Axisymmetric dynamic response of a penny-shaped crack to a pair of transient concentrated forces

The three-dimensional axisymmetric elastodynamic response of a penny-shaped crack embedded in an infinite elastic solid subjected to a pair of transient concentrated forces is investigated. The forces are applied on the symmetry axis perpendicular and symmetric to the crack surfaces, including the special case when the forces act precisely on the crack surfaces. A time-domain boundary integral equation method is applied for computing the crack-opening displacement and subsequently the time dependence of the dynamic stress intensity factors. Numerical calculations are carried out for various geometry parameters and the results are discussed. It is found that the location of the applied concentrated forces inducing the highest dynamic stress intensity factors differs from that producing the highest static values.     

Reverse reachability analysis: A new technique for deadlock detection on communicating finite state machines

The communicating finite state machines can exchange messages over bounded FIFO channels. In this paper, a new technique, called reverse reachability analysis, is proposed to detect deadlocks on the communication between the communicating finite state machines. The technique is based on finding reverse reachable paths starting from possible deadlock states. If a reverse reachable path can reach the initial global state, then deadlock occurs. Otherwise the communication is deadlock-free. The effectiveness of the technique has been verified by some real protocols such as a specification of X.25 call establishment/clear protocol and Bartlet's alternating bit protocol.     

Multimedia Signal Processors: An Architectural Platform with Algorithmic Compilation

Novel algorithmic features of multimedia applications and advances in VLSI technologies are driving forces behind the new multimedia signal processors. We propose an architecture platform which could provide high performance and flexibility, and would require less external I/O and memory access. It is comprised of array processors to be used as the hardware accelerator and RISC cores to be used as the basis of the programmable processor. It is a hierarchical and scalable architecture style which facilitates the hardware-software codesign of multimedia signal processing circuits and systems. While some control-intensive functions can be implemented using programmable CPUs, other computation-intensive functions can rely on hardware accelerators.To compile multimedia algorithms, we also present an operation placement and scheduling scheme suitable for the proposed architectural platform. Our scheme addresses data reusability and exploits local communication in order to avoid the memory/communication bandwidth bottleneck, which leads to faster program execution. Our method shows a promising performance: a linear speed-up of 16 times can be achieved for the block-matching motion estimation algorithm and the true motion tracking algorithm, which have formed many multimedia applications (e.g., MPEG-2 and MPEG-4).

A study on the transient characteristics of a self-regulating Joule-Thomson cryocooler

An experimental and numerical study of transient characteristics for the self-regulating Joule-Thomson (J-T) cryocooler is developed in the present work. The modelling of the bellows control mechanism and the simulation of the cooler system are developed. It is proved by experiment that the most important transient behaviours can be accurately predicted by the present numerical simulation. In order to rectify the instability problem of the bellows controlled J-T cooler, this study also proposes a revised design to improve temperature stability. The revised dual-orifice J-T cooler can effectively reduce the phenomena of unstable temperature and mass flow rate, but sacrifices the expected gas consumption rise by approximately 5 percent. Through experimental evaluation, it becomes obvious that this revised type cooler would be a better design.
