Study on Modal Characteristic of Whole FA Reducer based on HM-ANSYS Co-simulating by Lei Lei, Jing Xiao, Tianmin Guan, Liang Xuan

“…By importing Hypermesh for detailed mesh generation, contact definition and constraint addition, the finite element model is established, and then importing ANSYS for modal analysis under constraint conditions. The natural frequencies and mode shapes are obtained, which not only avoids complex theoretical modeling and calculation, but also lays a foundation for the subsequent dynamics analysis and rigid-flexible coupling analysis. …”

VM migration across subnets in future internet architecture—XIA by Hong-wei MENG, Zhong CHEN, Zi-qian MENG, Chuck SONG

“…When a VM migrates among hosts residing in two IP subnets,the network attachment point of VM changed,which causes the IP mobility problem.It was meaningful to design and evaluate VM migration performance under the future internet architecture.XIA (expressive Internet architecture)was focused,a novel future internet architecture,sup-port for VM live migration.Motivated by the natural f res of ID/location decoupling,versatile routing with DAG (di-rected acyclic graphs) in XIA,The design and implementation of rendezvous agent based migration (RABM) approach was given.In demonstrate that XIA supported VM migration can achieve fast network re-connection between VM and correspondent node,while keeping the network control plane simplicity and data plane efficiency.…”
