This paper presents an automated inspection algorithm for a thick plate. Thick plates typically have various types of surface defects, such as scabs, scratches, and roller marks. These defects have individual characteristics including brightness and shape. Therefore, it is not simple to detect all the defects. In order to solve these problems and to detect defects more effectively, we propose a...

BACKGROUND To assess the clinical feasibility of lingual bone guttering technique for surgical extraction of mandibular third molars. MATERIALS AND METHODS 20 patients with thick lingual cortical plate were included in the study. Surgical extraction of mandibular third molars by lingual bone guttering technique was performed in all the subjects. These subjects were evaluated for integrity of ...

The coupled acoustic-gravity field channel used in this study is schematically illustrated in Fig. 5.1. A lead-zirconate-titanate transducer with 510kHz resonant frequency (170mm-length × 15mm-width × 4.2mm-thick, Fuji-ceramics Inc., Japan) was glued on a 5.00mm-thick Pyrex glass plate using epoxy adhesive. Boat-shaped PTFE spacer (0.8mm-thickness) was sandwiched between the glass plate with tr...

A fractional Cattaneo model for studying the thermoelastic response a finite thick circular plate with source function is considered. The subjected to radiation-type boundary conditions on upper and lower surfaces, its curved surface kept at zero temperature. theory of integral transformations used solve generalized Cattaneo-type, classical Cattaneo-Vernotte Fourier heat conduction model. analy...

This paper presents new exact 3-D (three-dimensional) elasticity closed-form solutions for out-of-plane free vibration of thick rectangular single layered FG (functionally graded) plates and thick rectangular homogeneous plate coated by a functionally graded layer with simply supported boundary conditions. It is assumed that the plate is on a Winkler-Pasternak elastic foundation and elasticity ...

In structures, stress concentration is a factor of fatigue fracture. Basically, the stress concentration is a phenomenon that should be avoided. However, it is difficult to avoid the stress concentration. Therefore, relaxation of the stress concentration is important. The stress concentration arises from notches and circular holes. There is a relaxation method that a composite patch covers a no...
