In this paper, we first investigate mechanisms of nanotube-based co-axial oscillators based on molecular dynamics simulation. If an oscillator is an isolated system, stable oscillations of the inner tube inside of the outer tube can be observed with high oscillatory frequencies. We also study the interlayer friction between the outer tube and the inner tube when nano-oscillators are at finite temperatures. Based on the above studies, we propose to design a nanoelectromechanical oscillator system, which can provide stable oscillation. In addition, we propose the first numerical study of nanotube-based resonant oscillators via a new multiscale method.

We propose a multiscale method to study nanotube-based resonant oscillators. In the multiscale model, nanotubes are modeled via molecular dynamics, while the metal paddle is modeled as a rigid body. The molecular and continuum models are attached to each other through the interfaces on which carbon atoms are located. We employ the concepts of “virtual” atoms and bonds to effectively couple the molecular and continuum models. Using the proposed multiscale method, we investigate both linear and nonlinear characteristics of resonant oscillators. Effects of vacancy and temperature on mechanisms of oscillators are discussed.

A bridging domain method for coupling continuum models with molecular models is described. In this method, the continuum and molecular domains are overlapped in a bridging subdomain, where the Hamiltonian is taken to be a linear combination of the continuum and molecular Hamiltonians. We enforce the compatibility in the bridging domain by Lagrange multipliers or by the augmented Lagrangian method. An explicit algorithm for dynamic solutions is developed. In this paper, the bridging domain multiscale method is employed to study nanotube-based composites.

This paper presents the construction of 3D rapid prototyping (RP) physical models for computer tomography (CT) medical images. By using STL (Stereo Lithography) triangular meshes as basis for 3D construction, the process for RP model construction can be simplified via point data without turning them into curves. Grey prediction theory is used to sort out contour point data in each layer of the medical image. Using contour difference detection operation, the sequence is completed operation through the cross-sectional contours. The 3D solid model constructed via layer by layer meshes is to build the STL file. After saving as STL file, 3D solid model of the medical image is displayed with RP and its virtual reality presentation. Two case studies, human braincase and femur bone are used as case study for construction of 3D solid model with medical images. The method is successful and a number of steps are simplified. The two solid models are compared with curves swept-blend CAD models for analysis. The results show that differences between the two methods are in an acceptable range; therefore, it is shown that this method is feasible for reconstructing 3D models from CT medical images.

Due to the increasing complexity of embedded systems and software in vehicles, the automotive industry faces an increasing need for testing and verification of components and subsystems under realistic conditions. At the same time, development cycles must be shortened for vehicle manufacturers to be competitive on the global market, and an increased amount of testing and verification must thus be performed in less time. However, simply increasing the testing volume can be prohibitively costly, meaning that testing and verification processes must be made more efficient to reduce the need for more prototypes. This paper presents a concept for distributed testing and verification of vehicles in real-time, with the aim of improving testing and verification efficiency. Through a novel combination of software tools for distributed collaborative engineering, real-time simulation, visualization, and black box simulation, the realized system makes it possible for vehicle manufacturers and their subcontractors to work more concurrently and efficiently with testing and validation. An early implementation of a system prototype is described and future development plans for the system are presented. The main software components used to build up the system are ADAMS/Car RealTime, Matlab/Simulink and a Java-based real-time visualization module originally developed for the gaming industry. A main benefit of the concept is that different disciplines involved in the product development process can use the system to enhance the concurrency between them. Control systems and mechanical engineers can view ongoing tests in real-time and change designs, and efficiently re-simulate and influence ongoing tests in a distributed manner. Through advanced visualization of simulation results and measurement data, engineers can get a clearer view of how the system or product behaves, thereby improving the quality of the validation process. The concept for distributed real-time simulation and visual

Based on the physical background, a new dislocation dynamics model fully incorporating the interaction among differential dislocation segments is developed to simulate 3D dislocation motion in crystals. As the numerical simulation results demonstrate, this new model completely solves the long-standing problem that simulation results are heavily dependent on dislocation-segment lengths in the classical dislocation dynamics theory. The proposed model is applied to simulate the effect of dislocations on the mechanical performance of thin films. The interactions among the dislocation loops, free surface and interfaces are rigorously computed by a decomposition method. This framework can be used to simulate how a surface loop evolves into two threading dislocations and to determine the critical thickness of thin films. Furthermore, the relationship between the film thickness and yield strength is established and compared with the conventional Hall-Petch relation.
