Environmental contours are widely used as basis for design of structures exposed to environmental loads. The basic idea the method is decouple description from structural response. This done by establishing an envelope joint extreme values representing critical conditions, such that any structure tolerating loads on this will have a failure probability smaller than prescribed value. Specificall...

Abstract In this article, the primary focus is to investigate heat transfer effects with viscous compressible laminar flow in permeable elliptic cylinder. The Reynolds number kept 100 for be laminar. physics of selected coupled flow. results particular step-size time Velocity distribution, pressure profile, temperature isothermal contours, and drag coefficient have been analyzed. Mesh has gener...

We present in this paper a new particle-based method for sampling and rendering several types of the nonphotorealistic feature contours on implicit surfaces: silhouette, shadow, specular shadow and suggestive contours. We introduce a curve adhesion behavior for dynamic particles that brings up the possibility to render any contour that is defined as an intersection of two implicit surfaces. In ...

The equal-loudness contours describe the frequency characteristic of sensitivity of our auditory system. A set of the equal-loudness contours based on British data measured in mid-1950 was standardized as ISO 226. However, several research results reported in mid-1980 showed that the set of equal-loudness contours in ISO 226 contained a large error. We, therefore, carried out this project to de...

A three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction algorithm based on contours identification from biplanar radiographs is presented. It requires, as technical prerequisites, a method to calibrate the biplanar radiographic environment and a surface generic object (anatomic atlas model) representing the structure to be reconstructed. The reconstruction steps consist of: the definition of anatomical regions...
