    Fast Generation of Smooth Implicit Surface Based on Piecewise Polynomial

    Taku Itoh1, Susumu Nakata2
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.107, No.3, pp. 187-199, 2015, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2015.107.187
    Abstract To speed up generating a scalar field g(x) based on a piecewise polynomial, a new method for determining field values that are indispensable to generate g(x) has been proposed. In the proposed method, an intermediate for generating g(x) does not required, i.e., the field values can directly be determined from given point data. Numerical experiments show that the computation time for determining the field values by the proposed method is about 10.4–12.7 times less than that of the conventional method. In addition, on the given points, the accuracy of g(x) obtained by using the proposed method is almost the same… More >

    Texture Segmentation based on Multivariate Generalized Gaussian Mixture Model

    K. Naveen Kumar1, K. Srinivasa Rao2, Y. Srinivas3, Ch. Satyanarayana4
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.107, No.3, pp. 201-221, 2015, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2015.107.201
    Abstract Texture Analysis is one of the prime considerations for image analysis and processing. Texture segmentation gained lot of importance due to its ready applicability in automation of scene identification and computer vision. Several texture segmentation methods have been developed and analysed with the assumption that the feature vector associated with the texture of the image region is modelled as Gaussian mixture model. Due to the limitations of the Gaussian model being meso kurtic, it may not characterise the texture of all image regions accurately. Hence in this paper, a texture segmentation algorithm is developed and analysed with the assumption that… More >

    An Explicit Time Marching Technique With Solution-Adaptive Time Integration Parameters

    Delfim Soares Jr.1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.107, No.3, pp. 223-247, 2015, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2015.107.223
    Abstract In this work, an explicit time marching procedure, with solution-adaptive time integration parameters, is introduced for the analysis of hyperbolic models. The proposed technique is conditionally-stable, second-order accurate and it has controllable algorithm dissipation, which locally adapts at each time step, according to the computed solution. Thus, spurious modes can be more effectively dissipated and accuracy is improved. Since this is an explicit time integration technique, the new procedure is very efficient, requiring no system of equations to be dealt with at each time-step. Moreover, the technique is simple and easy to implement, being based just on displacement-velocity relations, requiring… More >

    Structural-Acoustic Design Sensitivity Analysis based on Direct Differentiation Method with Different Element Types

    L.L. Chen1, H.B. Chen1,2
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.107, No.3, pp. 249-276, 2015, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2015.107.249
    Abstract Engineers have started to develop ways to decrease noise radiation. Structural-acoustic design sensitivity analysis can provide information on how changes in design variable affect the radiated acoustic performance. As such, it is an important step in the structural-acoustic design and in optimization processes. For thin structures immersed in water, a full interaction between the structural domain and the fluid domain needs to be taken into account. In this work, the finite element method is used to model the structure parts and the boundary element method is applied to the exterior acoustic problem. The formula of the sound pressure sensitivity based… More >
