Strain monitoring is very important in the manufacturing, assembling, installation and servicing processes in both mechanical and civil engineering fields. Two-dimensional digital image correlation is a simple, efficient strain monitoring method, but one major bottleneck is the unacceptable error due to the unavoidable out-of-plane motions of the object in practice. We propose a “self-correction” method: employing the originally extracted strain values in different directions to correct the errors due to out-of-plane motions. It is applicable to many engineering applications with known relationship of strains in different directions. A uniaxial tension test was conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness and practicality of this self-correction method. Compared with other correction methods, this method is not only simpler but also more efficient in correcting errors due to the lens distortion caused by self-heating. Both the experiment and theoretical analyses demonstrate that this self-correction method maintains the high accuracy of the digital image correlation method.

AbstractA modified direct-forcing immersed-boundary (IB) pressure correction method is developed to simulate the flows of a falling ellipse. The pressure correct method is used to solve the solutions of the two dimensional Navier-Stokes equations and a direct-forcing IB method is used to handle the interaction between the flow and falling ellipse. For a fixed aspect ratio of an ellipse, the types of the behavior of the falling ellipse can be classified as three pure motions: Steady falling, fluttering, tumbling, and two transition motions: Chaos, transition between steady falling and fluttering. Based on two dimensionless parameters, Reynolds number and the dimensionless moment of inertia, a Reynolds number-inertia moment phase diagram is established. The behaviors and characters of five falling regimes are described in detailed.

Abstract. The raindrop size distribution (DSD) quantifies the micro-structure of rainfall and is critical to studying precipitation processes. We present a method to improve the accuracy of DSD measurements from Parsivel disdrometers, using a two-dimensional-video-disdrometer (2DVD) as a reference instrument. Parsivel disdrometers bin recorded raindrops into velocity and equivolume diameter classes, but may mis-estimate the number of drops per class. We define a filter for raw disdrometer measurements to remove particles that are unlikely to be plausible raindrops. In our correction method, drop velocities are corrected with reference to theoretical models of terminal drop velocity. Non-plausible measurements are removed. Lastly, drop concentrations are corrected such that on average the Parsivel concentrations match those recorded by a 2DVD. The correction can be trained on and applied to data from both generations of Parsivel disdrometers. The method was applied to data collected during field campaigns in Mediterranean France, for a network of first and second generation Parsivel disdrometers. We compared the moments of the resulting DSDs to those of a collocated 2DVD, and the resulting DSD-derived rain rates to collocated rain gauges. The correction vastly improved the accuracy of the moments of the Parsivel DSDs, and in the majority of cases the rain rate match with collocated rain gauges was improved.

This study aims to develop a simple and quick, but sufficiently accurate solution method for calculating the air flow and tracking the particles in a complex tubular system, where the flow changes its magnitude and direction in a periodic manner. The flow field is assumed to be quasi-two-dimensional and a pressure-correction method is employed to calculate the spetio-temporal variation of the air velocity inside the larynx. Then, the calculated one-dimensional flow distribution is used to reconstruct a two-dimensional flow field is constructed based on the average velocity along the axial direction. The system geometry is taken as close as possible to the actual larynx for an average person with an average glottis opening. For the current study the walls of the larynx is approximated as rigid walls, but different ways to account for compliant walls are proposed within the context of the one-dimensional mode. The 1-D transient model is validated against a two-dimensional model using a verified commercial code. Particles are introduced into the system and tracked during every time fraction of the respiratory cycle. Then, the histograms of particles that come into contact with the larynx are calculated, and regions with a higher probability for particle deposition are identified.
