The current investigation is the first endeavor to apply the full layerwise finite element method (FEM) in free vibration analysis of functionally graded (FG) composite plates reinforced with graphene nanoplatelets (GPLs) in thermal environment. Unlike the equivalent single-layer (ESL) theories, the layerwise FEM focuses on all three-dimensional (3D) effects. The GPLs weight fraction is presumed invariable in each layer but varies through the plate thickness in a layerwise model. The modified Halpin-Tsai model is employed to acquire the effective Young's modulus. The rule of mixtures is applied to specify the effective Poisson's ratio and mass density. First, the current method is validated by comparing the numerical results with those stated in the available works. Next, a thorough numerical study is performed to examine the influence of various factors involving the pattern of distribution, weight fraction, geometry, and size of GPLs, together with the thickness-to-span ratio, thermal environment, and boundary conditions of the plate, on its free vibration behaviors. Numerical results demonstrate that employing a small percentage of GPL as reinforcement considerably grows the natural frequencies of the pure epoxy. Also, distributing more square-shaped GPLs, involving a smaller amount of graphene layers, and vicinity to the upper and lower surfaces make it the most efficient method to enhance the free vibration behaviors of the plate.

포인트 클라우드 데이터는 자율 주행 기술, 가상 현실 및 증강 현실에서 사용될 3차원 미디어 중 하나로 각광 받고 있다. 국제 표준화 기구인 MPEG(Moving Picture Expert Group)에서는 포인트 클라우드 데이터의 효율적인 압축을 위해 G-PCC(Geometry-based Point Cloud Compression) 및 V-PCC(Video-based Point Cloud Compression)의 표준화를 진행 중에 있다. 그 중, G-PCC는 본래 단일 프레임의 압축을 수행하는 정지 영상 압축 방식이지만, LiDAR(Light Detection And Ranging) 센서를 통해 획득된 동적 포인트 클라우드 프레임에 대한 압축의 필요성이 대두됨에 따라 G-PCC 그룹에서는 Inter-EM(Exploratory Model)을 신설하여 LiDAR 포인트 클라우드 프레임의 압축에 관한 연구를 시작하였다. Inter-EM의 압축 비트스트림은 G-PCC 비트스트림과 마찬가지로 효과적인 전송 및 소비를 위해 미디어 저장 포맷인 ISOBMFF(ISO-based Media File Format)으로 캡슐화될 수 있다. 이때, 포인트 클라우드 프레임들은 자율 주행 등의 서비스에 사용하기 위해 시간 도메인뿐만 아니라 공간 도메인을 기반으로도 소비될 수 있어야 하지만, 공간 도메인을 기반으로 콘텐츠를 임의 접근하여 소비하는 방식은 기존 2D 영상의 시간 도메인 기반 소비방식과 차이로 인해 기존에 논의된 G-PCC 캡슐화 방안만으로는 지원이 제한된다. 이에, 본 논문에서는 G-PCC 콘텐츠를 공간 도메인에 따라 소비하기 위한 ISOBMFF 캡슐화 방안에 대한 파일 포맷을 제안하고자 한다.

This study is concerned with the surface quality of products according to the material and coating condition of the forming tool in incremental sheet forming. Three forming tools, SKD11 with and without diamond-like-coating (DLC) and polymer tool tip, were used to form conical and pyramidal geometries to take into account the influence of friction between the forming tool and the sheet on the surface quality including geometric accuracy of deformed samples. Each test was performed using SUS304 with a thickness of 0.4 mm according to different incremental depths per lap of 0.5 mm, 1.0 mm, and 1.5 mm for the contour tool path, considering the increase in normal force which is associated with the frictional behavior during local deformation. The surface quality was then investigated through surface roughness measured with KEYENCE VR-6000 and relative strain distribution including deformed shape analyzed with ARGUS which is a non-contact optical strain measurement system. Differences between 3D CAD surfaces and captured geometry from experiments were evaluated to compare the effect of friction on geometric accuracy. From comparisons of experimental results, it was revealed that the polymer-based tool tip can improve surface quality and geometric accuracy by reducing the undesired material flow due to local friction in the increment sheet forming process.

In this paper, we propose a method for an arbitrary-view image generation in multi-view video and methods for pre- and post-processing to compensate unattended regions in the generated image. To generate an arbitrary-view image, camera geometry is used. Three dimensional coordinates of image pixels can be obtained by using depth information of multi-view video and parameter information of multi-view cameras, and by replacing three dimensional coordinates on a two dimensional image plane of other view, arbitrary-view image can be reconstructed. However, the generated arbitrary-view image contains many unattended regions. In this paper, we also proposed a method for compensating these regions considering temporal redundancy and spatial direction of an image and an error of acquired multi-view image and depth information. Test results show that we could obtain a reliably synthesized view-image with objective measurement of PSNR more than 30dB and subjective estimation of DSCQS(double stimulus continuous quality scale method) more than 3.5 point.

A study for the assessment of dose given by outdoor radon to respiratory system has been carried out by making use of radon-cups containing CR-39 plastic track detectors. Detection efficiencies were determined by irradiation of the radon-cups in a standard radon chamber of known concentration. Thus determined detection factors of CR-39 plastic track detector in bare, open cup and filtered cup geometry are found to be 0.273, 0.0813 and 0.0371 $trmm^{-2}$/(37$Bqm^{-3}{\cdot}d$), respectively, which are chemically etched in 30% NaOH solution of $70^{\circ}C$ for 220 minutes. The outdoor radon concentrations measured at Taejeon(Chungnam National University) from May 1988 to March 1989 are in the range of 27.4 - 135.8 Bq/$m^3$(0.74 - 3.67pCi/l)by open cup and 16.7 - 143.9 Bq/$m^3$(0.45 - 3.89 pCi/l) by filtered cup, which yield overall annual average value of outdoor radon concentration of $70.8Bq/m^3$(1.91 pCi/l). Corresponding effective dose equivalent rate to respiratory system of ICRP standard man is assessed to be 520 nSv /h.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the strain induced in the cortical bone surrounding an orthodontic microimplant during insertion in a self-drilling manner. Methods: A 3D finite element method was used to simulate the insertion of a microimplant (AbsoAnchor SH1312-7, Dentos Co., Daegu, Korea) into 1 mm thick cortical bone. The shape and dimension of thread groove in the center of the cortical bone produced by the cutting flute at the apical of the microimplant was obtained from animal test using rabbit tibias. A total of 3,600 analysis steps was used to calculate the 10 turns and 5 mm advancement of the microimplant. A series of remesh in the cortical bone was allowed to accommodate the change in the geometry accompanied by the implant insertion. Results: Bone strains of well higher than 4,000 microstrain, the reported upper limit for normal bone remodeling, were observed in the peri-implant bone along the whole length of the microimplant. Level of strains in the vicinity of either the screw tip or the valley part were similar. Conclusions: Bone strains from a microimplant insertion in a self-drilling manner might have a negative impact on the physiological remodeling of cortical bone.

A vanishing point is a point where parallel lines converge, and they become evident when a camera's lenses are used to project 3D space onto a 2D image plane. Vanishing point detection is the use of the information contained within an image to detect the vanishing point, and can be utilized to infer the relative distance between certain points in the image or for understanding the geometry of a 3D scene. Since parallel lines generally exist for the artificial structures within images, line-detection-based vanishing point-detection techniques aim to find the point where the parallel lines of artificial structures converge. To detect parallel lines in an image, we detect edge pixels through edge detection and then find the lines by using the Hough transform. However, the various textures and noise in an image can hamper the line-detection process so that not all of the lines converging toward the vanishing point are obvious. To overcome this difficulty, it is necessary to assign a different weight to each line according to the degree of possibility that the line passes through the vanishing point. While previous research studies assigned equal weight or adopted a simple weighting calculation, in this paper, we are proposing a new method of assigning weights to lines after noticing that the lines that pass through vanishing points typically belong to artificial structures. Experimental results show that our proposed method reduces the vanishing point-estimation error rate by 65% when compared to existing methods.

In this study, a numerical simulation of a vanadium redox flow battery was investigated for reactions involving an electrochemical species using comprehensive conservation laws and a kinetic model. For a 3-D geometry of the cell, the distributions of electric potential, vanadium concentration, overpotential, and ohmic loss were calculated. The cell temperature and initial vanadium ion concentration were set as variables. The voltage and electrochemical loss were calculated for each variable. The effects of each variable's impact on the electrochemical performance of a vanadium redox flow battery was numerically analyzed using the calculated overpotential in the electrode and the ohmic loss in the electrolyte phase. The cell temperature increased from $20^{\circ}C$ to $80^{\circ}C$ when the voltage efficiency decreased from 89.34% to 87.29%. The voltage efficiency increased from 88.65% to 89.25% when the vanadium concentration was changed from $1500mol/m^3$ to $3000mol/m^3$.

In the case of an unmanned aerial vehicle using a battery as a power source, there are restrictions in performing the mission because the battery capacity is limited. To extend the mission capability, it is important to minimize battery usage while the flight to the mission area. In addition, by using the battery usage prediction model, the possibility of mission completeness can be determined and it can be a criterion for selecting an emergent landing point in the mission planning stage. In this paper, we propose a battery usage prediction model considering as one of the environmental factors in the three-dimensional space. The required power is calculated according to the flight geometry of an unmanned aerial vehicle. True battery usage which is predicted from the required power is verified through the comparison with the battery usage prediction model. The optimal flight trajectory that minimizes battery usage is produced and compared with the shortest travel distance.

Drilled shafts are used increasingly as the foundations for many types of structures. However, very little knowledge of drilled shaft behavior under inclined load is available. In this study, a systematic experimental testing program was conducted to understand the undrained behavior of drilled shaft foundations under inclined loads. A semi-theoretical method of predicting the inclined capacity was developed through a parametric study of the variables such as shaft geometry and load inclination. Test parameters were chosen to be representative of those most frequently used in the electric utility industry. Short, rigid shafts with varying depth/diameter(D/B) ratios were addressed, and loading modes were investigated that includes exial uplift, inclined uplift, and inclined compression loads. Capacities were evaluated using the structural interaction formula and an equation developed from this experimental study. This new equation models the laboratory data well and is applicable for the limites field data.
