This paper addresses details of wave load nonlinearity effect on stress RAO and damage ratio using component stochastic fatigue analysis. Traditional spectral fatigue analysis for ship structure is based on linear theory; however, there are a number of nonlinearity sources. Especially loading nonlinearity, such as hydrodynamic pressure applying to ship side and gravity changes due to roll and pitch motion, is thought to critically violate the linearity assumption of spectral fatigue analysis, which involves stress RAO as linear parameter. The main focus is placed on how to idealize complicated characteristics of loading nonlinearity and how to implement the nonlinear bias to linear spectral fatigue analysis.

Burg's algorithm for maximum entropy spectral analysis is studied with respect to its computational efficiency and stableness. The Burg's method is not only less efficient than the Yule-Walker's method but also sometimes unstable due to its mathematical irrationality. This irrationality is demonstrated by analyzing an artificial time series, and more stable and effective method is proposed. An efficient procedure using Goertzel's algorithm to compute power spectral densities is also proposed.

A computer program which can differentiate compounds whose absorbance spectra are very similar was developed. The program. [SPECMAN PLUS], written in Pascal provides automated spectral comparison techniques, utilizing the values of Root Mean of Squares (RMS) of differences. This comparison routine of the program can deal with spectra of compounds different concentrations and different spectral recording resolutions. In addition, the program was designed applicable to any spectral data of digital form. The program was applied to the UV spectra of 13 pencillins and 5 cephalosporins, whose absorbance spectra are so similar. As a result, all compounds examined could be differentiated from each other.

Motivation of this study is based on these two aspects: geologic uses of ASTER and application scheme of Spectral Mixture Analysis. This study aims at geologic mapping for mineral exploration using ASTER and LANDSAT 7 ETM+ at Mongolian plateau region by SMA. After basic pre-processing such as the normalization, geometric corrections and calibration of reflectance, related to endmembers selection and spectral signature deviation, both methods using spectral library and using PPI(Pixel Purity Index) are performed and compared on a given task. Based on these schemes, SMA is performed using LANDSAT 7 ETM+ and ASTER image. As the results, fraction map showing geologic rock types are enough to meet purposes such as geologic mapping and mineral potential mapping in the case of both uses of these different types of remotely sensed images. It concluded that this approach based on SMA with LANDSAT and ASTER is regarded as one of effective schemes for geologic remote sensing.

In order to understand changes of water temperature for thermal discharge of Hadong power plant in Gwangyang and Jinju Bay, it was analyzed for temperature data of representative season by MEM(Maximum entropy method) that is one of the spectral analysises. And due to understand effect of thermal discharge at each point, analyzed spectral data showed reactive energy rate of reference point by calculating energy from 24 time period to height frequency zone. As a result of spectral analysis, it showed that there were 9 points which are largely effected, 7 points which will be estimated, 6 points which is difficult to estimate, 14 points which rarely effected by thermal discharge.

In this paper, a spectral element model is developed for the uniform straight pipelines conveying internal unsteady fluid flow. The spectral element matrix is formulated by using the exact frequency-domain solutions of the pipe-dynamics equations. The spectral element dynamic analysis is then conducted to evaluate the accuracy of the present spectral element model and to investigate the vibration characteristics and internal fluid characteristics of an example pipeline system.

The studies to estimate the surface spectral reflectance of an object have received widespread attention using the multi-spectral camera system. However, the multi-spectral camera system requires the additional color filter according to increment of the channel and system complexity is increased by multiple capture. Thus, this paper proposes an algorithm to reduce the estimation error of surface spectral reflectance with the conventional 3-band RGB camera. In the proposed method, adaptive principal components for each pixel are calculated by renewing the population of surface reflectances and the adaptive principal components can reduce estimation error of surface spectral reflectance of current pixel. To evacuate performance of the proposed estimation method, 3-band principal component analysis, 5-band wiener estimation method, and the proposed method are compared in the estimation experiment with the Macbeth ColorChecker. As a result, the proposed method showed a lower mean square ems between the estimated and the measured spectra compared to the conventional 3-band principal component analysis method and represented a similar or advanced estimation performance compared to the 5-band wiener method.

Purpose: The research presented in this paper applied the chemometric analysis to the near-infrared spectral data from line-scanned hyperspectral images of beef and fish meals in animal feeds. The chemometric statistical models were developed to distinguish beef meals from fish ones. Methods: The meal samples of 40 fish meals and 15 beef meals were line-scanned to obtain hyperspectral images. The spectral data were retrieved from each of 3600 pixels in the Region of Interest (ROI) of every sample image. The wavebands spanning 969 nm to 1551 nm (across 176 spectral bands) were selected for chemometric analysis. The partial least squares regression (PLSR) and the principal component analysis (PCA) methods of the chemometric analysis were applied to the model development. The purpose of the models was to correctly classify as many beef pixels as possible while misclassified fish pixels in an acceptable amount. Results: The results showed that the success classification rates were 97.9% for beef samples and 99.4% for fish samples by the PLSR model, and 85.1% for beef samples and 88.2% for fish samples by the PCA model. Conclusion: The chemometric analysis-based PLSR and PCA models for the hyperspectral image analysis could differentiate beef meals from fish ones in animal feeds.

In this study, a spectral fatigue analysis was performed for the topside structure of an offshore floating vessel. The topside structure was idealized using beam elements in the SACS program. The fatigue analysis was carried out considering the wave and wind loads separately. For the wave-induced fatigue damage calculation, motion RAOs calculated from a direct wave load analysis and regular waves with different periods and unit wave heights were utilized. Then, the member end force transfer functions were generated covering all the loading conditions. Stress response transfer functions at each joint were produced using the specified SCFs and member end force transfer functions. fatigue damages were calculated using the obtained stress ranges, S-N curve, wave spectrum, heading probability of each loading condition, and their corresponding occurrences in the wave scatter diagrams. For the wind induced fatigue damage calculation, a dynamic wind spectral fatigue analysis was performed. First, a dynamic natural frequency analysis was performed to generate the structural dynamic characteristics, including the eigenvalues (natural frequencies), eigenvectors (mode shapes), and mass matrix. To adequately represent the dynamic characteristic of the structure, the number of modes was appropriately determined in the lateral direction. Second, a wind spectral fatigue analysis was performed using the mode shapes and mass data obtained from the previous results. In this analysis, the Weibull distribution of the wind speed occurrence, occurrence probability in each direction, damping coefficient, S-N curves, and SCF of each joint were defined and used. In particular, the wind fatigue damages were calculated under the assumption that the stress ranges followed a Rayleigh distribution. The total fatigue damages were calculated from the combination with wind and wave fatigue damages according to the DNV rule.

High resolution spectral analysis is essential for ECG anaysis. The fast Fourier transform has been widely used for frequency analysis of ECG signals but this procedure provides poor resolution when the data record is short and shows Gibb's phenomena. The ARMA FTF (Fast Transversal Filter) algorithm is used for high resolution spectral analysis. The reason of unsalability of this algorithm is investigated and the method for improving the numerical stability is proposed. The proposed algorithm is applied to spectral analysis of the ECG. Since this result has less variations than the FFT based results, it can be used for the computerized diagonosis of the ECG.
