A 15-Lead ECG has been developed to diagnose posterior wall diseases of the heart that a 12-Lead ECG cannot diagnose. However, 15-Lead ECG data for developing heart-diseases-detecting algorithm are limited, and previous ECG simulators cannot predict the ECG waveform according to the changes in electrode. To solve these problems, the lumped parameter model (LPM), which divides the heart into 15 sections with varying electrical capacitance and electrical resistance. To imitate the electrical conduction in the heart, each node was connected to a current source and delivered the specific current considering the positions and time delay. The purpose of this study is to acquire the waveform that can be used in an ECG by delivering the specific current to LPM.

The production of high value-added products requires efficient processing and this constant demand for complex shape processing has led to the need for hybrid processing. In this study, the surface characteristics of hybrid machining, which combines wire-cut E.D.M and vibration, are examined. The selected experimental parameters are verticality, waveform, amplitude, peak current and frequency. The experimental results provide a guideline for selecting reasonable machining parameters. Surface roughness was improved by increasing the amplitude of the vibration.

Recently, high-efficiency machining in the production of high-value products with complex shapes has constantly been required along with the need for hybrid machining. In this study, in addition to wire-cut Electric Discharge Machining (EDM) and vibration, we present the possibility of a hybrid process by carrying out an experiment with aluminum alloy, and the hybrid process determines the nature of the surface. The selected experimental parameters are waveform, amplitude, peak current, and two-dimensional (2D) vibration. The experimental results give the guideline for selecting reasonable machining parameters. The surface roughness was improved about 20% with increases in the amplitude of the vibration.

In this paper, a simplified ultrasonic CT system, which uses the information in three directions, that is, 90°, ＋45° and －45°about the inspection plane, is applied to the high strength steel, and the frequency analysis method for enhancing the C scan or CT image is developed. This frequency analysis method is based on the frequency response property of the material. By comparing the magnitudes in the frequency domain, the special frequency which shows a significant difference between the welded joint and base material was found and used to obtain a C scan or CT image. Experimental results for several kinds of specimens, having a welded joint by electron beam welding, a weld joint by arc welding, on a fatigue crack, showed that the obtained C scan or CT image has better resolution than the results of previous experiments using the maximum value of the received waveform.

The sensor configuration of the magnetostrictive guided wave system can be described as a single continuous transducing element which makes it difficult to separate the individual modes from the reflected signal. In this work we develop the mode decomposition technique employing chirplet transform, which is able to separate the individual modes from dispersive and multimodal waveform measured with the magnetostrictive sensor, and to estimate the time-frequency centers and individual energies of the reflection, which would be used to locate and characterize defects. The reflection coefficients are calculated using the modal energies of the separated mode. Results from experimental results on a carbon steel pipe are presented, which show that the accurate and quantitative defect characterization could become enabled using the proposed technique.

The implementation of chirplet transform to locate axially aligned defects in pipes has been investigated. The results are obtained from experiments performed on a carbon steel pipe using magnetostrictive sensors. Chirplet transform is applied to the reflected signal to separate the individual modes from dispersive and multimodal waveform. The separated modes are used to calculate reflection coefficients which would be used to characterize defects. It is found that the reflection from a defect consists of the wave pulses with gradually decaying amplitudes. Also the results show that the reflection coefficient initially increases with the crack length but finally reaches an oscillating regime.

The characteristics of elastic waves emanated from crack initiation in 6061 aluminum alloy subjected to fatigue loading are investigated through experiments. The objective of the study is to determine the differences in the properties of the signals generated from fatigue test and also to examine if the sources of the waves could be identified from the temporal and spectral characteristics of the acoustic emission (AE) waveforms. The signals are recorded using nonresonant, flat, broadband transducers attached to the surface of the alloy specimens. The time dependence and power spectra of the signals recorded during the tests were examined and classified according to their special features. Six distinct types of signals were observed. The waveforms and their power spectra were found to be dependent on the crack propagation stage and the type of fracture associated with the signals. The potential application of the approach in health monitoring of structural components using a network of surface mounted broadband sensors is discussed.

The sensor configuration of the magnetostrictive guided wave system can be described as a single continuous transducing element which makes it difficult to separate the individual modes from the reflected signal. In this work we develop the mode decomposition technique employing chirplet transform based on the maximum likelihood estimation, which is able to separate the individual modes from dispersive and multimodal waveform measured with the magnetostrictive sensor, and estimate the time-frequency centers and individual energies of the reflection, which would be used to locate and characterize defects. Simulation results on a carbon steel pipe are presented, which show the accurate mode separation and more discernible time-frequency representation could become enabled using the proposed technique.

Atherosclerosis is a disease that narrows, thickens, hardens, and restructures a blood vessel due to substantial plaque deposit. The geometric models of the considered stenotic blood flow are three different types of constriction of cross-sectional area of blood vessel; 25%, 50%, and 75% of constriction. The computational model with the fluid-structure interaction is introduced to investigate the wall shear stresses, blood flow field and recirculation zone in the stenotic vessels. The velocity profile in a compliant stenotic artery with various constrictions is subjected to prescribed physiologic waveform. The computational simulations were performed, in which the physiological flow through a compliant axisymmetric stenotic blood vessel was solved using commercial software ADINA 8.4 developed by finite element method. We demonstrated comparisons of the wall shear stress with or without the fluid-structure interaction and their velocity profiles under the physiological flow condition in the compliant stenotic artery. The present results enhance our understanding of the hemodynamic characteristics in a compliant stenotic artery.
