Monoleaflet polymer artificial heart valve was known to show remarkable improvement in antithrombosis and pressure drop compared with other type of artificial valve. In this investigation of monoleaflet heart valve the vertical and horizontal deflection pattern of polymer heart valve with three types of supporting members, straight member and two curved members were analysed using the large deformation nonlinear finite element method.

Paper presents an improved solution algorithm based on Finite Element Method to analyse piled raft foundation. Piles are modelled as beam elements with soil springs. Finite element analysis of raft is based on the classical theory of thick plates resting on Winkler foundation that accounts for the transverse shear deformation of the plate. Four node, isoparametric rectangular elements with three degrees of freedom per node are considered in the development of finite element formulation. Independent bilinear shape functions are assumed for displacement and rotational degrees of freedom. Effect of raft thickness, soil modulus and load pattern on the response is considered. Significant improvement in the settlements and moments in the raft is observed.

Nano-scratch tests were performed on PMMA thin films spin-coated on a Si substrate using an atomic force microscopy (AFM) with loads ranging from 10nN to 100nN. At low applied loads, a ridge pattern was formed on the PMMA surface. No wear particles were observed during the pattern-forming mild wear. At high applied loads, severe wear occurred accompanied by wear particles. The film with the highest hardness showed the highest wear resistance. Friction force generated during the Scratching was closely related with surface deformation of the film.

When etching rectangular convex corners of silicon using anisotropic etchants such as KOH, deformation of the edges always occurs due to undercutting. Therefore, it is necessary to correct the mass pattern for compensation. Experiments for the compensation method to prevent this phenomenon were carried out. In the result, the compensation pattern of a regular square is suitable for acceleration sensors considering space. With this consequence, silicon piezoresistive acceleration sensor with compensated square pillar type of mass has been fabricated using SDB wafer.

X-ray diffraction analysis technique was used for the fatigue damage analysis and fatigue life prediction in Al 7075-T651 alloy. The tensile test, fatigue strength and fatigue crack propagation test with change of stress ratio were carried out. As a result, half-value breadth was increased with the plastic deformation in the specimen increasint at all test conditions. In particular, half-value breadth at the surface of the specimens fractured by fatigue was increased as stress intensity factor range and effective stress intensity factor range were increased. In addition, the good relationship between half-value breadty and diffraction pattern was shown.

Automatic image recognition system is essential for a better man-to machine interaction. Because of the noise and deformation due to the sensor operation, it is not simple to build an image recognition system even for the fixed images. In this paper neural network which has been reported to be adequate for pattern recognition task is applied to the fixed and variational(rotation, size, position variation for the fixed image)recognition with a hope that the problems of conventional pattern recognition techniques are overcome. At fixed image recognition system. ART model is trained with face images obtained by camera. When recognizing an matching score. In the test when wigilance level 0.6 - 0.8 the system has achievel 100% correct face recognition rate. In the variational image recognition system, 65 invariant moment features sets are taken from thirteen persons. 39 data are taken to train multi-layer perceptron and other 26 data used for testing. The result shows 92.5% recognition rate.

The purpose of this study is to define the optimized layer pattern of composite wind turbine blade by using a commercial FEM program and to perform the fatigue test of T-Bolt. FEM analysis is done by using a PATRAN and ABAQUS to get a information about stress distribution ,critical deformation shape and get a critical load factor in local buckling analysis. As a result of the linear and nonlinear structural analysis, layer pattern of blade was optimized. T-Bolt is a connecting part of wind turbine blade and rotor hub, therefore T-bolt is cirtical part of wind turbine blade. T-bolt fatigue test is conducted to get a information of life cycle of T-bolt. The test is done by using a hydraulic actuator system

This is concerned with the radiation pattern of elastic waves in a plate generated by an orientation-adjustable patch-type magnetostrictive transducer. In general, not only the Lamb waves but also shear horizontal (SH) waves are produced by the deformation of the circular magnetostrictive patch bonded to a plate. Among the two types of waves, this paper investigates the radiation patterns of SH waves. A number of experimental results are presented. They are also accurately predicted by a theory developed by the present authors. Experimental findings were explained by a theoretical analysis.

Nano-scratch tests were performed on PMMA thin films spin-coated on a Si substrate using an atomic force microscopy (AFM) with loads ranging form 10nN to 100nN. At low loads, a ridge pattern was formed on the PMMA thin film surface. No wear particles were observed during the pattern-forming mild wear. At high loads, severe wear by plowing occurred, accompanied by wear particles. The film with the highest hardness showed the highest wear resistance. Friction force generated during the scratching was measured, which was closely related with surface deformation of the film. A simple empirical equation to deduce scratch hardness of the film from a linear fixed-distance scratch test was proposed, and scratching-speed dependency of the scratch hardness was displayed.

This study discusses a non-contact optical technique, electronic speckle pattern interferometry(ESPI), that is well suited for in-plane and out-of-plane deformation measurement. AS4/PEEK[30/-30/90]s, composite laminate plate was analyzed by ESPI to determine the vibration characteristics with tensile loading and without it. vibration mode shapes are quantitatively compared with the result of numerical analysis. The experimental results agree well with those of numerical analysis. we found that when the composite laminate plate is under the tensile loading, vibration modes can be measured with high accuracy by ESPI.
