For statistical modeling, the model parameters are usually estimated by maximizing a probability measure, such as the likelihood or the posterior. In contrast, a variational Bayesian method treats the parameters of a model as probability distributions and computes optimal distributions for them rather than values. It has been shown that this approach effectively avoids the overfitting problem, which is common with other parameter optimization methods. This paper applies a variational Bayesian technique to surface fitting for height field data. Then, we propose point cloud denoising based on the basic surface fitting technique. Validation experiments and further tests with scan data verify the robustness of the proposed method.

The applicability of optimization techniques for hull surface fitting has been important in the ship design process. In this research, the Genetic Algorithm has been used as a searching technique for solving surface fitting problem and minimizing errors between B-spline surface and the ship's offset data. The encoded design variables are the location of the vertex points and parametric values. The sufficient accuracy in surface fitting implies not only various techniques for computer-aided design, but also the future production design.

본 연구에서는 두 치차사이의 접촉 문제를 해석하기 위하여 마찰을 고려한 수직 하중과 접선 하중이 동시에 작용하는 경우에서의 접촉 문제를 수식화하였다. 그리고 두개의 원통의 접촉으로 가정함이 없이 실제적인 인벌루우트 곡면간의 접촉 문제를 해석하기 위하여 유한 요소법을 사용하였으며 비선형 연립 방정식으로 수식화된 된 접촉 문제를 효과적으로 풀기 위하여 최적화 기법을 이용한 산법을 제시하였다. 이때 마찰을 고려한 치차의 접촉 문제 해석에 필요한 수직 압력 분포는 이 등에 의하여 이루어진 결과를 이용하였다. 제시한 산법에 의하여 마찰을 고려한 두 치차의 접촉 문제를 해석하여 치차 손상의 중요한 원인중의 하나인 피팅(pitting) 현상을 유발하는 실제적인 조건을 고려함으로써 자동화 및 정밀화 되어가는 기계의 중요한 부품으로서 치차의 정밀 설계를 하기 위한 정확한 자료를 제시하였다.

Commercially pure titanium (CP Ti) has been actively used in plate heat exchangers due to its light weight, high specific strength, and excellent corrosion resistance. However, compared with automotive steels and aluminum alloys, there has not been much research on the plastic deformation characteristics and press formability of CP Ti sheet. In this study, the mechanical properties of CP Ti sheet are clarified in relation to press formability, including anisotropic properties and the stress-strain relation. The flow curve of the true stress-true strain relation is fitted well by the Kim-Tuan hardening equation rather than the Voce and Swift models. The forming limit curve (FLC) of CP Ti sheet was experimentally evaluated as a criterion for press formability by punch stretching tests. Analytical predictions were also made via Hora's modified maximum force criterion. The predicted FLC with the Kim-Tuan hardening model and an appropriate yield function shows good correlation with the experimental results of the punch stretching test.

Creation of a human skeleton model and characterization of the variation in the bone shape are fundamentally important in many applications of biomechanics. In this paper, we present a parametric shape modeling method for femurs that is based on extracting the main parameter of variations of the femur shape from a 3D model database by using statistical shape analysis. For this shape analysis, principal component analysis (PCA) is used. Application of the PCA to 3D data requires bringing all the models in correspondence to each other. For this reason, anatomical landmarks are used for guiding the deformation of the template model to fit the 3D model data. After subsequent application of PCA to a set of femur models, we calculate the correlation between the dominant components of shape variability for a target population and the anatomical parameters of the femur shape. Finally, we provide tools for visualizing and creating the femur shape using the main parameter of femur shape variation.
