To estimate the amount of fatigue damage in metallic plates such as steel and stainless steel, we have investigated the relationship between the amount of plane bending fatigue damage and residual magnetization. The magnetic flux density in the Z component (Bz) at 1 mm above a specimen caused by residual magnetization is measured by using a thin-film flux-gate magnetic sensor. From the results of our experiment, the magnetic flux density has clear dependence on the increase of bending stress and the number of stress cycles in austenitic stainless steel. The distribution of Bz on steel plates is changed by the amount of plane bending fatigue damage. But, the relationship between the change of Bz and the number of stress cycles is not clear in the case of steel plates. In this paper, the relationship between the amount of plane bending fatigue damage and residual magnetization in metallic plates is discussed.

Hot electron transport in a high density plasmas has been studied using a two dimensional hybrid code. The results show that the initially cylindrical solid beam evolves into a hollow, annular beam due to the Weibel instability and generates strong magnetic fields on both sides of the annular ring. The annular structure subsequently breaks up into several beamlets due to a mechanism similar to a tearing instability. It is found that the magnetic fields parallel to the direction of beam propagation also grow during the tearing process. These beamlets are attract each other and finally they merged into a single beam which carries a net electric current. The tearing and merging processes have also been analyzed by the hybrid code for a uniform initial condition to determine an asymptotic behaviors of the total number of hot electron beams. We also have performed a three dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation to compare with the results of 2D hybrid code. It shows that the spatial variation of cold electron density is much more uniform than that obtained by 2D code.

When using the Lyapunov synthesis approach to construct an adaptive fuzzy control system, one important way is to regard the fuzzy systems as approximators to approximate the unknown functions in the system to be controlled. Concerning the unknownness, generally there are two cases: a completely unknown case, and a partly unknown case. However, most of the schemes presented so far have only focused on the former. Clearly, if an unknown function belongs to the latter, the knowledge available about the function should be utilized as much as possible in the development of the control system. In this paper, our goal is to design an adaptive fuzzy controller for a class of nonlinear systems with uncertainty, which can correspond to the either case. Also, we propose a unique way to deal with the uncertainty, i.e., adopt a switching function with an alterable coefficient, which is tuned by adaptive law based on the tracking error.

Vose’s genetic algorithm model assuming an infinite population is useful for a theoretical analysis. However, it is generally difficult to know transitions of infinite populations. In this paper, we propose a method for modeling genetic algorithms for infinite populations by using neural networks. We use a neural network for estimating deterministic transitions of infinite populations from stochastic data obtained through observing a process of a genetic algorithm for finite populations. Then the trained network approximates a mapping (or a vector field) which characterizes the genetic algorithm. Our method introduces a framework for analyzing genetic algorithms from the viewpoint of neural networks. In this paper, we use a mixture‐of‐experts architecture for modeling and show that an optimization problem, which the genetic algorithm solves, is represented as a combination of some other optimization problems corresponding to expert networks.

Most of iterative learning control (ILC) methods requires that the relative degree of the plant is less than 2 for a linear system or the plant is passive for a non-linear system. A new model reference parametric adaptive iterative learning control using the command generator tracker (CGT) theory is proposed in this paper. The method can be applied to control a plant with a higher relative degree and it only requires to iteratively adjust n m + 2 parameters for an SISO plant. Therefore, the ILC control system is very simple. The proposed method is in the spirit of simple adaptive control which has received intensive researches during past two decades. Simulation results show the effectiveness and usefulness of the proposed method.

This paper presents a wavelet-based method for medical image enhancement. In the proposed method, a transfer function is derived for transferring wavelet coefficients at various multiresolution levels with different weighting values. Applications of the method to digital radiographic images of x-ray chest are shown. Moreover. in order to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, we compare the results obtained using the wavelet analysis method to that using the conventional fast Fourier transform (FFT) method. The results show that the proposed method is superior to the FFT method in terms of image enhancement.

Useless-variable elimination is a transformation that eliminates variables whose values does not affect the result of a computation. We present a type-based method for useless-variable elimination and prove its correctness. The algorithm is a surprisingly simple extension of the usual type-reconstruction algorithm. Our method has several attractive features. First, it is simple, so that the proof of the correctness is clear and the method can be easily extended to deal with a polymorphic language. Second, it is efficient: for a simply-typed λ-calculus, it runs in time almost linear in the size of an input expression. Moreover, our transformation is optimal in a certain sense among those that preserve well-typedness, both for the simply-typed language and for an ML-style polymorphically-typed language.
