The purpose of this study is to examine the characteristics of stress corrosion cracking(SCC) and acoustic emission(AE) signals for the weld HAZ of HT-60 steel under corrosion control in synthetic seawater. Corrosive environment was controlled by potentiostat, and SCC experiment was conducted using a slow strain rate test method at strain rate of 10$^{-5}$ /sec. In order to verify the miroscopic fracture behaviour of the weldment during SCC phenomena, AE test was done simultaneously. Besides, correlationship between mechanical parameters and AE ones was investigated. In case of the parent, reduction of area(ROA) at -0.5V was samller than any other applied voltage such as -0.8V and -1.1V. In addition, reduction of area for the PWHT specimens at -0.8mV was larger than that of the weldment due to the softening effect according to PWHT. In case of the weldment, a lots of events was produced because of the singularities of the weld HAZ compared with the parent.

In this article, we consider a singular and a degenerate elliptic operators in a divergence form. The singularities exist on a part of boundary, and comparable to the logarithmic distance function or its inverse. If we assume that the operator can be treated in a pointwise sense than distribution sense, with this operator we obtain a priori Harnack continuity near the boundary. In the proof we transform the singular elliptic operator to uniformly bounded elliptic operator with unbounded first order terms. We study this type of estimations considering a De Giorgi conjecture. In his conjecture, he proposed a certain ellipticity condition to guarantee a continuity of a solution.

Projection spectral analysis is investigated and refined in this paper, in order to unify principal component analysis and independent component analysis. Singular value decomposition and spectral theorems are applied to nonsymmetric correlation or covariance matrices with multiplicities or singularities, where projections and nilpotents are obtained. Therefore, the suggested approach not only utilizes a sum-product of orthogonal projection operators and real distinct eigenvalues for squared singular values, but also reduces the dimension of correlation or covariance if there are multiple zero eigenvalues. Moreover, incremental learning strategies of projection spectral analysis are also suggested to improve the performance.

The precise form of singular functions, singular function representation and the extraction form for the stress intensity factor play an important role in the singular function methods to deal with the domain singularities for the Poisson problems with most common boundary conditions, e.q. Dirichlet or Mixed boundary condition [2, 4]. In this paper we give an elementary step to get the singular functions of the solution for Poisson problem with Neumann boundary condition or Robin boundary condition. We also give singular function representation and the extraction form for the stress intensity with a result showing the number of singular functions depending on the boundary conditions.

Through the momentum considerations, added resistance of a ship in regular waves are studied within the framework of the linear potential theory for a ship moving with a constant mean forward speed. In this paper, added resistance in head waves with comparably small wave length is focused by modifying the Marou's method. The strength of the singularities for the Kochin function is modified by considering the diffraction potentials. Slender body theory is used to determine the diffraction potentials as Adachi did. The response of a ship motion is found by using new strip method. For the purpose of comparison with the present method, calculation was also conducted by Marou's and Gerritsma-Beukelman's method. Numerical calculations are performed for five different models, that is, series 60(Cb=0.6, 0.7, 0.8), S7-175 container ship and blunt bow model. Numerical results obtained by the present method show relatively good corelations comparing with experimental results in the region under considerations.

In this paper, a novel method is presented for efficient calculation of the spatial-domain Green's functions of 2D electromagnetic problems. This method combines spectral and spatial domain calculation schemes and prevents the Green's functions from diverging at the singularities that complicate the process of the Method of Moment(MoM) application. For the validation of this proposed method, fields will be evaluated along the spatial distance including zero distance for 2D free-space and periodic homogeneous geometry. The numerical results show the validity of the prosed method and correspondng physics.

Novel design of interdigitated electrodes capable of increasing the performance of piezoelectric transducers are proposed. The new electrodes' geometry improve the electromechanical coupling by offering an enhanced adaptation of the electric field to the interdigitated electrode configuration. The proposed analysis is based on finite element modeling and takes into account local polarization effect. It is shown that the proposed electrodes considerably increase the strain generation compared to flat electrode arrangement used for Macro Fiber Composite (MFC) and Active Fiber Composite (AFC) actuators. Also, electric field singularities are reduced allowing better reliability of the transducer against electric failure.

This paper suggests a measure constraint locus for characterization of the performance of a subtask for a redundant robot. The measure constraint locus are the loci of points satisfying the necessary constraint for optimality of measure in the joint configuration space. To uniquely obtain an inverse kinematic solution, one must consider both measure constraint locus and self-motion manifolds which are set of homogeneous solutions. Using measure constraint locus for maniqulability measure, the invertible workspace without singularities and the topological property of the configuration space for linding equilibrium configurations are analyzed. We discuss some limitations based on the topological arguments of measure constraint locus, of the inverse kinematic algorithm for a cyclic task. And the inverse kinematic algorithm using global maxima on self-motion manifolds is proposed and its property is studied.

The purpose of this study is elastic plastic finite element analysis for standard fracture toughness specimens. The principles of elastic-plastic fracture mechanics are shortly summarized and the special requirements for computational tools are derived. Possibilities to model the crack tip singularities are mentioned. The relevant fracture parameters like J-Integral and COD and their correlation are evaluated from elastic plastic finite element calculations of standard fracture toughnes specimens. The size and form of the plastic zone are shown. The comparion between experiment and caculation is discussed as well as the application of the limit load analysis.

This paper classifies the structure of the intersection curve between a surface of extrusion and a free-form surface. Our algorithm computes the silhouette curve of the free-form surface with respect to the unique ruling direction of the surface of extrusion. By intersecting the silhouette curve and the base curve of the surface of extrusion, we can classify the topological structure of the intersection curve, and compute all singularities in the intersection curve. Moreover, we can determine which ruling lines of the surface of extrusion intersect the other free-form surface and how many times. This classification provides a robust and efficient method for computing the intersection curve.
