  • A fatigue damage accumulation model based on the continuum damage mechanics theory was developed where modulus decay ratios in tension and shear were used as indicators for damage variables D. In the model, the damage variables are considered to be second-order tensors. Then, the maximum principal damage variable, $D^*$ is introduced. According to the similarity to the principal stress, $D^*$ is obtained as the maximum eigen value of damage tensor [D]. Under proportional tension and torsion loadings, fatigue lives were satisfactorily predicted at any combined stress ratios using the present model in which the Fatigue characteristics only under uniaxial tension and pure torsion loadings were needed. Fatigue life prediction under uniaxial tension and pure torsion loadings, was performed based on the damage mechanics using boundary element method.

  • This paper proposes an interaction field concept based on the field theory of plasticity. Relative deformation between two arbitrary scales, e.g., macro and micro fields, is defined which can be implemented in the crystal plasticity-based constitutive framework. Differential geometrical quantities responsible for describing dislocations and defects in the interaction field are obtained, based on which dislocation density and incompatibility tensors are further derived. It is shown that the explicit interaction exists in the curvature or incompatibility tensor field, whereas no interaction in the torsion or dislocation density tensor field. General expressions of the interaction fields over multiple scales with more than three scale levels are derived and implemented into the present constitutive equation.

  • Contemporary differential geometry owes much to the theory of connections on the bundles over manifolds. In this paper, following the work of Gauss on surfaces in 3 dimensional space and the work of Riemann on the curvature tensors on general n dimensional Riemannian manifolds, we will investigate how differential geometry had been developed from mid 19th century to early 20th century through lives and mathematical works of Christoffel, Ricci-Curbastro and Levi-Civita. Christoffel coined the Christoffel symbol and Ricci used the Christoffel symbol to define the notion of covariant derivative. Levi-Civita completed the theory of absolute differential calculus with Ricci and discovered geometric meaning of covariant derivative as parallel transport.

  • A sumbanifold M of a quaternionic Kaehlerian manifold $\tilde{M}^m$ of real dimension 4m is called a generic submanifold if the normal space N(M) of M is always mapped into the tangent space T(M) under the action of the quaternionic Kaehlerian structure tensors of the ambient manifold at the same time.The purpose of the present paper is to study generic submanifold of quaternionic Kaehlerian manifold of constant Q-sectional curvature with nonvanishing parallel mean curvature vector. In section 1, we state general formulas on generic submanifolds of a quaternionic Kaehlerian manifold of constant Q-sectional curvature. Section 2 is devoted to the study generic submanifolds with nonvanishing parallel mean curvature vector and compute the restricted Laplacian for the second fundamental form in the direction of the mean curvature vector. As applications of those results, in section 3, we prove our main theorems. In this paper, the dimension of a manifold will always indicate its real dimension.

  • This paper deals with wave propagations in solid state electron plasmas from the view point of treating the plasma as a conducting fluid, and especially consideration is extended to the effect of diffusion on the permittivities and dispersion relations. The analysis is based on the conception of the self-consistent field approximation. It is shown for the cases of the specific physical configurations that the positions of the null elements in the permittivity tensors are not affected by the diffusion terms, and the diffusion effect appears only in the case of the space-charge wave. It is also shown that the magnitude of the real part of wave vector is in proportion to the 3/2nds power of the field in some regions.

  • The present study initially identify the generalized symmetric connections of type (α, β), which can be regarded as more generalized forms of quarter and semi-symmetric connections. The quarter and semi-symmetric connections are obtained respectively when (α, β) = (1, 0) and (α, β) = (0, 1). Taking that into account, a new generalized symmetric metric connection is attained on Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifolds. In compliance with this connection, some results are obtained through calculation of tensors belonging to Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifold involving curvature tensor, Ricci tensor and Ricci semi-symmetric manifolds. Finally, we consider CR-submanifolds admitting a generalized symmetric metric connection and prove many interesting results.

  • This paper proposes a new panoramic image synthesis method using flash and no-flash image pairs, which reduces undesirable artifacts. Generally, in panoramic images, it is difficult to determine to use a flash in indoor environment. A flash image has unwanted artifacts such as hot spots and tunnel effect whereas a no-flash image also has artifacts like glass reflection. We derive cross projection tensors using flash and no-flash image pairs and transform the gradient field of a no-flash image using them. The image reconstructed from the modified gradient provides enhanced results, which are applied to synthesis of panoramic images. The proposed method can provide a better panoramic image than the conventional method. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

  • The damage of concrete subjected to multiaxial complex loading involves strong anisotropy due to its highly heterogeneous nature and the geometrically anisotropic characteristic of the microcracks. A comprehensive description of concrete damage is proposed by introducing a fourth-order anisotropic damage tenser. The evolution of damage is assumed to be related to the principal components of the current states of stress and damage. The unilateral effect of damage due to the closure and opening of microcracks is taken into account by introducing projection tensors that are also determined by the current state of stress. The proposed damage model considers the different kinds of damage mechanisms that result in different failure modes and different patterns of microdefects that cause different unilateral effects. This damage model is embedded in a thermomechanically consistent constitutive equation in which hardening and the triaxial compression caused shear-enhanced compaction can also be taken into account. The validity of the proposed model is verified by comparing theoretical and experimental results of plain and steel fiber reinforced concrete subjected to complex triaxial stress histories.

  • Full maximum-entropy mobility-spectrum analysis (FMEMSA) is the best algorithm among mobility spectrum analyses by which we can obtain a set of partial-conductivities associated with mobility values (mobility spectrum) by analyzing magnetic-field-dependent conductivity-tensors. However, it is restricted to a direct band-gap semiconductor and should be modified for materials with other band structures. We developed the modified version of FMEMSA which is appropriate for a material with a single anisotropic valley, or an indirect-band-gap semiconductor quantum-well with a single non-degenerate conduction-band valley e.g., (110)-oriented AlAs quantum wells with a single anisotropic valley. To demonstrate the reliability of the modified version, we applied it to several sets of synthetic measurement datasets. The results demonstrated that, unlike existing FMEMSA, the modified version could produce accurate mobility spectra of materials with a single anisotropic valley.
