  • A numerical prediction method has been proposed to predict non-linear free surface oscillation in a three-dimensional container. The fluid motions are numerically predicted with Navier-Stokes equations discretized in a Lagrangian scheme with sufficient numerical accuracy. The profile of a free surface is precisely represented with three-dimensional body-fitted coordinates (BFC), which are regenerated in each computational step on the basis of the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) formulation. In order to confirm the reliability of the computational method, it was firstly applied to three-dimensional flows within complicated-shaped rigid boundaries, such as curved pipes and ducts. Than it was applied to benchmark computations related to free surface oscillations. Following these basic verifications, non-linear sloshings in a cylindrical tank and transitions from sloshing to swirling motions were numerically predicted. Throughout these computations, the applicability of the present computational method has been confirmed and some of the predicted free surface motions were visualized as sequential images and animations to understand their dynamic futures.

  • The new square electro-magnetic chuck, which can be used for the clamping devices on a grinding machine, is developed in this study to improve the convenience of grinding works. The various kinds of structures are recommended to find the most adequate magnetic characteristics through the analytical approach using finite element methods. The analyzed results are retrofitted to solve the drawbacks of previous models step by step by considering the magnetic fields, strength and distribution of drag force, and thermal deformations of chuck such as high parallelism and flatness. Finally the best recommended models is designed to satisfy the KS specifications required fur the commercial magnetic chuck. The prototype chuck with this dimensions and structures is manufactured. For this final model, the experimental verifications are investigated whether the KS specifications are satisfied.

  • A PIV(Particle Imaging Velocimetry) diagnostic technique for the evaluation of the flow characteristics in refrigerator is introduced. Smoke particles of which density is small enough to follow up the air flow are used for visualization of the air flows in the refrigerators. A rectangular room model is tested for the verifications of the dignostic technique. By evaluating the turbulent intensity and the deviation value of the turbulent intensity distribution that were obtained from PIV results, an optimal ventilating condition is suggested. The constructed technique is used for the diagnostics on the flow of an actual refrigerator. It has experimentally proved that the present technique is able to evaluate the ventilation conditions of refrigerators.

  • The Permanent Magnet Brushless DC (PMBLDC) motors have been used in modern industrial factories, hazardous chemical process, modern medical devices, and especially in advanced military devices such as army drones. By considering their sensitive role in the industrial and military applications, their optimal design has a real concern. This paper proposes a method for optimal eco-design of a PMBLDC motor using improved tabu search optimization. The objective function is based on losses, volume and cost. Electrical and mechanical requirements and other limitations are combined into constraints of problem. Also, finite element analysis has been used for verifications in magnetic mode.

  • A three-dimensional constitutive modeling for reinforced concrete is presented for finite element nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete. The targets of interest to the authors are columns confined by lateral steel hoops, RC thin shells subjected to combined in-plane and out-of-plane actions and massive structures of three-dimensional (3D) extent in shear. The elasto-plastic and continuum fracture law is applied to pre-cracked solid concrete. For post cracking formulation, fixed multi-directional smeared crack model is adopted for RC domains of 3D geometry subjected to monotonic and reversed cyclic actions. The authors propose a new scheme of decomposing stress strain fields into sub-planes on which 2D constitutive laws can be applied. The proposed model for 3D reinforced concrete is experimentally verified in both member and structural levels under cyclic actions.

  • The computations of an ultra-high degree associated Legendre functions and its first derivative up to degree and order of 10800 are reported. Not only the magnitude of orders for the ultra-high degree calculation is presented but the numerical stability and accuracy of the computed values are described in detail. The accuracy on the order of $10^{-25}\;and\;10^{-15}$ was obtained for the values of Legendre function and the first derivatives of Legendre functions, respectively. The computable highest degree and order of Legendre function in terms of latitudes and the linear relationship between the magnitude of the function with respect to degrees and orders is found. It is expected that the computed Legendre functions contribute in many geodetic and geophysical applications for simulations as well as theoretical verifications.

  • Many computer programs have been developed for meteorological and air quality simulation. Many of the model the U.S. EPA recommends are available as. part of UNAMAP. HIWAY-II can be used to estimate the concentrations of nonreactive pollutants from highway traffic. As a result, It was found that distribution of concentration wind speed was 1 m/s to 5 m/s were diminished to about 1/2. In our study, we measured air pollutants(CO), temperature and humidity to evaluate. Meteorological parameter were influenced by not only wind direction but also vertical.

  • This paper proposes an alternative personal identification algorithm using finger crease pattern which is assumed to overcome the disadvantages of the existing biometrics system. We used a CED camera with LED lighting as the input device. The original images were treated by employing a lowpass and highpass Jilter to get the reinforced finger boundaries and finger crease patterns, thereby threshold is applied. We tracked the boundaries of the finger and extracted the Images of the index, middle, and ring finger, thereafter applied noise reduction operation. In the last step, we performed the verifications of a person by matching one dimensional profiles of finger crease patterns. This algorithm shows the possibility of an alternative biometrics identification system to the current ones. Lastly, the comparative evaluation on our system and the other algorithm is presented.

  • Burrs formed during face milling operations are very hard to characterize because there are many parameters that affect the cutting process. Many researchers have tried to predict burr characteristics including burr size and shapes with various experimental conditions such as cutting speed, feed rate, in-plane exit angle, number of inserts, etc., but it still remains as a challenging problem for the complex combined effects between the parameters. In this paper, the Taguchi method, which is a systematic optimization application in design and analysis of experiments, is introduced to acquire optimum cutting parameters for burr minimization in face milling. Also, analysis of variance (AVOVA) is employed to study the performance characteristics in more detail. Experimental verifications are provided to show the effectiveness of this approach.
