In this present paper, a semi-analytical mesh-free method is employed for the three-dimensional free vibration analysis of a bi-directional functionally graded piezoelectric circular structure. The dependent variables have been expanded by Fourier series with respect to the circumferential direction and have been discretized through radial and axial directions based on the mesh-free shape function. The current approach has a distinct advantage. The nonlinear Green-Lagrange strain is employed as the relationship between strain and displacement fields to observe thermal impacts in stiffness matrices. Nevertheless, high order terms have been neglected at the final steps of equations driving. The material properties are assumed to vary continuously in both radial and axial directions simultaneously in accordance with a power law distribution. The convergence and validation studies are conducted by comparing our proposed solution with available published results to investigate the accuracy and efficiency of our approach. After the validation study, a parametric study is undertaken to investigate the temperature effects, different types of polarization, mechanical and electric boundary conditions and geometry parameters of structures on the natural frequencies of functionally graded piezoelectric circular structures.

Ternary sequences are digital codes consisting of discrete values -1, 0, and 1 only. They are advantageous in that the correlation can be carried out using additions only. Also, they feature an ideal circular autocorrelation function, but in channel characterization tasks, the usual requirement is that the linear autocorrelation function be ideal, i.e., a Kronecker delta function. In this article, we consider two approaches to improving their linear autocorrelation or crosscorrelation properties: one is an inverse filtering method with thresholding, and the other is a singular value decomposition (SVD) method. Both methods are simulated under noisy circumstances. The inverse filtering method resulted in an improvement in peak sidelobe level of about 11 dB at an SNR of 30 dB, and the SVD method showed similar performances, albeit more sensitive to noise depending on the singular value selection strategy.

An algorithm for block-decomposition of a linear, time-invariant, discrete large-scale systems is presented, based upon the matrix sign function on Z-plane. The block-decomposition is performed by defining a reference circle, a circular stripe and projection operators. Simulation study shows that the presented algorithm is very useful for multivariable control system's analysis and design.

본 논문에서는 회전과 크리에 무관한 상관결과를 얻기 위하여 WCHF-fSDF(wavelet circular harmonic function-filter modulation synthetic discriminant function)필터를 제안하였다. WCHF-fSDF 필터는 기준영상에 대하여 크기변화된 영상들을 웨이브릿 변환한 후, 이들로부터 추출한 단일 원형고조함수를 학습영상으로 사용하여 합성한다. 웨이브릿 변환은 입력영상과 웨이브릿 함수와의 상관으로 정의되므로 웨이브릿 변환을 이용한 패턴인식을 하기 위해서는 두 개의 4f 광 상관 시스템이 필요하다. 여기서 입력영상에 필요한 웨이브릿 함수를 제안된 필터의 설계과정에 포함시켜 전체 광 상관 시스템을 하나의 4f 광상관시스템을 대체시켰다.

This paper shows the study of preswirl duct as an effective energy saving devices that have been devised and reviewed to support the propeller performance, especially for the ship of VLCC with large block coefficients. From the bare hull wake measurements, typical upper/lower asymmetry of hull wake at the propeller disk was found. The 2 kinds of pre-swirl duct, Unconventional half circular duct and Conventional circular pre-swirl duct have been designed and reviewed to recover the loss of propeller running in that condition. The general function of the pre-swirl duct was set to work against this asymmetry of wake and generate pre-swirled flow into the propeller against the propeller rotating direction. The optimum self propulsion tests with various angle configurations were carried out and the best configuration was decided. Accordingly, cavitation test was carried out with best configuration of unconventional half circular duct. The blade surface and tip vortex cavitation behaved smoother when the duct was mounted. The hull pressure amplitudes reflected this difference, so the hull pressure amplitude with duct was smaller than that of without duct.

The optical activity of a fluid in the extreme critical region, where the Ornstein-Zernike theory does not hold, is explicitly obtained. We suggest new experimental methods to measure the critical exponent for correlation function by using the results of circular dichroism and optical rotation given in this paper.

When the Chebyshev function is applied to design the waveguide transition, it exhibits poor impedance matching characteristics due to impedance discontinuities at the ends of tapered line. In this paper, an improved Chebyshev function, which is obtained by using the convolution property, is proposed to make improvements on the impedance matching characteristics of the waveguide transition. When rectangular to circular waveguide transition is designed by improved function, then the computed return loss is approximately 5 dB better than the conventional Chebyshev function.

In this paper, DOA(direction of arrival) of multiple incident signals received from linear array antenna and circular array antenna, which is based on nonparametric estimation algorithm, and adaptive beam-forming algorithm are studied and analyzed. In nonparametric estimation algorithm, we minimize a regularized objective function for finding a estimate of the signal energy as a function of angle, using nonquadratic norm which leads to supper resolution and noise suppression. And then, DOA is estimated by the signal and noise spatial steering vector, and adaptive beam-forming pattern is improved by weight vectors obtained from the spatial vector. Especially, the discrimination ability of DOA and the adaptive beam-forming ability according to antenna array methods and the number of array elements are compared and considered.

The localized shear and the slip lines are easily observed in elastic-brittle-plastic rock. After yielding, the strength of the brittle rock suddenly drops from the peak value to the residual value, and there are slip lines which divide the macro rock into numbers of elements. There are slippages of elements along the slip lines and the displacement field in the plastic region is discontinuous. With some restraints, the discontinuities can be described by the combination of two smooth functions, one is for the meaning of averaging the original function, and the other is for characterizing the breaks of the original function. The slip lines around the circular opening in the plastic region of an isotropic H-B rock which subjected to a hydrostatic in situ stress can be described by the logarithmic spirals. After failure, the deformation mechanism of the plastic region is mainly attributed to the slippage, and a slippage parameter is introduced. A new analytical solution is presented for the plane strain analysis of displacements around circular openings. The displacements obtained by using the new solution are found to be well coincide with the exact solutions from the published sources.
