This paper uses quasi-steady molecular statics model and diamond tool to carry out simulation temperature rise of nanoscale orthogonal cutting single-crystal silicon. It further qualitatively analyzes temperature field of silicon workpiece without considering heat transfer and considering heat transfer. This paper supposes that the temperature rise of workpiece is mainly caused by two heat sour...

This paper presents the development of an interactive and user-friendly environment for simulation and control of flexible manipulator systems. A constrained planer single-link flexible manipulator is considered. A simulation algorithm characterising the dynamic behaviour of the manipulator is developed using finite difference methods. Several open-loop and closed-loop control strategies are de...

In this article we develop a finite difference (FDFD) method to compute the band spectra of 2D photonic crystals without impurities. Exploiting periodicity to identify discretization points differing by a period, the computational complexity of the algorithms is reduced significantly. Numerical results on three test problems are presented.

We present a new approach for calculating anharmonic corrections to vibrational frequency calculations. The vibrational wavefunction is modelled using translated Hermite functions thus allowing anharmonic effects to be incorporated directly into the wavefunction whilst still retaining the simplicity of the Hermite basis. We combine this new method with an optimised finite-difference grid for co...
