In highly elevated piers and long span beams, a hollow section is often used to reduce the self-weight and increase the flexural rigidity of members. Numerical analysis was conducted to obtain the moment-curvature curves and curvature ductility factor for the RC hollow section beams under a range of hollow portion sizes and reinforcement conditions in the upper flange and web. The curvature ductility factor was constantly maintained until the hollow portion size($b_i/b_o/h_i/h_o$) was less than or equal to 0.5. The curvature ductility factor decreased sharply if ($b_i/b_o/h_i/h_o$) was 0.7 or more. The curvature ductility factor of the beam decreased if reinforcement was provided in the web of the RC hollow section beam. To obtain the same level of the ductility factor as the singly reinforced section, the reinforcement should be provided in the upper flange as much as the web reinforcement.

The surface curvatures extracted from the face contain the most important personal facial information. In particular, the face shape using the depth information represents personal features in detail. In this paper, we develop a method for recognizing the range face images by combining the multiple face regions using fuzzy integral. For the proposed approach, the first step tries to find the nose tip that has a protrusion shape on the face from the extracted face area and has to take into consideration of the orientated frontal posture to normalize. Multiple areas are extracted by the depth threshold values from reference point, nose tip. And then, we calculate the curvature features: principal curvature, gaussian curvature, and mean curvature for each region. The second step of approach concerns the application of eigenface and Linear Discriminant Analysis(LDA) method to reduce the dimension and classify. In the last step, the aggregation of the individual classifiers using the fuzzy integral is explained for each region. In the experimental results, using the depth threshold value 40 (DT40) show the highest recognition rate among the regions, and the maximum curvature achieves 98% recognition rate, incase of fuzzy integral.

As the radius of curvature of curved optical waveguide gets smaller, the loss increases at the junction of linear-curved waveguide by the cross sectional mode mismatch. The concept of lateral offset has been used widely to minimize it, and simple method of maximum matching has been efficient for most cases of silica waveguide with low optical confinement and large radius of curvature. Here, we analyzed that the propagation mode characteristics of the lateral offset and propagation mode characteristics of general case with effective index method and Airy function solution. As the normalized frequency varies, mode characteristics changes near the boundary of 1/V=0.7 and the simple matching of gaussian profile might give -35% of error at most. We proposed improved method with a new correction factor to improve the mode mismatch problem of conventional methods for general cases, and showed the convenience and feasibility of this method for the calculation of the lateral offset.

Purpose: This study was to know the correlation among refractive error and the dimensions of ocular components on older adults. Methods: The subjects were 95 older age who had no eye diseases. The refractive error, corneal radius, corneal diopter, axial length, anterior chamber depth and lens thickness were measured and analysed. Results: The axial length(AL)/corneal radius(CR) ratio was positively correlated with the corneal diopter, axial length, the anterior chamber depth. Then it was negatively correlated with corneal radius. It was shown that the highest correlation was between the corneal diopter and axial length (r = -0.545, p = 0.000). The spherical equivalent of the refractive error was negatively correlated with the AL/CR ratio. Conclusions: It was shown that the AL/CR ratio was a very important indicator for diagnosing the refractive error of the old age.

A computer software for nonlinear regression analysis, NLIN90, was developed to provide easy access and useful information for more precise analysis which can be obtained from the newly developed theory. Together with the elementary statistics, it provides statistics for curvature analysis of model function and of each parameter, for curvaure analysis of transformed parameters, for experimental design analysis, and for residual analysis. Easy access is obtained by utilizing a database of nonlinear models.

Purpose: To represent the shape of toric corea in the elliptical function for the determination of curvature distribution and lacrimal thickness between cornea and contact lens when the lens is fitted. Methods: Topography measurements of corneal curvature and curvature equation derived from the assumed elliptical function were evaluated using the Excel program which included the necessary equation derived. Results: Mathematical expressions for the cornea whose ribbon shaped-topography image, in which the center does not coincide with the corneal apex, can be determined. Conclusions: For the application where the higher accuracy on the cornea is not required, such as higher order aberration, the cornea cal be expressed in the simple elliptical function.

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of rotatory inertia and shear deformation on the natural frequencies of arches with variable curvature. The differential equations are derived for the in-plane free vibration of linearly elastic arches of uniform stiffness and constant mass per unit length. The governing equations are solved numerically for parabolic, circular and elliptic geometries with hinged-hinged, hinged-clamped and clamped-clamped end constraints. For each cases, the four lowest frequency parameters are presented as functions of the two dimensionless system parameters; the arch rise to span length ratio, and the slenderness ratio.

In this research, a lot of triaxial test results (CID) are analyzed to study the curvature characteristics of failure envelope of sand and parametric relationship between shear strength and state parameter by Been and Jefferies. In the conventional triaxial tests, correction for the change of sectional area of a sample and for membrane influence is essential especially in order to determine critical state (or steady state) condition more correctly. Based on the test results, a model to express the shear strength of fine sand as a function of density and stress level is presented and curvature characteristics of shear failure envelope and parametric relationship between state parameter and shear strength parameters are evaluated.

본 연구는 판에 존재하는 유공형상에 따른 응력 집중 해석이다. 일반으로 판은 가공이 쉽고 제작이 편리하여 그 사용이 많다. 이러한 판의 연결에는 원형의 유공을 이용하는 경우가 많고 구조물의 중량감소를 목적으로 유공을 만드는 경우도 있다. 그러나 판에 존재하는 유공의 경우 응력 집중으로 인한 균열생성과 같은 단점을 가진다. 이를 보완하기 위해 유공부의 최적설계 및 응력해석과 같은 많은 연구들이 수행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 원형, 정사각형과 정삼각형의 유공을 유한 요소 프로그램을 이용하여 시뮬레이션하고 유공형상에 따라 판에 발생하는 응답을 알아보았다. 또한 원형유공의 응답을 기준으로 정사각형과 정삼각형 유공의 모서리의 곡률반경을 변화시켰을 때 발생하는 응답을 비교하였다. 상용 유한 요소 프로그램인 ANSYS/Workbench를 사용하여 인장응력하의 유공판의 응답 해석을 수행하였으며 얻어진 결과를 유공의 형상, 곡률반경의 변화에 따라 분석하였다.
