The article deals with evaluation of image quality by various methods and comparison of their results. Generally, there are several ways how to assess image quality. Three main approaches are: subjective testing, objective testing and image quality evaluation using a human visual system (HVS) model. The subjective testing is based on human perception, the objective one on mathematical computing and the human visual system models on mathematicalmodelling of human vision respecting features of the human perception. Then, the described methods and two designed models of HVS are used for image quality evaluation on a set of images. Results of the modelling were compared with results of the subjective and objective methods.

A landing gear is a good example of a highly nonlinear multidisciplinary system. Using hybrid modelling, nonlinear behaviour can be abstracted to discontinuous behaviour. Bond graphs are an established and intuitive method for constructing mathematical models of multi-physics dynamic systems. The Hybrid Bond Graph is therefore used here to demonstrate the modelling of a landing gear drop test. A distinction is drawn between structural and parametric discontinuities, represented using controlled junctions and elements. Causally static and dynamic bond graphs are compared. A mixed Boolean mathematical model is obtained from the causally dynamic graph.

This paper is concerned with scientific reasoning in the engineering sciences. engineering sciences aim at explaining, predicting and describing physical phenomena occurring in technological devices. The focus of this paper is on mathematical description. These mathematical descriptions are important to computer-aided engineering or design programs (CAE and CAD). The first part of this paper explains why a traditional view, according to which scientific laws explain and predict phenomena and processes, is problematic. In the second part, the reasons of these methodological difficulties are analyzed. Ludwig Prandtl's method of integrating a theoretical and empirical approach is used as an example of good scientific practice. Based on this analysis, a distinction is made between different types of laws that play a role in constructing mathematical descriptions of phenomena. A central assumption in understanding research methodology is that, instead of scientific laws, knowledge of capacities and mechanisms are primary in the engineering sciences. Another important aspect in methodology of the engineering sciences is that in explaining a phenomenon or process spatial regions are distinguished in which distinct physical behaviour occur. The mechanisms in distinct spatial regions are represented in a so-called diagrammatic model. The construction of a mathematical description of the phenomenon or process is based on this diagrammatic model.

In this paper we present a basic language for describing humanbehaviour and reasoning and present the cognitive architecture underlying the semantics of the language. The language is illustrated through a number of examples showing its ability to model human reasoning, problem solving, deliberate behaviour and automatic behaviour. We expect that the simple notation and its intuitive semantics may address the needs of practitioners from non matematical backgrounds, in particular psychologists, linguists and other social scientists. The language usage is twofold, aiming at the formal modelling and analysis of interactive systems and the comparison and validation of alternative models of memory and cognition.

The purpose of the paper is to perform a static analysis of a thin-wall cold-rolled steel cross-section of a trapezoidal sheet by means of a mathematical model developed in ANSYS, commercially available software applications. The trapezoidal sheets are used typically as an external cladding which covers the structures of steel halls. Investigating into behaviour of the trapezoidal sheets subjected to extreme loads represents an urgent issue in wind engineering. A physical tension test has been performed in order to verify and confirm the mathematical model. Experiments have been performed to prove results of the static analysis into the behaviour of a load-carrying structure formed by a thin-wall cross-section.

Biological systems are being used to treat an increasing range of complex wastes;domestic and industrial wastewaters containing nutrients and refractory organic compounds, soil sites and groundwater contaminated by organics, and organic solid residues. These treatment processes rely on micro-organisms and, more than ever before, must deliver higher quality outcomes at higher levels of reliability to protect the environment. At the same time, pressures to deliver cost-effective treatment have increased. The challenge for these biological treatment technologies and the associated engineering is to achieve the environmental and economic goals simultaneously. mathematicalmodelling is an essential component in developing a detailed understanding of such processes, as well as design guidelines and suitable operating and control strategies. This paper provides a brief summary of the development of mathematical models for biological waste treatment systems, why they have become increasingly complex and how certain microbiological tools can provide the experimental means to validate more complex segregated and structured models of biological behaviour. With a number of specific modelling examples in the field of wastewater treatment, we illustrate the potential of these modern microbiological tools and their implications for gaining an improved understanding of biological waste treatment.

Process intensification using periodic operation of trickle bed reactors (TBRs) is still a long way from replacing conventional steady-state operation in industrial use, despite the numerous benefits described in the literature. Complex interactions between hydrodynamics, mass transfer and reaction phenomena make the design of periodically operated TBRs an almost insurmountable challenge. The development of hydrodynamic models able to provide reliable quantitative predictions of flow behaviour and possessing a sound physical basis, is an essential prerequisite for obtaining the necessary insights into this complexity. In this work, the two-phase pressure drop and dynamic liquid hold-up during max/min and on/off periodical operation were predicted using a model based on the relative permeability concept. In order to demonstrate the utility of this approach, a systematic investigation of the quantitative influence of the liquid-phase physical properties was carried out. The results obtained show that the modelling of the hydrodynamics in periodically operated TBRs using the relative permeability concept is feasible. By selecting suitable permeability parameters, unsteady-state hydrodynamics for different periodic operating modes can be predicted successfully. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

This work is focused on development of model for unbalanced rotor bearing system to predict system behaviour in dynamic environment. In this model, nonlinearity is introduced due to two factors, namely, clearance of bearing and localized bearing races defects. The contact between the races and balls is considered as Hertzian contact which results in nonlinear restoring force due to elastic deformation in contact zone. In the mathematical formulation, the shaft is considered as rotating Timoshenko beam, supported on two ball bearings. After modelling of shaft corresponding equations representing the system behaviour has been formulated. The governing equations of motion are solved by Sixth order Runge-Kutta method. Bifurcation plots have been plotted to understand the state of the system in healthy condition and due to localized defects on races of the bearings. The Frequency spectrum and phase trajectory diagrams are also plotted for better understanding of the system response.

Gas jets impinging onto a gas-liquid interface of a liquid pool are studied using computational fluid dynamics modelling, which aims to obtain a better understanding of the behaviour of the gas jets used metallurgical engineering industry. The gas and liquid flows are modelled using the volume of fluid technique. The governing equations are formulated using the density and viscosity of the "gas-liquid mixture", which are described in terms of the phase volume fraction. Reynolds averaging is applied to yield a set of Reynolds-averaged conservation equations for the mass and momentum, and the k-epsilon turbulence model. The deformation of the gas-liquid interface is modelled by the pressure jump across the interface via the Young-Laplace equation. The governing equations in the axisymmetric cylindrical coordinates are solved using the commercial CFD code, FLUENT. The computed results are compared with experimental and theoretical data reported in the literature. The CFD modelling allows the simultaneous evaluation of the gas flow field, the free liquid surface and the bulk liquid flow, and provides useful insight to the highly complex, and industrially significant flows in the jetting system.
