The objective of the present work is to estimate the strength and failure characteristics of symmetric thin square laminates under negative shear load. Two progressive failure analyses, one using the Hashin criterion and the other using a Tensor polynomial criterion, are used in conjunction with the finite element method. First-order shear-deformation theory along with geometric nonlinearity in the von Karman sense has been incorporated in the finite element modeling. Failure loads, associated maximum transverse displacements, locations and modes of failure including the onset of delamination are discussed in detail; these are found to be quite different from those for the positive sheer load reported in Part I of this study (Singh et al. 1998).

A rational and straightforward method is introduced for developing continuum models of large platelike periodic lattice structures based on energy equivalence, The procedure for developing continuum models involves using existing finite element matrices in calculating strain and kinetic energies of a repeating cell. The equivalent continuum plate properties are obtained from the direct comparison of the reduced stiffness and mass matrices for continuum and lattice plates. Numerical results prove that the method developed in this paper shows very good agreement with other well-recognized methods.

The aim of this work is to design a real-time reusable image enhancement architecture for video signals, based on a spatial processing of the video sequence. The VHDL hardware description language has been used in order to make possible a top-down design methodology. By adding proposed algorithms to the LPR(License Plate Recognition) system, the system is implemented with reliability and safety on a rainy day. Spartan-2E XC2s300E is used as implementation platforms for real-time system.

This work studies qualitative thermal characteristics of PCM cold storage medium container and its surrounding streams. Experimental parameters are initial PCM temperature and cold water flow rate. A mathematical modeling was establised to estimate temperature distribution and the cooling process. We found that the phase-change temperatures of PCM varies from 6 to $8^{\circ}C$ which is constant for other materials and that the dominant heat transfer resistance is that on the container side taking about 3/4 of the total resistance. The one dimensional mathematical model predicts experimental data quit well.

In this paper, a novel and effective damage diagnosis algorithm is proposed to detect and estimate damage using two stages least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) and limited number of attached sensors on structures. In the first stage, LS-SVM1 is used to predict the unmeasured mode shapes data based on limited measured modal data and in the second stage, LS-SVM2 is used to predicting the damage location and severity using the complete modal data from the first-stage LS-SVM1. The presented methods are applied to a three story irregular frame and cantilever plate. To investigate the noise effects and modeling errors, two uncertainty levels have been considered. Moreover, the performance of the proposed methods has been verified through using experimental modal data of a mass-stiffness system. The obtained damage identification results show the suitable performance of the proposed damage identification method for structures in spite of different uncertainty levels.

A bonding process between tape-carrier package and a glass panel with anisotropic conductive film (ACF) has been investigated by making use of high power diode laser as a heat source for cure. The results from modeling of process and from optical properties of layers showed that heat absorbed from polyimide film surface and ACF layer is dominant source of curing during laser illumination. Laser ACF bonding has better bonding quality than conventional bonding in view of peel strength, flatness, pressure unbalance and processing time. New ACF bonding processes by making use of high power diode laser are proposed.

As an LNG carrier preserves and transports liquefied natural gas under minus $163^{\circ}C$, the cargo tank has to have sufficient hull strength against not only the wave loads but also against loads caused by loading and unloading and thermal expansion to keep the LNG safely. The main insulation types for a CCS are No.96 and Mark III from GTT for the membrane LNG carrier. Particularly, the invar membrane plate in No.96 is very thin and its connections could experience high local stresses owing to such dynamic loads. Therefore, it should be verified whether those connections have sufficient fatigue lives for the purpose of operation and maintenance. This research aims at performing fatigue analysis with 0.1 fatigue damage criteria for 40 years of design life to support new membrane CCS development using proper S-N curves and the associated finite element modeling technique for each connection and then propose a reasonable design methodology.

As the strip caster system that produces a regular steel plate can be considered as a complicate nonlinear multi-variable system, it is not easy to obtain an effective control system. One way to overcome the difficulties is to apply the intelligent neuro-fuzzy fusion approach in developing the control scheme. The neuro-fuzzy control scheme possesses several distinct advantages, including the fact that it doesn't need the exact mathematical modeling of controlled plant and can provided some robustness in the control scheme. In this paper, an intelligent neuro-fuzzy for the stripe caster system will be proposed. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme will be demonstrated by computer simulation.

In this paper, the modeling and analysis of dynamic characteristics has been carried out for friction clutches and brakes in an automatic transmission. From the operating oil pressure generated by the valve-body, time delay by check valve and the movement of piston has been examined. Also torque capacity and torque transferred at the clutch is studied. Heat capacity and temperature distribution at the reaction plate of clutch are codeled by time-dependent, nonhomogeneous partial differential equation, and brake torque, brake time, and the amount of heat generated are investigated. It is found that the time delay at the check valve is very short but dominant at the spool.

This paper describes an internal flow characteristics of a fuel pressurized blower, used for 1kW domestic fuel cell system. To analyze the flow field inside the diaphragm cavity, compressible unsteady numerical simulation is introduced. SST model with scalable wall function is employed to estimate the eddy viscosity. Moving mesh system is applied to the numerical analysis for describing the volume change of a diaphragm cavity in time. Throughout numerical simulation with the modeling of the inlet and outlet valves in a diaphragm cavity, unsteady nature of an internal flow is successfully analyzed. Force variations on the lower plate of a diaphragm cavity are evaluated in time. It is found that the driving force at the suction stage of a diaphragm cavity is more necessary than that at the discharging stage.
