EARTHQUAKE RESPONSE GENERATOR SYSTEM OF FULL-SCALE STRUCTURE

Document Recognition System with Layout Structure Generator

A document input system, with character recognition technique, is used for converting printed matter, such as books and magazines, into code-format information. In order to improve this document input system's performance, an appropriate document structure analysis technique is indispen~able(''~'). When storing data from general printed documents into a database, it is necessary to represent th...

INTERVAL ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK BASED RESPONSE OF UNCERTAIN SYSTEM SUBJECT TO EARTHQUAKE MOTIONS

Earthquakes are one of the most destructive natural phenomena which consist of rapid vibrations of rock near the earth’s surface. Because of their unpredictable occurrence and enormous capacity of destruction, they have brought fear to mankind since ancient times. Usually the earthquake acceleration is noted from the equipment in crisp or exact form. But in actual practice those data may not be...

The Penn State Full-scale Schlieren System

A very large schlieren optical system (2.3x2.9m field-of-view) and its applications in thermal airflow visualization, high-speed imaging of shock waves, and full-scale equipment studies are described. In order to have such a large field-of-view this is a lens-and-grid-type schlieren system using a very large grid as a light source, as first described at the 7 ISFV. It is currently the largest i...
