A methodology to couple two- and three dimensional thermal models is described. The method uses reduced order fluid models as a mechanism to transfer heat fluxes and average temperatures at the interface. In particular the concept of a duct-void is introduced to ease the coupling of different types of models. A new edge-based thermal solver, which is used in this process, is briefly described. A realistic case, corresponding to a two-stage turbine, is used to illustrate the usefulness of the method. It is concluded that the temperature difference between a fully coupled a approach and a simpler unidirectional method (in which a two-dimensional global model is first computed and, then, the temperatures at the interface are transferred to three-dimensional sub-components) may be large enough to affect engineering decisions.

Coordination of highway horizontal and vertical alignments is based on subjective guidelines in current standards. This paper presents a quantitative analysis of coordinating horizontal and sag vertical curves that are designed using two-dimensional standards. The locations where a horizontal curve should not be positioned relative to a sag vertical curve (called red zones) are identified. In the red zone, the available sight distance (computed using three-dimensional models) is less than the required sight distance. Two types of red zones, based on stopping sight distance (SSD) and preview sight distance (PVSD), are examined. The SSD red zone corresponds to the locations where an overlap between a horizontal curve and a sag vertical curve should be avoided because the three-dimensional sight distance will be less than the required SSD. The PVSD red zone corresponds to the locations where a horizontal curve should not start because drivers will not be able to perceive it and safely react to it. The SSD red zones exist for practical highway alignment parameters, and therefore designers should check the alignments for potential SSD red zones. The range of SSD red zones was found to depend on the different alignment parameters, especially the superelevation rate. On the other hand, the results showed that the PVSD red zones exist only for large values of the required PVSD, and therefore this type of red zones is not critical. This paper should be of particular interest to the highway designers and professionals concerned with highway safety.Key words: sight distance, red zone, combined alignment.

Three Dimensional Models

A linear theory is presented for waves generated by an arbitrary bed deformation {in space and time) for a two-dimensional and a three -dimensional fluid domain of uniform depth. The resulting wave profile near the source is computed for both the two and three-dimensional models for a specific class of bed deformations; experimental results are presented for the two-dimensional model. The growth of nonlinear effects during wave propagation in an ocean of uniform depth and the corresponding limitations of the linear theory are investigated. A strategy is presented for determining wave behavior at large distances from the source where linear and nonlinear effects are of equal magnitude. The strategy is based on a matching technique which employs the linear theory in its region of applicability and an equation similar to that of Korteweg and deVries (KdV) in the region where nonlinearities are equal in magnitude to frequency dispersion. Comparison of the theoretical computations with the experimental results indicates that an equation of the KdV type is the proper model of wave behavior at large distances from the source region.

Abstract This paper deals with modeling and control of a crane mounted on a tower-like flexible structure. A fast transfer of the load causes the sway of the load rope and the vibration of the flexible structure. Our object is to control both the sway and the vibration by the inherent capability of the tower crane. This paper makes its three-dimensional models for simulation and reduced-order-model in order to design the decentralized control system. Then, we design the decentralized H∞ compensator and verify the efficiency by simulations and experiments.

Abstract Objective: To assess whether the values of different measurements taken on three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions from cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) are comparable with those taken on two-dimensional (2D) images from conventional lateral cephalometric radiographs (LCRs) and to examine if there are differences between the different types of CBCT software when taking those measurements. Material and Methods: Eight patients were selected who had both an LRC and a CBCT. The 3D reconstructions of each patient in the CBCT were evaluated using two different software packages, NemoCeph 3D and InVivo5. An observer took 10 angular and 3 linear measurements on each of the three types of record on two different occasions. Results: Intraobserver reliability was high except for the mandibular plane and facial cone (from the LCR), the Na-Ans distance (using NemoCeph 3D), and facial cone and the Ans-Me distance (using InVivo5). No statistically significant differences were found for the angular and linear measurements between the LCRs and the CBCTs for any measurement, and the correlation levels were high for all measurements. Conclusion: No statistically significant differences were found between the angular and linear measurements taken with the LCR and those taken with the CBCT. Neither were there any statistically significant differences between the angular or linear measurements using the two CBCT software packages.

Watermark Algorithm

Watermark information is embedded in three-dimensional mesh model through three-dimensional watermarking algorithm for effective copyright protection. The widely use of three-dimensional grid model attracts more attention on the copyright protection. The digital watermark algorithm with the NURBS model based on the wavelet transform aims to get the virtual grayscale images using the control point coordinate. Then we can embed the watermark into the virtual gray image watermark. It can change the three-dimensional models into two-dimensional images. And this algorithm can enhance the operability and simplicity of the watermark embedding. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm is easy to implement, simple in principle, and the extracted watermark is clearly visible, moreover, the model does not need to be directly modified, so it has good robustness. Watermarked model does not change in the visual, it has good invisibility.

Three Dimensional Models

Finite layers of three-dimensional models can be regarded as two-dimensional with complicated multi-stated weights. The tetrahedron equation in 3D provides the Yang–Baxter equation for this composite weights in 2D. Such solutions of the Yang–Baxter equation are constructed for the simplest operator solution of the tetrahedron equation. These R-matrices can be regarded as a special projection of universal R-matrix for some Drinfeld double [Formula: see text], associated with the affine algebra [Formula: see text]. Usual R-matrix for [Formula: see text] is another projection of [Formula: see text].

The structure in which the welding process is performed highly affects the residual stresses generated in the welding. This effect is simulated by choosing the appropriate boundary conditions in modeling the welding process. The major parameters of the boundary conditions are the method by which the base metal is being fixed and the amount of heat being applied through the torch. Other parameters may include the coefficients of thermal heat loss from the plate which may simulate the media in which the welding is taking place. In modeling the welding process, two-dimensional forms of approximation were developed in analyzing most of the models of such problem. Three-dimensional models analyzing the welding process were developed in limited applications due to its high computation time and cost. With the development of new finite element tools, namely the element movement technique developed by the authors, full three-dimensional analysis of the welding process is becoming in hand. In the present work, three different boundary conditions shall be modeled comparing their effect on the welding. These boundary conditions shall be applied to two models of the welding process: one using the element birth technique and the other using the element movement technique showing the similarity in their responses verifying the effectiveness of the latter being accomplished in a shorter time.

The prevenient mechanical research on U type steel support focuses on two dimensional analysis in the installing plan. Interested in the buckling failure of U type steel support’s pinnas in one coal mine of Huainan Group, the authors build three dimensional models to stimulating 25U and 29U support. The appealing simulation results verify ANSYS’s 3-D computational capabilities about complicated section support. The main objective of their investigation has been to obtain some knowledge of the mechanism, stress distribution, and load magnitude in the support’s deforming. Further, the deviating longitudinal load play an accelerating deformation role on its distorting, which should be paied more attention to cross-section optimization, design of support parameters, and installing way of steel lacing.
