Generalized spin filtering and an improved derivative-sign binary image method for the extraction of fringe skeletons

Generalized spin filters, including several directional filters such as the directional median filter and the directional binary filter, are proposed for removal of the noise of fringe patterns and the extraction of fringe skeletons with the help of fringe-orientation maps (FOM's). The generalized spin filters can filter off noise on fringe patterns and binary fringe patterns efficiently, without distortion of fringe features. A quadrantal angle filter is developed to filter off the FOM. With these new filters, the derivative-sign binary image (DSBI) method for extraction of fringe skeletons is improved considerably. The improved DSBI method can extract high-density skeletons as well as common density skeletons.

Interaction of catechin with poly(L-proline)

Summary Catechin binds strongly to both poly(vinylpyrrolidone) and poly(L-proline) in dilute aqueous solution, inducing a collapse of the more flexible poly(vinylpyrrolidone) chains, but forming a microgel with the more extended poly(L-proline) chains. Low concentrations of poly(L-proline) inhibit the discoloration of aqueous solutions of catechin, thereby implicating the ortho hydroxyyl groups in the catechol moiety in the binding process. Modeling shows that the likely binding sites on poly(L-proline) arise from two minor local conformations. These minor conformations are less frequent in poly(-hydroxy-L-proline) than in poly(L-proline), which may explain why catechin interacts more strongly with poly(L-proline) than with poly(-hydroxy-L-proline).

Ho:CaF(2) solid-state saturable-absorber Q switch for the 2-µm Tm,Cr:Y(3)Al(5)O(12) laser

The holmium-doped calcium fluoride (Ho:CaF(2)) crystal was shown to be an effective solid-state saturable-absorber Q-switch for a flash-lamp-pumped Tm,Cr:Y(3)Al(5)O(12) laser at 2.017 μm. With a 1-cm-thick Ho(0.5%),Er(5%):CaP(2) saturable absorber and a 6.3% output coupler, a single Q-switched laser pulse of 51 mJ in energy and 60 ns in duration was obtained at a flash-lamp input energy of 85 J. With a 14.6% output coupler, a typical Q-switched laser pulse of 84 mJ and 82 ns was observed.     

Study on the solidification cracking behaviour of high strength aluminum alloy welds: Effects of alloying elements and solidification behaviours

The solidification cracking susceptibility of the 7000 series Al-Zn-Mg high strength aluminum alloy has been studied. The cracking behaviour of the specimens were evaluated by a Tig-a-Ma-Jig Varestraint test process under various augmented strain conditions. It has been experimentally observed that the addition of copper decreased the solidification cracking resistivity of the high strength aluminum alloy weld metal by increasing the total crack length (TCL). The effect of the addition of manganese on the solidification cracking behaviour is found to be beneficial by markedly decreasing the solidification cracking susceptibility as the manganese content increases from 0.3 to 0.7%. This enhancement by manganese is understood to be attributed to the reduction of the mushy zone size during the solidification process. The effects of chromium and zirconium additions are also investigated. The weld metal containing zirconium is less sensitive to the solidification cracking than the weld metal containing chromium. In addition, the solidification behaviours of the tested alloys are also investigated and it is found that as the solidification temperature range (T) becomes narrow, the solidified structure becomes more dendritic in its features which is believed to create higher solidification cracking resistance.     

Design sensitivity analysis and optimization of nonlinear dynamic response for a motorcycle driving on a half-sine bump road

This paper analyses the design sensitivity of a suspension system with material and geometric nonlinearities for a motorcycle structure. The main procedures include nonlinear structural analysis, formulation of the problem with nonlinear dynamic response, design sensitivity analysis, and optimization. The incremental finite element method is used in structural analysis. The stiffness and damping parameters of the suspension system are considered as design variables. The maximum amplitude of nonlinear transient response at the seat is taken as the objective function during the optimization simulation. A more realistic finite element model for the motorcycle structure with elasto-damping elements of different material models is presented. A comparison is made of the optimum designs with and without geometric nonlinear response and is discussed.Nomenclature A amplitude of the excitation function - a ₀,a ₁ time integration constants for the Newmark method - ^t+t C _s secant viscous damping matrix at timet+t - ^t C _T tangent viscous damping matrix at timet - C linear part of ^t C _T - D _i ⁰ initial value of thei-th design variable - D _i instanenous value of thei-th design variables - ^t+t F^(t–1) total internal force vector at the end of iteration (i–1) and timet+t - ^t+t F _(NL) ^(i–1) nonlinear part of ^t+t F^(i–1) - f frequency of the excitation function - ^t+t K _s secant stiffness matrix at timet+t - ^t K _T tangent stiffness matrix at timet - K linear part of ^t K _T - effective stiffness matrix at timet - L distance between the wheel centres - M constant mass matrix - m _T number of solution time steps - NC number of constraint equations - Q nonlinear dynamic equilibrium equation of the structural system - ^t+t R external applied load vector at timet+t - t _e active time interval for the excitation function - ^t U displacement vector of the finite element assemblage at timet - velocity of the finite element assemblage at timet - ^t Ü acceleration vector of the finite element assemblage at timet - ^t+t U ⁽ⁱ⁾ displacement vector of the finite element assemblage at the end of iterationi and timet+t - velocity vector of the finite element assemblage at the end of iterationi and timet+t - ^t+t Ü⁽ⁱ⁾ acceleration vector of the finite element assemblage at the end of iterationi and timet+t - U ⁽ⁱ⁾ vector of displacement increments from the end of iteration (i–1) to the end of iterationi at timet+t - V driving speed of motorcycle - x vector of design variable - () quantities of variation - ₀ objective function - _i i-th constraint equation     

Crashworthiness design of vehicle by using multiobjective robust optimization

Although deterministic optimization has to a considerable extent been successfully applied in various crashworthiness designs to improve passenger safety and reduce vehicle cost, the design could become less meaningful or even unacceptable when considering the perturbations of design variables and noises of system parameters. To overcome this drawback, we present a multiobjective robust optimization methodology to address the effects of parametric uncertainties on multiple crashworthiness criteria, where several different sigma criteria are adopted to measure the variations. As an example, a full front impact of vehicle is considered with increase in energy absorption and reduction of structural weight as the design objectives, and peak deceleration as the constraint. A multiobjective particle swarm optimization is applied to generate robust Pareto solution, which no longer requires formulating a single cost function by using weighting factors or other means. From the example, a clear compromise between the Pareto deterministic and robust designs can be observed. The results demonstrate the advantages of using multiobjective robust optimization, with not only the increase in the energy absorption and decrease in structural weight from a baseline design, but also a significant improvement in the robustness of optimum.
