This paper presents a technique for front image sensing of the weld pool in variable polarity plasma arc welding of aluminum alloys, and describes the determination of the geometrical size of the keyhole for subsequent real-time feedback control of a full penetration weld. Image formation occurs when the arc light reflects off the concave mirror-like surface of the depressed keyhole weld pool, and passes through a band-pass filter onto the image sensor. The image of the visual keyhole (nominal keyhole) is a two-dimensional projected picture of the actual keyhole weld pool. The variation in area of the nominal keyhole is closely correlated with the variation of the bottom width of the weld bead.

The 2003 Tokachi-oki earthquake (MJ 8.0) occurred off the southeastern coast of Tokachi, Japan, and generated a large tsunami which arrived at Tokachi Harbor at 04:56 with a wave height of 4.3 m. Japan Marine Science and Technology Center (JAMSTEC) recovered records of water pressure and sea-bed acceleration at the bottom of the tsunami source region. These records are first introduced with some findings from Fourier analysis and band-pass filter analysis. Water pressure disturbance lasted for over 30 minutes and the duration was longer than those of accelerations. Predominant periods of the pressure looked like those excited by Rayleigh waves. Next, numerical simulation was conducted using the dynamic tsunami simulation technique able to represent generation and propagation of Rayleigh wave and tsunami, with a satisfactory result showing validity and usefulness of this technique. Keywords: Earthquake, Rayleigh wave, tsunami, near-field
