In this paper, the bifurcation criteria for inductive power transfer (IPT) systems is suggested considering the inductive power pad losses. The bifurcation criteria for series-series (SS) and series-parallel (SP) topologies are derived in terms of the main parameters of the IPT system. For deriving precise criteria, power pad resistance is obtained by copper loss calculation and core loss analysis. Utilizing the suggested criteria, possibility of bifurcation occurrence can be predicted in the design process. In order to verify the proposed criteria, 50 W IPT laboratory prototype is fabricated and the feasibilities of the switching frequency and AC load resistance shift to escape from bifurcation are identified.

In this short communication we discuss the bias problems of CART in split variable selection and suggest a method to reduce the variable selection bias. Penalties proportional to the number of categories or distinct values are applied to the splitting criteria of CART. The results of empirical comparisons show that the proposed modification of CART reduces the bias in variable selection.

Real-time hybrid testing (RTHT) involves virtual splitting of the structure into two parts: physical substructure that contains the key region of interest which is tested in a laboratory and numerical substructure that contains the remaining part of the structure in the form of a numerical model. This paper numerically assesses four step-by-step integration methods (Central difference method (CDM), Operator splitting method (OSM), Rosenbrock based method (RBM) and CR-integration method (CR)) which are widely used in RTHT. The methods have been assessed in terms of stability and accuracy for various realistic damping ratios of the physical substructure. The stability is assessed in terms of the spectral radii of the amplification matrix while the accuracy in terms of numerical damping and period distortion. In order to evaluate the performance of the methods, five carefully chosen examples have been studied - undamped SDOF, damped SDOF, instantaneous softening, instantaneous hardening and hysteretic system. The performance of the methods is measured in terms of a non-dimensional error index for displacement and velocity. Based on the error indices, it is observed that OSM and RBM are robust and performs fairly well in all the cases. CDM performed well for undamped SDOF system. CR method can be used for the system showing softening behaviour. The error indices indicate that accuracy of OSM is more than other method in case of hysteretic system. The accuracy of the results obtained through time integration methods for different damping ratios of the physical substructure is addressed in the present study. In the presence of a number of integration methods, it is preferable to have criteria for the selection of the time integration scheme. As such criteria are not available presently, this paper attempts to fill this gap by numerically assessing the four commonly used step-by-step methods.

Much of previous attention on researches of the decision tree focuses on the splitting criteria and optimization of tree size. Nowadays the quantity of the data increase and relation of variables becomes very complex. And hence, this comes to have plenty number of unnecessary node and leaf. Consequently the confidence of the explanation and forecasting of the decision tree falls off. In this research report, we propose some decision tree algorithms considering the interaction of predictor variables. A generic algorithm, the k-1 Algorithm, dealing with the interaction with a combination of all predictor variable is presented. And then, the extended version k-k Algorithm which considers with the interaction every k-depth with a combination of some predictor variables. Also, we present an improved algorithm by introducing control parameter to the algorithms. The algorithms are tested by real field credit card data, census data, bank data, etc.

In this paper, attempts have been made to compare the subjective performance of sub-band coding (SBC) techniques incorporating four representative modulation transfer functions (MTF's) of th human visual system(HVS): Sakrison, Nill, Ngan, and Rao. In SBC, the frequency band of input signal is split into 16 equal sub-bands. In addition, 28 sub-band splitting schemd which splits more sub-bands in low spatial frequency is considered to compare the 4 MTF's effectively. In encoding of each sub-band, the weight of each sub-band obtained from the MTF of HVS is applied to bit allocation process which minimize the weighted mean square error (WMSE). The differential pulse code modulation(DPCM) coder is used to encode the lowest sub-band and the pulse code modulation(PCM) coder is used for the rest of sub-bands. It is found that the images incorporating the MTF of Rao yields the best results in subjective criteria, followed by Ngan, Nill, Sakrison, and the images not employing the HVS.

Conventionally, CCD camera and vision sensor using the projected pattern of light is generally used to inspect the weld bead defects. But with this method, a lot of time is needed for image preprocessing, stripe extraction and thinning, etc. In this study, laser vision sensor using the scanning beam of light is used to shorten the time required for image preprocessing. The software for deciding whether the weld bead is in proper shape or not in real time is developed. The criteria are based upon the classification of imperfections in metallic fusion welds(ISO 6520) and limits for imperfections(ISO 5817).

본 논문에서는 다중 표현(Multiple Description)과 비트율-왜곡 연산자(rate-distortion operator)를 이용하여 에러가 발생하기 쉬운 환경에서 사용될 수 있는 강인한 동영상 압축 알고리듬을 제안한다. 하나의 비디오 스트림을 두 개의 연관된 표현 (description)으로 나누기 위해 과잉 비트율-왜곡(redundancy rate-distortion : RRD) 기준을 사용하였다. 제안하는 방법은 새로 추가한 비트율-왜곡 연산자와 새로 제안된 최적화 방법을 통해 기존의 RRD 기반 방법들보다 최적화 성능을 향상시킬 수 있다. 또한 실질적인 에러 환경을 고려한 새로운 왜곡 측정법(distortion measure)을 정의하였다. 제안하는 다중 표현 동영상 압축기는 H.263 표준을 기반으로 하기 때문에 각각의 표현은 H.263 표준 디코더를 사용하여 독립적으로 디코딩 될 수 있다. 또한, 기존의 방법과는 달리 손실된 표현에 대한 복잡한 예측과정이 없어도 간단한 병합 과정을 통해 여러 개의 표현을 하나의 스트림으로 디코딩 할 수 있다. 모의 실험 결과, 제안하는 다중 표현 동영상 압축 방법은 기존의 다중 표현 분할(multiple description split) 방법보다 모든 비트율에서 더 좋은 성능을 보임을 알 수 있다.

The effect of structure size on the nominal strength of unidirectional fiber-polymer composites, failing by propagation of a kink band with fiber microbuckling, is analyzed experimentally and theoretically. Tests of novel geometrically similar carbon-PEEK specimens, with notches slanted so as to lead to a pure kink band (without shear or splitting cracks), are conducted. The specimens are rectangular strips of widths 15.875, 31.75. and 63.5 mm (0.625, 1.25 and 2.5 in and gage lengths 39.7, 79.375 and 158.75 mm (1.563, 3.125 and 6.25 in.). They reveal the existence of a strong (deterministic. non-statistical) size effect. The doubly logarithmic plot of the nominal strength (load divided by size and thickness) versus the characteristic size agrees with the approximate size effect law proposed for quasibrittle failures in 1983 by Bazant This law represents a gradual transition from a horizontal asymptote, representing the case of no size effect (characteristic of plasticity or strength criteria), to an asymptote of slope -1/2 (characteristic of linear elastic fracture mechanics. LEFM) . The size effect law for notched specimens permits easy identification of the fracture energy of the kink bandand the length of the fracture process zone at the front of the band solely from the measurements of maximum loads. Optimum fits of the test results by the size effect law are obtained, and the size effect law parameters are then used to identify the material fracture characteristics, Particularly the fracture energy and the effective length of the fracture process zone. The results suggest that composite size effect must be considered in strengthening existing concrete structural members such as bridge columns and beams using a composite retrofitting technique.

CFT 구조는 내부의 콘크리트와 강관의 합성거동을 위한 전단연결재를 필요로 한다. 하지만, 현행 설계기준에서는 통상적으로 무근콘크리트로 채워지는 CFT 구조에 적용할 수 있는 전단연결재에 대한 설계기준을 제시하고 있지 않다. 본 연구는 강-콘크리트 합성구조에 널리 사용되는 스터드 전단연결재를 CFT 구조에 적용하기 위한 설계기준 즉, CFT 구조에 적용된 스터드 전단연결재의 전단강도를 제안하기 위한 연구의 일환으로 수행되었다. 본 연구에서는 CFT 구조에 적용된 스터드의 전단강도를 결정하는 주된 파괴모드를 검토하기 위하여 무근콘크리트를 적용한 직접전단실험체를 이용하여 실험을 수행하고 파괴모드를 분석하기 위한 유한요소해석을 실시하였다. 직접전단실험 및 유한요소해석결과로부터 CFT 구조에 적용된 스터드 전단연결재의 주된 파괴모드는 콘크리트의 쪼갬파괴이며, 이러한 파괴모드로 인하여 철근콘크리트에 적용된 스터드에 비해 전단강도가 감소한다는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다.

Breast animation deformity (BAD) has been reported to occur after submuscular implant placement following breast augmentation and immediate breast reconstruction. Despite its apparent impact on patients' quality of life, BAD has only recently become a topic of general concern. Its incidence and etiology have yet to be established. The aim of this systematic review was to identify papers that clearly defined and classified BAD and described how the degree of animation was assessed. We performed a search in PubMed and Embase. Studies meeting the inclusion criteria that described BAD after implant-based breast augmentation or immediate breast reconstruction were included. After screening 866 publications, four studies were included: three describing BAD after breast augmentation and one describing BAD after immediate breast reconstruction. The median percentage of patients with some degree of BAD was 58%. The highest percentages were found in patients operated on using the Regnault technique or the dual-plane technique (73%-78%). The lowest percentages were found following the dual-plane muscle-splitting technique (30%) and the triple-plane technique (33%). We found no studies meeting the inclusion criteria that analyzed BAD after prepectoral implant placement. This review of the current literature suggests that the degree of BAD is proportional to the degree of muscle involvement. Evidence is scarce, and the phenomenon seems to be underreported. Future comparative studies are warranted.
