In this paper, we propose a hash-chain based friendly force identification protocol for personal combatants equipped with a personal combat system in a tactical wireless network. It is imperative in military operations to effectively and quickly identify friendly forces. If the identification of friendly forces is not correct, this can cause friendly fire. In current ground operations, the identification of friendly forces by personal combatants is neither secure nor safe. To address this issue, the proposed protocol uses a hash-chain to determine if a detected person is friendly. Only friendly forces with the same materials that are assigned before they deploy can construct an initial hash-chain. Moreover, the hash-chain is changed at specific times. The performance of the proposed protocol is evaluated on the assumption that the secret key is leaked, which is the worst scenario in the security research field. We verify that the proposed protocol is secure for the various attack scenarios, such as message replay attack, fabrication attack, and Denial of Service attack.

In the network function virtualization environment, dynamic changes in network traffic will lead to the dynamic changes of service function chain resource demand, which entails timely dynamic adjustment of service function chain resource configuration. At present, most researches solve this problem through virtual network function migration and link rerouting, and there exist some problems such as long service interruption time, excessive network operation cost and high penalty. This paper proposes a dynamic adjustment method of service function chain resource configuration for the dynamic changes of network traffic. First, a dynamic adjustment request of service function chain is generated according to the prediction of network traffic. Second, a dynamic adjustment strategy of service function chain resource configuration is determined according to substrate network resources. Finally, the resource configuration of a service function chain is pre-adjusted according to the dynamic adjustment strategy. Virtual network functions combination and virtual machine reusing are fully considered in this process. The experimental results show that this method can reduce the influence of service function chain resource configuration dynamic adjustment on quality of service, reduce network operation cost and improve the revenue of service providers.

This paper presents force-feedback control performance of a haptic device in virtual environment of minimally invasive surgery(MIS). As a first step, based on an electrorheological(ER) fluid and spherical geometry, a new type of master device is developed and integrated with a virtual environment of MIS such as a surgical tool and human organ. The virtual object is then mathematically formulated by adopting the shape retaining chain linked(S-Chain) model. After evaluating reflection force, computational time, and compatibility with real time control, the virtual environment of MIS is formulated by interactivity with the ER haptic device in real space. Tracking control performances for virtual force trajectory are presented in time domain, and theirtrackingerrorsareevaluated.

We developed a coarse-grained force field and have extended it to polystyrene with longer chain length. A systematic method was introduced and was utilized to explain how the coarse-grained force field for polystyrene could be developed from the atomistic simulation in the paper. We elected to use polystyrene with different chain lengths of 20, 40 and 80 monomers in this study. In three cases, we utilized the same new mapping scheme. The coarse-grained force field does reproduce the bond, angle, and radial distribution of the atomistic model. The coarse-grained model proved successful, as shown by analyses of the static and dynamic properties of different chain lengths.

Due to difficulty in minimally invasive surgery, training simulator is actively researched. A volumetric deformable organ is created by employing a shape-retaining chain-linked (S-chain) model to realize positioning a human organ model in virtual space. Since the main principle of the S-chain algorithm is that the repulsive force is proportional to the number of chain elements, the calculation time can be increased according to the magnitude of deformation. In this work, the advanced S-chain algorithm is used to calculate the repulsive torque according to spin motion. Finally, haptic architecture was constructed using this S-chain model by incorporating the virtual organ with a real master device, which allows the repulsive force and target position to be transferred to each other. The control performance of S-chain algorithm has been evaluated via experiment.

In this study, we investigated how the force-field, which is the most important factor to define atomic motion in molecular dynamics (MD), affects the motion of the polymer and gas molecules. The repeat units and the polymer structure were well simulated in all five force-fields, and the distribution of the polymer linear chain in the final polymer 3D model did not show any significant difference. However, the movement of actual gas molecules showed a very different tendency, which was also observed in COMPASS and pcff using the same functional form. Therefore, even if the same structure is used, it can be seen that the motion of the gas molecule moves under the influence of the force-field continuously over time, so that the effect is much larger than that of macromolecules such as a polymer linear chain. Accordingly, in case of using different force-fields, it is necessary to be very careful in comparison of those results.

Based on multi-body dynamic software RecurDyn, this paper proposes a modified form of timing silent chain system combing with the existing problem that vibration and chain tension is too large, which is applied for complicated conditions in a V-type engine, such as high speed, variable loads. The analysis of chain drive meshing characteristics is completed. Using the multi-body dynamic soft-ware RecurDyn, the dynamics characteristics of the improved system is studied, including chain tension, transmission error, chain fluctuations, equivalent spring force in different operating conditions. The study results show that chain tension, transmission error, chain fluctuation and equivalent spring force are within the scope of permission, all of them can meet the design requirement. There-fore, the design of this system is reasonable and practicable. The research results will provide a basis for assessing timing silent chain system in a V-type engine and a theoretical reference for designing and optimizing the timing silent chain system.

In the case of conventional soft robots, the basic stiffness is small due to the use of flexible materials. Therefore, there is a limitation that the load that can bear is limited. In order to overcome these limitations, a study on a variable stiffness method has been conducted. And it can be seen that the jamming mechanism is most effective in increasing the stiffness of the soft robot. However, the jamming mechanism as a method in which a large number of variable act together is not even theoretically analyzed, and there is no study on intrinsic principle. In this paper, a study was carried out to increase the stability of the force chain to increase the stiffness due to the jamming transition phenomenon. Particle size variables, backbone mechanisms were used to analyze the stability of the force chains. We choose a jamming mechanism as a variable stiffness method of a soft robot, and improve the effect of stiffness based on theoretical analysis, modeling FEM simulation, prototyping and experiment.

Forces needed for orthodontic tooth movement are obtained from various appliances such as orthodontic wires or elastic rubber. Orthodontic elastic rubber is widely used clinically, but permanent deformation and force decay may occur from the environmental changes, time of clinical use and the extent of the stretch, making the Prediction of force being applied difficult. The Present study examined and compared the changes in residual force between three brands of elastomeric chains (Ormco Generation II Power Chains ; brand A, RMO : Energy-Chain ; brand B, Unitek : AlastiK ; brand C) under various environmental conditions, amount of initial force, types of elastomer and the rate of extension. The characteristic physical properies of the elastomeric chains were as follows. 1. In all three brands, the residual force ratio was largest when the chains were stored in air, with no difference between water and saliva. 2. In all three brands, after 24 hours, there was no statistical difference in residual force ratio according to the initial force level. 3. In Brand A and B, the presence of filament had no correlation with the residual force ratio. In Brand C force decay was more severe when the chain contained filament. 4. In each brand, rate of extension had no effect on residual force ratio. 5. Brand B showed relatively higher residual force ratio compared to other brands.
