Modeling helps explain the fundamental physics hidden behind experimental data. In the case of material modeling, running one simulation rarely results in output that reproduces the experimental data. Often one or more of the force field parameters are not precisely known and must be optimized for the output to match that of the experiment. Since the simulations require high performance computing...
This paper discusses numerical experiments by the fast computation method of hydraulic robot dynamics. This paper shows a new proposed model with a special nondmensional representation which is based on the proposed model. The four methods are compared with each other with respect to computation time.
Medical training systems often require the use of haptic interaction with deformable models and high visual fidelity. It is necessary to get a compromise between the geometric model and the deformation model in order to achieve the required frame rate for haptic interaction of 1000Hz. Frequently low level geometric models are used to describe the geometry of the object. This produces large data structures...
Magnetic nanoparticles are widely utilized in smart materials, the most well-known application being magnetorheological fluids. In this paper, a comprehensive numerical model of magnetic nanoparticles and the carrier fluid interactions is presented. The soft sphere model approach is adopted to simulate the nanoparticle interactions at a coarse molecular level, with the consideration of both contact...
In this work we propose a framework for data-driven crowd simulation starting from a small set of trajectories. To model the macroscopic behavior, our method extracts pedestrian trajectories from real videos, clusters all trajectories of pedestrians who intend to reach the same goal, and computes the velocity field associated with each exit region in the scene to guide virtual agents toward their...
Nowadays, numerous Zakat Calculation Platforms (ZCP) are in continuous incremental progress due to the high demands on such Islamic platforms. The multitude of these ZCP platforms, although it has advantages, it also presents a number of disadvantages. Actually, over the past few years, we can see the enormous increase of the use of these platforms that presents a number of disadvantages viz; they...

Force computations are one of the most time consuming part in performing Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. Adaptively Restrained Molecular Dynamics (ARMD) makes it possible to perform fewer force calculations by adaptively restraining particles positions. This paper introduces parallel algorithms for single-pass incremental force computations to take advantage of adaptive restraints using the Message...
This paper presents an extended mobile lattice gas model allowing pedestrian's variable step size and reveals the effects of various walking step size on pedestrian evacuation. The possible sizes are scanned before determining the moving directions and the impacts of the step size on pedestrian's path selection are considered. The evacuation process of pedestrians from a room with an exit is simulated...
Cavitation nozzle is the core component of cavitation generator. It promotes cavitation by its internal special structure, producing bubble and improving the impact force of jet. The structural characteristics directly affect the quality of the cavitation jet. Therefore, the study of internal structure of nozzle is helpful to improve the performance of nozzle. Based on CFD software, taking the Helmholtz...
For an unmanned marine vehicles, the calculations of its resistance under the water and hydrodynamic coefficients are necessary and important work. For the complexity of the fluid around autonomous underwater vehicles(AUV), the kinematic and dynamic model of underwater vehicles are highly nonlinear and coupled so that the hydrodynamic performance are hardly to be obtained. With the help of computational...

We anticipate the model will be useful to experimentalists in understanding...
Current methods in robot-assisted therapy are limited in providing predictions of the effectiveness of interventions. Our approach focuses on how robotic interaction can impact the distribution of movements expressed in the arm. Using data from a previous study with stroke survivors (n=10), we performed simulations to examine how changes in hand endpoint impedance would alter exploratory motion. We...
The mechanical advantages of bio-inspired condylar robotic knee joints for use in prosthetics or rehabilitation has been argued extensively in literature. A common limitation of these designs is the difficulty of estimating joint angle and therefore accurately controlling the joint. Furthermore, the potential role of ligament-like structures in robotic knees is not very well established. In this work,...
