Time reversal (TR) of body waves in fluids and isotropic solids has been used in many applications including ultrasonic NDE. However, the study of the TR method for anisotropic materials is not well established. In this paper, the full reconstruction of the input signal is investigated for anisotropic media using an analytical formulation, called a modular Gaussian beam (MGB) model. The time reversal operation of this model in the frequency domain is done by taking the complex conjugate of the Gaussian amplitude and phase received at the TR mirror position. A narrowband reference signal having a particular frequency and number of cycles is then multiplied and the whole signal is inverse Fourier transformed. The original input signal is seen to be fully restored by the TR process of MGB model and this model can be more generalized to simulate the spatial and temporal focusing effects due to TR process in anisotropic materials.

Many control techniques have been proposed in order to improve the control performance of discrete-time domain control system. In the position control system using a DC servo motor as control system, the response-characteristic of system is controlled by the I-PD controller. In the I-PD longer if gains of I-PD controller are unsuitable. In this paper, therefore, a expanded I-PD control system is constructed by inserting a pre-compensator at out terminal of I-PD controller. It is implemented by neural network with two hidden layers. From the result of computer simulation in the proposed control algorithm, its usefulness is verified.

In Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) for buried object detection, it is important to identify a buried target because removal of an unwanted target requires as much time and effort as does a wanted target. For a simulation of the target identification, the FDTD (Finite Difference Time Domain) and PML (Perfectly Matched Layer) techniques are widely used. Simulation results vary depending on the type of the buried object and the position of the source. As a result, this paper illustrates the range (time) profile of the five types of facilities including PEC (Perfect Electric Conductor) rectangular box and pipes, and shows the comparison of the range profile of the buried facilities.

This study presents the Big Bang and Big Crunch (BB-BC) optimization algorithm for detection of structure damage in large severity. Local damage is represented by a perturbation in the elemental stiffness parameter of the structural finite element model. A nonlinear objective function is established by minimizing the discrepancies between the measured and calculated acceleration responses (AR) of the structure. The BB-BC algorithm is utilized to solve the objective function, which can localize the damage position and obtain the severity of the damage efficiently. Numerical simulations have been conducted to identify both single and multiple structural damages for beam, plate and European Space Agency Structures. The present approach gives accurate identification results with artificial measurement noise.

Dynamic response characteristics of a beam undergoing impulsive force are investigated using the wavelet transform method in this study. When an impulse is applied to an arbitrary position of a beam, it will generate a structural deformation wave. The characteristics of the wave are changing in the domain of time and space. The maximum amplitude of each natural frequency mode and the time to reach the maximum amplitude are obtained in this study. The effects of the location of impulse on the variations of the dynamic characteristics is also investigated.

In this paper, we present the result of feature points recognition and classification of radial pulse by the shape of pulse wave. And we analyze radial pulse in frequency domain. The recognition algorithm use the method which runs in parallel with both the data of ECG and differential pulse simultaneously to recognize the feature points. Also fie specified 3-time elements of pulse wave as main parameters for diagnosis and measured them by execution of algorithm, then we classify the shape of radial pulse by existence and position of feature points. lastly we execute frequency analysis on the feature points and get the power spectrum of radial pulse.

The hypersonic flow on the stagnation streamline of a blunt body is analyzed with quasi one-dimensional (1-D) Navier-Stokes equations approximated by adopting the local similarity to the two-dimensional (2-D)/axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations. The governing equations are solved using the implicit finite volume method. The computational domain is confined from the stagnation point to the shock wave, and the shock fitting method is used to find the shock position. We propose a boundary condition at the shock, which employs the shock wave angle in the vicinity of the stagnation streamline using the shock shape correlation. As a result of numerical computation conducted for the hypersonic flow over a sphere, the proposed boundary condition is shown to improve the accuracy of the prediction of the shock standoff distance. The quasi 1-D Navier-Stokes code is efficient in computing time and is reliable for the flow analysis along the stagnation streamline and the prediction of heat flux at the stagnation point in the hypersonic blunt body flow.

Many control techniques have been proposed in order to improve the control performance of the discrete-time domain control system. In the position control system, the output of a controller is generally used as the input of a plant but the undesired noise is include in the output of a controller. In this paper, the neuro-network 2-DOF PID Controller is designed by a neural network and the gains of this controller are adjusted automatically by the back-propagation algorithm of the neural network when the response characteristic of system is changed under a condition.

A cylindrical object buried in the lossy half space is reconstructed from the measured scattered fields above the lossy half space. The position, the size and the medium parameters i.e. relative dielectric constants and conductivity of the buried object as well as the medium parameters of the background lossy half space are obtained from the scattered fields by using the iterative inversion method and the optimization hybrid algorithm combining the genetic algorithm and the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm. Illposedness of the inversion due to the measurement errors in the scattered fields are regularized by filtering out the evanescent modes in the spatial frequency spectrum domain.

The aim of this study is to investigate the change of bending strength and fatigue strength in the unpoled and poled Pb(Zr, Ti)O3 ferroelectrics of tetragonal morphotropic phase boundary (MPM) and rhombohedral com-position in terms of internal stress which is measured by XRD method. Before poling treatment the highest bending strength was found in rhombohedral composition. After poling treatment the bending strength decreas-ed in all compositions but it decreased most remarkably in tetragonal composition. The most prominent de-crease of bending strength after poling treatment in tetragonal was attributed to the occurrence of microcracks due to highanisotropic internal stress around grain boundary which was induced of bending strength after poling in MPB and rhombohedral composition was not due to the occurrence of microcracks but to the increase in tensile internal stress perpendicular to the direction of crack propagation by domain alignment. Fatigue strength was higher before poling treatment than after poling treatment for various compositions.
