During earthquakes, braces behave in complex manners because of the asymmetric response nature of their responses in tension and compression. Hollow structural sections (HSS) have been popularly used for braces due to their sectional efficiency in compression. The purpose of this study is to accurately simulate the cyclic behavior of rectangular HSS braces using a computationally efficient numerical model. A conceptually efficient and simple physical theory model is used as a basis model. To improve the accuracy of the model, cyclic beam growth and buckling load, as well as the incidences of local buckling and brace fracture are estimated using empirical equations obtained from regression analyses using test data on rectangular HSS braces. The accuracy of the proposed model is verified by comparing actual and simulated cyclic curves of brace specimens with various slenderness and width-to-thickness ratios.

최근 MPEG 에서는 인공신경망 모델을 다양한 딥러닝 프레임워크에서 상호운용 가능한 포맷으로 압축 표현할 수 있는 NNR(Compression of Neural Network for Multimedia Content Description and Analysis) 표준화를 진행하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 MPEG-NNR 에서 CNN 모델을 압축하기 위한 지역 비선형 양자화(Local Non-linear Quantization: LNQ) 기법을 제시한다. 제안하는 LNQ 는 균일 양자화된 CNN 모델의 각 계층의 가중치 행렬 블록 단위로 추가적인 비선형 양자화를 적용한다. 또한, 제안된 LNQ 는 가지치기(pruning)된 모델의 경우 블록내의 영(zero) 값의 가중치들은 그대로 전송하고 영이 아닌 가중치만을 이진 군집화를 적용한다. 제안 기법은 음성 분류를 위한 CNN 모델(DCASE Task)의 압축 실험에서 기존 균일 양자화를 대비 동일한 분류 성능에서 약 1.78 배 압축 성능 향상이 있음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we present a motion compensated video compression method based on both block and object motions. A simplified objectoriented motion parameter is estimated from the block based motion vectors. A decision rule for the global or local MCP modes is established. Simulation results show that the proposed method has lower bit-rates than the BMA based method at the same reconstruction errors.

Most patients who have suffered from pain and muscle weakness on femoral nerve distributing area show no definite pathologic finding on X-ray or laboratory examinations. Therefore proper diagnosis is difficult to determine for the proper treatment of the symptoms. Based on my clinical experiences and anatomical studies, I have found most of these symptoms are a result of femoral nerve compression on trigger point of psoas major muscle. Accordingly, releasing the compression of femoral nerve by Laser stimulation and local anesthetic injection to the identified trigger point of psoas major muscle was found to be an effective treatment for femoral neuralgic pain.

Integral imaging is a well-known 3D image recording and display technique. The huge size of integral imaging data requires a compression scheme to store and transmit 3D scenes. In the conventional compression scheme, the data amount of elemental images depends on the various recording condition such as the positional location of a 3D object, the illumination and specification of the lenslet array even if an identical pickup system is used. In this paper, to reduce the dependence of the image characteristics of elemental images on the pickup conditions, a compression scheme using block division on the elemental image of integral imaging is proposed. The proposed scheme provides an improved compression ratio by considering the local similarity of elemental images picked up from three-dimensional objects according to a positional location. To test the proposed scheme, various elemental images are picked up and a compression process is then carried out u sing a standard MPEG-4. Based on compression ratio results, the proposed compression scheme is improved by approximately 9% compared with the conventional compression method.

This paper presents the results of an analytical investigation pertaining to the elastic local buckling behavior of asymmetric edge stiffened orthotropic open section structural member under uniform compression. The asymmetric edge stiffener is considered as a beam element neglecting its torsional rigidity. We suggested the analytical model of asymmetric edge stiffeners which is composed of a strip of flange plate, equal width of edge stiffener, and a plate attached at the flange end, and computed the moment of inertia of the stiffener about an axis through the centroid of the ensuing cross-section. Using the derived equation, the local buckling coefficients of asymmetrically edge stiffened orhtotropic I-section columns are predicted and the results are presented in a graphical form.

This paper reviews most of the research done in the field of tensile buckling characteristics pertaining to aerospace structural elements with special attention to local buckling and parametric excitation due to periodic loading on plate and shell elements. The concepts of buckling in aerospace structures appear as the result of the application of a global compressive applied load or shear load. A less usual situation is the case, in which a global tensile stress creates buckling instability and the formation of complex spatial buckling pattern. In contrast to the case of a pure compression or shear load, here the applied macroscopic load has no compressive component and is thus globally stabilizing. The instability stems from a local compressive stress induced by the presence of a defect, such as a crack or a hole, due to partial or non-uniform applied load at the far end. This is referred to as tensile buckling. This paper discusses all aspects of tensile buckling, theoretical and experimental. Its far reaching applications causing local instability in aerospace structural components are discussed. The important effects on dynamic stability behaviour under locally induced periodic compression have been identified and influences of various parameters are discussed. Experimental results on simple and combination resonance characteristics on plate structures due to tensile buckling effects are elaborated.

Compression tests were conducted at the various temperatures and strain rates to investigate void formation and microstructures behavior of a 1.9wt%C ultrahigh carbon steel used in forged workrolls. The microstructure, grain size and volume fraction of cementite were determined using specimens deformed in the temperature range from 800 to $1150^{\circ}C$ and strain rates from 0.01 to 10/s. It was found from the microstructural analysis that the grain size is larger at higher temperatures and lower strain rate deformation conditions. In addition, a higher volume fraction of cementite was measured at lower temperatures. The brittle blocky cementite was fractured at $800^{\circ}C$ and $900^{\circ}C$ regardless of strain rate. As a result, numerous new micro voids were formed in the fragmented blocky cementite. It was also found that local melting can occur at temperatures of more than $1130^{\circ}C$. Therefore, the forging temperature should be controlled between $900^{\circ}C$ and $1120^{\circ}C$. The temperature rise, which depends on the anvil stroke and velocity, was estimated through cogging simulation to find the appropriate forging temperature and to prevent local melting due to plastic work.

Most studies of failure analysis in ductile metals have been based on the classical plasticity theory using the local constitutive relations. These frequently yields a physically unrealistic solution, in which a numerical prediction of the onset of a deformation localization shows an inherent mesh-size sensitivity. A one way to remedy the spurious mesh sensitivity resulted in the unreasonable results is to incorporate the non-local plasticity into the simulation model, which introduce an internal (material) length-scale parameter into the classical constitutive relations. In this paper, a non-local version of the modified Gurson constitutive relation has been introduced into the finite element formulation of the simulation for plane strain compression of the visco elastic-plastic void material. By introducing the non-local constitutive relations we could successfully removed the inherent mesh-size sensitivity for the prediction of the deformation localization. The effects of non-local constitutive relation are discussed in terms of the load-stroke curve and the strain distributions accross the shear band.

In general, electrocardiogram(ECG) signals are sampled with a frequency over 200Hz and stored for a long time. It is required to compress data efficiently for storing and transmitting them. In this paper, a method for compression of ECG data is proposed, using by Non Uniform B-spline approximation, which has been widely used to approximation theory of applied mathematics and geometric modeling. ECG signals are compressed and reconstructed using B-spline basis function which curve has local controllability and control a shape and curve in part. The proposed method selected additional knot with each step for minimizing reconstruction error and reduced time complexity. It is established that the proposed method using B-spline approximation has good compression ratio and reconstruct besides preserving all feature point of ECG signals, through the experimental results from MIT-BIH Arrhythmia database.
