In this paper, we present a method to visualize the contact region between two molecules in a protein complex in a threedimensional space. The contact region of two molecules shows compatibility in geometric aspects. Usually, the computation of the area of contact region has been used to show the strength of compatibility. The numerical value and simple drawing of contact region would be useful for comparing the relative strength of different contacts, but it is not appropriate for analysing the geometric characteristics of the contact region. In this paper, we present a method to show the compatibility between two molecules by visualizing the distance information between them.

열탄성 부영역, 열탄점소성/손상 부영역, 공유면, 접촉 공유면에 기반을 둔 영역/경계 분할법을 적용하여 재료 비선형성을 갖는 열탄점소성 손상 문제와 경계 비선형성을 갖는 접촉 문제의 효율적인 해석을 제안하였다. 영역 및 경계 분할에 관련된 공유면 및 접촉 공유면에서의 연속 구속 조건을 처리하기 위하여 간단한 벌칙 함수 기법을 적용하였다. 결과적으로 재료 및 경계 비선형성은 소수의 부영역과 접촉 경계면에서 계산되는 유한요소 행렬들에 국한된다. 따라서 적절한 해석 알고리듬을 구성하면 대폭적인 효율성 향상이 가능하게 된다. 대변형과 같은 기하학적 비선형성은 고려하지 않았으며, 간단한 수치 실험을 통해서 열탄점소성 손상 및 접촉 해석의 효율성에 관련된 기본적인 특성을 분석하였다.

본 논문에서는 열탄점소성 손상과 접촉 문제의 효율적인 해석을 위하여 적응성 영역/경계 분할법을 제안하였다. 적응성 영역/경계 분할법은 시간 증분 또는 반복 기법 단계에서 열탄점소성 손상과 같은 재료 비선형성을 감안하여 부영역을 재설정하며, 접촉에 따른 경계 비선형성은 경계면을 통하여 부영역으로부터 독립적으로 분할한다. 분할된 각각의 부영역과 경계면을 기준으로 유한요소 정식화를 수행하며, 공유면 및 접촉 공유면의 연속 구속 조건을 처리하기 위하여 벌칙 함수 기법을 적용하였다. 결과적으로 재료 및 경계 비선형성은 일부 부영역과 접촉 경계면에서 계산되는 유한요소 행렬에 국한된다. 수치 실험을 통하여 적응성 해석 알고리듬의 기본적인 특성과 효율성 향상에 대하여 분석하였다.

A domain/boundary decomposition technique is applied to carry out efficient finite element analyses of 3-D contact problems. Appropriate penalty functions are selected for connecting an interface and contact interfaces with neighboring subdomains that satisfy continuity constraints. As a consequence, all the effective stiffness matrices have positive definiteness, and computational efficiency can be improved to a considerable degree. If necessary, any complex-shaped 3-D domain can be divided into several simple-shaped subdomains without considering the conformity of meshes along the interface. With a set of numerical examples, the basic characteristics of computational efficiency are investigated carefully.

In this paper, we propose a method to visualize the geometric features of the contact region between proteins in a protein complex. When proteins or ligands are represented as curved surfaces with irregularities, the property that the two surfaces contact each other without intersections is called shape compatibility. Protein-Protein or Protein-Ligand docking researches have shown that shape complementarity, chemical properties, and entropy play an important role in finding contact regions. Usually, after finding a region with high shape complementarity, we can predict the contact region by using residual polarity and hydrophobicity of amino acids belonging to this region. In the research for predicting the contact region, it is necessary to investigate the geometrical features of the contact region in known protein complexes. For this purpose, it is essential to visualize the geometric features of the molecular surface. In this paper, we propose a method to find the contact region, and visualize the geometric features of it as normal vectors and mean curvatures of the protein complex.

A domain/boundary decomposition method is applied for efficient analyses of thermo-elasto-viscoplastic damage and contact problems under the assumption of infinitesimal deformation. For the decomposition of a whole domain and contact boundaries, all the equality constraints on the interface and contact interfaces are restated with simple penalty functional. Therefore, the non-linearity of the problem is localized within finite element matrices in a few subdomains and on contact interfaces. By setting up suitable solution algorithms, the computational efficiency can be improved considerably. The general tendency of the computational efficiency is illustrated with some numerical experiments.

new domain/boundary decomposition method is suggested to perform efficient finite element analyses of contact problems. A penalty method is used for connecting an interface or contact interfaces with neighboring subdomains that satisfy continuity conditions. As a result, the derived effective stiffness matrices are always positive definite, and computational efficiency can be improved to a considerable degree. Moreover, any complex-shaped domain can be divided into independently modeled subdomains without considering the conformity of meshes along the interface. Using a computer code based on the present method, these advantageous features are confirmed through a set of numerical examples.

Subdomain-interface variational formulation is presented to solve a class of dynamic contact problems of composite structures. The penalty method is used for imposing inequality constraints on contact surfaces and for connecting finite element subdomains that satisfy interface compatibility conditions. As a result, any complex-shaped domain can be easily divided into independently modeled subdomains without considering the conformity of meshes on interfaces. Some advantageous features of the present method are shown through a set a numerical studies with a developed computer code.

The contact binary system has been classified in five different types according to their physical properties. We suggest that extremely small mass ratio contact binary systems(q＜0.2) could be classified as a new type of contact binaries in addition to the classification. According to the Svechnikov & Kuznetsova (1990)'s catalogue, the spectral types of primary components of newly classified contact binaries are distributed at A type, and also the distribution of their various physical characteristics is laid at the center region dividing the early-type contact binaries from late-type contact binaries.
