Modelling of self-piercing riveting with ale, cel and sph based on abaqus/explicit
SPR (Self-piercing riveting) is a cold forming process that is used to fasten together two or more sheets of different materials mechanically with a rivet. Also SPR emulates the results and quality of spot welding without many of the risks, such as toxic fumes, sparks and noise. Thus circumstanced, this technique is widely used on the various filed especially within automobile industry. SPR, in particular, is excellent for lightweight manufacturing and for precise working while dramatically reducing cost and production time. The process deformation depends on the sheet size, shape of die, material flow, stiffness, etc. Also material deformation in both of rivet and workpiece sheets is tremendous large, for instance thinning, necking, shear and penetration. Therefore it is very hard to analyze this forming process with FEM which uses normal stress element formulation due to the collapse. On the other hand, Abaqus/Explicit has superb analysis methods, for example ALE, CEL and SPH[1]. This paper investigates several Abaqus/Explicit modeling techniques for simulating and optimizing SPR process. In addition, the effectiveness of these analysis methods was discussed and compared for evaluating SPR process forming in order to achieve an optimal die, material properties and suitability of deformations
CiNCT: Compression and retrieval for massive vehicular trajectories via relative movement labeling
In this paper, we present a compressed data structure for moving object
trajectories in a road network, which are represented as sequences of road
edges. Unlike existing compression methods for trajectories in a network, our
method supports pattern matching and decompression from an arbitrary position
while retaining a high compressibility with theoretical guarantees.
Specifically, our method is based on FM-index, a fast and compact data
structure for pattern matching. To enhance the compression, we incorporate the
sparsity of road networks into the data structure. In particular, we present
the novel concepts of relative movement labeling and PseudoRank, each
contributing to significant reductions in data size and query processing time.
Our theoretical analysis and experimental studies reveal the advantages of our
proposed method as compared to existing trajectory compression methods and
FM-index variants
Free Field Realization of D-brane in Group Manifold
We construct the boundary state for the D-brane in the SU(2) group manifold
directly in terms of the group variables. We propose a matching condition for
the left- and the right-moving sectors including the zero modes that describes
a D-brane of the Neumann-type. The free field realization of the WZW model is
used to obtain the boundary state subject to the matching condition. We show
that the resulting state coincides with Cardy's state. The structure of the
BRST cohomology is realized by imposing the invariance of the state under the
Weyl group of the current algebra.Comment: 23 pages, latex2e with amsmat
