic mesh generation and regeneration is very important to avoid a numerical failure in a finite element analysis. In case of generating quadrilateral mesh, the automation is more difficult than that of triangular mesh because of its geometric complexity. However its demand is very high due to the precision of analysis. Thus, in this study, an automatic quadrilateral mesh generation and regeneration method using grid-based approach is developed. The developed method contains decision of grid size to generate initial mesh inside a two dimensional domain, classification of boundary angles and inner boundary nodes to improve element qualities in case of concave domains, and boundary projection to construct the final mesh.

Structural cracks may cause variations in structural stiffness and thus produce bilinear vibrations to structures. This study examines the dynamic behavior of structures with breathing cracks. A generalized algorithm based on the finite element method and bilinear theory was developed to study the influence of a breathing crack on the vibration characteristic. All the formulae derived in the time domain were applied to estimate the period of the overall bilinear motion cycle, and the contact effect was considered in the calculations by introducing the penetration of the crack surface. Changes in the dynamic characteristics of cracked structures are investigated by assessing the variation of natural frequencies under different crack status in either the open or closed modes. Results in estimation with vibrational behavior variation are significant compared with the experimental results available in the literature as well as other numerical calculations.

Lots of physical phenomena which deteriorate the faithfulness of radiological images exist. The most common types of degradation are a loss of resolution and an increase in noise. This article deals with resolution. factors that influence it. and its characterisation. The problem of resolution failure due to a generic blurring phenomenum is described diagramatically and mathematically. for both one dimensional and two dimensional signals. The definition of the point spread function. the line spread function. the convolution integral and the modulation transfer function are made. The concept of frequency domain operations using the Fourier Transform is also discussed.
