An analytical-computational method along with finite element analysis (FEA) has been employed to analyse the dynamic behaviour of deteriorated structures excited by time- varying mass. The present analysis is focused on the comparative study of a double cracked beam with inclined edge cracks and transverse open cracks subjected to traversing mass. The assumed computational method applied is the fourth order Runge-Kutta method. The analysis of the structure has been carried out at constant transit mass and speed. The response of the structure is determined at different crack depth and crack inclination angles. The influence of the parameters like crack depth and crack inclination angles are investigated on the dynamic behaviour of the structure. The results obtained from the assumed computational method are compared with those of the FEA for validation and found good agreements with FEA.

A newly developed high intensity discharge (HID) automotive headlamp results in a high luminous gradient at the cutoff line, and proves the superior concept in safer and more com-fortable nighttime driving. This new headlamp technology Provides drivers expanded night vision by a significantly improved light pattern. However, the HID headlamp may dazzle other traffics during traversing a rough road or encountering an unexpected bump. To resolve this problem, an automatic headlamp leveling device is necessary. A preview control is presented for the design of the leveling system. The proposed control algorithm is capable of attenuating a dynamic glare which is one of the major detractors to a driving in dark roads. Computer simulations using ADAMS are carried out to confirm the effectiveness on the control system.

A high-fidelity model of a tracked vehicle traversing a flexible ground terrain with a varying profile is presented here. In this work, we employed a recursive formulation to model the track subsystem. This method yields a minimal set of coordinates and hence, computationally more efficient than conventional approaches. Also, in the vehicle subsystem, the undercarriage frame is assumed to be connected to the chassis by a revolute joint and a spring-damper unit. This increase in system mobility makes the model more realistic. To capture the vehicle-ground interaction, a Winkler-type foundation with springs-dampers is used. Simulation runs of the integrated tracked vehicle system for vibrations for four varying ground profiles are provided.

본 논문에서는 영상분할에 이용되는 대부분의 기존방법들에서의 문제점을 해결하기 위해 입력 영상으로부터 형성된 계층적 피라밋 영상구조를 이용하여 영상을 분할하는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법은 통계적 방식에 의한 물체검출 및 묘사과정으로 이루어져 있다. 물체검출 방법에서는 계층적 영상구조에서 발생하는 클러스터링의 유효성 문제를 해결하기 위해 통계적 IFSVR 알고리듬과 FSVR 알고리듬을 제안하였고, 이를 이용하여 관심대상 화소를 검출하였다. 물체묘사 방법은 고해상도 레벨로 검출된 최적 물체화소를 투사하고 처리하기 위해 톱다운 추적방식인 반복 알고리듬을 제안하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 2진 영상과 실영상 모두에서 제안된 분할방법을 분석하였고, 그 결과 계층적 피라밋구조에 기초를 둔 접근방법이 영상분할에 대한 유용한 특성을 가지고 있음을 입증하였으며, 병렬처리기에서 처리된다면 각 알고리듬이 n${\times}$n 영상에 대해 0(log n)의 계산량이 요구된다.

In controlling servomechanism, such as X-Y tables, friction is one of the most significant source of tracking error. Existing friction models work well when the direction of the motion does not change. However, when the direction of motion changes such as traversing a circular profile, relatively large tracking errors referred to as 'quadrant glitches' are introduced. In this paper, a new friction model, which has a term that can compensate the effect of the quadrant glitches, is proposed. The performance and effectiveness of the proposed model are evaluated through the experimental work. The results show that the controlling servomechanism with the proposed model completely remove the quadrant glitches.

This paper describes the evaluation of a robot based filament winding cell consisting of an industrial robot (ASEA IRB 6/2) and an in-house fabricated mandrel drive mechanism, both being coordinated by a personal computer. As in many manufacturing processes, tradeoffs exist between accuracy and speed. The accuracy versus speed relationships of the robotic winding cell were experimentally determined for discrete, fine and medium movement modes while traversing a segmented delivery eye path for a cylindrical mandrel in three configurations (in-line, offset and angled with respect to the axis of rotation). the results show that the robot winding cell is appropriate for very accurate winding of fibre strands if the mandrel axis is concentric with the mandrel drive axis and the discrete mode(i.e. low speed) of the robot is used.

This study was carried out vibration attenuation of vibration absorber attached to the cantilever beam structure. Modern tank guns are stabilized to allow fire on the move while traversing uneven terrain. However, as the length of the barrel is extended, to meet required muzzle exit velocities, the terrain induced vibrations lead to increased muzzle pointing errors. Thus, reducing these vibrations should lead to increased accuracy. The vibration absorber includes a compliant energy storage device, such as a spring, and a mass secured to the energy storage device. In this study, it accomplished a research in about gun barrel vibration attenuation using tuned mass damper. The barrel was hung from a bungee cord for free-free condition. It accomplished a vibration experiment for verified attenuation efficiency.

This paper proposes a new contour detection method and adaptive reconstruction scheme for the cylindrical organs, such as blood vessels or arteries. Furthermore, we present java-based navigation controller which has been built to examine the inside of cylindrical objects. Tn the preprocessing procedure, a few preprocessing image filters are applied in order to remove unwanted artifacts from the medical images and to estimate threshold values for the object of interest. We define a context-free grammar, which is proper fur properties of contours of cylindrical objects. In the next procedure, we extract contours using advanced radial gradient method and represent contours as context-free grammar derivation trees. We build polygons between two contours efficiently by traversing the derivations trees of the contours. We fly through the reconstructed virtual models using java-based navigation controller and VRML viewer.

The effects of weight and axial inertia of a beam are taken into account for studying the nonlinear vibration of the Timoshenko beam due to external loads. The combination of Galerkins method and Runge-Kutta method are employed to obtain the dynamic responses of the beam. A concentrated force and a two-axle vehicle traversing on the beam are taken as two examples to investigate the response characteristics of the beam. Results show that the effect of axial inertia of the beam increases the fundamental period of the beam. Further, both the dynamic deflection and the dynamic moment of the beam obtained with including the effect of axial inertia of the beam are greater than those of the beam without including that effect of the beam.

In this paper, an analytic method to examine the random vibration of multispan Timoshenko frames due to a concentrated load traversing at a constant velocity is presented. A load's magnitude is a stationary process in time with a constant mean value and a variance. Two types of variances of this load are considered: white noise process and cosine process. The effects of both velocity and statistical characteristics of load and span number of the frame on both the mean value and variance of deflection and moment of the structure are investigated. Results obtained from a multispan Timoshenko frame are compared with those of a multispan Bernoulli-Euler frame.
