This study presents thickness optimization for the pressure vessel domes subject to internal pressure and axial force simultaneously. The considered typical pressure vessel domes are ellipsoidal and tori-spherical domes with skirt and nozzle part. These pressure vessel domes under loading have higher stress concentration on geometric discontinuity parts. Therefore, thickness optimization of axi-symmetric pressure vessel domes is essentially concerned on minimizing this stress concentration. The objective function is minimization of weight of pressure vessel dome. The design variable is thickness of dome and cylinder. Considered constraint is Von Mises equivalent stress. In the optimization procedure, ANSYS code is used. The equivalent and hoop stress of original shape domes are compared with those of optimal shape domes. And optimal thicknesses for pressure vessel domes are presented.

We propose a new robust and accurate method for the numerical solution of medical image segmentation. The modified Allen-Cahn equation is used to model the boundaries of the image regions. Its numerical algorithm is based on operator splitting techniques. In the first step of the splitting scheme, we implicitly solve the heat equation with the variable diffusive coefficient and a source term. Then, in the second step, using a closed-form solution for the nonlinear equation, we get an analytic solution. We overcome the time step constraint associated with most numerical implementations of geometric active contours. We demonstrate performance of the proposed image segmentation algorithm on several artificial as well as real image examples.

The form-joining process (or clinching) uses a set of die and punch to impose the plastic deformation-induced geometric constraint on a sheet metal pair, But their joining strength ranges 50-70 percent of that of the resistance spot welding. In this paper, a new form-joining process with the aid of adhesive is proposed in which an epoxy adhesive is applied to a sheet metal pair, to improve joining strength. The strength and mechanical properties of the new process are discussed and compared for other joining processes.

In this paper, we describe a method for the mobile robot using images of a moving object. This method combines the observed position from dead-reckoning sensors and the estimated position from the images captured by a fixed camera to localize a mobile robot. Using the a priori known path of a moving object in the world coordinates and a perspective camera model, we derive the geometric constraint equations which represent the relation between image frame coordinates for a moving object and the estimated robot`s position. Since the equations are based on the estimated position, the measurement error may exist all the time. The proposed method utilizes the error between the observed and estimated image coordinates to localize the mobile robot. The Kalman filter scheme is applied to this method. Effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by the simulation.

Ocular region recently emerged as a new biometric trait for overcoming the limitations of iris recognition performance at the situation that cannot expect high user cooperation, because the acquisition of an ocular image does not require high user cooperation and close capture unlike an iris image. This study proposes a new method for ocular image recognition based on BRISK (binary robust invariant scalable keypoints). It uses the distance ratio of the two nearest neighbors to improve the accuracy of the detection of corresponding keypoint pairs, and it also uses geometric constraint for eliminating incorrect keypoint pairs. Experiments for evaluating the validity the proposed method were performed on MMU public database. The person recognition rate on left and right ocular image datasets showed 91.1% and 90.6% respectively. The performance represents about 5% higher accuracy than the SIFT-based method which has been widely used in a biometric field.

This paper presents a systematic method for the dynamic analysis of flexible mechanical systems containing closed kinematic loops. Kinematics between pairs of contiguous flexible bodies is described with the joint coordinates and the deformation modal coordinates. The cut-joint constraint equations associated with the closed kinematic loops are derived, simply using the geometric conditions. The equations of motions are initially written in terms of the joint and modal coordinates using the velocity transformation technique. Lagrange multipliers associated with the cut-joint constraints for closed-loop systems are then eliminated systematically using the generalized coordinate partitioning method, resulting to a minimal set of equations of motion.

This study is to develop design sensitivity analysis method based on continuum theory for the actual buckling load of vehicle passenger compartment with respect to sizing design variables. For nonlinear structural analysis, both geometric and material nonlinear effects are considered. The total Lagrangian formulation for incremental equilibrium analysis and one-point linear eigenvalue problem for buckling analysis are utilized. Numerical methods are presented to evaluate design sensitivity expressions, using structural analysis results from FEM code. Optical design of vehicle passenger compartment with buckling constraint solved using Gradient projection method.

A pair of bodies rolling on each other is an interesting example of nonholonomic systems in control theory. There is a geometric condition equivalent to the rolling constraint which enables us to generalize the rolling motions for any two-dimensional Riemannian manifolds. This system has a five-dimensional phase space. In order to study the controllability of the rolling surfaces, we lift the system to a six-dimensional space and show that the lifted system is controllable unless the two surfaces have isometric universal covering spaces. In the non-controllable case there are some three-dimensional orbits each of which corresponds to an isometry of the universal covering spaces.

This paper focuses on post-buckling analysis of Timoshenko beams with various boundary conditions subjected to a non-uniform thermal loading by using the total Lagrangian Timoshenko beam element approximation. Six types of support conditions for the beams are considered. The considered highly non-linear problem is solved by using incremental displacement-based finite element method in conjunction with Newton-Raphson iteration method. As far as the authors know, there is no study on the post-buckling analysis of Timoshenko beams under uniform and non-uniform thermal loading considering full geometric non-linearity investigated by using finite element method. The convergence studies are made and the obtained results are compared with the published results. In the study, the relationships between deflections, end rotational angles, end constraint forces, thermal buckling configuration, stress distributions through the thickness of the beams and temperature rising are illustrated in detail in post-buckling case.

본 논문에서는 영상기반 모델링에서 3차원의 기하학적 제약을 이용한 모델링을 다루고 있다. 기존에 이러한 연구가 많이 진행되어져 왔으나, 여기에서는 새로운 방법에 의한 모델링을 시도하였다. 이러한 접근방법은 이해하기가 쉽고, 편리하며, 간단한 모델링에 적용이 용이하다. 또한, 영상평면 정보와 3차원의 정보를 가지고 있기 때문에 기존의 3차원 복원 이론과 혼합하여 적용할 수 있다. 영상기반 모델링(IBM, Image Based Modeling)의 핵심은 2차원 영상에서 사라진 깊이 정보를 어떻게 찾는가에 있다. 기존에는 3차원 복원을 위하여 투영된 영상평면의 점을 이용하거나, 이미지 상에서의 소실점을 찾거나, 2차원의 벡터와 3차원의 공간 좌표의 특정한 평면에 놓여있는 벡터와의 관계를 이용하여 깊이 정보를 복원하였다. 이러한 접근 방법은 사용자가 선택한 2차원 좌표로부터 3차원 좌표를 구하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 방법과 다르게 3차원 원시 기하모델의 제약을 이용하여 사용자가 3차원 원시 기하모델을 2차원 영상에 투영하고, 그 정보를 이용하여 영상의 3차원 정보를 찾아 나가는 방법을 소개한다. 또한, 선형적인 최적화 기능을 넣어 관사 모델을 구하였다.
