Abstract A sampling moire camera was developed by authors to measure the displacement of large structures effectively. The sampling moire camera was applied to small vibration measurement of a plant equipment in this paper. An algorithm of a sampling moire method is assembled into the sampling moire camera. It is very convenient to use the sampling moire camera in a practical field outdoors because any calibration is not necessary. This camera can measure the 2-D displacement in real-time. An experiment to measure small vibration of a moving conveyor belt to carry materials in a steel plant was performed. A frequency analysis… More >

Abstract This presentation will summarize the author’s studies on dynamic fracture based on photomechanics. During the early stage of our studies, dynamic photoelasticity was used to record dynamic crack propagation/arrest and crack branching in Homalite-100 fracture specimens. Dynamic crack arrest was found to be a constant but significantly higher than the ring down static arrest stress intensity factor which varies with the crack initiation condition. A crack branching criterion based on a critical stress intensity factor was also established. Moiré interferometry together with high-speed photography and the generation phase of dynamic finite element analysis were then used to determine the dynamic… More >

Abstract Material properties and geometrical shape of rolled products are two of the most important problems in steel product, which are affected by the thermal distribution and deformation behavior during rolling. Analysis of the behavior of medium plate during multi-pass rolling is significant for guiding the production.

Recently years, the finite element method (FEM) has been widely used for analyzing the plate rolling processes, which has become an irreplaceable theory method. Rolling processes is a kind of continuous metal forming technology. Through multi-pass rolling processes, the shape and microstructure of plate could be obtained. However, in mostly works, the researchers focused… More >

Abstract Feature selection, often used as a pre-processing step to machine learning, is designed to reduce dimensionality, eliminate irrelevant data and improve accuracy. Iris Basis is our first attempt to reduce the dimensionality of the problem while focusing only on parts of the scene that effectively identify the individual. Independent Component Analysis (ICA) is to extract iris feature to recognize iris pattern. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a dimension-reduction tool that can be used to reduce a large set of variables to a small set that still contains most of the information in the large set. Image quality is very important… More >

Abstract Data Mining (DM) techniques are well-known for providing flexible and efficient analytical tools for data processing. In this paper, we propose intelligent data control system design and specifications as an example of DM application in marketing data processing. E-Marketing businesses are using Data Mining to identify patterns in customers' buying behavior; identify profitable customer segments; increase marketing return rates; prevent loss of valuable customers; estimate credit risk; identify fraudulent activity and much more.

Abstract The interest in finite element method (FEM) concerning biomechanics has been increasing, in particular, to analyze the mechanical behavior of the human ear. In this work, a finite element model of the middle ear was made. A dynamic study based on a structural response to harmonic vibrations, for different sound pressure levels, applied on the eardrum, is presented using the ABAQUS program. The model includes different ligaments and muscle tendons with elastic and hyperelastic behavior of these supportive structure. The non-linear behavior of the ligaments and muscle tendons was considered, being the connection between ossicles done by contact formulation. Harmonic… More >

Abstract In this work, dynamic analysis of a compliant shaft while it rotates about its axis has been carried out using Finite Element Method. This system is linear time invariant gyroscopic system. The governing equations are formulated for the shaft supported at both ends. Both ends of the shaft are supported to allow rotations by constraining all degrees of freedom, except axial rotations. The shaft is modeled using beam elements, with six degrees of freedom at the nodes. The effect of rotation on displacements is analysed by assessing the total kinetic energy and potential energy. In this work dynamic response of… More >

Abstract A BEM formulation for the numerical stress analysis of 3D generally anisotropic elastic solids is presented in this paper. It is based on closed-form algebraic expressions of the fundamental solutions derived by Ting and Lee [7] and Lee [8] which are defined in terms of Stroh's eigenvalues, and has never been implemented previously in the literature. The veracity of the formulation and implementation is demonstrated by two engineering examples. More >

Abstract This paper presents a semi-active control of vehicle suspension system with a hybrid damper. This damper consists of a conventional oil damper and magnetorheological fluidic (MRF) accumulator, which comprises gas accumulator and MRF device. The shaft of MRF device, fitted to in series the side of gas accumulator, is connected with a floating piston that divided into gas chamber and oil chamber. During the oil damper piston motion, the floating piston also behaves in the same direction of piston and the pressure of gas chamber varies. MRF accumulator will provides a force to the damper through retarding the movement of… More >

Abstract Mechanical tests for measurement of hardness are fundamental to evaluate some metallic materials properties, like wear resistance, ductility and flow tension. The manual process for hardness measurement is very interpretive and subjective, as the reading of needed values (diameters or diagonals) of the indenter on the material in test depends directly on operator's viewpoint (parallax effect), appropriate calibration of test machine and operator's experience. Additionally, one must notice that operator's fatigue or tiredness, due to a high number of tests done, is highly prone to measurement errors. \newline In this context, the main goals of this work were the development… More >
