An introduction to TMN

The Telecommunication Management Network standard (ITU-T M.3010), the Network Magagement Forum OMNIPoint program, and many related developments are summarized. TMN and OMNIPoint are presented as a means to achieve integrated network management in the telecommunications industry by calling for all management systems to include an interoperable interface which permits each system to be integrated into a larger management hierarchy. By means of such interfaces, hierarchical integration of management systems can be achieved within the administration of a single service provider. Interoperable interfaces also make possible the interconnection of multiple service providers and the connection of customer to service provider, resulting in the possibility of industry wide integration of management infrastructures at all levels.     

Contact Stability Analysis of a One Degree-of-Freedom Robot

The aim of this note is to examine the conditions of stability of a simple robotic task: we consider a one degree-of-freedom (dof) robot that collides with a spring-like environment with stiffness k, the goal being to stabilize the system in contact with the environment. We study conditions on the feedback gains that guarantee quadratic Lyapunov stability of the task with a well-conditioned solution to the Lyapunov equation. It is shown that when the environment's stiffness k grows unbounded, those conditions yield unbounded values of the gains. Motivated by the stability analysis of the impact Poincaré map in the perfectly rigid case ( ), we propose an analysis that is independent of k. It enables us to conclude on global asymptotic convergence of the system's state towards the equilibrium point. This work can also be seen as the study of stability of a contact (force control) phase, taking into account the unilateral feature of the constraint.     

Implementation of a strain energy-based nonlinear finite element in the object-oriented environment

The objective of the paper is to describe a novel finite element computational method based on a strain energy density function and to implement it in the object-oriented environment. The original energy-based finite element was put into the known standard framework of classes and handled in a different manner. The nonlinear properties of material are defined with a modified strain energy density function. The local relaxation procedure proposed as a method used to resolve a nonlinear problem is implemented in C++ language. The hexahedral element with eight nodes as well as the adaptation of the nonlinear finite element is introduced. The chosen numerical model is made of nearly incompressible hyperelastic material. The application of the proposed element is shown on the example of a rectangular parallelepiped with a hollow port.     

基坑开挖对邻近建筑物影响的数值模拟

基坑开挖引起的近邻建筑物沉降变形是多种因素耦合作用的结果,现有的计算理论很难考虑这种多因素的耦合作用。针对这一问题,采用大型工程软件ADINA对锚杆支护形式下基坑开挖引起的近邻建筑物沉降问题进行了数值模拟分析,得出了一些基本结论:建筑物的沉降在宽度方向变化显著,在长度和高度方向变化不明显;建筑物的水平位移在高度方向变化显著,在长度和宽度方向变化不明显,基础埋得越深对沉降的影响越小,在开挖到基础标高之前,建筑物沉降不大,当开挖到标高以后,沉降发展很快,因此在实际施工时,基础标高以上可以加快开挖速度,标高以下需要放慢开挖速度。对于结构设计而言,应该在基础以下进行加固处理,以减小由基底附加应力产生的较大沉降。

The geometric element transformation method for mixed mesh smoothing

The geometric element transformation method (GETMe) is a geometry-based smoothing method for mixed and non-mixed meshes. It is based on a simple geometric transformation applicable to elements bounded by polygons with an arbitrary number of nodes. The transformation, if applied iteratively, leads to a regularization of the polygons. Global mesh smoothing is accomplished by averaging the new node positions obtained by local element transformations. Thereby, the choice of transformation parameters as well as averaging weights can be based on the element quality which leads to high quality results. In this paper, a concept of an enhanced transformation approach is presented and a proof for the regularizing effect of the transformation based on eigenpolygons is given. Numerical examples confirm that the GETMe approach leads to superior mesh quality if compared to other geometry-based methods. In terms of quality it can even compete with optimization-based techniques, despite being conceptually significantly simpler.     

Algorithm,software, and hardware optimizations for Delaunay mesh generation on simultaneous multithreaded architectures

This article focuses on the optimization of PCDM, a parallel, two-dimensional (2D) Delaunay mesh generation application, and its interaction with parallel architectures based on simultaneous multithreading (SMT) processors. We first present the step-by-step effect of a series of optimizations on performance. These optimizations improve the performance of PCDM by up to a factor of six. They target issues that very often limit the performance of scientific computing codes. We then evaluate the interaction of PCDM with a real SMT-based SMP system, using both high-level metrics, such as execution time, and low-level information from hardware performance counters.     

Worst case bounds on the point-wise discretization error in boundary element method for the elasticity problem

In this work, point-wise discretization error is bounded via interval approach for the elasticity problem using interval boundary element formulation. The formulation allows for computation of the worst case bounds on the boundary values for the elasticity problem. From these bounds the worst case bounds on the true solution at any point in the domain of the system can be computed. Examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the treatment of local discretization error in elasticity problem via interval methods.
