  • This paper aims to assess the applicability of the Runge Kutta Discontinuous Galerkin-Direct Ghost Fluid Method to the internal explosion inside a water-filled tube, which previously was studied by many researchers in separate works. Once the explosive charge located at the inner center of the water-filled tube explodes, the tube wall is subjected to an extremely high intensity fluid loading and deformed. The deformation causes a modification of the field of fluid flow in the region near the water-structure interface so that has substantial influence on the response of the structure. To connect the structure and the fluid, valid data exchanges along the interface are essential. Classical fluid structure interaction simulations usually employ a matched meshing scheme which discretizes the fluid and structure domains using a single mesh density. The computational cost of fluid structure interaction simulations is usually governed by the structure because the size of time step may be determined by the density of structure mesh. The finer mesh density, the better solution, but more expensive computational cost. To reduce such computational cost, a non-matched meshing scheme which allows for different mesh densities is employed. The coupled numerical approach of this paper has fewer difficulties in the implementation and computation, compared to gas dynamics based approach which requires complicated analytical manipulations. It can also be applied to wider compressible, inviscid fluid flow analyses often found in underwater explosion events.

  • The swing noise of an excavator is reduced in this study. When an excavator is under a swing motion, it produces the annoying noise which is required to be reduced. To identify the characteristics of the swing noise, the signals of noise and vibration from an excavator are measured during the swing motion. From the variation of the driving motor speed, the noise and vibration signals are picked up and plotted in the waterfall plots. From the waterfall plots, we identify the frequency components corresponding to the driving motor frequency, the gear mesh frequency of the planetary gear, and their harmonics. In addition, the natural frequencies and modes of the center frame are extracted by using the experimental modal test. It is found that the swing noise is amplified when the gear mesh frequencies coincide with the natural frequencies of the center frame. To reduce the swing noise, the structural modification is performed to the center frame. Finally, it is observed that the noise is considerably reduced by the structural modification.

  • 현재 운용중인 대부분의 VPN은 모든 CPE(Customer Premise Equipment) VPN GW(Gateway)들이 Center VPN GW에 연결되어 있는 Star 구조를 취하고 있다. 이러한 구조에서는 모든 트래픽들이 항상 Center VPN GW를 거쳐서 전송되므로 비효율적인 트래픽 전송이 이루어진다. 또한 대용량의 멀티미디어 트래픽 전송이 빈번하거나 다수의 지점을 갖고 있는 기업의 경우 Center VPN GW에서의 오버헤드가 증가하게 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 방법으로는 IPSec의 IKE(Internet Key Exchange) 메커니즘을 이용하여 CPE VPN GW간 직접 터널을 맺어 줄 수 있으나, 터널 설립에 앞서 원격지 CPE VPN GW의 주소, 요구되는 보안 등급 등의 터널 설정에 필요한 정보를 관리자가 직접 설정해 주어야 한다. 이는 현재 DHCP와 같은 동적 IP 환경에서 운용되는 ADSL 기반의 VPN 환경에서 관리 오버헤드를 증가시키는 요인이 된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 CPE VPN GW 간 직접 터널 연결이 필요할 시에 자동적으로 제반 기능들이 수행될 수 있게 하는 주문형 터널 생성(On-demand Tunnel Creation) 메커니즘 제안한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안하는 방안에 대하여 성능을 조사하였고, 이와 함께 기존의 Star VPN 구조, Full-mesh VPN 구조와 성능을 비교하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 제안하는 방안이 기존의 Star VPN 구조보다 확장성과 트래픽 전송효율성, Center VPN GW의 오버헤드 측면에서 우수한 성능을 보였으며 Full-mesh 구조의 VPN과 거의 비슷한 종단간 지연시간과 처리율을 보였다.

  • We present a new computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation code. The code employs the moving and polyhedral unstructured mesh scheme, which is known as a superior approach to the conventional SPH (smoothed particle hydrodynamics) and AMR (adaptive mesh refinement) schemes. The code first generates unstructured meshes by the Voronoi tessellation at every time step, and then solves the Riemann problem for surfaces of every Voronoi cell to update the hydrodynamic states as well as to move former generated meshes. For the second-order accuracy, the MUSCL-Hancock scheme is implemented. To increase efficiency for generating Voronoi tessellation we also develop the incremental expanding method, by which the CPU time is turned out to be just proportional to the number of particles, i.e., O(N). We will discuss the applications of our code in the context of cosmological simulations as well as numerical experiments for galaxy formation.

  • We investigate the pair fractions of dark matter halos and galaxies in cosmological simulations. The cosmological simulations are performed by a tree-particle-mesh code GOTPM (Grid-of-Oct-Tree-Particle-Mesh) and the dark matter halos are identified by a halo finding algorithm PSB (Physically Self-Bound). The 'galaxy' pair fractions are obtained from galaxy catalogues of L-Galaxies semi-analytical galaxy formation runs in the Millennium database. We present and compare the pair fractions of the dark matter halos and galaxies as functions of redshifts, halo masses and ambient environments.

  • In this paper, a new scheme to improve both the capacity and distortion performance for error-prediction method is proposed. For every triangle mesh, two vertices were selected to predict the rest vertex, and the prediction error distances which were vertical and paralleled to the edge between these two vertices would be used to embed two units of secret date amount. We sort the meshes before embedding according to predicted error in order to decrease the distortion. Experiment results show that our approach increase the capacity and decrease the distortion as compared to the original algorithm.

  • In this paper, indium reduced materials for transparent conductive electrodes (TCE) were fabricated and their physical properties were evaluated. Two of materials, indium-zinc-tin oxide (IZTO) and aluminum (Al) were selected as TCE materials. In case of IZTO nanoparticles, composition ratios of In, Zn and Sn is 8:1:1 were synthesized. Size of the synthesized IZTO nanoparticles were less than 10 nm, and specific surface areas were about $90m^2/g$ indicating particle sizes are very fine. Also, the IZTO nanoparticles were well crystallized with (222) preferred orientation despite it was synthesized at the lowered temperature of $300^{\circ}C$. Composition ratios of In, Zn and Sn were very uniform in accordance with those as designed. Meanwhile, Al was deposited onto glass by sputtering in a vacuum chamber for mesh architecture. The Al was well deposited onto the glass, and no pore was observed from the Al surface. The sheet resistance of Al on glass was about $0.3{\Omega}/{\square}$ with small deviation of $0.025{\Omega}/{\square}$, and adhesion was good on the glass substrate since no pelt-off part of Al was observed by tape test. If the Al mesh is combined with ink coated layer which is consistent of IZTO nanoparticles, it is expected that the good and reliable metal mesh architecture for TCE will be formed.

  • A radially retractable roof structure based on the concept of the hybrid grid shell is proposed in this paper. The single-layer steel trusses of the radially foldable bar structure are diagonally stiffened by cables, which leads to a single-layer lattice shell with triangular mesh. Then comparison between the static behavior between the retractable hybrid grid shell and the corresponding foldable bar shell with quadrangular mesh is discussed. Moreover, the effects of different structural parameters, such as the rise-to-span ratio, the bar cross section area and the pre-stress of the cables, on the structural behaviors are investigated. The results show that prestressed cables can strengthen the foldable bar shell with quadrangular mesh. Higher structural stiffness is anticipated by introducing cables into the hybrid system. When the rise-span ratio is equal to 0.2, where the joint displacement reaches the minimal value, the structure shape of the hyrbid grid shell approaches the reasonable arch axis. The increase of the section of steel bars contributes a lot to the integrity stiffness of the structure. Increasing cable sections would enhance the structure stiffness, but it contributes little to axial forces in structural members. And the level of cable prestress has slight influence on the joint displacements and member forces.

  • When various types of traffic streams are offered to a common trunk group, we develop an optimal dimensioning procedure using the alternate routing principle and verify our model by a simulation model. Our method reduces the total network cost by about 10%, compared with the full-mesh system.
