AdaBoost Multiple Feature Selection and Combination for Face Recognition

Gabor features have been recognized as one of the most successful face representations. Encouraged by the results given by this approach, other kind of facial representations based on Steerable Gaussian first order kernels and Harris corner detector are proposed in this paper. In order to reduce the high dimensional feature space, PCA and LDA techniques are employed. Once the features have been extracted, AdaBoost learning algorithm is used to select and combine the most representative features. The experimental results on XM2VTS database show an encouraging recognition rate, showing an important improvement with respect to face descriptors only based on Gabor filters.

Investigating the use of compliant webs in the damage-tolerant design of stiffener run-outs

In this work, the use of a compliant web design for improved damage tolerance in stiffener run-outs is investigated. Firstly, a numerical study that incorporates the possibility of debonding and delamination (using VCCT) is used to select a favourable compliant run-out configuration. Then, three different configurations are compared to establish the merits of the compliant design: a baseline configuration, a configuration with optimised tapering and the selected compliant configuration. The performance of these configurations, in terms of strength and damage tolerance, was compared numerically using a parametric finite element analysis. The energy release rates for debonding and delamination, for different crack lengths across the specimen width, were used for this comparison. The three configurations were subsequently manufactured and tested. In order to monitor the failure process, acoustic emission (AE) equipment was used and proved valuable in the detection and analysis of failure. The predicted failure loads, based on the energy release rates, showed good agreement with the experiments, particularly when the distribution of energy release rate across the width of the specimen was taken into account. As predicted numerically, the compliant configuration failed by debonding and showed improved damage tolerance compared to the baseline and tapered stiffener run-outs.

Design of composite stiffener run-outs for damage tolerance

A major concern in stiffener run-out regions, where the stiffener is terminated due to a cut-out, intersecting rib, or some other structural feature which interrupts the load path, is the relatively weak skin–stiffener interface in the absence of mechanical fasteners. More damage tolerant stiffener run-outs are clearly required and these are investigated in this paper. Using a parametric finite element analysis, the run-out region was optimised for stable debonding crack growth. The modified run-out, as well as a baseline configuration, were manufactured and tested. Damage initiation and propagation was investigated in detail using state-of-the-art monitoring equipment including Acoustic Emission and Digital Image Correlation. As expected, the baseline configuration failed catastrophically. The modified run-out showed improved crack-growth stability, but subsequent delamination failure in the stiffener promptly led to catastrophic failure.
