  • The stress concentration of the integral welded attachments (IWA) often used to support piping system has been a big issue because it induces local stresses in piping. The method to evaluate local stresses associated with attachments on elbows has been suggested in EPRI TR-107453. However, there are limitations regarding specific parameters range in order to use correlation equation. In this paper, parametric study based on piping elbow size and attachment dimension was performed utilizing finite element analysis (FEA) to evaluate the secondary stress indices of hollow circular cross section welded attachments on piping elbows with the extended parameters range. The results of the FEA were used to develop correlation formulas for calculating secondary stress indices. The empirical equations in this study are suggested as an alternative evaluation method of EPRI TR-107453 by extending parameters range.

  • There is growing interest in Vision-based video image matching owing to the constantly developing technology of unmanned-based systems. The purpose of this paper is the development of a fast and effective matching technique for the UAV oblique video image. We first extracted initial matching points using NCC (Normalized Cross-Correlation) algorithm and improved the computational efficiency of NCC algorithm using integral image. Furthermore, we developed a triangulation-based outlier removal algorithm to extract more robust matching points among the initial matching points. In order to evaluate the performance of the propose method, our method was quantitatively compared with existing image matching approaches. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed method can process 2.57 frames per second for video image matching and is up to 4 times faster than existing methods. The proposed method therefore has a good potential for the various video-based applications that requires image matching as a pre-processing.

  • In bicycle design, saddle is the major part which effects the subjective comfort of rider. This study examines the correlation between the subjective comfort and elastic body pressure. The elastic body pressure measuring instrument for free-form surface such as saddle is developed by force sensor register, A/D converter and computer. The subjective comfort is measured quantit- atively by 11-point scale method and the elastic body pressure distribution is obtained through 3 different saddles at 4 postures. The pressure distribution is presented by computerized equi- pressure contour. While mean pressure, standard deviation of pressure, maximum pressure are inversely proportional to subjective comfort, the modified saddle-bearing weight which is the surface integral of pressure is directly proportional. Consequently, standard deviation of pressure is most important characteristic which affects variation of subjective comfort.

  • In case of Mindlin plate, not only the bending deformation but also the shear behavior is allowed. While the bending and shear stiffness are given in the same order in terms of elastic modulus, they are in different order in case of plate thickness. Accordingly, bending and shear contributions have to be dealt with independently if the stochastic finite element analysis is performed on the Mindlin plate taking into account of the uncertain plate thickness. In this study, a formulation is suggested to give the response variability of Mindlin plate taking into account of the uncertainties in elastic modulus as well as in the thickness of plate, a geometrical parameter, and their correlation. The cubic function of thickness and the correlation between elastic modulus and thickness are incorporated into the formulation by means of the modified auto- and cross-correlation functions, which are constructed based on the general formula for n-th joint moment of random variables. To demonstrate the adequacy of the proposed formulation, a plate with various boundary conditions is taken as an example and the results are compared with those obtained by means of classical Monte Carlo simulation.

  • Effect of alkyl substitution on stabilization of $\alpha$-aminomethyl radicals, $CH_2NH_2$, has been investigated using MINDO/3-RHF method. Stabilization energies obtained from total energy of radicals indicated that the alkyl substitution decreases radical stability, which is in agreement with the ab initio MO results of Goddard but is contrary to trend shown by experimental results. It was also found that conformations of radicals were different from ab initio results. When, however, approximate account of electron correlation was made in the estimation of stabilization energies of radicals by assuming a proportionality between coulomb correlation and one center exchange integral, the order of radical stability was shown to agree to that found experimentally. It was therefore concluded that the main cause of discrepancy between theoretical and experimental order of stability of alkylsubstituted radicals is the failure of accounting electron correlation energies in the theoretical estimation.

  • In the kinetic theory of dense fluids the many-particle collision bracket integral is given in terms of a classical collision operator defined in the phase space. To find an algorithm to compute the collision bracket integrals, we revisit the eigenvalue problem of the Liouville operator and re-examine the method previously reported [Chem. Phys. 1977, 20, 93]. Then we apply the notion and concept of the eigenfunctions of the Liouville operator and knowledge acquired in the study of the eigenfunctions to cast collision bracket integrals into more convenient and suitable forms for numerical simulations. One of the alternative forms is given in the form of time correlation function. This form, on a further manipulation, assumes a form reminiscent of the Chapman- Enskog collision bracket integrals, but for dense gases and liquids as well as solids. In the dilute gas limit it would give rise precisely to the Chapman-Enskog collision bracket integrals for two-particle collision. The alternative forms obtained are more readily amenable to numerical simulation methods than the collision bracket integrals expressed in terms of a classical collision operator, which requires solution of classical Lippmann-Schwinger integral equations. This way, the aforementioned kinetic theory of dense fluids is made fully accessible by numerical computation/simulation methods, and the transport coefficients thereof are made computationally as accessible as those in the linear response theory.

  • This paper is based on the design and analysis computing model of oxygen saturation with the pulse oximeter using the integral ratio of pulsating components. In our proposed algorithm. we modeled the transmitted optical signal in fingertip or earlobe to DC component $A_{dc}$ pulsating component $A_a\;Sinwt$, noise component $A_{noise}$ and etc.. To separate the pulsating components and DC components efficiently, we defined the signal average to DC components. Also we presented the way to eliminate the noise using integral ratio. To acquire a linearity of correlation graph for pulsating components ratios and non invasive oxygen saturation. we intensively observed on the oxygen saturations in the range of 75-100% in consideration of the error range of simulator. Also, for real time processing we experimented on changing the period of area calculating cycle from 1 to 6. The functional evaluation of the algorithm is compared with the method using the amplitude ratio of pulsating components frequently seen with pulse oximeter. The result was that our algorithm with 4 cycles of area calculating cycle which considered to be best fit by 1% to the existing method. Moreover r , the decision coefficient showing the correlation of regression graph with real data, proved better result of 0.985 than 0.970.

  • This paper deals with finite element analysis for incompressible viscous flow problem By formulating the governing equation based on the streamline upwind concept , the wiggle phenomenon of fluid flow is minimized in spite of a few number of finite element used. The penalty function method which can reduce the number of independent variables is adopted for the purpose of computational efficiency and the selected reduced integral is carried out for the convection and pressure terms to reserve the stability of solution. In time-history analysis of fluid flow, the accuracy and reliability of an obtained solution are established by using the predictor-corrector method. Finally, correlation studies between analytical and experimental results are conducted wi th the object ive to establish the validity of the proposed numerical approach.

  • In this study, we suggest a stochastic finite element scheme for the probabilistic analysis of the composite laminated plates, which have been applied to variety of mechanical structures due to their high strength to weight ratios. The applied concept in the formulation is the weighted integral method, which has been shown to give the most accurate results among others. We take into account the elastic modulus and in-plane shear modulus as random. For individual random parameters, independent stochastic field functions are assumed, and the effect of these random parameters on the response are estimated based on the exponentially varying auto- and cross-correlation functions. Based on example analyses, we suggest that composite plates show a less coefficient of variation than plates of isotropic and orthotropic materials. For the validation of the proposed scheme, Monte Carlo analysis is also performed, and the results are compared with each other.

  • In this paper, we propose a novel approach to enhance the recognition performance of a far and partially occluded three-dimensional (3-D) target in computational curving-effective integral imaging (CEII) by using the direct pixel-mapping (DPM) method. With this scheme, the elemental image array (EIA) originally picked up from a far and partially occluded 3-D target can be converted into a new EIA just like the one virtually picked up from a target located close to the lenslet array. Due to this characteristic of DPM, resolution and quality of the reconstructed target image can be highly enhanced, which results in a significant improvement of recognition performance of a far 3-D object. Experimental results reveal that image quality of the reconstructed target image and object recognition performance of the proposed system have been improved by 1.75 dB and 4.56% on the average in PSNR (peak-to-peak signal-to-noise ratio) and NCC (normalized correlation coefficient), respectively, compared to the conventional system.
