This work aims to develop a system for predicting age progression in children’s faces from a small exemplar-image set, which is a critical task to assist in the search for missing children. The proposed method consists a facial component extraction module, a facial component distance measurement module, and a face synthesis module. It is developed based on the assumption that two similar facial...

We study a vectorial approximation problem based on thin plate splines with tension involving two positive parameters: one for the control of the oscillations and the other for the control of the divergence and rotational components of the field. The existence and uniqueness of the solution are proved and the solution is explicitly given. As special cases, we study the limit problems as the par...

In this paper, the bending behavior of rectangular plates with stepped thickness resting on an elastic half-space foundation is investigated through analytic method. Combined theory thin and moderately thick plate, plate divided into upper lower plates, Fourier series used to obtain analytical solution deflection interaction force between foundation. The influence modulus theory, dimension also...

We analyze three-dimensional finite coupled thermomechanical deformations of a rectangular plate with two parallel notches placed symmetrically about the horizontal centroidal plane of the plate. The edge surface of the plate between the two notches is struck by a cylindrical projectile of diameter equal to the distance between the notches and made of the same material as the plate. The plate m...

Abstract Based on the Rayleigh-Ritz method, transverse vibration characteristics of a rectangular plate with an arbitrarily shaped inner opening are investigated. A modified two-dimensional Fourier series was chosen as trial function and springs different stiffnesses were used to equate arbitrary boundary conditions plate. The Lagrange generalization open is obtained by equating area special fi...

Abstract. We study investigate a long, thin rectangular elastic membrane that is bent through an angle 2α, using the Föppl–von Kármán ansatz in a geometrically linear setting. We study the associated variational problem, and show the existence of a minimizer for the elastic energy. We also prove rigorous upper and lower bounds for the minimum energy of this configuration in terms of the plate t...

In this article some analytic expressions for acoustic propagation in 3-D ducts of rectangular cross-section and with flexible walls are explored. Consideration is first given to the propagation of sound in an unlined 3-D duct formed by three rigid walls and closed by a thin elastic plate. An exact closed form expression for the fluid-structure coupled waves is presented. The effect of incorpor...

This paper is aimed to present the Global Thin Plate Spline Differential Quadrature method for numerical solution of viscous Burgers’ equation. mesh-less and high-order model introduced with motive diminishing computational effort dealing irregular geometries. Radial basis function used as a test determine coefficients derivatives in differential quadrature. The algorithm applied discretize sol...
