In a traditional topology optimization method, material properties are usually distributed by finite element density and visualized by a gray level image. The distribution method based on element density is adequate for a great mass of 2-D topology optimization problems. However, when it is used for 3-D topology optimization, it is always difficult to obtain a smooth model representation, and easily appears a virtualconnect phenomenon especially in a low-density domain. The 3-D structural topology optimization method has been developed using the node density instead of the element density that is based on SIMP (solid isotropic microstructure with penalization) algorithm. A computer code based on Matlab was written to validate the proposed method. When it was compared to the element density as design variable, this method could get a more uniform density distribution. To show the usefulness of this method, several typical examples of structure topology optimization are presented.

We consider local likelihood method with a smoothed version of the model density in stead of an original model density. For simplicity a model is assumed as the log-linear density then we were able to show that the proposed local density estimator is less affected by changes among observations but its bias increases little bit more than that of the currently used local density estimator. Hence if we use the existing method and the proposed method in a proper way we would derive the local density estimator fitting the data in a better way.

This paper reports a method to evaluate the residual strength of insect-damaged radiata pine lumber, such as the screw withdrawal strength as a semi-destructive method and a compression parallel to the grain test to assess the density changes after exposure to outdoor conditions. The screw withdrawal strength test was used as a semi-destructive method to estimate the residual density of decayed lumber. A compression parallel to the grain test was applied to evaluate the residual density. Three variables, such as the screw withdrawal strength, compression parallel to the grain, and residual density, were analyzed statistically to evaluate their relationships. The relationship between the residual density and screw withdrawal strength showed a good correlation, in which the screw withdrawal strength decreased with decreasing density. The other relationship between the residual density and compression parallel to the grain was also positively correlated; the compression parallel to the grain strength decreased with decreasing density. Finally, the correlation between the three variables was statistically significant, and the mutual correlation coefficients showed a strong correlation between the three variables. Hence, these variables are closely correlated. The test results showed that the screw withdrawal strength could be used as a semi-destructive method for an in situ estimation of an existing wood structure. Moreover, the method might approximate the residual density and compression parallel to the grain if supplemented with additional data.

The density approach and the homogenization design method are representative methods in topology optimization problems. In the topology optimization in magnetic fields, those methods are applied based on the results of the applications In elastic fields. In this study, the density method is modified considering the concept of the homogenization design method. Also, the results of the topology optimization in magnetic fields by the modified density method as well as the homogenization method are compared especially focusing the change of the penalization parameter in the density approach. The effect of the definition of the design domain such as global/local design domain is also discussed.

The global force and interaction body force density were evaluated in permanent magnets by using the virtual air-gap scheme incorporating the finite-element method. Until now, the virtual air-gap concept has been successfully applied to calculate a contact force and a body force density in soft magnetic materials. These force calculating methods have been called as generalized methods such as the generalized magnetic charge force density method, the generalized magnetizing current force density method, and the generalized Kelvin force density method. For permanent magnets, however, there have been few research works on a contact force and a force density field. Unlike the conventional force calculating methods resulting in surface force densities, the generalized methods are novel methods of evaluating body force density. These generalized methods yield the actual total force, but their distributions have an irregularity, which seems to be random distributions of body force density. Inside permanent magnets, however, a smooth pattern was obtained in the interaction body force density, which represents the interacting force field among magnetic materials. To evaluate the interaction body force density, the intrinsic force density should be withdrawn from the total force density. Several analysis models with permanent magnets were tested to verify the proposed methods evaluating the interaction body force density and the contact force, in which the permanent magnet contacts with a soft magnetic material.

This paper considers the problem of nonparametric deconvolution density estimation when sample observa-tions are contaminated by double exponentially distributed errors. Three different deconvolution density estima-tors are introduced: a weighted kernel density estimator, a kernel density estimator based on the support vector regression method in a RKHS, and a classical kernel density estimator. The performance of these deconvolution density estimators is compared by means of a simulation study.

A new dynamic reliability analysis of structure under repeated random loads is proposed in this paper. The proposed method is developed based on the idea that the probability density of several times random loads can be derived from the probability density of single-time random load. The reliability prediction models of structure based on time responses under several times random loads with and without strength degradation are obtained by using the stress-strength interference theory and probability density evolution method. The resulting differential equations in the prediction models can be solved by using the forward finite difference method. Then, the probability density functions of strength redundancy of the structures can be obtained. Finally, the structural dynamic reliability can be calculated using integral method. The efficiency of the proposed method is demonstrated numerically through a speed reducer. The results have shown that the proposed method is practicable, feasible and gives reasonably accurate prediction.

Workers' anomalous trajectories allow us to detect emergency situations in the workplace, such as accidents of workers, security threats, and fire. In this work, we develop a scheme to detect abnormal trajectories of workers using the edit distance on real sequence (EDR) and density method. Our anomaly detection scheme consists of two phases: offline phase and online phase. In the offline phase, we design a method to determine the algorithm parameters: distance threshold and density threshold using accumulated trajectories. In the online phase, an input trajectory is detected as normal or abnormal. To achieve this objective, neighbor density of the input trajectory is calculated using the distance threshold. Then, the input trajectory is marked as an anomaly if its density is less than the density threshold. We also evaluate performance of the proposed scheme based on the MIT Badge dataset in this work. The experimental results show that over 80 % of anomalous trajectories are detected with a precision of about 70 %, and F1-score achieves 74.68 %.

In magnetic systems, distribution of electromagnetic force density causes mechanical deformation, which results in noise and vibration. In this paper, Korteweg-Helmholtzs energy method and equivalent magnetic charge method are employed for comparison of their resulting distributions of force density. The force density from the Korteweg-Helmholtzs method is expresses with two Maxwell stresses on the inside and the outside fo magnetic material respectively. The other is calculated using the magnetic Coulombs law. In the numerical model of an electromagnet, their numerical results are compared. The distributions by the two methods are almost the same. And their total forces are also shown to be the same to the one calculated from the conventional Maxwell stress tensor. But the magnetic charge method is easier and more efficient in numerical calculation.

An ozone condenser by a selective adsorption on the silica gel surface is constructed. Ozone density is evaluated by three methods; ultraviolet absorption, thermal decomposition and Q-mass analyzing methods. Thermal decomposition method is found to be available to the density evaluation from dilute to highly condensed ozone. The highest ozone density condensed by the adsorption method is evaluated to be 97 mol%.
