Noise from electronic instrumentation is invariably present in biomedical signals, although the art of instrumentation design is such that this noise source may be negligible. And sometimes signals of interest are contaminated or degraded by signals of similar type from another source. Biomedical signals are omni-presently contaminated by these background noises that span nearly all frequency bandwidths. In the magneto-cardiogram (MCG), several digital filters have been designed for the elimination of the power-line interference, broadband white noise, surrounding magnetic noise, and baseline wondering. In addition to the introduced FIR filter, notch, adaptive filter using the least mean square (LMS) algorithm, and recurrent neural network (RNN) filter, a new filtering method for effective noise canceling in MCG signals is proposed in this paper, which is realized by the wavelet packets. The experimental results show that the proposed filter using wavelet packet performs efficiently with respect to noise rejection. To verify this, two characteristics were analyzed and compared with LMS adaptive filter, SNR of filtered signal and attractor pattern using the nonlinear dynamics.

Distributed piezoelectric sensor and actuator have been designed for efficient vibration control of a cantilevered beam. Both PZT and PVDF are used in this study, the former as an actuator and the latter as a sensor for our integrated structure. For the PZT actuator, the position and size have been optimized. Optimal electrode shape of the PVDF sensor has been determined. For multi-mode vibration control, we have used two PZT actuators and a PVDF sensor. Electrode shading of PVDF is more powerful for modal force adjustment than the sizing and positioning of PZT. Finite element method is used to model the structure that includes the PZT actuator and the PVDF sensor. By deciding on or off of each PZT segment, the length and the location of the PZT actuator are optimize. Considering both of the host structure and the optimized actuators, it is designed that the active electrode width of PVDF sensor along the span of the beam. Actuator design is based on the criterion of minimizing the system energy in the control modes under a given initial condition. Sensor is designed to minimize the observation spill-over. Modal control forces for the residual(uncontrolled) modes have been minimized during the sensor design. Genetic algorithm, which is suitable for this kind of discrete problems, has been utilized for optimization. Discrete LQG control law has been applied to the integrated structure for real time vibration control. Performance of the sensor, the actuator, and the integrated smart structure has been demonstrated by experiments.

본 논문에서는 CSG 방식으로 나타내어진 3차원 입체를 신속하게 외형선 표시방식으로 그려줄 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 두 개의 CSG 트리가 하나로 결합될때, 각 종속 트리에 해당하는 입체를 구성하는 다각형들간의 교차 부분을 계산하여 주어진 결합 연산자에 따라 합성 입체의 경계선 표현을 얻어내고, 이를 트리의 루트노드에 저장한다. 루트 노드에 저장된 경계선 표현은 입체를 외형선 표시방식으로 그려주는 부분과 다음 경계선 표현 계산에서 사용된다. 자유 곡면을 모델링하기 위하여 Bezier 곡면을 기본 입체의 하나로 취급하였고, 설계된 입체에 대한 실제적인 영상을 얻기 위하여 scan-line 알고리듬을 사용하였는데, 이 방식에서는 각 scan-line을 다각형들이 교차하지 않는 구간들로 나누고, 입체의 CSG 표현을 이용하여 각 구간을 묘화한다.

The three-dimensional turbulent cascade flows with and without endwall fences are numerically investigated by solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with a high-Reynolds number $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence closure model. A projection method based algorithm is used in the finite-volume formulation, with the second order upwind-differencing scheme for the convective terms. First, assessments on accuracy of the present method are made by comparing the static pressure distributions at the mid-span of the cascade with measured data, and also by confirming the experimental observations on the choice of an optimal fence height for the secondary flow control. In understanding the three-dimensional nature of the secondary flow in turbine cascade, the limiting streamline patterns and the static pressure contours at the suction surface of the blade as well as on the cascade endwall are employed to visualize the effectiveness of the endwall fence for the secondary flow control. Analysis on the streamwise vorticity contour maps along the cascade with the three-dimensional representation of their iso-surfaces reveals the strucuture of the complicated vortical flow in the turbine cascade with endwall fence, and also leads to an understanding on formation of the counter-rotating streamwise vortex over the endwall fence, in explaining the mechanisms of controlling the secondary flow and also for the proper selection of an optimal fence height.

교량의 안전성과 사용성을 검토하기 위해서는 외적 하중에 대한 구조 부재의 거동 특성과 정확한 저항 능력 평가가 반드시 고려 되어야 한다. 구조 부재의 거동 특성과 저항능력을 평가하기 위해서는 구조물의 변형률과 변위가 반드시 측정 되어야 한다. 변형률 측정을 위해서 전기 저항식 변형률 게이지를 사용하는 것이 보통이다. 그러나 교량의 교각이 높고, 장지간을 갖는 경우 변형률 게이지 부착은 매우 어렵고 경제적이지 못하다. 또한 구조 부재에 균열이 많이 발생되어 있거나 습윤 상태라면 전기 저항식 변형률 게이지에 의한 변형률 계측은 추천할만한 방법이 못된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 단점을 보완 할수 있도록 측정 변위를 이용한 변형률 해석 알고리즘을 제안 하였다.

For the first time, an accurate analytical solution, based on coupled three-dimensional (3D) piezoelasticity equations, is presented for free vibration analysis of the angle-ply elastic and piezoelectric flat laminated panels under arbitrary boundary conditions. The present analytical solution is applicable to composite, sandwich and hybrid panels having arbitrary angle-ply lay-up, material properties, and boundary conditions. The modified Hamiltons principle approach has been applied to derive the weak form of governing equations where stresses, displacements, electric potential, and electric displacement field variables are considered as primary variables. Thereafter, multi-term multi-field extended Kantorovich approach (MMEKM) is employed to transform the governing equation into two sets of algebraic-ordinary differential equations (ODEs), one along in-plane (x) and other along the thickness (z) direction, respectively. These ODEs are solved in closed-form manner, which ensures the same order of accuracy for all the variables (stresses, displacements, and electric variables) by satisfying the boundary and continuity equations in exact manners. A robust algorithm is developed for extracting the natural frequencies and mode shapes. The numerical results are reported for various configurations such as elastic panels, sandwich panels and piezoelectric panels under different sets of boundary conditions. The effect of ply-angle and thickness to span ratio (s) on the dynamic behavior of the panels are also investigated. The presented 3D analytical solution will be helpful in the assessment of various 1D theories and numerical methods.

선체 형상을 표현하기 위하여 Bi-Cubic B-spline이 가장 널리 사용되고 있다. B-spline곡선 곡면 정의에 있어서 입력 데이터가 불규칙하거나, 주어진 데이터의 갯수가 많은 경우, 또는 형상이 복잡한 경우에 주어진 형상의 부드러운 곡선 곡면(Smooth curves or surfaces)을 재현할 수 있는 역행렬을 구하기 어렵다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위해 새로운 버텍스 산출법(ISE 방법: Image Surface Expansion Method)을 제시한다. 곡선정의를 이용하여 ISE방법을 검증하였고, 수렴성을 확인하였다. 또한 선체형상을 정의하였으며, Open Uniform B-spline으로 형성된 곡면과 비교하였고, ISE방법의 신뢰도를 검증하였다.

This article focuses on providing remedial solutions for COVID disease through the data collection process. Recently, In India, sudden human losses are happening due to the spread of infectious viruses. All people are not able to differentiate the number of affected people and their locations. Therefore, the proposed method integrates robotic technology for monitoring the health condition of different people. If any individual is affected by infectious disease, then data will be collected and within a short span of time, it will be reported to the control center. Once, the information is collected, then all individuals can access the same using an application platform. The application platform will be developed based on certain parametric values, where the location of each individual will be retained. For precise application development, the parametric values related to the identification process such as sub-interval points and intensity of detection should be established. Therefore, to check the effectiveness of the proposed robotic technology, an online monitoring system is employed where the output is realized using MATLAB. From simulated values, it is observed that the proposed method outperforms the existing method in terms of data quality with an observed percentage of 82.

In recent years, vision-based monitoring has received great attention. However, structural identification using vision-based displacement measurements is far less established. Especially, simultaneous identification of structural systems and unknown excitation using vision-based displacement measurements is still a challenging task since the unknown excitations do not appear directly in the observation equations. Moreover, measurement accuracy deteriorates over a wider field of view by vision-based monitoring, so, only a portion of the structure is measured instead of targeting a whole structure when using monocular vision. In this paper, the identification of structural system and excitations using vision-based displacement measurements is investigated. It is based on substructure identification approach to treat of problem of limited field of view of vision-based monitoring. For the identification of a target substructure, substructure interaction forces are treated as unknown inputs. A smoothing extended Kalman filter with unknown inputs without direct feedthrough is proposed for the simultaneous identification of substructure and unknown inputs using vision-based displacement measurements. The smoothing makes the identification robust to measurement noises. The proposed algorithm is first validated by the identification of a three-span continuous beam bridge under an impact load. Then, it is investigated by the more difficult identification of a frame and unknown wind excitation. Both examples validate the good performances of the proposed method.
