In most FEM codes, the isotropic-elastic & transversely anisotropic-elastoplastic model using Hill’s yield function has been widely adopted in 3D shell elements (modified to meet the plane-stress condition) and 3D solid elements. However, when the 4-node quadrilateral axisymmetric element is used for 2D sheet metal forming simulation, the above transversely anisotropic model is not available in FEM code LS-DYNA3D. A novel approach for the explicit analysis of transversely anisotropic and axisymmetric sheet metal forming using 6-component Barlat yield function is elaborated in detail in this paper. The related formula and parameters are derived directly. Numerical results obtained using the new model fit well with the Hill solution. © 2005 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper introduces a high-speed image processing of embedded systems based on FPGA and DSP collaboration used in coal preparation detection technology. The system uses a modular design, including a real-time image acquisition module, DSP image processing module, and peripheral interface module. The image processing required doing the following arithmetic operations, including image smoothing to enhance, edge detection, region segmentation, gray-scale analysis, pattern recognition. After completion of the above algorithm, the system determines the image feature of coal and gangue, particularly their gray scale values and the center of gravity. By analysis of the characteristics of the image, the system identifies the gangue. The image processing is conducive to the follow-up to discharge refuse treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
