Abstract In order to evaluate transportation policies quantitatively, virtual social experiments using traffic simulators are adequate. In particular, simulators with features of both precision and scalability are preferable for applications to real-world and wide-spread traffic phenomena. In this research, we tried to parallelize a multi-agent-based traffic simulator (ADVENTURE_Mates) and enhance its parallelization performance. In the simulator, a road map is modeled as a graph and cars are modeled as autonomous agents. A car agent acquires information from its circumference (other cars, traffic lights, etc.), makes a decision autonomously, and acts based on the decision. The precision… More >

Abstract In this work, a bond-based peridynamics (PD) model was built to analyze the dynamic fracture of shale material. Both the the convergence studies and the result of dynamic crack propagation were presented. As well-known, crack propagation, aggregation, and bifurcation play an critical role in the failure analysis of brittle materials such as shale. The dynamic crack propagation and branching analysis of shale by using the PD method were discussed. Firstly, the valid and accuracy of the PD model for the rock materials was verified by comparing with the existed numerical results. Secondly, we discussed the More >

Abstract With the rapid development of information technology and the explosive growth of data, the scale of storage equipment is growing rapidly. The high energy consumption storage devices have become a serious problem for data centers. For data storage, the model of sequential data access a storage system is commonly used. Aiming at the characteristics of a sequential data storage system, this paper, we propose a structure, named Adapted to Dynamic Load based on Redundant Array Independent Disks (ADL-RAID) which is an effective energy-saving data layout for dynamic loads based on the existing Semi-Redundant Array Independent… More >

Abstract This paper presents form finding and collapse analysis of cable net structure under strong wind using the finite particle method (FPM). As a kind of particle method, the theoretical fundamentals of the FPM are given. Methods to handle geometric and material nonlinearities of cable element are proposed. The fracture criterion and model for cable element are built to simulate the failure of cable nets. The form-finding and load analysis of two cable nets are then performed in order to initialize the successive of nonlinear analysis. The failure progress of cable nets under dynamic loads is More >

Abstract This paper presents a dynamic analysis of an anti-plane crack in functionally graded piezoelectric semiconductors. General boundary conditions and sample geometry are allowed in the proposed formulation. The coupled governing partial differential equations (PDEs) for shear stresses, electric displacement field and current are satisfied in a local weak-form on small fictitious subdomains. The derived local integral equations involve one order lower derivatives than the original PDEs. All field quantities are approximated by the moving least-squares (MLS) scheme. After performing spatial integrations, we obtain a system of ordinary differential equations for the involved nodal unknowns. It More >

Abstract This paper deals with the implementation of the local meshless numerical method (LMM) on general purpose graphics processing units (GPU) in solving partial differential equations (PDE). The local meshless solution procedure is formulated in a way suitable for parallel execution and has been implemented on multiple GPUs. The implementation is tested on a solution of diffusion equation in a 2D domain. Different setups of the meshless approach regarding the selection of basis functions are tested on an interval up to 2.5 million of computational points. It is shown that monomials are a good selection of More >

Abstract In this paper, a new iterative regularization method (ITR) is presented to solve the reconstruction of multi-source dynamic loads acting on the structure of simple supported plate. Based on a quadratical convergence method, this method is used to compute the the approximate inverse of square matrix. The theoretical proofs and numerical test show that the proposed method is very effective. Finally, the present method is applied to the identification of the multi-source dynamic loads on a surface of simply supported plate. Numerical simulations of two examples demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the present method. More >

Abstract In this article, the transient response in a functionally graded material (FGM) slab is analyzed by Laplace transform technique. The numerical Laplace inversion (Durbin's formula) is used to calculate the dynamic behavior of the FGM slab. The slab is subjected an uniform loading at the upper surface, and the lower surface are assumed to be traction-free or fixed conditions. The analytical solutions are presented in the transform domain and the numerical Laplace inversion is performed to obtain the transient response in time domain. To take the accuracy and computational efficiency in consideration, Durbin's method is More >

Abstract In this paper, a new homotopy perturbation method (IHPM) is presented and suggested to solve an ill-posed problem of multi-source dynamic loads reconstruction. We propose a stable and reliable modification, and obtain a new regularization method, then employ it to find the exact solution for the multi-source dynamic load identification problem. Also, this present method only needs easy computations rather than successive integrations. Finally, the performances of two numerical examples are given. Comparisons are performed between the original homotopy perturbation method (HPM) and IHPM. The results verify that the present method is very simple and More >

Abstract Material point method(MPM) is a promising method in solving problems involving large deformations, especially explosion and penetration. In MPM, particles can move around the computing domain dynamically, which can result in load imbalance easily. In parallelizing MPM using OpenMP, data races will occur in the stage of grid node updating if we use loop-level parallelism for these loops. Huang et al. proposed a domain decomposition method to overcome data races [Huang, Zhang, Ma and Wang (2008)]. However, significant modifications of the original serial code are required. In this paper, we proposed a new alternated grid More >
