This study focused on the ultimate behaviors(ultimate strength and fracture mode ) of single shear bolted connection with austenitic sainless steel(STS201) and curling effect on the ultimate strength using finite element analysis based on test results. Main variables are end distance in the parallel direction to loading and edge distance in the perpendicular direction to loading. The validation of finite element analysis procedures was verified through the comparisons of ultimate strength, fracture mode and curling(out-of-plane deformation) occurrence between test results and numerical predictions. Curling was observed in both test and analysis results and it reduced the ultimate strength of single- shear bolted connections with relatively long end distances. Strength reduction ratios caused by curling were estimated quantitatively by maximum 19%, 32%, respectively for specimens with edge distance, 48 mm and 60 mm compared with strengths of uncurled connections with restrained out-of-plane deformation. Finally, analysis strengths were compared with current design strengths and it is found that design block shear equations did not provide the accurate predictions for bolted connections with strength reduction by curling.

A linear feature often provide sufficient information for image understanding and coding. An objective of the research reported in this paper is to develop and analyze the reliable methods of extracting lines in gray scale images. The Hough Transform is known as one of the optimal paradigms to detect or identify the linear features by transforming edges in images into peaks in parameter space. The scheme proposed here uses the fuzzy gradient direction model and weights the gradient magnitudes for deciding the voting values to be accumulated in parameter space. This leads to significant computational savings by restricting the transform to within some support region of the observed gradient direction which can be considered as a fuzzy variable and produces robust results.

This paper introduces a spatial error concealment technique using directional interpolation in block-based compression. The first step involves finding the spatial direction vectors represented an edge-direction in the lost block using spatial boundary matching algorithm. Then, the error blocks are recovered by directional interpolation through these vectors and concealed by using the recovered blocks which have lower directional boundary matching error out of them relatively. This proposed method is able to deal with errors on macroblock or slice level adaptively. And it has lower complexity and maintains better performance compared to the conventional methods.

As analog broadcast has replaced digital broadcast and HDTV broadcast has settled as a standard of broadcast system in Korea, most of broadcast in Korea send interlaced signal. For TV uses interlaced scan order, deinterlacing which converts interlaced signal into progressive signal has remain important. In this paper, efficient deinterlacing method considering continuity of edge direction is proposed. Deinterlacing along with the dege of an object is one of the main issue for better visual quality. Thus, an algorithm introduced in this paper consider not only the edge of object but continuity so that a better result is drawn forth. The result shows that the proposed algorithm excels comparing with conventional algorithms.

Swept volume is the sweeping region of moving objects. It is used in various applications such as interference detection in assembly design, visualization of manipulator motions in robotics, simulation of the volume removal by a cutter in NC machining. The shape of swept volume is defined by the envelope, which is determined by the boundary of moving objects and its direction of motion. In order to implement the generation of swept volume, researchers have taken much effort to develop the techniques how to generate the envelope. However, their results are confined to envelope generated only in simple shape objects, such as polyhedra or quadric surfaces. This study provided the envelope generation algorithm of NURBS objects. Characteristic points were obtained by applying the geometric conditions of envelope to NURBS equations, and then characteristic curves were created by means of interpolating those points. Silhouette edges were determined in the following procedures. First, two adjacent surfaces which have the same edge were found from B-Rep data. Then, by taking the scalar product of velocity vector of a point on that edge with each normal vector on two surfaces, silhouette edges were discriminated. Finally, envelope was generated along moving direction in the form of ruled surfaces by using both the partial information between initial and final position of objects affecting envelope along with characteristic curves and silhouette edge. Since this developed algorithm can be applied not only to NURBS objects but also to their Boolean objects, it can be used effectively in various applications.

The 3-dimensional flow field has been investigated by numerical analysis in a 2.5MW wind turbine blade. Complicated and separated flaw phenomena in the wind turbine blade were captured by the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS) steady flaw simulation using general-purpose code, CFX and the mechanism of vortex structure behavior is elucidated. The vortical flow field in a wind turbine rotor is dominated by the tip vortex and hub separation vortex. The tip vortex starts to be formed near the blade tip leading edge. As the tip vortex develops in the tangential direction, interacting with boundary layer from the blade tip trailing edge. The hub separation vortex is generated near the blade hub leading edge and develops nearly in the span-wise direction. Furthermore, 3-dimensional blade tip shape has been designed for increasing shrift power and reducing thrust force on the wind turbine blade. It is expected that the behavior of the tip vortex and hub separation vortex plays a major role in aerodynamic and aeroacoustic characteristics.

In this paper, hierarchical retrieval system based on efficient feature extraction is proposed. In order to retrieval the image with robustness for geometrical transformation such as translation, scaling, and rotation. After performing the 2-level wavelet transform on image, We extract moment in low-level subband which was subdivided into subimages and texture feature, contrast of GLCM(Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix). At first we retrieve the candidate images in database by the ones of image. To perform a more accurate image retrieval, the edge information on the high-level subband was subdivided horizontally, vertically and diagonally. And then, the energy rate of edge per direction was determined and used to compare the energy rate of edge between images for higher accuracy.

In wireless communication systems, transmission errors degrade the reconstructed image quality severely. Among various techniques which reduce the degradation, the error concealment technique yields good performance without overheads and the modification of the encoder. In this paper, we have proposed the technique for recovering the corrupted motion vector using the edge direction of blocks which surround the corrupted block, when the video information is compressed by H.263 standard. We uses the property that each object in video sequences shows the same motion. For the estimation of edge directions, the first AC coefficients of blocks are used. Extensive simulation results show that the proposed technique yields good performance with a reduced computational complexity.

To restore image degraded by out-of-focus blur and additivie noise a regularized iterative restoration is used. In concentional method, regularization is usually applied to all over the image without considering the local characteristics of image. As a result, ringing artifacts appear in edge regions and the noise amplification is introduced in flat regions. To solve this problem we propose an adaptive regularization iterative restoration using directional regularization operator considering edges in four directions and the regularization operator with on direction for flat regions. We verified that the proposed method show better results in the suppression of the noise amplification in flat regions, and introduced less ringing artifacts in edge regions. As a result it showed visually better image and improved better ISNR further than the conventional methods.
