Two kinds of theory for non-destructive inspection of ceramics were reviewed, which were derived by the authors using flaw-size distribution. In the sufficient condition theory (Realistic NDI), we had discussed about the screening flaw-size and a screening region. In the necessary and sufficient condition theory (Ideal NDI), we found that the screening flaw-size should be changed depending on stress state and specimen configuration. It was proved that there is one-to-one correspondence between Ideal NDI and a proof test. Applications to machining damage problems and surface strengthening of ceramics were also presented.

Abstract The relation between the slope and shape parameters of the raindrop size distribution parameterized by a gamma distribution is examined. The comparison of results of a simple rain shaft model with an empirical relation based on disdrometer measurements at the surface shows very good agreement, but a more detailed discussion reveals some difficulties—for example, deviations from the gamma shape and the overestimation of collisional breakup.

Abstract. Leizhou peninsula is located in the south of Guangdong Province, near South China Sea, and has a tropical and subtropical monsoon climate. Based on observed drop size distribution (DSD) data from July 2007 to August 2007 with PARSIVEL disdrometers deployed at Zhanjiang and Suixi, the characterists of DSDs are studied. Non-linear least squares method is used to fit Gamma distribution. Convective and stratiform averaged DSDs are in good agreement with Gamma distribution, especially in stratiform case. Convective average DSDs have a wider spectrum and higher peak. Microphysical parameter differences between convective and stratiform are discussed, convective precipitation has a higher mass-weighted mean diameter (Dm) and generalized intercepts (Nw) in both areas. The constrained relations between Gamma distribution parameter (μ, Λ, N0) is derived. The retrieved polarimetric radar parameter (KDP, ZDR, Zh) have a good self-consistency, which can be used to improve the accuracy of KDP calculation. R-KDP-ZDR is superior to the R-KDP, R-ZDR-Zh in quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE), with a correlation coefficient higher than 0.98.

Let X be a random variable whose frequency function is1.1Form (1.1) is Stacy′s [3] generalization of the gamma distribution. The familiar gamma, chi, chi-squared, exponential and Weibull variâtes are special cases, as are certain functions of normal variate - viz., its positive even powers, its modulus, and all positive powers of its modulus.
