The dynamic displacement is considered to be an important indicator of structural safety, and becomes an indispensable part of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system for high-speed railway bridges. This paper proposes an indirect strain based dynamic displacement reconstruction methodology for high-speed railway box girders. For the typical box girders under eccentric train load, the plane section assumption and elementary beam theory is no longer applicable due to the bend-torsion coupling effects. The monitored strain was decoupled into bend and torsion induced strain, pre-trained multi-output support vector regression (M-SVR) model was employed for such decoupling process considering the sensor layout cost and reconstruction accuracy. The decoupled strained based displacement could be reconstructed respectively using box girder plate element analysis and mode superposition principle. For the transformation modal matrix has a significant impact on the reconstructed displacement accuracy, the modal order would be optimized using particle swarm algorithm (PSO), aiming to minimize the ill conditioned degree of transformation modal matrix and the displacement reconstruction error. Numerical simulation and dynamic load testing results show that the reconstructed displacement was in good agreement with the simulated or measured results, which verifies the validity and accuracy of the algorithm proposed in this paper.

Due to rapid progress in the performance of high-end computers, numerical prediction of fluid flow and flow-induced sound is expected to become a vital tool for aero- and hydro- dynamic design of various flow-related products. This presentation focuses on the applications of large-scale numerical simulations to complex engineering problems with a particular emphasis placed on the low-speed flows. Flow field computations are based on a large eddy simulation that directly computes all active eddies in the flow and models only those eddies responsible for energy dissipations. The sound generated from low-speed turbulent flows are computed either by direct numerical simulation or by decoupled methods, according to whether or not the feedback effects of the generated sound onto the source flow field can be neglected. Several numerical examples are presented in order to elucidate the present status of such computational methods and discussion on the future prospects will also be given.

In this study, we deal with a multivariable system which its input and output are coupled. This study presents a method for designing a controller which allows a coupled system to be transformed to a decoupled system in a standard model adopting 2DOF controller. And Wiener-Hopf($H_2$) approach is used so that the designed controller can minimize given cost function.

A linear motor based transfer vehicle is significantly focused as transportation systems in marine terminals for the future. We propose a control method for the systems to hence mass reduction and propulsion effects at a starting point by using a lift-force mechanism. This method is newly based on a combined levitation-and-propulsion power by a lift and thrust force of a permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM), which is carried out by a decoupled control. We exam that our proposed control largely compensates the vehicle weight, reduces friction effect of the system, and increases its velocity. Consequently, this result contributes numerous productivity and economical efficiency for the port systems.

Having flexibility in a manipulator will degrade trajectory tracking control and manipulator tip positioning. In practice, however, constraints imposed by various operating requirements, will render the presence of such flexibility unavoidable. The dynamic analysis of the flexible manipulator is essential in designing proper control systems. A flexible manipulator consists of infinite number of elastic modes and the modes are usually coupled to each other. For the practicality, however, it is usually assumed that the flexible system consists of finite number of elastic modes and the modes are decoupled. These assumptions result in a linear and decoupled mathematical model of the flexible manipulator and simplify the analysis of the dynamic behavior and the design of the control system. The decoupling and linearization of the flexible link, however, has been assumed without in depth analysis. This paper focuses on the analysis of the significance of the non-linear coupling factors.

Axiomatic Design has been developed as a general design framework during past two decades and TRIZ has been developed for a design tool over 50 years. Axiomatic design is quite excellent in that the design should be decoupled. When a design matrix is established, the characteristics of the design are identified concerning the coupling properties. If the design is coupled, a decoupling process should be found. However, axiomatic design does not specifically indicate how to decouple. In this paper, a design method is developed to use TRIZ in the decoupling process. The decoupling ideas are extracted from the substance field analysis and various methods in TRIZ. The mettled is applied applied to the conceptual design of a beam splitter for the laser marker and the results are analyzed.

When we use various multimedia programs such as 3D-game, visual conference, dial-pad phone by internet service, we make use of headset generally. As internet system is magnified more and more, a demand of headset will be increasing continuously. Because microphone was fixed by headset, it has many inconveniences for using headset. For these reasons, new concept headset is needed nowadays. Main idea of development of headset is very the automatic operation system of microphone. There are many process variables in appling new technology to the conventional headset. They can be solved by using axiomatic approach method which is very useful design method for designing new products. Its main character is scientific and analytical. The goal of this research is to design and manufacture a new headset model with axiomatic design method. In this paper, a new concept headset was presented by mapping the relation between functional requirements and design parameters.

Artificial neural network (ANN) has been extensively used in areas of nonlinear system modeling, analysis and design applications. Basically, ANN has its distinct capabilities of implementing system identification and/or function approximation using a number of input/output patterns that can be obtained via numerical and/or experimental manners. The paper describes a role of ANN, especially a back-propagation neural network (BPN) in the context of engineering analysis, design and optimization. Fundamental mechanism of BPN is briefly summarized in terms of training procedure and function approximation. The BPN based causality analysis (CA) is further discussed to realize the problem decomposition in the context of multidisciplinary design optimization. Such CA is also applied to quantitatively evaluate the uncoupled or decoupled design matrix in the context of axiomatic design with the independence axiom.

Functional requirements and design parameters were not clarified in the early design process. Design axiom shows some difficulty for larger system designs, such as the butterfly valve, which is basically carried out by an incremental and iterative process. A numerical analysis was carried out on fluid flows in a butterfly valve, by using ANSYS-FLOTRAN. Characteristics of the butterfly flows at different valve disk opening angles, with a uniform incoming velocity, were investigated. The entire analysis is decomposed to satisfy the independence axiom. This paper resolves the problems associated with the establishment of a systematic design process.
