Compared to wheel locomotion, walking has many advantages : Better to cross over obstacles, the contact with ground is in a determined point, the ground is damaged less. Because Theo Jansen mechanism can make walking motion that is very soft, there are many researches about that mechanism. In this paper, We designed walking robot based on Theo Jansen mechanism. Most important design factor is velocity and stability. First of all, we considered kinematics knowledge and then, we made a new model by using simulation. Finally we developed the model by solving few design problems.

A helical nanosturctrue can be obtained by self-assembly method. Utilizing DPD simulation coarse-grained model, we patterned 2D layer nanosheets with repeated diagonal defects and grafts, and programed to self-roll into hollow helix structure. The defected pattern side caused anisotropy, and formed helix or helix-like structure. This opens the possibility to control the helix pitch or cavity radius. In this work, we designed several patterns about diagonal defect with a variety of defect side densities and defect widths and then simulation was carried out. Thus, our results have that parameters are affecting self-assembly of nanosheets and their conformation.

Web based simulation service is utilized to computationally analyze various phenomena in real world according to the progress of network and computing technology. In this paper, we present an improvement and utilization of e-AIRS (e-Science Aerospace Integrated Research System). e-AIRS, has been utilized to support web based CFD simulation service since 2008. has some problems such as stable system, pre processing, post processing. To solver this problem, we improved e-AIRS such as distributed service processing, personal simulation job assignment control, and faster data loading. After improvement, although users increase from 110 to 606, the priority of user requirements is changed from stable system to pre/post processor. User requirements and statistics about e-AIRS simulation service for each semester is analyzed to support more stable and comfortable service.

For the past few years, KISTI has been servicing an online simulation execution platform, called EDISON, allowing users to conduct simulations on various scientific applications supplied by diverse computational science and engineering disciplines. Typically, these simulations accompany large-scale computation and accordingly produce a huge volume of output data. One critical issue arising when conducting those simulations on an online platform stems from the fact that a number of users simultaneously submit to the platform their simulation requests (or jobs) with the same (or almost unchanging) input parameters or files, resulting in charging a significant burden on the platform. In other words, the same computing jobs lead to duplicate consumption computing and storage resources at an undesirably fast pace. To overcome excessive resource usage by such identical simulation requests, in this paper we introduce a novel framework, called IceSheet, to efficiently manage simulation data based on execution metadata, that is, provenance. The IceSheet framework captures and stores each provenance associated with a conducted simulation. The collected provenance records are utilized for not only inspecting duplicate simulation requests but also performing search on existing simulation results via an open-source search engine, ElasticSearch. In particular, this paper elaborates on the core components in the IceSheet framework to support the search and reuse on the stored simulation results. We implemented as prototype the proposed framework using the engine in conjunction with the online simulation execution platform. Our evaluation of the framework was performed on the real simulation execution-provenance records collected on the platform. Once the prototyped IceSheet framework fully functions with the platform, users can quickly search for past parameter values entered into desired simulation software and receive existing results on the same input parameter values on the software if any. Therefore, we expect that the proposed framework contributes to eliminating duplicate resource consumption and significantly reducing execution time on the same requests as previously-executed simulations.

Control of polymer conformations in heterogeneous confinement plays an important role in natural and engineering processes. We present a simulation study on the conformational structure and dynamics of a single, flexible polymer in a dense array of nanoposts with different sizes and separations, especially, when the volume of the interstitial space formed between four nanoposts is less than the size of the polymer chain. When a polymer is placed in the array of nanoposts, the size of polymer increases compared with that in the absence of nanoposts due to the confinement effect. It is shown that when a polymer is confined in the array of nanoposts the chain is elongated in the direction parallel to the nanoposts. As the interstitial volume between four nanoposts decreases either by increasing the nanopost diameter or by decreasing the separation between nanoposts, the chain elongation becomes more pronounced. On the contrary, the polymer size varies in a non-monotonic fashion, with an initial elongation followed by a chain contraction, as the interstitial volume is reduced both by increasing the nanopost diameter and decreasing the separation at the same time while keeping constant the width of the passageway between two nanoposts. The simulation analysis shows that the non-monotonic dependence of polymer size is determined by interplay between the chain alignment along the nanoposts in each interstitial volume and the chain spreading through passageways over several interstitial volume.

The importance of software in the engineering field is increasing day by day, so the utilization and understanding of the simulation software in the engineering design stage has become the core competence of the engineer. This study presents a new software education method for multiple systems in the field of mechanical engineering using a workflow execution environment as a sub-module of a computational platform (called EDISON platform) that can incorporate in-house software tools developed by many simulation tool developers. It can execute not only individual software tools such as fluid flow, structure, optimal design, but also conduct connective executions of multiple software tools. Based on this simulation environment, a methodology was proposed that can be applied to convergence types of engineering educations. By properly using this methodology, it is expected that beginning engineers could encourage their specialties understanding the big pictures of the analysis processes.

KISTI에서 개발한 계산과학공학 온라인 시뮬레이션 플랫폼 (EDISON)은 국내외 많은 관련 분야 학생 및 연구자에게 웹에서 손쉽게 고성능 컴퓨팅 기반 시뮬레이션을 실행할 수 있도록 지원해 오고 있다. 이러한 성공에도 불구하고, 플랫폼 사용자들에 의해 제기된 한 가지 문제점은 플랫폼에서 시뮬레이션을 수행할 때 만약 동일한 입력 파라미터가 주어진다면 중복적으로 작업을 수행하고 있다는 점이다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해, 우리는 EDISON 플랫폼과 연동할 수 있는 시뮬레이션 이력 재활용 관리자인, SUPERMAN (SimUlation ProvEnance Recycling MANager) 시스템을 설계 및 개발 중에 있다. 본 논문은 SUPERMAN의 주요 설계 원리를 기술하고 이를 바탕으로 설계된 아키텍쳐를 제안한다.

선박의 저항을 추정하는 일은 선박설계에 있어 가장 기본적인 작업이다. 그러나 선박의 크기는 매우 크기 때문에 일반적으로 모형선 실험을 통해 선박의 저항을 추정한다. 이 때, 모형선 실험은 Froude 수를 기준으로 수행하게 되는데 이 때문에 모형선과 실선의 Reynolds 수가 서로 다른 영역에 놓이게 된다. 따라서 모형선 실험에서 얻어진 데이터를 실선에 그대로 적용할 수 없기 때문에 모형선-실선 저항추정법을 사용하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 모형선-실선 저항추정법에 사용되고 있는 2 차원 외삽법을 살펴보고 이 기법에 사용되고 있는 ITTC 마찰저항곡선을 등가평판 주위의 유동장 해석결과와 비교하였으며 ITTC 마찰저항곡선에 대해 고찰하였다.

We present a Brownian dynamics simulation study on the diffusion of a neutral tracer particle confined in a regularly crosslinked polymer network, especially, when the tracer size is comparable to the mesh size of the network. Polymer networks with different mesh sizes are prepared and compressed to the extent that the total polymer densities become the same. Irrespective of the network mesh size, the tracer diffusion in the networks is slowed down, showing the subdiffusion on intermediate time scales followed by the normal diffusion at long times. However, the confinement effect on the tracer diffusion becomes more significant when network strands are tightly stretched with smaller mesh size. The time scales of dynamic transitions are analyzed in terms of the probability distribution of time-correlated particle displacements.
