In this paper, we present a new fuzzy reasoning method based on the compensating fuzzy reasoning (CFR). Its basicidea is to obtain a new fuzzy reasoning result by moving and deforming the consequent fuzzy set on the basis of themoving, deformation, and moving-deformation operations between the antecedent fuzzy set and observation information.Experimental results on real-world data sets show tha...

In this paper, transverse and longitudinal vibration of nonlinear plate under exciting of orbiting mass is considered based on first-order shear deformation theory. The nonlinear governing equation of motion are discretized by the finite element method in combination with Newmark’s time integration scheme under von Karman strain-displacement assumptions. For validation of method and formulation...

The operation of a micro-pump system driven by a magnetoelastic polymeric membrane developed at Texas A&M University is analyzed by numerical simulations. Unsteady, incompressible NavierStokes equations in a moving boundary system are solved by a spectral element methodology, employing an Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) formulation on unstructured meshes. The performance of the micro-pump i...

We describe a novel robotic endoscope system. It can be used to observe a wide area without moving or bending the endoscope. The system consists of a laparoscope with zoom facility and two wedge prisms at the tip. This new concept produces excellent characteristics as follows. Firstly, it can change the field of view even in a small space. Secondly, it is safe because it avoids the possibility ...

The internal flow circulation dynamics of a liquid drop moving in a co- or counter-flowing gas stream has been numerically studied. The present work is concerned with the time accurate numerical solution of the two phase flow field at the low Mach number limit with an appropriate volume tracking method to capture motion and deformation of a liquid drop. It is shown that relative velocity betwee...

We provide an image deformation method based on wavelet filter using control curves and moving least squares. The image is preprocessed firstly instead of being directly deformed by the old ways. And the original image will be filtered into a high frequency part and a low frequency part by the wavelet, and then use the moving least squares and the control curves only to deform the low frequency...

The problem of several finite moving cracks in a functionally graded material is solved by dislocation technique under the condition of anti-plane deformation. By using the Fourier transform the stress fields are obtained for a functionally graded strip containing a screw dislocation. The stress components reveal the familiar Cauchy singularity at the location of dislocation. The solution is em...
