Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTransversely Cracked Beam's Finite Elements with a Hinged EndM. Skrinar, T. PliberšekTwo new beam finite-elements to be used for the transverse displacement analysis of slender beams with transverse cracks are presented where the derivations are based on a simplified computational model. The beam stiffness matrixes are presented in symbolic forms for beams with a single transverse crack and a hinge at one of the nodes. Since in the derivations the corresponding … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 6,913 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHigh-precision Detection of Facial Landmarks to Estimate Head Motions Based on Vision ModelsXiaohong W. Gao, Sergey Anishenko, Dmitry Shaposhnikov et al.A new approach of determination of head movement is presented from the pictures recorded via digital cameras monitoring the scanning processing of PET. Two human vision models of CIECAMs and BMV are applied to segment the face region via skin colour and to detect local facial landmarks respectively. The developed algorithms are evaluated on the pictures (n=12) monitoring a subject’s … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,819 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResonance in Satellite's Motion Under Air DragRashmi Bhardwaj, Mani SethiThis article studies the attitude motion of a satellite in a circular orbit under the influence of central body of mass M and its moon of mass m, whose orbit is assumed to be circular and coplanar with the orbit of the satellite. The body is assumed to be tri-axial body with principal moments of inertia A < B < … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,001 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Use of Neural Networks in Real-time Face DetectionKevin Curran, Xuelong Li, Neil M. CaughleyAs continual research is being conducted in the area of computer vision, one of the most practical applications under vigorous development is in the construction of a robust real-time face detection system. Successfully constructing a real-time face detection system not only implies a system capable of analyzing video streams, but also naturally leads onto the solution to the problems of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,017 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of Flywheel with a Moving HoleJihad Said AddasiA special apparatus has been designed to study linear, circular, and rotational motions. This apparatus consists of a flywheel, rotating in horizontal plane by the mean of a hanging mass. This flywheel carries a hole, which can be moved on a radial rail. This hole can be fixed at desired distance from the flywheel axis. Putting a metallic sphere on … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2005 · 6,887 accessesView PDFCite
