Transformations of dynamical systems are discussed in terms of adjoint, simple adjoint and weak adjoint functors. The relevance of this approach to interpretations of nuclear transplant experiments is suggested, and three new theorems concerning the development of biological systems are presented. Another three theorems concerning adjoint dyna-mical systems are proved. The connection of these r...

This paper reports the evaluation and benchmark results of vehicle crash simulations using high-performance computer systems, which is well suited for addressing some of the above-mentioned computational and user requirements. In this paper, two large size vehicle models are used in this benchmark study for a typical industrial standard crashworthiness application, The performance related issue...

It is a very important task to construct life-saving passage in building ruins rapidly and scientifically the process of earthquake rescue. Currently, virtual scene built train rescuers quickly scientifically. However, there are problems such as high cost, small quantity, single form. A new method constructing was proposed based on combined finite element (FE) finite-discrete (F-DE) restarted f...

in this paper, numerical simulation of frp composite cylinder tubes progressive crushing processes is conducted using ls-dyna. details on the numerical modeling strategy are given and discussed. it is found that triggers introduced in the numerical simulation can effectively model the bevel trigger at the end of the tubular specimens. it is also found that two-layer finite element model based o...

Wrinkling and fracture are the important defects in deep drawing operation, which can be prevented using blank holding force (BHF) which has to be optimized as lower BHF promotes wrinkles formation and higher BHF promotes fracturing. Hence the limits of wrinkling and fracture have to be established. These limits depend on various tooling and process parameters. In this work the effect of toolin...

A Reissner-Mindlin shell formulation based on a degenerated solid is implemented for NURBS-based isogeometric analysis. The performance of the approach is examined on a set of linear elastic and nonlinear elasto-plastic benchmark examples. The analyses were performed with LS-DYNA, an industrial, general-purpose finite element code, for which a user-defined shell element capability was implement...
