However, the verification which depends on the experience of the production engineer or the rule and regulation cannot be clearly proven or results in overestimation. Therefore, the verification based on dynamic analysis is widely adopted. However, it is impossible for existing programs to support some mechanical equipment such as the equalizer and SPMT (Self-Propelled Modular Transporter). Therefore, this study analyzes the requirements that are essential to simulate the lifting and erection operation in ships and offshore structures and proposes the integrated simulation framework based on multibody dynamics. The proposed framework is composed of five layers such as simulation core layer for solving the equations of motion, interface layer for data communication, simulation components layer including constraints, forces and collision, equipment layer, and service layer. This study develops a dedicated and differentiated program for dynamic analysis in ships and offshore structures, named SyMAP (SyDLabs Multibody Analysis Program). The proposed simulation framework integrates several modules based on various theoretical backgrounds. First of all, the equations of motion are based on multibody dynamics. Among the several formulations, we adopt the DELE (Discrete Euler-Lagrange Equation) to achieve the robustness during numerical integration. Furthermore, we formulate the equations of motion of the 1D frame element and 2D shell element based on ANCF (Absolute Nodal Coordinate Formulation). Kinematic constraints including joints and constraint-based wire rope between the rigid bodies, and between the rigid and flexible bodies are also derived. Especially, an equalizer which distributes the tension of wire ropes between the load and equipment equally is modeled based on the real mechanism by using the constraint-based wire rope. Meanwhile, we also deal with special issues in collision detection and response. Because the shape exports from the ship CAD system contains unenclosed meshes, we propose the position difference method which checks an intersection using the line segment made by the two vertices or the trigonal prism consisting of the two triangular meshes at time t0 and t1. Furthermore, BVH (Bounding Volume Hierarchy) and exclusion boxes were adopted to increase the performance. For collision response, non-interpenetration constraint method between a vertex and a plane is derived. This method is applicable when two bodies collide at the multiple points, and it does not compulsively violate the kinematic constraint because the collision force was also solved together when the equations of motion were solved numerically. Moreover, the collision force could be determined automatically, reflecting material properties such as restitution and softness. This study proposes the modeling of the mechanical parts of the SPMT taking into consideration the axle compensation mechanism to maintain the level of the platform when the SPMT drives over an uneven roadway by lifting up and down the wheel. As external forces, hydrodynamic force, wind force, current force, and mooring force are also explained. For the verification, comparison of the benchmarking tests of multibody systems and the examples of commercial multibody software DAFUL is conducted. The analytic solutions and the simulation results are compared in case of the flexible multibody dynamics. To verify the characteristics of the motion due to the hydrodynamic forces, the motion of the floating barge is compared with RAO given by WADAM, OrcaFlex, and SIMA. For the validation, the simulation results are compared with the data collected in the real operations. Finally, we provide four representative applications such as block lifting using equalizers, LPG tank erection considering a collision, thin plate block lifting considering deformation, and block offloading using SPMT, which have not been solved before. We conclude that the problems issued in ships and offshore structures are solved by the proposed or adopted methods. We convince that the developed program based on the proposed integrated simulation framework is able to cover all of the operations in ships and offshore structures.Nomenclature 1 1.

    Discrete Differential Geometry of Thin Materials for Computational Mechanics

    Instead of applying numerical methods directly to governing equations, another approach to computation is to discretize the geometric structure specific to the problem first, and then compute with the discrete geometry. This structure-respecting discrete-differential-geometric (DDG) approach often leads to new algorithms that more accurately track the physically behavior of the system with less computational effort. Thin objects, such as pieces of cloth, paper, sheet metal, freeform masonry, and steel-glass structures are particularly rich in geometric structure and so are well-suited for DDG. I show how understanding the geometry of time integration and contact leads to new algorithms, with strong correctness guarantees, for simulating thin elastic objects in contact; how the performance of these algorithms can be dramatically improved without harming the geometric structure, and thus the guarantees, of the original formulation; how the geometry of static equilibrium can be used to efficiently solve design problems related to masonry or glass buildings; and how discrete developable surfaces can be used to model thin sheets undergoing isometric deformation

    DIONISIO 3.0: Comprehensive 3D nuclear fuel simulation through PCMI cohesive and PLENUM models

    Get PDF
    We present a new version of the DIONISIO code, extending its capabilities to three-dimensional domains. Adding to the functionality that divides the rod in a user-defined number of segments, the user can now choose the dimensionality of the domain in which a representative pellet-gap-cladding system is solved. To achieve this, we have developed a new algorithm to simulate the contact between pellet and cladding based in Cohesive Finite Elements, a natural mode to approach this issue. We present our results testing this kind of contact element in order to validate the concept. Alongside the contact algorithm, we have included a model of the plenum domain in three dimensions, treated using an external FEM mesh created ad hoc. DIONISIO reads this mesh adapting it to the specific case to be simulated and solves the energy equation inside the plenum following specific boundary conditions. We compare the new models to selected experiments under irradiation, in normal or accident conditions, for validation, with results showing a high correlation with said experiments.Fil: Goldberg, Ezequiel.

    Subdivision Shell Elements with Anisotropic Growth

    Full text link
    A thin shell finite element approach based on Loop's subdivision surfaces is proposed, capable of dealing with large deformations and anisotropic growth. To this end, the Kirchhoff-Love theory of thin shells is derived and extended to allow for arbitrary in-plane growth. The simplicity and computational efficiency of the subdivision thin shell elements is outstanding, which is demonstrated on a few standard loading benchmarks. With this powerful tool at hand, we demonstrate the broad range of possible applications by numerical solution of several growth scenarios, ranging from the uniform growth of a sphere, to boundary instabilities induced by large anisotropic growth. Finally, it is shown that the problem of a slowly and uniformly growing sheet confined in a fixed hollow sphere is equivalent to the inverse process where a sheet of fixed size is slowly crumpled in a shrinking hollow sphere in the frictionless, quasi-static, elastic limit.Comment: 20 pages, 12 figures, 1 tabl

    HIGH ACCELERATIONS PRODUCED THROUGH SECONDARY IMPACT AND ITS EFFECT ON RELIABILITY OF PRINTED WIRING ASSEMBLIES

    Get PDF
    The focus of this thesis is the investigation of extremely high accelerations through secondary impact and its effect on reliability of printed wiring assemblies. The test equipment consists of a commercially available drop system and a commercially available attachment termed a Dual Mass Shock Amplifier (DMSA), which extends the impact acceleration range to as much as 30,000 Gs by utilizing secondary impact dynamics. Further secondary impacts between the test vehicle and fixture are intentionally generated in simulation and tested experimentally to imitate board 'slap' phenomena in product assemblies, and to generate even further amplification of the acceleration at various locations on the test specimen. In this thesis a detailed description of the test equipment and modeling techniques are provided. Model complexity ranges from simple analytic closed-form rigid-body mechanics to detailed nonlinear dynamic finite element analysis. The effects of different equipment design parameters (table mass, spring stiffness, table clearance) are investigated through parametric modeling. The effects of contact parameters (constraint enforcement algorithms, stiffness, damping) on model accuracy are explored. Test fixtures for high shock accelerations are discussed and used for board level reliability testing of printed wire assemblies containing WLCSP49s and MEMS microphones
