Applications of ultrasonic tomography to concrete structures have been reported for many years. However, practical and effective application of this tool for nondestructive assessment of internal concrete condition is hampered by time consuming transducer coupling that limits the amount of ultrasonic data that can be collected. This research aims to deploy recent developments in air-coupled ultrasonic measurements of solids, described in Part 1 of this paper set, to concrete in order to image internal inclusions. Ultrasonic signals are collected from concrete samples using a fully air-coupled (contactless) test configuration. These air coupled data are compared to those collected using partial semi-contact and full-contact test configurations. Two samples are considered: a 150 mm diameter cylinder with an internal circular void and a prism with $300mm{\times}300mm$ square cross-section that contains internal damaged regions and embedded reinforcement. The heterogeneous nature of concrete material structure complicates the application and interpretation of ultrasonic measurements and imaging. Volumetric inclusions within the concrete specimens are identified in the constructed velocity tomograms, but wave scattering at internal interfaces of the concrete disrupts the images. This disruption reduces defect detection accuracy as compared with tomograms built up of data collected from homogeneous solid samples (PVC) that are described in Part 1 of this paper set. Semi-contact measurements provide some improvement in accuracy through higher signal-to-noise ratio while still allowing for reasonably rapid data collection.

본 논문은 압축된 비디오에 대한 적응적 오류 은닉 기법을 제안한다. 압축 과정에서 중복성이 제거되므로, 무선 채널이나 인터넷과 같이 오류가 발생하기 쉬운 네트워크에서 비디오 전송시 압축된 비디오 데이터는 오류에 대해 민감하다. 오류의 은닉은 손상된 비트열에서 비디오 데이터를 재생하는 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 계층화된 부호화 방법이 오류은닉에 매우 유용함을 입증했다. 실험 결과에서 영상의 어떤 부분은 기본계층의 정보를 사용하면 더 잘 은닉이 되고, 다른 부분은 이전 프레임 정보를 사용함으로써 좀 더 은닉이 잘 된다는 것을 보였다. 또한 움직임 벡터와 움직임 정도를 기본으로 하는 더욱 효과적이고 적응적인 기술을 개발하였다. 본 논문에서는 계층화된 부호화에 H.263.v2를 사용했는데, 더 나아가 DCT를 기본으로 하는 모든 비디오 코텍에 응용할 수 있다.

An aircraft made an emergency landing through the loss of capability controlling steering. A torsion link which is a part of steering apparatus has been adrift from the steering system and the bolt connected to the steering link has fractured. At the same time, the FLIR(Forward Looking Infrared Radar) mounted in front of the steering link has been also damaged. In the early of this investigation, we considered the failure of the FLIR had occurred first, that FLIR hit the steering link and finally the bolt fractured. The fractured section of the bolt has shown a beach mark and a dimple mark as well. The outside of the bolt has shown a large deformation by a heavy load. As a result, we have found out what the cause of the heavy load and the fractures for bolt, link and FLIR have occurred in what order.

The thangka image inpainting method based on wavelet transform is not ideal for contour curves when the high frequency information is repaired. In order to solve the problem, a new image inpainting algorithm is proposed based on edge structural constraints and wavelet transform coefficients. Firstly, a damaged thangka image is decomposed into low frequency subgraphs and high frequency subgraphs with different resolutions using wavelet transform. Then, the improved fast marching method is used to repair the low frequency subgraphs which represent structural information of the image. At the same time, for the high frequency subgraphs which represent textural information of the image, the extracted and repaired edge contour information is used to constrain structure inpainting in the proposed algorithm. Finally, the texture part is repaired using texture synthesis based on the wavelet coefficient characteristic of each subgraph. In this paper, the improved method is compared with the existing three methods. It is found that the improved method is superior to them in inpainting accuracy, especially in the case of contour curve. The experimental results show that the hierarchical method combined with structural constraints has a good effect on the edge damage of thangka images.

When a light is projected upon a material, part of its radiation energy is absorbed and the rest is reflected or transmitted according to the nature of the material. The molecules of the substance absorbing a light obtains the radiation energy to the wavelength of the light to make photochemical degradation by ultraviolet ray or thermal reactions like physical damage by infrared ray. The degree of damage by radiation energy varies to the substances of materials, the spectral power distribution of the light source and the duration of irradiation. Because the damage brings about a devaluation of material and once damaged, it is irretrievable, it is necessary to minimize the damage and conserve the native quality of a material by a protective lighting system. A measuring system was set up to measure the temperature rise of each sample by infrared radiation from light sources. And the temperature rise and temperature distribution by various infrared lamps were measured with varying time.

Damage detection algorithms based on a one-dimensional beam model can detect damage within a beam span caused by flexure only but cannot detect damage at a joint with prescribed boundary conditions or at the middle part of a beam section where the neutral axis is located. Considering the damage at a welded joint of beam elements in steel structures and modeling the damage with twodimensional plane elements, this study presents a new approach to detecting damage in the depth direction of the joint and beam section. Three damage scenarios at the upper, middle, and lower parts of a welded joint of a rectangular symmetric section are investigated. The damage is detected by evaluating the difference in the receptance magnitude between the undamaged and damaged states. This study also investigates the effect of measurement locations and noise on the capability of the method in detecting damage. The numerical results show the validity of the proposed method in detecting damage at the beam's welded joint.

Recently, in optical storage device technical trends, the size of optical drive is slimmer to adopt notebook computer and the power of actuator is higher to achieve the high transfer rate. However, these trends of optical disc drives tend to increase the temperature of the actuator part, it causes some problems on the performance of optical parts - the resonance frequency of the actuator is down to lower band and the objective lens, coil and magnet are easily damaged. In this study, to overcome these thermal problems, the numerical simulations of heat transfer were performed. As the result of simulations, the thermal characteristic of the hybrid actuator is better than the previous design. And, it shows the good dynamic performance in experiment.

A novel process is newly developed for building RP(Rapid Prototyping) parts using a sheet lamination technique. The build process of existing sheet lamination type RP machines consists of the following steps : feeding, lamination and cutting. In this process, the laminated part of an object is often scratched by a cutter or damaged by a laser beam due to the cutting operation preceded by lamination, In addition, decubing of the unused portion from the laminated block is difficult. In the new process, cutting operation is performed before lamination. The cutting operation takes place while a paper sheet is firmly attached on the plate using electrostatic force. Then liquid glue is applied to the calculated region of the given contour for lamination. The process aims to manufacture a $2k RP machine, what we call the Freeform Mater I, that can use A4 or latter-size used papers. A prototype machine that demonstrates the design concept is built and further research issues are discussed.

The early damage detection of large structures is very important to prevent the disaster due to its global failure. In this paper, a damage detection method of the beam-analogy structure based on the wavelet transformation of mode shape is presented. This can effectively detect the singularity of mode shape caused to the inconsistency of bending moment and shear force at the damaged part using the discrete wavelet and its inverse transforms. To investigate the validity and the applicability of the presented damage detection method, numerical simulation and experiment are carried out for the idealized beam and the real ship structures.

This paper traces the trajectory of a variety of complicated economic and political developments between China and India - the world's most ancient civilizations connected by rich history. These recent developments, which are heavily acrimonious and include military clashes involving loss of lives, have greatly damaged bilateral relations. The paper examines the reasons behind the bilateral relations dipping to new lows. Aside from specific bilateral disputes like outstanding border problems, China-India relations have been affected by global and regional developments. The paper identifies rising tensions between the U.S. and China, the evolution of the Belt and Road Initiative, and the growth of the Indo-Pacific construct, as the reasons that have expanded distance and mistrust between the two countries. Both China and India are now part of country coalitions aiming to marginalize each other's strategic influences. The paper argues that such efforts by them are going to impact countries in their neighbourhood - such as in Central Asia - by forcing them to make complex choices in the areas of trade engagement and technological development.
