Composites based on 3D woven fabrics offer excellent mechanical properties due to the nearly non-crimp reinforcement fibers. Additionally, a reduced number of process steps results from the 3D nature of the reinforcement. Their in-plane and out-of-plane behaviors are purposefully adjustable to the expected loading conditions. A previously introduced modelling approach is extended to the simulation of 3D woven fabrics. The tensile, shear and bending behaviors of the fabric are considered in a material formulation for large deformations using shell elements. The model is successfully validated and parameter studies show the significant influence of shear and bending parameters on forming results. Furthermore, it is shown that also the forming process parameters have a significant influence on the draping results. It is concluded that the shearing and wrinkling can be reduced to a minimum with adapted material and process parameters. 相似文献
This work is a connecting link between the field of digital transmission and (3 Dimension) 3D watermarking. In fact, we propose in this paper a blind and robust watermarking algorithm for 3D multiresolution meshes. This data type, before being watermarked, is divided into GOTs (Group Of Triangles) using a spiral scanning method. At every instant, only one GOT is loaded into memory. It undergoes a wavelet transform. Embedding modifies the wavelet coefficients vector thus generated after being presented in a cylindrical coordinate system. After being watermarked, the current GOT will be released from memory to upload the next GOT. Information is coded using a turbo encoder to generate the codeword to be inserted. Once the entire mesh is scanned, the watermarked mesh is reconstructed. During extraction, the same steps are applied only on the watermarked mesh: our algorithm is then blind. Extracted data are decoded using Error-Correcting Code (turbocode) to correct errors that occurred. The results show that our algorithm preserves mesh quality even with a very large insertion rate while significantly minimizing used memory. Data extraction was done correctly despite the application of various attacks. Our algorithm is robust against most popular attacks such as similarity transformation, noise addition, smoothing, coordinate quantization, simplification and compression. 相似文献
This study, which deals with the coating and granulation of solid particles by aqueous solutions of polymers or inorganic salts, aims to understand the effect of:
process-related variables such as the excess gas velocity, atomizer location, liquid flow rate and concentration, and atomizing air flow rate,
physicochemical-related variables such as the viscosity of solutions, wettability of the granulating liquid on solid particle surfaces, initial particle mean size, and porosity of the particles on the agglomeration kinetics of solid particles in a fluidized bed.
The results showed that for a given particle size, the fluidizing air velocity was the most important factor affecting the growth kinetics and the stability of the operation. An increase of the relative humidity, depending on the liquid flow rate as well as the air flow rate, favor agglomeration mechanism especially for values greater than 0.4. An increase in the particle initial size leads to an enhancement of the layering mechanism, especially for values greater than 300 μm.
The effect of the interfacial tension is investigated by adding different concentrations of a non-ionic surfactant to the binding solution. The effect of the contact angle is then studied using non-hydrophobic, partly hydrophobic, or totally hydrophobic particles. The growth of agglomerates appears to be favoured when the interfacial tension increases and the contact angle decreases. The viscosity of the solution has less effect than the interfacial parameters. The results show that the dominant forces in the granulation process are the capillary forces. 相似文献
In this paper, a new audio watermarking scheme operating in the frequency domain and based on neural network architecture is described. The watermark is hidden into the middle frequency band after performing a Discrete Cosine transform (DCT). Embedding and extraction of the watermark are based on the use of a back-propagation neural network (BPNN) architecture. In addition, the selection of frequencies and the block hiding the watermark are based on a preliminary study of the effect of MP3 compression at several rates on the signal. Experimental results show that the proposed technique presents good robustness and perceptual quality results. We also investigate the application of the proposed technique in video watermarking. Traditional techniques have used audio channel as supplementary embedding space and adopt state-of-the art techniques that resist to MP3 compression attack. In these techniques, the MPEG compression attack is only evaluated on the video part and the audio part is kept unaffected. In this paper, we adapt the preliminary MP3 study to video watermarking technique but with a preliminary study of the MPEG compression applied to the audio channel. Here again, we notice that the application of the preliminary MPEG study to the audio channel improves the robustness of the video watermarking scheme though keeping high-quality watermarked video sequences. 相似文献
This paper presents a numerical investigation of turbulent forced convective flow in a horizontal channel. An exchanger isothermal test plate is embedded in the lower wall, in the fully developed region of the flow close to the exit of the channel. Above this isothermal plate, on the upper surface, a black coated isothermally heating resistance facing downwards is installed. This absorbing surface provides a controlled radiative heat flux on the lower test plate. In this study, custom-built tangential gradient fluxmeters (TGFM) are used to provide local measurements of convective heat transfer so as to validate the numerical predictions. Then, parametric studies are carried out. The profiles for the heat flux are presented for different Reynolds numbers in the flow direction along the cold isothermal lower plate. Then, the influence of the presence of an obstacle, located on the lower surface, on the heat flux is also investigated. All numerical predictions are carried out with Fluent, previously calibrated against benchmark problems and experimental measurements. In the paper, special emphasis is given in the systematic comparison between experimental and numerical results. 相似文献
