An adaptive optics system can be simulated or analyzed to predict its closed-loop performance. However, this type of prediction based on various assumptions can occasionally produce outcomes which are far from actual experience. Thus, every adaptive optics system is desired to be tested in a closed loop on an optical test bench before its application to a telescope. In the close-loop test bench, we need an atmospheric simulator that simulates atmospheric disturbances, mostly in phase, in terms of spatial and temporal behavior. We report the development of an atmospheric turbulence simulator consisting of two point sources, a commercially available deformable mirror with a $12{\times}12$ actuator array, and two random phase plates. The simulator generates an atmospherically distorted single or binary star with varying stellar magnitudes and angular separations. We conduct a simulation of a binary star by optically combining two point sources mounted on independent precision stages. The light intensity of each source (an LED with a pin hole) is adjustable to the corresponding stellar magnitude, while its angular separation is precisely adjusted by moving the corresponding stage. First, the atmospheric phase disturbance at a single instance, i.e., a phase screen, is generated via a computer simulation based on the thin-layer Kolmogorov atmospheric model and its temporal evolution is predicted based on the frozen flow hypothesis. The deformable mirror is then continuously best-fitted to the time-sequenced phase screens based on the least square method. Similarly, we also implement another simulation by rotating two random phase plates which were manufactured to have atmospheric-disturbance-like residual aberrations. This later method is limited in its ability to simulate atmospheric disturbances, but it is easy and inexpensive to implement. With these two methods, individually or in unison, we can simulate typical atmospheric disturbances observed at the Bohyun Observatory in South Korea, which corresponds to an area from 7 to 15 cm with regard to the Fried parameter at a telescope pupil plane of 500 nm.

In this paper, we deal with the wavefront compensation capability of a silicon carbide (SiC) deformable mirror (DM) with 37 actuators for adaptive optics. The wavefront compensation capability of the SiC DM is predicted by computer simulation and examined by actual experiments with a closed-loop adaptive optics system consistsing of a light source, a phase plate, a SiC DM, a high speed Shack-Hartmann sensor, and a control computer. Distortion of wavefront is caused by the phase plate in the closed-loop adaptive optics system. The distorted wavefront has a peak-to-valley (PV) wavefront error of $0.3{\mu}m{\sim}0.9{\mu}m$ and root-mean-square (RMS) error of $0.06{\mu}m{\sim}0.25{\mu}m$. The high-speed Shack-Hartmann sensor measures the wavefront error of the distortion caused by the phase plate, and the SiC DM compensates for the distorted wavefront. The compensated wavefront has residual errors lower than $0.1{\mu}m$ PV and $0.03{\mu}m$ RMS. Consequently, we conclude that we can compensate for the distorted wavefront using the SiC DM in the closed-loop adaptive optics system with an operating frequency speed of 500 Hz.

하나의 구동기를 작동하여 거울을 변형시킬 때, 변형된 거울면의 형태를 영향 함수(influence function)라고 정의하며, 이러한 영향 함수를 이용하여 적응 광학계의 주요한 광학 요소인 변형 거울을 효과적으로 모형화하고 설계할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 유한요소해석을 이용하여 계산된 변형 거울의 실제 영향 함수를 가우시안 함수(Gaussian function) 형태로 단순화하고, 추가로 구동기들 사이의 영향을 고려한 커플링 계수(coupling coefficient)를 도입하여, 주어진 구동기 배열에 대한 영향 함수를 결정하였다.

변형거울은 적응광학계(Adaptive Optics System)에서 파면 측정 센서와 더불어 중요한 장치로서 왜곡된 파면을 보정하는 역할을 한다. 이 실험에서는 저가의 박막 변형거울을 이용한 파면 보정 방법을 연구하였다. 박막거울의 변형은 알루미늄으로 코팅된 박막과 37개의 제어 전극에 각각 바이어스 전압과 제어전압을 가함으로서 이루어졌다. 박막거울에서 나타나는 바이어스 전압에 의한 경면의 초기 오목 변형은 수동 변형 거울 (MDM)을 사용해서 0.1 wave 이내로 보정할 수 있었다. (중략)

동화상 압축에서 사용되는 움직임 벡터는 영상을 일정한 크기의 블록으로 나누어 이전 영상과 가장 예측 오류가 적은 곳을 지정하여 예측한다. 블록의 이동 정도는 수직. 수평의 선형적인 움직임(translational displacements)을 가정하여 사용하기 때문에 실제 화상에서 자주 나타나는 물체의 확대 또는 축소에 의한 크기 변화. 회전. 일그러짐 등의 변화에 올바르게 예측하지 못하는 문제를 가지고 있다. 본 논문은 블록의 선형적인 이동은 물론이고 4개 노드를 자유롭게 움직임일 수 있는 왜곡된 블록 정합 방식의 움직임 예측 기법에 대하여 소개하고 왜곡 블록 정합 방식에서 나타날 수 있는 기하학적인 오류를 수정하는 보정 방법에 관해 논의한다.

Dissipative particle dynamics simulations of bead-spring dumbbell models under microchannel flow were performed and the effects of the deformation on their migration behavior were discussed. Dumbbells were found to migrate toward the walls or the channel center depending on the stiffness. Stiff dumbbells migrated toward the walls. In any cases, the dumbbells were found to have a stronger tendency to move toward the channel center in more deformable conditions.

This paper proposes a hierarchical approach to active shape model using wavelet transform. The proposed algorithm allows us to use both global shape characteristics and finer details for model deformation. The statistical properties of the wavelet transform of a deformable model are analyzed by principal component analysis and used as priors in the contour's deformation.

Two-way shape memory effect(TWSME) under residual stresses are considered in the present study. The structure using two-way shape memory alloy(SMA) concept returns to its initial shape by increasing or decreasing temperature under the initially given residual stress. In the present study, we use a thermo-mechanical constitutive equation of SMA and laminated composite plates are considered as simple morphing structural components which are based on first order shear deformable laminated composite plate with large deflection. Numerical results of fully coupled SMA-composite structures are presented

Recently much attention has been drawn to meshfree method since conventional methods such as FDM, FVM and FEM have suffered from difficulty with mesh generation for complex geometry and deformable bodies. In this paper, an upwind point collocation meshfree method developed by the authors is applied to two shock wave diffraction problems. One is the shock diffraction over a 90-degree corner and the other is the single Mach reflection on a ramp. The scheme showed stability and the results showed accuracy.

The purpose of this paper is to develop methods for the dynamic analysis of multibody system that consist of interconnected rigid and deformable component. The equations of motion are derived by using the Lagrange's equation and finite element theory for the elastic mechanism systems. The type of equation of motion is the differential algebraic equation included kinematic nonlinear algebraic equation. The generalized coordinate partitioning method is used for solving this equation. To show the validity of this analysis solver, couple of models were canalized and those results were compared with the commercial package(ADAMS).
