Ultra-lightweight cement composite (ULCC) with a compressive strength of 60 MPa and density of $1,450kg/m^3$ has been developed and used in the steel-concrete-steel (SCS) sandwich structures. This paper investigates the structural performances of SCS sandwich composite beams with ULCC as filled material. Overlapped headed shear studs were used to provide shear and tensile bond between the face plate and the lightweight core. Three-dimensional nonlinear finite element (FE) model was developed for the ultimate strength analysis of such SCS sandwich composite beams. The accuracy of the FE analysis was established by comparing the predicted results with the quasi-static tests on the SCS sandwich beams. The FE model was also applied to the nonlinear analysis on curved SCS sandwich beam and shells and the SCS sandwich beams with J-hook connectors and different concrete core including ULCC, lightweight concrete (LWC) and normal weight concrete (NWC). Validations were also carried out to check the accuracy of the FE analysis on the SCS sandwich beams with J-hook connectors and curved SCS sandwich structure. Finally, recommended FE analysis procedures were given.

Ultra-lightweight cement composite (ULCC) with a compressive strength of 60 MPa and density of $1450kg/m^3$ has been developed and used in the steel-concrete-steel (SCS) sandwich structures. ULCC was adopted as the core material in the SCS sandwich composite beams to reduce the overall structural weight. Headed shear studs working in pairs with overlapped lengths were used to achieve composite action between the core material and steel face plates. Nine quasi-static tests on this type of SCS sandwich composite beams were carried out to evaluate their ultimate strength performances. Different parameters influencing the ultimate strength of the SCS sandwich composite beams were studied and discussed. Design equations were developed to predict the ultimate resistance of the cross section due to pure bending, pure shear and combined action between shear and moment. Effective stiffness of the sandwich composite beam section is also derived to predict the elastic deflection under service load. Finally, the design equations were validated by the test results.

영상인식 분야에서 원형 검출은 가장 많이 사용되는 기술 중의 하나이다. 기존에 제안된 많은 원형 검출방법들은 허프변환에 기초하고 있고, 충분히 강인한 알고리즘을 제공한다. 그러나 허프변환은 해석적 곡선의 각점을 원의 중심 좌표와 반지름으로 대응시키는 과정을 도입함으로써 매우 많은 메모리와 실행시간을 필요로 하고, 또한 가끔씩 부정확한 원을 검출하는 경우가 발생하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 광섬유 연결 종단면 검사에 적합한 최적의 원형 검출방법과 근사화 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 에지 검출에 기초하여 초기 중심좌표와 반지름을 바탕으로 간단화된 K-means알고리즘을 도입함으로써 차 영역의 넓이가 최소가 되도록 하는 방법으로 원을 근사화 한다. 모의실험을 통하여 제안한 방식은 기존의 오픈라이브러리로 제공되는 OpenCV의 허프변환에 비해 원 검출 및 근사화에 있어 약 67% 정도의 성능 개선이 이루어졌고, 또한, 실행 시간에 있어 약 80% 정도 개선됨을 보인다.

The laser welding was performed for the flange joint of two overlapped coaxial circular pipes which serve as the inlet and connector pipes of STS 316L. The laser welding test finally resulted in a good penetration depth of 1.8 to 2.0 mm. On the way to get the good welding quality, two important parameters were found to be optimized. One is the focal positioning which is the offset of the laser beam focus to the exact welding seam line, which is more critical in the inner flange laser welding. When the beam spot size was deviated more than $200\;{\mu}m$ from the seam line, welding of two pipes is failed. The other is a gap size since a certain amount of gap is inevitable due to fabrication tolerance, or artificial allowances for smooth insertion of a pipe. However, it is required to restrict the gap allowance within 0.2mm to avoid undesirable undercut on a welding bead.
