Stability of vertical escarpments has been the subject of discussion for long time. However, available literature provides scarce knowledge about the effect of the formation of undercut and surface cracks on the stability of a vertical escarpment. The present study deals with a systematic analysis of the effect of surface cracks and undercut on slope stability using finite element based lower bound limit analysis. In the present analysis, the non-dimensional stability factor (${\gamma}H/c$) is used to inspect the degrading effect of undercut and cracks developed at different offset distances from the edge of the vertical escarpment. Failure patterns are also studied in detail to understand the extent and the type of failure zone which may generate during the state of collapse.

대용량의 지형을 실시간에 가시화하기는 어려운 문제이다. 따라서, 지형을 구성하는 메쉬를 간략화하여 다단계 상세도(Level-Of-Detail)를 가진 모델 생성이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 지형 간략화를 위해 에너지의 특성과 주변 정보를 이용한 에지 축약(Edge Collapse) 기반의 단순한 간략화 알고리즘을 제시한다. 기본적인 접근 방법으로는 기하학적인 메쉬 구성요소들 중에서 에지의 특성에 따라 제거 기준을 설정한 후 간략화해 나간다. 속도 향상을 위해 에지 축약 이후의 새로운 점 위치 계산을 에지의 종류에 따라 구분하여 단순하게 계산하였고, 간략화를 위한 제거 기준도 비교적 간단한 기준으로 설정하였다. 간략화 이후에도 원래 지형의 위상(topology)을 유지 할 수 있는 단순한 기법을 제시하고 있다. 실험 결과에서 두 가지 지형 모델에 대해서 정점 제거 방법과의 비교 결과, 간략화된 지형 모델에서의 에러를 최소화하였고, Heckbert가 제안한 방법과의 비교에서는 개선을 하였음을 알 수 있다.

In this paper, LOD (Level Of Detail) for flocking, which is the real-time simulation on the movement or some groups such as fighting soldiers, moving fishes and flying birds, is presented. And a flocking LOD algorithm that uses factors such as the speed of fish, direction, and shape is proposed. Model data is modified for LOD in advance, so as to reduce strange edge collapse and unwanted holes. The errors of model data were identified by transforming polygonal model into octree-based cubes and revised before rendering. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm considering flocking characteristics shows fast frame rates as compared with the conventional continuous LOD algorithm.

This paper presents an algorithm for simplification of 3D triangular mesh data, based on mesh simplification. The proposed algorithm is first attempt to segment the entire mesh into several parts using the orientation of triangles. Then simplification algorithm is applied to each segment that has similar geometric property. The proposed two step multi-resolution modeling scheme would yield better performance then conventional algorithm like edge collapse technique, since the segmentation step can give global information on the input shape. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is performed efficiently.

Recently, the demand for the optical cable is rapidly glowing because the number of internet user increases and high speed internet data transmission is required. To meet this demand, it is necessary to have a sufficient manufacturing capability for mass and high-quality production. But the present optical cable winding system has some serious problems such that the optical cable of radius (6 mm -40 mm) is often piled up and collapsed usually at the edge of the bobbin in the process of the cable winding. It is often necessary to have an additional operator in order to adjust the cable, which causes the productivity decrease. In order to improve a performance of cable winding system which deals with relatively thick cable( radius : 6 mm -40 mm ), we developed a new guiding system for a high-speed self-align cable winding. First of all, the winding mechanism was analyzed. Synchronization logics for the motions of winding, traversing, and the guiding were created and implemented by using the PLC and guiding system controller in a prototype cable winding system manufactured in the CILS( Computer Integrated Large scale System ) lab. An experimental verification was carried out to validate the logic. Results showed that the winding system with the developed guiding system outperformed in reducing pile-up and collapse in the high-speed winding(up to 300 mm/s) compared with the system without the guiding system.

This paper presents an experimental and numerical study on composite tubes for the energy absorber of the high-speed train. The purpose of the experimental study is to find out which lay-up is the best lay-up for the energy absorber. Four lay-ups were tested using quasi static method: $[0/45/90/-45]_4$, $[0]_{16}$, $[0/90]_8$, $[0/30/-30]_5$. Two triggering methods were used to create initial damage and guarantee the progressive collapse mode: bevel edge and notch edge. As a result, $[0/45/90/-45]_4$ lay-up was find out the best lay-up among the laminates being tested. In the numerical study, a parametric analysis was done to find out the most proper way to simulate the quasi static test of a composite tube using LS-DYNA program. A single composite tube was modeled to be crashed by a moving wall. Comparison between simulation and experiment was done. Reasonable agreement between experiment and analysis was obtained. Dealing with parameter TFAIL and the mass scaling factor, this parametric study shows the ability and the limitation of LS-DYNA in modeling the quasi static test for the composite tube.

In general, triangular meshes have been used for modeling geometric objects such as virtual game characters. The dense meshes give us considerable advantages in representing complex, highly detailed objects, while they are more expensive for storing, transmitting and rendering the objects. Therefore, several researches have been performed for producing a high quality approximation in place of detailed objects, that is, a simplification of triangular meshes. In this paper, we propose a new measure with respect to edges and vertices, which is called an approximate mean curvature and is used as criteria to simplify an original mesh. An edge mean curvature is computed by considering its neighboring edges, and a vertex mean curvature is defined as an average of its incident edges' mean curvatures. And we apply the proposed measure to simplify the models such as a bunny, dragon and teeth. As a result, we can see that the mean curvatures can be used as good criteria for providing much better approximation of models.

Leading edge extension(LEX) in a highly swept shape applied to a delta wing features the modern air-fighters. The LEX vortices generated upon the upper surface of the wing at high angle of attack enhance the lift force of the delta wing by way of increased negative suction pressure over the surfaces. The present 3-D stereo PIV includes the Identification of 2-D cross-correlation equation, stereo matching of 2-D velocity vectors of two cameras, accurate calculation of 3-D velocity vectors by homogeneous coordinate system, removal of error vectors by a statistical method followed by a continuity equation criterion and so on. A delta wing model with or without LEX was immersed in a circulating water channel. Two high-resolution, high-speed digital cameras$(1280pixel\times1024pixel)$ were used to allow the time-resolved animation work. The present dynamic stereo PIV represents the complicated vortex behavior, especially, in terms of time-dependent characteristics of the vortices at given measuring sections. Quantities such as three velocity vector components, vorticity and other flow information can be easily visualized via the 3D time-resolved post-processing to make the easy understanding of the LEX effect or vortex emerging and collapse which are important phenomena occurring in the field of delta wing aerodynamics.

This paper proposes a new mesh simplification algorithm using differential error metric. Many simplification algorithms make use of a distance error metric, but it is hard to measure an accurate geometric error for the high-curvature region even though it has a small distance error measured in distance error metric. This paper proposes a new differential error metric that results in unifying a distance metric and its first and second order differentials, which become tangent vector and curvature metric. Since discrete surfaces may be considered as piecewise linear approximation of unknown smooth surfaces, theses differentials can be estimated and we can construct new concept of differential error metric for discrete surfaces with them. For our simplification algorithm based on iterative edge collapses, this differential error metric can assign the new vertex position maintaining the geometry of an original appearance. In this paper, we clearly show that our simplified results have better quality and smaller geometry error than others.
