  • Laser Powder Deposition (LPD) is a technology capable of modifying a metallic structure by adding the appropriate material to perform a desired function. LPD offers a unique fabrication technique that allows the use of soft (tough) materials as base structures. Through LPD a hard material can be applied to the base material with little thermal input (minimal dilution and heat-affected-zone {HAZ}), thus providing the function of a heat treatment or other surface modifications. These surface modifications have been evaluated through standard wear testing (ASTM G-65), surface hardness (Rc), micro-hardness (vickers), and optical microscopy.

  • Epithermal deposits are an important class of hydrothermal deposits, that have recently seen an surge of exploration and research, principally as significant resources of gold and silver. Epithermal deposits form at shallow depths (surface to 1-2km) and temperatures less than 30$0^{\circ}C$ (Hayba et al., 1985), and encompass a variety of low-sulfidation (near-neutral pH, reduced fluid; LS) and high-sulfidation (acidic and oxidized fluid; HS) deposits (Sillitoe, 1993; White and Hedenquist, 1995).

  • This paper presents a lateral control system for the autonomous navigation vehicle that was developed and tested by Robotics Centre of Ecole des Mines do Paris in France. A robust lane detection algorithm was developed for detecting different types of lane marker in the images taken by a CCD camera mounted on the vehicle. $^{RT}Maps$ that is a software framework far developing vision and data fusion applications, especially in a car was used for implementing lane detection and lateral control. The lateral control has been tested on the urban road in Paris and the demonstration has been shown to the public during IEEE Intelligent Vehicle Symposium 2002. Over 100 people experienced the automatic lateral control. The demo vehicle could run at a speed of 130km1h in the straight road and 50km/h in high curvature road stably.

  • The roll- and pitch-induced eddy currents create a magnetic field that contributes to the total magnetic signature of naval vessels. The magnetic signature is of concern, as it exposes the ship to the threat of modern influence mines. It is estimated that the eddy current is the second most important source contributing to a ship's underwater magnetic field following the ferromagnetic effect. In the present paper, the finite element (FE) method is used to predict the eddy current signature of a real ship. The FE model is validated using the measurements of the Canadian research vessel CFAV QUEST at the Earth's Field Simulator (EFS) in Schirnau, Germany. Modeling and validation of the eddy current magnetic signature for a real ship represents a novelty in the field. It is shown that the characteristics of this signature depend on frequency. Based on these results, a ship's degaussing system could be improved to cancel both the ferromagnetic and the eddy current contribution to the magnetic signature simultaneously, reducing the susceptibility to sea mines.

  • The common prospect in diminishing mine-blast vibration is decreasing vibration with increasing distance. This paper indicates that, contrary to the general expectancy, vibration waves change their forms when they are travelling through the low velocity layer like coal and so-called guided waves moving the vibration waves to longer distances without decreasing their amplitudes. The reason for this unexpected vibration increase is the formation of guided waves in the coal bed which has low density and low seismic velocity with respect to the neighboring layers. The amplitudes of these guided waves, that are capable of traveling long distances depending on the seam thickness, are several times higher than that of the usual vibration waves. This phenomenon can many complaints from the residential areas very far away from the blasting sites. Thus, this unexpected behavior of the coal beds in the surface coal mines should also be considered in vibration minimization studies. This study developed a model to predict the effects of guided waves on the propagation ways of blast-induced vibrations. Therefore, vibration mitigation studies considering the nearby buildings can be focused on these target places.

  • Genetic Algorithms (GAs) have found the best design for reinforced concrete frames. The design of the optimum beam sections by GAs has been unified. The process of the optimum-design sections has satisfied axial, flexural, shear and torsion necessities based on the designing code. The frames' function has contained the function of both concrete and reinforced steel besides the function of the frames' formwork. The results have revealed that limiting the dimension of frame-beam with the dimension of frame-column have increased the optimum function of the structure, thereby reducing the reanalysis requirement for checking the optimum-designed structures through GAs.

  • Let $p_1$ and $p_2$ be two distinct odd primes with gcd($p_1-1$, $p_2-1$) = 6. In this paper, we compute the linear complexity of the first class two-prime Whiteman's generalized cyclotomic sequence (WGCS-I) of order d = 6. Our results show that their linear complexity is quite good. So, the sequence can be used in many domains such as cryptography and coding theory. This article enrich a method to construct several classes of cyclic codes over GF(q) with length $n=p_1p_2$ using the two-prime WGCS-I of order 6. We also obtain the lower bounds on the minimum distance of these cyclic codes.

  • This study is concerned with a numerical analysis based on the finite element method to describe the effect of midplane delamination in smart laminated composite plate structures. A new finite element model for centrally located delamination and healthy section was developed and coded in Matlab. The transient analysis of delaminated composite plate with integrated Active Fiber Composite (AFC) was investigated in the present article. The formulation of the governing equation was based on the minimum total potential energy approach. The Newmark time integration technique was employed to solve the differential equations. A parametric study on the effects of boundary conditions and AFC patch location, in presence of delamination on the laminated plate were studied.

  • There are various problems caused by environmental pollution around the abandoned mines. In addition, they are exposed to the risk of safety accidents due to sinkholes caused by ground subsidence. Therefore, the ground is stabilized through the filling and construction of abandoned mines using industrial by-products. However, in the case of Backfill Material, secondary pollution caused by acidic drainage and leachate is not suppressed. To solve this problem, the liner and cover material is first installed. Therefore, in this study, the watertightness of the liner and cover material was improved by mixing crystalline admixtures by content.
