Motion retargeting and evaluation for VR-based training of free motions

Virtual reality (VR) has emerged as one of the important and effective tools for education and training. Most VR-based training systems are situation based, where the trainees are trained for discrete decision making in special situations presented by the VR environments. In contrast, this paper discusses the application of VR to a different class of training, for learning free motion, often required in sports and the arts. We propose a VR-based motion-training framework that contains an intuitive motion-guiding interface, posture-oriented motion retargeting, and an evaluation and advice scheme for corrective feedback. Applications of the proposed framework to simple fencing training and a dance imitation game are demonstrated.

Dynamic response of deformable structures subjected to shock load and cavitation reload

The dynamic response of deformable structures subjected to shock load and cavitation reload has been simulated using a multiphase model, which consists of an interface capturing method and a one-fluid cavitation model. Fluid–structure interaction (FSI) is captured via a modified ghost fluid method (Liu et al. in J Comput Phys 190: 651–681, 2003), where the structure is assumed to be a hydro-elasto-plastic material if subjected to a strong shock load. Bulk cavitation near the structural surface is captured using an isentropic model (Liu et al. in J Comput Phys 201:80–108, 2004). The integrated multiphase model is validated by comparing numerical predictions with 1D analytical solutions, and with numerical solutions calculated using the cavitation acoustic finite element (CAFé) method (Sprague and Geers in Shocks vib 7:105–122, 2001). To assess the ability of the multiphase model for multi- dimensions, underwater explosions (UNDEX) near structures are computed. The importance of cavitation reloading and FSI is investigated. Comparisons of the predicted pressure time histories with different explosion center are shown, and the effect on the structure is discussed.     

Numerical Simulation of Fluid-Structure Interaction Using Modified Ghost Fluid Method and Naviers Equations

In this work, we deal with the 1D compressible fluid coupled with elastic solid in an Eulerian-Lagrangian system. To facilitate the analysis, the Naviers equation for elastic solid is cast into a 2×2 system similar to the Euler equation but in Lagrangian coordinate. The modified Ghost Fluid Method is employed to treat the fluid-elastic solid coupling, where an Eulerian-Lagrangian Riemann problem is defined and a nonlinear characteristic from the fluid and a Riemann invariant from the solid are used to predict and define the ghost fluid states. Theoretical analysis shows that the present approach is accurate in the sense of approximating the solution of the Riemann problem at the interface. Numerical validation of this approach is also accomplished by extensive comparison to 1D problems (both water-solid and gas-solid) with their respective analytical solutions. T.G.

Complete erasing of ghost images on computed radiography plates and role of deeply trapped electrons

Computed radiography (CR) plates made of europium-doped Ba(Sr)FBr(I) were simultaneously exposed to filtered ultraviolet light and visible light in order to erase ghost images, i.e., latent image that is unerasable with visible light (LIunVL) and reappearing one, which are particularly observed in plates irradiated with a high dose and/or cumulatively over-irradiated. CR samples showing LIunVLs were prepared by irradiating three different types of CR plates (Agfa ADC MD10, Kodak Directview Mammo EHRM2, and Fuji ST-VI) with 50 kV X-ray beams in the dose range 8.1 mGy—8.0 Gy. After the sixth round of simultaneous 6 h exposures to filtered ultraviolet light and visible light, all the LIunVLs in the three types of CR plates were erased to the same level as in an unirradiated plate and no latent images reappeared after storage at 0 °C for 14 days. With conventional exposure to visible light, LIunVLs consistently remained in all types of CR plates irradiated with higher doses of X-rays and latent images reappeared in the Agfa M10 plates after storage at 0 °C. Electrons trapped in deep centers cause LIunVLs and they can be erased by simultaneous exposures to filtered ultraviolet light and visible light. To study electrons in deep centers, the absorption spectra were examined in all types of irradiated CR plates by using polychromatic ultraviolet light from a deep-ultraviolet lamp. It was found that deep centers showed a dominant peak in the absorption spectra at around 324 nm for the Agfa M10 and Kodak EHRM2 plates, and at around 320 nm for the Fuji ST-VI plate, in each case followed by a few small peaks. The peak heights were dose-dependent for all types of CR samples, suggesting that the number of electrons trapped in deep centers increases with the irradiation dose.     

复合绝缘子运行过程中的损伤蠕变分析

采用Norton蠕变损伤律建立了复合绝缘子的蠕变损伤演化方程,研究了工作载荷对损伤演化的影响规律,给出了不同工作载荷下复合绝缘子损伤与轴向变形之间的对应关系。研究发现,在损伤发生的最初阶段,损伤发展的速度非常缓慢,当损伤超过0.2以后,损伤演化的速度明显加快,绝缘子很快发生破坏。利用复合绝缘子轴向变形与损伤之间的对应关系,可以借助传感器监测运行过程中的复合绝缘子表面轴向变形的变化,从而确定绝缘子的损伤程度。     

非线性负载Norton等效模型的改进分析方法

建立高精度、计算简单的等效模型,对电力系统中非线性负载谐波情况进行准确分析,一直是国内外研究人员的关注重点。而Norton等效电路模型具有表达式及参数简单易于计算的优点,使其在非线性负载等效模型分析中广泛应用。但现有Norton等效模型没有考虑非线性负载谐波电流与谐波电压间的相互影响,分析结果存在较大误差。因此,为了提高Norton等效模型的精度,需要对其进行适当的改进。在传统Norton等效模型的基础上,对非线性负载存在影响的谐波进行分类,将得到的附加电流谐波分别用受控源表示,提出含有受控源的Norton改进等效模型。最后通过采用两种模型对电力系统非线性负载实测电压和电流计算对比,发现在不同的电压条件下,传统Norton模型等效阻抗计算结果差异达到2个数量级,而含有受控源的改进Norton等效电路模型计算得到的等效阻抗大小变化不大,基本可以近似相等。可见,相较于传统不含受控源的Norton等效模型,提出的含有受控源的Norton等效模型的精度与稳定性显著提升。     

Revisited generalized substitution theorem and its consequences for circuit analysis

The Substitution Theorem (ST) is generally perceived as a mere theoretical curiosity. In this paper, a formerly derived generalized ST (GST) is carefully revised, which leads to both a Weak Revisited GST (RGST) and a Strong RGST (characterized by noticeably relaxed hypotheses with respect to the GST). Then, despite the common opinion about the ST, such RGSTs are showed to be powerful analytical tools to generalize, make rigorous and rigorously prove several classic results of Circuit Theory, namely: the Substitution Theorem for Multiterminal Circuits, the Source‐Shift Theorem, the Thévenin–Norton Theorem, the Miller Theorem alongside its Dual, and the Augmentation Principle. More specifically, the Substitution Theorem for Multiterminal Circuits is extended to an arbitrary set of sources, possibly including nullors. The Source‐Shift Theorem is rigorously derived, and possible related ambiguities are removed. Also, all possible hybrid forms of the Thévenin–Norton Theorem for multiports are individuated, and a precise operative procedure for calculating the relevant entities is provided for all cases. Furthermore, the Miller Theorem and its Dual are extended to an arbitrary number of variables and to multiports. As to the Augmentation Principle, the constraint regarding the linearity of the augmenting resistors is removed. Finally, thoroughly worked examples are given in which the aforementioned noteworthy consequences of the RGSTs are proved to be efficient tools for analysis by inspection of linear and nonlinear circuits. Among the other things, systematic pencil‐and‐paper procedures for DC‐point and input‐output (or driving‐point) characteristic calculation in nonlinear networks are derived and applied to circuits with considerably complex topology.
