Constructing a Virtual Large Reference Plate with High-precision for Calibrating Cameras with Large FOV

It is well known that the accuracy of camera calibration is constrained by the size of the reference plate,it is difficult to fabricate large reference plates with high precision.Therefore,it is non-trivial to calibrate a camera with large field of view(FOV).In this paper,a method is proposed to construct a virtual large reference plate with high precision.Firstly,a high precision datum plane is constructed with a laser interferometer and one-dimensional air guideway,and then the reference plate is positioned at different locations and orientations in the FOV of the camera.The feature points of reference plate are projected to the datum plane to obtain a virtual large reference plate with high-precision.The camera is moved to several positions to get different virtual reference plates,and the camera is calibrated with the virtual reference plates.The experimental results show that the mean re-projection error of the camera calibrated with the proposed method is 0.062 pixels.The length of a scale bar with standard length of 959.778mm was measured with a vision system composed of two calibrated cameras,and the length measurement error is 0.389mm.

Two-Dimensional Large Deformation Finite Element Analysisfor the Pulling-up of Plate Anchor

Based on mesh regeneration and stress interpolation from an old mesh to a new one, a large deformation finite element model is developed for the study of the behaviour of circular plate anchors subjected to uplift loading. For the deterruination of the distributions of stress components across a clay foundation, the Recovery by Equilibrium in Patches is extended to plastic analyses. ABAQUS, a commercial finite element package, is customized and linked into our program so as to keep automatic and efficient running of large deformation calculation. The quality of stress interpolation is testified by evaluations of Tresca stress and nodal reaction forces. The complete pulling-up processes of plate anchors buried in homogeneous clay arc simulated, and typical pulling force-displacement responses of a deep anchor and a shallow anchor are compared. Different from the results of previous studies, large deformation analysis is of the capability of estimating the breakaway between the anchor bottom and soils. For deep anchors, the variation of mobilized uplift resistance with anchor settlement is composed of three stages, and the initial buried depths of anchors affect the separation embedment slightly. The uplift bearing capacity of deep anchors is usually higher than that of shallow anchors.

Hydroelastic Analysis of Very Large Floating Structures Using Plate Green Functions

Great attention has been paid to the development of very large floating structures. Owing to their extreme large size and great flexibility, the coupling between the structural deformation and fluid motion is significant. This is a typical problem of hydroelasticity. Efficient and accurate estimation of the hydroelastic response of very large floating structures in waves is very important for design. In this paper, the plate Green function and fluid Green function are combined to analyze the hydroelastic response of very large floating structures. The plate Green function here is a new one proposed by the authors and it satisfies all boundary conditions for free-free rectangular plates on elastic foundations. The results are compared with some experimental data. It is shown that the method proposed in this paper is efficient and accurate. Finally, various factors affecting the hydroelastic response of very large floating structures are also studied.

Geometric Nonlinear Formulation for a Rectangular Plate with Large Deformation

Absolute nodal coordinate formulation for a rectangular plate with large deformation was improved. Based on nonlinear elastic theory, a precise strain expression is used to derive the equations of motion. Both shear strain and transverse normal strain are taken into account. Different from the previous absolute nodal coordinate formulation, the absolute nodal coordinates, which describe the displacement and slope of the element nodes, are separated into three parts: the absolute nodal coordinates in X, Y and Z directions, respectively, so that the dimension of the mass, stiffness and force matrices is reduced. Furthermore, by using constant matrices, which can be calculated and saved before simulation, the nonlinear stiffness matrices can be calculated by matrix multiplication for each time step, so that the computational efficiency can be improved. Finally, simulation example of a rectangular plate with large deformation was used to verify the accuracy and efficiency of the present formulation.

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF YARN APPEARANCE IN SINGLE PLATED WORK KNITTED ON LARGE DIAMETER CIRCULAR WEFT KNITTING MACHINE

In this paper the significance analysis has been made of the factors influencing the yarn appearing of single plated weft-knit fabrics knitted on large diameter machine by a mathematical statistical method. By means of orthogonal test and variance analysis, it is known that the feeding tension is the significant factor influencing the yarn appearance and the ground yarn tension should be larger than the face yarn tension. Through comparison, it is also known that the drawing off force should be regulated suitably, the carrier should be near the first closed needle, and the sinker should be out late slightly.

Buckling and large deflection behaviors of radially functionally graded ring-stiffened circular plates with various boundary conditions

The buckling and large deflection behaviors of axis-symmetric radially functionally graded （RFG） ring-stiffened circular plates are investigated by the dynamic relaxation （DR） method combined with the finite difference discretization technique. The material properties of the constituent components of the RFG plate are assumed to vary continuously according to the Mori-Tanalka distribution along the radial direction. The nonlinear governing equations are obtained in the incremental form based on the firstorder shear deformation plate theory （FSDT） and the von Karman relations for large deflection. In the buckling analysis, an external in-plane load is applied to the plate in- crementally so that, in each load-step, the incremental form of the governing equations can be solved by a numerical code prepared based on the DR method. After converging the DR code in the first increment, the latter load-step is added to the previous one, and the program is repeated again. The critical buckling load is determined from the compressive load-displacement curve obtained by solving the incremental form of the governing equations. Based on the present incremental form of formulation, a bending analysis can also be conducted if the whole load is applied simultaneously. Finally, a detailed parametric study is carried out to investigate the influences of various boundary conditions, grading indices, thickness-to-radius ratios, stiffener＇s positions and depths on the critical buckling load, and displacements and stresses resulted from the bending analysis. It is observed that the effect of the stiffener on the results is much greater in the functionally graded plate with higher material grading indices. The results also reveal that, by increasing the depth of the stiffer, the values of ascending the critical buckling load are approximately identical for both simply supported and clamped boundary conditions.

Large eddy simulations of a circular orifice jet with and without a cross-sectional exit plate

The effect of a cross-sectional exit plane on the downstream mixing characteristics of a circular turbulent jet is in- vestigated using large eddy simulation （LES）. The turbulent jet is issued from an orifice-type nozzle at an exit Reynolds number of 5 ×104. Both instantaneous and statistical velocity fields of the jet are provided. Results show that the rates of the mean velocity decay and jet spread are both higher in the case with the exit plate than without it. The existence of the plate is found to increase the downstream entrainment rate by about 10% on average over the axial range of 8-30de （exit diameter）. Also, the presence of the plate enables the formation of vortex rings to occur further downstream by 0.5-1 .Ode. A physical insight into the near-field jet is provided to explain the importance of the boundary conditions in the evolution of a turbulent jet. In addition, a method of using the decay of the centreline velocity and the half-width of the jet to calculate the entrainment rate is proposed.

Axisymmetrical Nonlinear Bending and Buckling of a Circular Plate Under Large Load

With the terms of the exact series solution taken as trial functions, the method of point collocation was used to calculate the large deflection of a circular plate. The axisymmetrical bending formulae were developed for the calculation of a circular plate subjected to polynomial distributed loads, a concentrated load at the center, uniform radial forces and moments along the edge or their combinations. The support may be elastic. The buckling load was calculated. Under action of uniformly distributed load, central load or their compound load, solutions were compared with those obtained by other methods. Buckling beyond critical thrust was compared with that calculated by the power series method. The method presented in this paper has advantages of wide convergent range, high precision and short computing time. Moreover, the computing time is nearly independent of the complexity of the loads.
