In sheet metal forming processes with complex strain paths, a part is subjected to large plastic deformation. This severe plastic deformation leads to high plastic strain localization zones and subsequent accumulation of those strains. Then internal and superficial micro-defects and in other words ductile damage is created. This damage causes quality problems such as fracture. Therefore, design...

In this paper, we present an approach for an unsupervised learning of probabilistic deformation modes of 2D moving objects from image sequences. The object representation relies on a statistical description of global and local deformations applied to an a priori prototype shape. The optimal bayesian estimate of the deformation process is obtained by maximizing a nonlinear joint probability dist...

We find an exact solution of BPS wall in five-dimensional supergravity using a gravitational deformation of the massive Eguchi-Hanson nonlinear sigma model. The warp factor decreases for both infinities of the extra dimension. Our solution requires no fine-tuning between boundary and bulk cosmological constants, in contrast to the Randall-Sundrum model. Wall solutions are also obtained with war...

INTRODUCTION The DLT (Direct Linear Transformation) algorithm, the most frequently used calibration algorithm, is based on the so-called collinearity condition; i.e. the object, image, and projection center form a straight line. This condition, however, does not hold in an underwater analysis setting due to the nonlinear image deformation caused by refraction at the water-air interface (Figure ...

We develop a thermodynamic model of electrostriction for elastic dielectrics capable of large deformation. The model reproduces the classical equations of state for dielectrics at small deformation, but shows that some electrostrictive effects negligible at small deformation may become pronounced at large deformation. The model is then specialized to account for recent experiments with an elast...

In five-dimensional supergravity, an exact solution of BPS wall is found for a gravitational deformation of the massive Eguchi-Hanson nonlinear sigma model. The warp factor decreases for both infinities of the extra dimension. Thin wall limit gives the Randall-Sundrum model without fine-tuning of input parameters. We also obtain wall solutions with warp factors which are flat or increasing in o...
