It is well-known that when singularities are located within the workspace of the parallel mechanism (PM), the usefulness of its workspace is significantly deteriorated. To handle this problem, we suggest an optimal design method which leads to more useful and larger workspace of the PM by taking its singularity locations into consideration in design process. Kinematic models of three selected planar PMs, a 5R type PM, a 3-RPR type planar PM, and a 3-RRR type planar PM, are derived via screw theory and their singularity analyses are conducted. Then workspace optimal designs for those three PMs are conducted to verify that the suggested design method leads more useful and larger workspace in which deterioration by singularity is minimal.

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.

With increasing use of SUH35/SUH3 dissimilar materials for automotive engine valves, it is required that stress singularities under residual stress on an interface for friction welded dissimilar materials analyzed to establish strength evaluation. The stress singularity $index{\lambda}$ and stress singularities $factor{\Gamma}$ were calculated from using the results of stress analysis to consider residual stress and loads. The stress singularities on variations for shapes and thickness of welded flashes were analyzed and discussed. This paper suggested that the strength evaluation by using the stress singularity factors as fracture parameters, considering the stress singularity on an interface edge of friction welded dissimilar materials will be useful.

This paper investigates the phase singularity problem in microwave image reconstruction utilizing unwrapped phase data. The measured phases of the electric fields in most microwave measurement systems are wrapped. Thus, a certain phase unwrapping process is necessary for reconstruction of the image of a high contrast object. This unwrapping, however, is difficult in the presence of scattering nulls on/near the unwrapping path. At the null point, the phase value will be rendered, resulting in a poor image reconstruction. In this paper, we investigate the phase singularity arising from electromagnetic scattering nulls in microwave breast tomographic imaging. We then propose a transformation technique for the measured electric fields that avoids phase singularity.

The singularity system to represent two circular cylinders poised under different ambient flow fields is considered in the present research. The singularity system, being composed of a series of singularities, has to be truncated for numerical calculations. A rational criterion to determine how many terms of this series should be retained to maintain the prescribed accuracy is provided through analysis of the converging property of the series. A particular emphasis is put to how to deal with the discrete vortex model of a boundary layer, this possibility being the basis for the development of a tool to simulate vortex shedding from a structure composed of two circular cylinders. The principle to obtain the present singularity system can be applied to more-than-cylinders structure. Only th series become much more complex with increase of the number of cylinders.

There are three kinds of singularity in controlling redundant manipulators. Kinematic, algorithmic and representation singularities are those. If manipulators fall into any singularity without proper action to avoid it, the control system must go away from our desire, and we can meet a dangerous situation. Hence, we have to deal the singularities very carefully. In this paper, we describe an on-line solution for avoiding the occurrence of both algorithmic and kinematic singularities in task-priority based kinematic controllers of robotic manipulators. Representation singularity can be easily avoided by using proper representation algorithm, so, in this paper, we only consider kinematic and algorithmic singularities. The proposed approach uses a desired task reconstruction and a successive task projection in order to maintain the measure for singularity over a user defined minimum value. It shows a gain in performance and a better task error especially when working in proximity of singular configurations. It is particularly suitable for autonomous systems where an off-line trajectory control scheme is often not applicable. The advantage and performance of the proposed controller is verified by simulation works. And, the experiment with real manipulator is remaining for the future works.

The objectives of this research are to establish the criteria of peel occurrence considering the shape of bond terminus and to compare the strength properties of some adhesive joints. The criteria of feel occurrence at the bond terminus was suggested. Peel loads of some adhesive joint(butt joint, T -shape specimen, single lap joint) were determined from tensile tests. Principal stress distributions of these joints were determined from finite element method analysis. Then, peel occurrence was estimated with intensity of stress singularity ' $K_{prin.}$' when the terminus shape was square, with average principal stress when the terminus shape was rounded. The conclusions are summarized as follows; (1) In the non-filleted model(e.g., butt joint, T-shape specimen), principal stress shows singularity at the bond terminus, intensity of stress(principal stress) singularity ' $K_{prin.}$&apso; can use as the criteria of peel occurrence at the bond terminus. (2) In the filleted model(e.g., single lap joint), principal stress doesn't show singularity at the bond terminus. Average principal stress can use as the criteria of peel occurrence at the bond terminus.'t show singularity at the bond terminus. Average principal stress can use as the criteria of peel occurrence at the bond terminus.

A conceptual model can be used to manage complexity in both the design and implementation phases of the system development life cycle. Such a model requires a firm grasp of the abstract principles on which a system is based, as well as an understanding of the high-level nature of the representation of entities and processes. In this context, models can have distinct architectural characteristics. This paper discusses model multiplicity (e.g., unified modeling language [UML]), model singularity (e.g., object-process methodology [OPM], thinging machine [TM]), and a heterogeneous model that involves multiplicity and singularity. The basic idea of model multiplicity is that it is not possible to present all views in a single representation, so a number of models are used, with each model representing a different view. The model singularity approach uses only a single unified model that assimilates its subsystems into one system. This paper is concerned with current approaches, especially in software engineering texts, where multimodal UML is introduced as the general-purpose modeling language (i.e., UML is modeling). In such a situation, we suggest raising the issue of multiplicity versus singularity in modeling. This would foster a basic appreciation of the UML advantages and difficulties that may be faced during modeling, especially in the educational setting. Furthermore, we advocate the claim that a multiplicity of views does not necessitate a multiplicity of models. The model singularity approach can represent multiple views (static, behavior) without resorting to a collection of multiple models with various notations. We present an example of such a model where the static representation is developed first. Then, the dynamic view and behavioral representations are built by incorporating a decomposition strategy interleaved with the notion of time.

It is desirable to have a way to predict the pressure drag due to various appendages attached to stern. As a mathematical model for these, a sphere and a singularity behind it, both in the uniform flow can be considered. We may use the Butler's sphere theorem to find the Stokes' stream function when the resulting flow is axisymmetric, and then the extended Lagally's theorem to get the force upon the sphere due to the singularity. Assuming the separation distance between the sphere and the singularity is small, the leading order approximation for the force is obtained and it is found out that if the separation distance and the square root of the strength of the dipole are of the same order, the effect of the image of the dipole with respect to the sphere is the most important.
