The instrumental seismic intensity of Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) uses three types of filters which consist of high-cut, low-cut and period functions. An extended function of the low-cut filter is used to evaluate the effect of long-period range on seismic intensity in the paper. An asymptotic filter processing of acceleration in the extended function is proposed to express seismic intens...

Displacement must be determined in both stereo and optical ow computation. Correlation or Sum of Differences can produce robust displacement estimates. To improve its performance near occlusions and dis-occlusions, we construct new estimators from a priori analysis. We introduce smoothly decaying summation functions into Sum of Diierences operators to improve their reliability. Moreover, we sho...

The formula cars need high tire grip on racing challenge by reducing rolling displacement at corner or double change lands. In this case study, the paper clarifies some issues related to suspension system with inerter to reduce displacement and rolling angle under impact from road disturbance on Formula SAE Car. We propose some new designs, which have an advance for suspension system by improvi...

The dynamic characteristics of an axisymmetrical linear actuator with axially magnetized moving permanent magnet are obtained using combined field and circuit approach. The magnetic field of the actuator has been analysed using the finite element method over a current-displacement sampling grid. Two field analyses are carried out for each point of the grid one for the real system and one for th...

The problems of lateral displacement control and usability of a structure are treated as the main part in high-rise buildings. Lateral displacement and usability control can be effectively managed through stiffness design. In this paper the non-dominated sorted genetic algorithm, NSGA-II, which may be used to satisfy many objective functions is applied to the structural design of high-rise buil...

In this paper, an analytical approach for deriving the Green’s function of circular and annular plate was presented. Null-field integral equations were employed to solve the plate problems while kernel functions were expanded to degenerate kernels. The unknown boundary data of the displacement, slope, normal moment and effective shear force were expressed in terms of Fourier series. It was noti...

The general Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) type weak-forms of the displacement & traction boundary integral equations are presented, for solids undergoing small deformations. Using the directly derived non-hyper singular integral equations for displacement gradients, simple and straight-forward derivations of weakly singular traction BIE's for solids undergoing small deformations are als...

The biophysics of nucleic acid hybridization and strand displacement have been used for the rational design of a number of nanoscale structures and functions. Recently, molecular amplification methods have been developed in the form of non-covalent DNA catalytic reactions, in which single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) molecules catalyze the release of ssDNA product molecules from multi-stranded complexe...

We propose to use a Nomarski imaging interferometer to measure the out-of-plane displacement field of MEMS. It is shown that the measured optical phase arises both from height and slope gradients. Using four integrating buckets a more efficient approach to unwrap the measured phase is presented, thus making the method well suited for highly curved objects. Slope and height effects are then deco...

The measurement of small displacements on the nanometric scale demands metrological systems of high accuracy and precision. In this context, interferometer-based displacement measurements have become the main tools used for traceable dimensional metrology. The different industrial applications in which small displacement measurements are employed requires the use of online measurements, high sp...
