This study aims to determine the rigidity of cylindrical honeycomb cores under static radial loads via linear finite element analysis. Two numerical cylindrical honeycomb models are demonstrated: one satisfies the radial core height alignment condition with distorted core walls; the other cancels the distortion of core walls, but its core height is not completely aligned with the radial direction. The geometrical differences between the models are small. However, our analyses not only reveal clear differences in rigidity but also demonstrate that the differences in rigidity depended on the constraint conditions applied on the models. These results imply that cylindrical honeycomb cores can be applied in the mechanical components that undergo radial loads, such as vehicle tires, robotic rovers, bearings, and liquid containers.","PeriodicalId":41942,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Simulation in Science and Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67360998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper addresses a fusion visualization of vorticity fields and riverine water maps by combining satellite-derived ocean-color images and simulated velocity fields using a high-resolution ocean model. Our visualization successfully described the transportation of low-sa-linity riverine water from the Yoshino River through the Naruto Strait. The cloudy white riverine water separated from the river plume in Kii Channel and easily passed through the strait owing to the flood current that formed a mushroom vortex. Meanwhile, the high-salinity clear water from the Harima-Nada Sea could horizontally mix in the strong vorticity fields generated by the ebb current after passing the strait. Our fusion visualization is capable of evaluating the transportation and mixing of riverine water through narrow straits.","PeriodicalId":41942,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Simulation in Science and Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67361154","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To improve the performance of organic photovoltaics, we investigate an integrated device design in which the hybrid antireflection structure, composed of a surface moth-eye nanotexture and a multilayer interference film, is applied with a high-refractive-index glass substrate. The moth eye texture with a relatively long period, which is near the bandgap wavelength of organic semiconductors, is used to enhance light absorption. We perform the optical finite-difference time-domain simulation for the integrated device and find the optimal layer configuration of the multilayer interference film to maximize the photocurrent generation. In addition, we compare the absorption spectrum of the integrated device and that of the device with only moth eye coating, and show that the integrated structure is beneficial to re-alize a high level of absorption relatively uniformly as function of wavelength.","PeriodicalId":41942,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Simulation in Science and Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.15748/jasse.7.82","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67361588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current distribution in the electromagnet is optimized by using the genetic-algorithm based on-o ff method so as to maximize the acceleration performance of the Superconducting Linear Acceleration (SLA) system. In the SLA system, a pellet container is accelerated by the interaction between a shielding current density and an applied magnetic field. By using the equivalent-circuit model, the distribution of the shielding current density is approximated as a set of the multiple current loops. In contrast, the current distribution in the electromagnet is represented by means of the on-o ff method. As the method for optimizing the current distribution in the electromagnet, two types of genetic algorithms are adopted. The results of computations show that the pellet velocity for the optimized current distribution is 1.3 times as fast as that for the homogeneous current distribution.","PeriodicalId":41942,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Simulation in Science and Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67361085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, a visual analytics system that are used to analyze the causal relationship between fishing catches data in adjacent sea areas is proposed. By using the proposed system, the distribution of sea surface temperature is visualized so that the sea areas can be divided accordingly. Next, the daily fishing e ffi ciency in each sea area are calculated and the convergent cross mapping is used to analyze the causality between the data in adjacent sea areas. The experimental results show that the possible causation between the data in two of the divided sub sea areas are detected. In addition, the causal variable can be further identified by referring to the prediction skills.","PeriodicalId":41942,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Simulation in Science and Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67361212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Carbon fiber reinforced plastic composites (CFRP) exhibit complex failure mechanisms because they include fiber – matrix and interlaminar interfaces. Detailed modeling of fi-bers, matrices, and interfaces for conducting accurate progressive damage analysis requires large-scale finite element models. We developed parallel finite element analysis software, that can simulate failure of large-scale CFRP models including interfaces using cohesive elements. We verified the software comparing with proven commercial software. In addition, we validated the software using double cantilever beam tests. The simulation result agrees well with the experimental one. The software can analyze progressive interface damage of large-scale models with more than 77 million degrees of freedom.","PeriodicalId":41942,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Simulation in Science and Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.15748/jasse.7.1","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67360318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Basic logistics networks such as centralized, de-centralized, and complex models were simulated using the well-defined electrical circuit models. The results show that theoretical logistical behavior can be simulated using electrical circuit models and converted simulation block models, confirming the similarity between flow of logistics and current distribution in electrical circuit.","PeriodicalId":41942,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Simulation in Science and Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67360817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effects of traffic flow improvements were compared in terms of real traffic data by using the level of congestion, throughput, and average duration time criteria. A current situation and a situation with smart tolling were considered in order to ensure the reliability of the results. The simulation consisted of eight scenarios, the error rates were checked with 30 replications, and the error rates were noted to be lower than 0.5%. The scenarios were catego-rized by vehicle speeds that could affect subsequent vehicles. The smart tolling model was better than the current model overall. In particular, the results of comparing lifelike scenario 1 and scenario 8 with smart tolling are key. The results showed that the level of congestion and average duration time could be decreased to approximately 46%. With regard to the results, there are significant impacts on improving traffic flow while maintaining five lanes, unlike in the current model.","PeriodicalId":41942,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Simulation in Science and Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67360944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
