Patent number: 10691147Abstract: In simulating a behavior of a particle system including a plurality of particles disposed in an analysis region, by using a molecular dynamics method, centroid velocities of the particles present in a local region including a particle of interest are converted on the basis of the number of particles present in the local region for each of the particles, and thus a conversion value of a centroid velocity of the local region is calculated.

Patent number: 10013514Abstract: A granular material is a simulation target, wherein a force acting on each grain is expressed by a potential dependent term and an energy dissipation term. The potential dependent term depends on an interaction potential ? between the grains. Physical quantities included in the potential dependent term are renormalization-transformed so that a hamiltonian form expressed by a kinetic energy of the each grain and a potential energy based on the interaction potential ? does not change. Physical quantities included in the dissipation term are renormalization-transformed so that a change rate of the potential dependent term and a change rate of the dissipation term become equal. Temporal development of a renormalized granular material is calculated by performing numerical integration with respect to a motion equation of each grain of the renormalized granular material.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2016Date of Patent: July 3, 2018Assignee: SUMITOMO HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Ryouta Hirose, Daiji Ichishima

Position vectors and momentum vectors of grains of a renormalized granular system S? are calculated by executing molecular dynamics calculation for the renormalized granular system S?.
