In this paper, a novel approach to estimate cohesive laws for the mode I fracture of the graphene is presented by combining molecular dynamic simulations and an inverse algorithm based on field projection method and finite element method. The determination of crack-tip cohesive laws of the graphene based on continuum mechanics is a non-trivial inverse problem of finding unknown tractions and separations from atomic simulations. The displacements of molecular dynamic simulations in a region far away from the crack tip are transferred to finite element nodes by using moving least square approximation. Inverse analyses for extracting unknown cohesive tractions and separation behind the crack tip can be carried out by using conservation nature of the interaction J- and M-integrals with numerical auxiliary fields which are generated by systematically imposing uniform surface tractions element-by-element along the crack surfaces in finite element models. The preset method can be a very successful approach to extract crack-tip cohesive laws from molecular dynamic simulations as a scale bridging method.

So far, the remote sensing technology has widely been used in a variety of application areas such as military, medical imaging, environment, geology and so forth. The microwave remote sensing uses the wavelengths ranging from around one centimeter up to a few tens of centimeters and is known to be very effective regardless of the weather conditions and the day/night time as compared with the reflective InfraRed (IR) remote sensing or the thermal IR remote sensing. There are three generic modes of synthetic aperture radar imaging systems depending on its application, that is, stripmap mode, spotlight mode, or inverse mode. In this article we focus on the issue of imaging of flying aircrafts for the inverse mode of a ground - based, fixed radar with moving objects. The imaging of flying aircrafts is considered to be an important step for the automatic target recognition systems, and therefore a great deal of efforts have recently been made on the subject. Here we review the three representative methods including the Fourier transform processing, the time - frequency processing, and the reconstruction from the projection. Some relative merits and drawbacks are also discussed.

A robotic spatial augmented reality (RSAR) system combines a robotics technology with a spatial augmented reality system (SAR) where cameras are used to recognize real objects and projectors augment information and user interface directly on the surface of the recognized objects, rather than relying on handheld display devices. Moreover, a robotic module is actively used to discover and utilize the context of users and environments. The control of a RSAR system involves several issues from different technical fields such as classical inverse kinematics of motors where projector-camera pairs are mounted, inverse projection problems to find appropriate internal/external parameters of projectors and cameras, and image warping in graphics pipeline to compensate the kinematic constraints. In this paper, we investigate various control issues related to a RSAR system and propose basic approaches to handle them, specially focused on the prototype RSAR system developed in ETRI.

In this paper, we propose a new affine projection sign algorithm (APSA) to improve the convergence speed of the conventional APSA which has been proposed to enable the affine projection algorithm (APA) to operate robustly in impulsive noise environment. The conventional APSA has two advantages; it operates robustly against impulsive noise and does not need calculation for the inverse matrix. The proposed algorithm also has the conventional algorithm's advantages and furthermore, better convergence speed than the conventional algorithm. In the conventional algorithm, each input signal is normalized by $l_2$-norm of all input signals, but the proposed algorithm uses input signals normalized by their corresponding $l_2$-norm. We carried out a performance comparison of the proposed algorithm with the conventional algorithm using a system identification model. It is shown that the proposed algorithm has the faster convergence speed than the conventional algorithm.

In this paper, we propose a new Modified Filtered-x Affine Projection Sign Algorithm(MFxAPSA) to improve the convergence speed of the conventional MFxAPSA which has been proposed for active control of impulsive noise. Under the impulsive noise environment, the adaptive algorithms based on the second order moment such as the Filtered-x Least Mean Square(FxLMS) show slow convergence speed or diverge because the noise source tends to have infinite variance. The MFxAPSA is the algorithm derived by applying the Affine Projection Sign Algorithm(APSA) to active noise control. The APSA has an advantage that it does not need the calculation for the inverse matrix, so it may be suitable for the active noise control that requires low computational burden. The proposed MFxAPSA also has APSA's advantage and furthermore, better performance than the conventional MFxAPSA. We carried out a performance comparison of the proposed MFxAPSA with the conventional MFxAPSA. It is shown that the proposed MFxAPSA has the faster convergence speed than the conventional MFxAPSA.

Measurements of the initial values lead to an inverse and mathematically unprecisely formulated problem. A precise definition of an inverse problem is possible. It is to state a mathematical model of a physical process with clearly defined initial and exit values for the system behind the process. One can grasp the idea of an inverse problem by considering the tire as a copy of the objects of nature in a room with observations. Interpretation of nature is generally a result of an inverse problem. On one hand, the tire may be represented through the sensory organs and the nervous system as well as the experiences of the developer's existing apparatus of the projection of reality. On the other hand, it may be represented by a physical law or a model that can be confirmed or is to be refuted with the help of suitable measurements. During reconstruction of a measuring signal and the identification of a black box that can be assumed to be linear and causal, the tire becomes a first type Volterra integral equation of the convolution type. But measurements of the initial values are always fuzzy, the errors grow and the system behavior can no longer be forecasted. Thus, we have to deal with a chaotic system. This chaos produces fractals in a natural way. These are self-similar geometric structures. This self-similarity is clearly visible in the design.

A real-time unmeasured dynamic response prediction process for the nuclear power plant pressure pipeline is proposed and its performance is tested in the test-loop system (KAERI). The aim of the process is to predict unmeasurable or unreachable dynamic responses such as acceleration, velocity, and displacement by using a limited amount of directly measured physical responses. It is achieved by combining a well-constructed finite element model and robust inverse force identification algorithm. The pressure pipeline system is described by using the displacement-pressure vibro-acoustic formulation to consider fully filled liquid effect inside the pipeline structure. A robust multiphysics modal projection technique is employed for the real-time sensor synchronized prediction. The inverse force identification method is also derived and employed by using Bathe's time integration method to identify the full-field responses of the target system from the modal domain computation. To validate the performance of the proposed process, an experimental test is extensively performed on the nuclear power plant pressure pipeline test-loop under operation conditions. The results show that the proposed identification process could well estimate the unmeasured acceleration in both frequency and time domain faster than 32,768 samples per sec.

Optical three-dimensional (3D) measurement systems based on digital fringe projection are used in many contactless measurement applications. The system which can measure a dozen micrometers uses a liquid-crystal display (LCD) as the projection unit for generating a digital fringe pattern, because a flexible fringe pattern can be easily made by computer software. According to the gamma nonlinearity of the LCD projection unit, the digital fringe projection error on the object affects the accuracy of 3D object measurement. An improved method of LCD gamma-nonlinearity error reduction is proposed, by using the inverse function of the intensity transfer function to improve the accuracy. The improvement due to the proposed method is shown by measuring the difference in precision between a computer-generated sine wave and a camera-obtained sine wave for a standard semiconductor specimen.

Wigner functions and density matrices are computer simulated for various quantum mechanical states of light. Wigner function and density matrices are evaluated by filtered back projection which includes inverse Radon transform from the distribution function of the photocurrents, which are calculated in the balanced homodyne detection scheme. The density matrix is also directly obtained by using the pattern function from the simulated phase independent photocurrent distribution function. ction.

We present an analytic solution to the projector pose estimation problem for the pinhole projection model in which the source image is a centered rectangle with an unknown aspect ratio. From a single quadrilateral given as a target image, our solution gives the position and orientation of a projector as well as the aspect ratio of a source image. The proposed method decomposes the problem into two pose estimation problems of coupled line projectors aligned at each diagonal of the given quadrilateral and then computes the common solution that satisfies the relevant geometric constraints. The solution is formulated as simple analytic equations. We also provide a determinant of projectability of an arbitrary quadrilateral.
