In this article, the influence of fuzzified uncertain composite elastic properties on non-linear deformation behaviour of the composite structure is investigated under external mechanical loadings (uniform and sinusoidal distributed loading) including the different end boundaries. In this regard, the composite model has been derived considering the fuzzified elastic properties (through a triangular fuzzy function, α cut) and the large geometrical distortion (Green-Lagrange strain) in the framework of the higher-order mid-plane kinematics. The results are obtained using the fuzzified nonlinear finite element model via in-house developed computer code (MATLAB). Initially, the model accuracy has been established and explored later to show the dominating elastic parameter affect the deflection due to the inclusion of fuzzified properties by solving a set of new numerical examples.

지적 필지를 구성하고 있는 폴리곤 집합은 현실세계의 국토를 반영하는 가장 기반이 되는 데이터 집합이다. 따라서 지적 필지는 서로 간에 겹쳐있거나 공백을 가지지 않는 위상적 무결성이 보장되어야하는 데이터이다. 하지만, 여러 가지 이유로 필지들 간의 겹침과 공백의 문제가 발생하고 있고, 이러한 경우 폴리곤의 경계들은 주변의 폴리곤과 정확하게 인접하고 있지 못하기 때문에 의도하지 않은 겹침 영역과 공백 영역이 생산되고 있다. 이와 같이 정확하게 인접되어 있지 않은 경계가 불확실한 모서리를 하나 이상 포함하고 있는 경우, 이 폴리곤을 불확실한 영역이라고 부른다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 영역을 탐색하기 위한 TTA 기법을 제안하고자 한다. TTA 처리 순서는 우선 폴리곤 데이터 집합으로부터 포인트와 폴리라인을 추출하여 제한된 델로네 삼각분할을 수행한다. 다음으로 각 삼각형마다 데이터 집합과 중첩되는 면의 수를 세어 삼각형에 태깅을 수행한다. 태깅 값이 0 또는 1 이상인 삼각형을 추출한 후 연결성을 가지고 있는 삼각형끼리 병합을 수행하여 위상적 모순이 있는 영역들을 발견한다. 본 실험에서는 제안하는 알고리즘을 자동화하여 실세계에서 경계가 교차하는 지적 데이터에 적용하여 실험을 하였다.

Traditionally, in the hospital the doctors saw the TRUS images by their eyes and manually segmented the boundary between the prostate and nonprostate. But the manually segmenting process not only needed too much time but also had different boundaries according to the doctor. To cope the problems, some automatic segmentations of the prostate have been studied to generate the constant segmentation results and get the belief from patients. Besides, on detecting the boundary, the ones in the middle of all images are easy to find the boundary but the base and apex of the images are hard to do it since there are lots of uncertain boundary. Accurate detection of prostate boundaries is a challenging and difficult task due to weak prostate boundaries, speckle noises and the short range of gray levels. In this paper, we propose the method that extracts a prostate boundary using features of its directions on prostate image. As a result of our experiments, it shows that the boundary never falls short of the existing methods or human expert's segmentation. And also, its searching speed is too fast because the method searches a smaller area that other methods.

In this work, we propose a new mechanistic model for the treatment of helium behaviour at the grain boundaries in oxide nuclear fuel. The model provides a rate-theory description of helium inter-granular behaviour, considering diffusion towards grain edges, trapping in lenticular bubbles, and thermal resolution. It is paired with a rate-theory description of helium intra-granular behaviour that includes diffusion towards grain boundaries, trapping in spherical bubbles, and thermal re-solution. The proposed model has been implemented in the meso-scale software designed for coupling with fuel performance codes SCIANTIX. It is validated against thermal desorption experiments performed on doped UO₂ samples annealed at different temperatures. The overall agreement of the new model with the experimental data is improved, both in terms of integral helium release and of the helium release rate. By considering the contribution of helium at the grain boundaries in the new model, it is possible to represent the kinetics of helium release rate at high temperature. Given the uncertainties involved in the initial conditions for the inter-granular part of the model and the uncertainties associated to some model parameters for which limited lower-length scale information is available, such as the helium diffusivity at the grain boundaries, the results are complemented by a dedicated uncertainty analysis. This assessment demonstrates that the initial conditions, chosen in a reasonable range, have limited impact on the results, and confirms that it is possible to achieve satisfying results using sound values for the uncertain physical parameters.

By highlighting the efficiencies gained from regional specialization, the cluster concept has distracted economic development officials from their traditional role of diversifying regional and local economies. Clustering was a viable strategy for much of the 18 years following its original appearance in the literature. Now, two events cast doubt on the continued viability of cluster-based specialization. First, the digital convergence has blurred the boundaries that once separated one industry from another. An industry cluster strategy becomes difficult when the industry cannot be defined. Second, many cluster initiatives fail. Combining literature search with the system-theoretic notions of efficiency and redundancy, we find many factors moderate cluster success. This implies regions facing uncertain success in their cluster-building efforts should thoroughly understand their unique circumstances and build upon them. Regions with successful clusters are advised to aim for multiple related clusters or superclusters.

A concept called Allowable Load Set (ALS) is introduced and methods of finding its boundaries are developed. The resulting diagram allows an easy understanding of load and strength characteristics of a structure in relation to structural integrity under uncertain loading conditions. An allowable load diagram for an ALS visualizes the relation between a prescribed load and a degree of safety of the structure. During the application of the algorithms, critical areas of the structure are identified. A systematic method of finding the allowable load sets for multi-body mechanical systems is especially presented and applied to an excavator as a realistic case.

This paper describes power potential field method for the collision-free path planning of stereo-vision based mobile robot. Area based stereo matching is performed for obstacle detection in uncertain environment. The repulsive potential is constructed by distributing source points discretely and evenly on the boundaries of obstacles and superposing the power potential which is defined so that the source potential will have more influence on the robot than the sink potential when the robot is near to source point. The mobile robot approaches the goal point by moving the robot directly in negative gradient direction of the main potential. We have investigated the possibility of power potential method for the collision-free path planning of mobile robot through various experiments.

Video event detection has become an essential application in multimedia computing. For sports video, salient events are usually detected by analyzing video sequence by specific decision rules. However in many kinds of sports video (e.g. soccer), the game contains continuous actions, in which the boundaries of shots, scenes are uncertain. So the conventional analyzing methods using crisp decisions are not efficient. Fuzzy logic is a natural approach that can tackle this problem. In this paper, we present a new approach using fuzzy technique for event detection in soccer video. The experiment shows encouraging results for this method

Loading protocols have been developed for quasi-static cyclic testing of structures and components. However, it is uncertain if protocols developed for conditions of intense ground shaking in regions of high seismicity would also be applicable to regions of low-moderate seismicity that are remote from the tectonic plate boundaries. This study presents a methodology for developing a quasi-static cyclic displacement loading protocol for experimental bracing evaluation of cold-formed steel stud shear walls. Simulations presented in the paper were based on conditions of moderate ground shaking (in Australia). The methodologies presented are generic in nature and can be applied to other regions of similar seismicity conditions (which include many parts of China, Korea, India and Malaysia). Numerous response time histories including both linear and nonlinear analyses have been generated for selected earthquake scenarios and site classes. Rain-flow cycle counting method has been used for determining the number of cycles at various ranges of normalized displacement amplitude. It is found that the number of displacement cycles of the loading protocol increases with increasing intensity of ground shaking (associated with a longer return period).

일반적으로 병원의 의사들은 눈으로 전립선 영상을 보고 수동으로 전립선과 배경의 경계를 구분하였다. 그러나 수동으로 자르는 과정은 너무 많은 시간을 소모하고 의사에 따라 다양한 경계가 추출되었다. 이런 문제를 줄이기 위해 자동 추출방식이 필요하게 되었지만, 전립선 경계의 정확한 추출은 작은 잡음이나 옅은 경계로 인하여 상당히 어려운 일이다. 지금까지 SVM, SIFT, 가버 텍스처 필터, 뱀형상 윤곽선 방법, 평균형상모델들과 같은 많은 연구가 진행되었다. 게다가, 2차원뿐만 3차원 영상, CT나 MRI 등에 관한 연구도 진행되었다. 하지만 아직까지 인간 전문가가 가진 경험을 뛰어 넘는 기술은 개발되지 않았으며, 많은 추가적인 연구를 필요로 하고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 전립선 영상의 경계의 평균적인 분포와 경계의 질감 특징을 예축하여 경계를 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 실험 결과, 의사의 추출 방법과 유사한 경계를 얻을 수 있었다.
