  • IT technologies(Chips, Grid and e-Science) are rapidly changed from 1965. In 1965, Intel co-founder Gordon Mooresaq the future. His prediction popularly known as Moore's law, state that the computer chips double in power every 18 months Grid computing offers a model for solving massive computational problems by making use of the unused resources of large numbers of disparate, often desktop, computers treated as a virtual cluster embedded in a distributed telecommunications infrastructure. In this paper, I will discuss current status of supercomputing technology and haw we can use these on CFD. Functionally, one can classify Grids into several types:

  • Creep and shrinkage have pronounced effects on the long-term deflection of prestressed concrete members. Under repeated loading, the rate of creep in prestressed concrete members is often accelerated. In this paper, an iterative computational procedure based on the well known Model B3 for creep and shrinkage was developed to predict the time-dependent deflection of partially prestressed concrete members. The developed model was validated using the experimental observed deflection behavior of a simply supported partially prestressed concrete beam under repeated loading. The validated model was then employed to make predictions of the long-term deflection of the prestressed beams under a variety of conditions (e.g., water cement ratio, relatively humidity and time at drying). The simulation results demonstrate that ignoring creep and shrinkage could lead to significant underestimation of the long-term deflection of a prestressed concrete member. The model will prove useful in reducing the long-term deflection of the prestressed concrete members via the optimal selection of a concrete mix and prestressing forces.

  • Agent-based modeling and simulation (ABMS) is a computational method for analyzing research targets through observations of agent-to-agent interactions, and can be applied to multidimensional policy experiments in various fields of social sciences to support policy and decision making. Recently, according to increasing complexity of society and the rapid growth of collected data, the need for high-speed processing is considered to be more important in this field. For this reason, in the ABMS research field, a scalable and large-scale computing infrastructure is becoming an essential element, and cloud computing has been considered a promising infrastructure of ABMS. This paper surveys the technology trends of ABMS tools, cloud computing-based modeling, and simulation studies, and forecasts the use of cloud-computing infrastructure for future modeling and simulation tools. Although fundamental studies are underway to apply and operate cloud computing in the areas of modeling and simulation, new and additional studies are required to devise an optimal cloud computing infrastructure to satisfy the needs of large-scale ABMS.

  • In this work, a comparative study of multi-objective meta-heuristics (MOMHs) for optimum design of a walking tractor handlebar is conducted in order to reduce the structural mass and increase structural static and dynamic stiffness. The design problem has objective functions as maximising structural natural frequencies, minimising structural mass, bending deflection and torsional deflection with stress constraints. The problem is classified as a many-objective optimisation since there are more than three objectives. Design variables are structural shape and size. Several well established multi-objective optimisers are employed to solve the proposed many-objective optimisation problems of the walking tractor handlebar. The results are compared whereas optimum design solutions of the walking tractor handlebar are illustrated.

  • Motion generation of a four-bar linkage is a type of mechanism synthesis that has a wide range of applications such as a pick-and-place operation in manufacturing. In this research, the use of meta-heuristics for motion generation of a four-bar linkage is demonstrated. Three problems of motion generation were posed as a constrained optimization probably using the weighted sum technique to handle two types of tracking errors. A simple penalty function technique was used to deal with design constraints while three meta-heuristics including differential evolution (DE), self-adaptive differential evolution (JADE) and teaching learning based optimization (TLBO) were employed to solve the problems. Comparative results and the effect of the constraint handling technique are illustrated and discussed.

  • e-AIRS, an abbreviation of ‘e-Aerospace Integrated Research System’, is a virtual organization designed to support the aerospace engineering processes in the e-Science environment. As the first step toward a virtual aerospace engineering organization, the e-AIRS intends to give a full support to aerodynamic research processes. Currently, the e-AIRS can handle both the computational and experimental aerodynamic researches on the e-Science infrastructure. In detail, users can conduct the full CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) research processes, request wind tunnel experiments, perform the comparative analysis between computational and experimental resultants and finally collaborate with other researchers using the web portal. The current paper will describe those functions and the internal architecture of the e-AIRS system.
