This paper is concerned with the vibration analysis of a simply-supported rectangular plate with a circular cutout. Even though there have be en many methods developed for the free vibration of the rectangular plate with a rectangular cutout., very few research has been carried out for the rectangular plate with a circular cutout. In this paper, a new methodology called independent coordinate coupling method, which was developed to save the computational effort for the free vibration analysis of rectangular plate with a rectangular cutout, is applied to the case of circular cutout. The independent coordinate coupling method employs the global coordinate system for the plate and the local coordinate system for the cutout. In the case of the rectangular plate with a circular cutout, the global coordinate system is the Cartesian co ordinate system and the local coordinate system is the polar coordinate system. By imposing the compatibility condition, the relationship between the global coordinates and the local coordinates is derived. This equation is then used for the calculation of the mass and stiffness matrices resulting in eigenvalue problem. The numerical results show the efficacy of the proposed method.

In this paper, a control system of the PUMA 560 robot manipulator using a PC (Personal Computer) is presented. The hardware of the designed control system is composed of IBM-PC/AT, interface board, selection board, interrupt generating circuit, and the servo control unit of the PUMA controller. A robot control library is developed using assembly and C language, and is composed of several low-level functions and arm interface routines, world model routines, arm kinematics routines, and motion command service routines. Using the designed library, joint interpolated motion and Cartesian interpolated motion of the PUMA robot manipulator are realized. In the future, our system is expected to be a very helpful basis and a useful tool for developing various control algorithms of robot manipulator using sensory information.

Conformal methods such as staircase approximation and effective medium theory have been used to model arbitrary dielectric surfaces in Cartesian FDTD(finite-difference time-domain) grids. However, the staircase approximation doesn't guarantee accurate results and the effective medium theory cannot be applied for frequency dispersive medium. In this paper, a simple conformal method is introduced for analyzing arbitrary dielectric surfaces. These arbitrarily shaped dielectric surfaces make nonuniformly filled FDTD cells. E(H)-field in a nonuniformly filled FDTD cell is calculated by considering the cell as the combination of two kinds of uniformly filled cells whose material boundaries are normal and parallel to the E(H)-field in the cell. TM scattering from a rotated 2-D dielectric and a ferrite square cylinder is analyzed to show the accuracy of the proposed method.

The dependence of strength, crack growth, fracture mode and degree of domain rearrangement of PZT ceramics on poling strength were studied. The PZT [(Pb0.94Sr0.06)(Zr0.46Ti0.54)O3+Nb(trace)] specimens were poled at 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 kv/mm, and the strength of the specimens was measured by 3 point flexure system. The bending strength of the specimen decreased in different modes according to the bending directions; xz, zx and yz plane direction with x axis of the poling direction in Cartesian coordinate system. The strength differences between the directions increased as the poling strength increased. The fracture mode transferred to intergranular fracture mode from transgranular one as the poling strength increased. The mechanical breakdown occurred when the poling strength higher than 3 kV/mm was applied to the specimen. It was observed that the crack length increased in the normal direction to the poling direction, however, decreased in the parallel direction to the poling direction when the poled PZT specimen was indented by the Vickers indenter. However, the crack produced by indentation continuously was continuously increased little by little after indentation on the specimen. The domain rearrangement occurred as the poling strength increased and the domains were rearranged more effectively when the electric field was continuously increased little by little.

With Cartesian dichotomy, a person's behavior and illness distinguished sharply between "biologically based" phenomena and "psychologically based" phenomena in western country. But a more balanced view that considers both concepts swept into psychiatry in the 1960s and 1970s. And ironically, the revolution of neurosicience and genetics have now reached a level of sophistication that allow it to serve as a bridge between biology and psychosocial environment. So, even subtle changes in the environment can produce biological changes in the brain. We review the history of definitions and relationship of mind and body. And we provide a selective survey of the recent 3 conceptual models of mind-body relationships in general-biopsychosocial model, mental-physical identity theory, organic unity theory-, the relationships of genetic and environment, and stress-diathesis model.

A multi-dimensional component for the thermal-hydraulic system analysis code, MARS, was developed for a more realistic three-dimensional analysis of nuclear systems. A three-dimensional and two-fluid model for a two-phase flow in Cartesian and cylindrical coordinates was employed. The governing equations and physical constitutive relationships were extended from those of a one-dimensional version. The numerical solution method adopted a semi-implicit and finite-difference method based on a staggered-grid mesh and a donor-cell scheme. The relevant length scale was very coarse compared to commercial computational fluid dynamics tools. Thus a simple Prandtl's mixing length turbulence model was applied to interpret the turbulent induced momentum and energy diffusivity. Non drag interfacial forces were not considered as in the general nuclear system codes. Several conceptual cases with analytic solutions were chosen and analyzed to assess the fundamental terms. RPI air-water and UPTF 7 tests were simulated and compared to the experimental data. The simulation results for the RPI air-water two-phase flow experiment showed good agreement with the measured void fraction. The simulation results for the UPTF downcomer test 7 were compared to the experiment data and the results from other multi-dimensional system codes for the ECC delivery flow.

H. Kim, B.K. Lee and C.K. Rheem have been experimentally studied to clarified the mechanism of thrust force generated by sculling motion for the propulsion of Korean small boats. The experimental investigations have been conducted under the bollard condition by installing a scull at the end of a trimming tank of towing tank. The sculling motion produced by the skilful fisherman and the resultant venerated forces have been measured in respect to the Cartesian coordinate fitted to the pivot point of the scull. ("An Experimental Study on the Propulsive Characteristics of Sculls". J. of the Soc. of Naval Arch. of Korea, Vol. 26, No. 3, 1989, pp.13-24) Through these experiments the trajectory of the blade tip and the angular displacement of the blade section have been measured as shown in Fig. 1 and 2 of this paper. And at the same time the resultant hydrodynamic force components are expressed in Fig. 3 and 4. These three dimensional data of sculling motion and generated real time force components are the unique experimental information which could clarify the thrust force generating mechanism of sculling motion. The experimental results have been reanalyzed by focusing the relation between instantaneous attack angle of blade section and the resultants real time force components. Through these investigation it is found out that the conventional imagination that the 7cull motion should be effective in generating lift force must be reconsidered because the attack angle of scull blade are too great to free from stall phenomena during the sculling operation.

When developing railway vehicle system, investigation of the dynamical stability is essential as a virtual prototyping process. Not only the verification using the commercial analysis tools, systematic analysis using customized tools is also necessary, because these can give other points of view in stability, which is sometimes unable to evaluate in the former one. As a solver platform for customization, it is important to derive basic theory about flexible bodies and build flexible structure, which enables easy module insertion of user-created functions. In the paper, a flexible dynamic analysis system is developed, using absolute cartesian coordinate, modal coordinate and absolute nodal coordinate. Each coordinate system is verified by respective examples for every system. This solver system will play an important role for building the basic platform for analysis system, keeping pace with the concurrent development of the modules, such as wheel-contact force, constraints and user-defined force modules. Using the information from the analysis, the evaluation of the dynamic behavior of the train and its stability analysis will be available.

This paper considers the concept of analog computing based on a cellular neural network (CNN) paradigm to simulate nuclear reactor dynamics using a time-dependent second order form of the neutron transport equation. Instead of solving nuclear reactor dynamic equations numerically, which is time-consuming and suffers from such weaknesses as vulnerability to transient phenomena, accumulation of round-off errors and floating-point overflows, use is made of a new method based on a cellular neural network. The state-of-the-art shows the CNN as being an alternative solution to the conventional numerical computation method. Indeed CNN is an analog computing paradigm that performs ultra-fast calculations and provides accurate results. In this study use is made of the CNN model to simulate the space-time response of scalar flux distribution in steady state and transient conditions. The CNN model also is used to simulate step perturbation in the core. The accuracy and capability of the CNN model are examined in 2D Cartesian geometry for two fixed source problems, a mini-BWR assembly, and a TWIGL Seed/Blanket problem. We also use the CNN model concurrently for a typical small PWR assembly to simulate the effect of temperature feedback, poisons, and control rods on the scalar flux distribution.

A novel and efficient cutter path planning method for machining intricately shaped curved surfaces, called the steepest directed tree method, is presented. The curved surface is defined by triangular facets, the density and structure of which are determined by the intricacy and form accuracy of the surface. Geometrical form definition and recognition of the topological features are used to connect the nodes of the triangulated surface meshes for the successive and interconnected steepest pathways, which makes good use of end milling characteristics. The planetary cutter centers are determined to locate along smoothly changing paths and then the height values of the cutter are adjusted to avoid surface interference. Several machined examples of intersecting and intricate surfaces are presented to illustrate the benefits of the new approach. It is shown that due to more consistent geometry matching between cutter and surface(in comparison with the current CC Cartesian method) surface finish can be typically improved. Moreover, the material in concave fillets which is difficult to be removed by ball mills can be removed efficiently. The built-in positioning of cutter to avoid interference runs minutely in the sharp and discontinuous regions. The steepest upward movement of the cutter gives a stable dynamic cutting state and allows increase in the feedrate and spindle speed while remaining the stable cutting state.
