To avoid the conservativeness in the large surface-effect ship hull design which results from simplifying assumptions in the stress analysis, the hull structure was analyzed as a three-dimensional elastic body. The NASTRAN finite-element program, level 15.0, was selected for use in this analysis as the most suitable program available. A finite-element model representing the true hull stiffness was used in obtaining the internal load and displacement distributions. The inertia effect of the ship masses was included with each set of static loads. This was done by using the Static Analysis with Inertia Relief solution included in NASTRAN. The stress redistribution around cutouts in the hull was treated in a separate study. The interaction between hull and deckhouse was investigated by attaching a model of the deckhouse onto the hull model, and then solving for the appropriate load conditions. The natural frequencies were obtained using a reduced finite-element model of both the hull and hull/deckhouse combination. A new technique was developed for determining the dynamic stresses and their proper superposition on the static stresses.

In the present study, the constitutive law of the deformation theory of plasticity has been derived. And that develop the two-dimensional and three-dimensional finite element program. The results of finite element and analytic of plasticity are compared to verify the derived the constitutive law of the deformation theory and the FEM program. At plastic stage, the constitutive laws of the deformation theory can be expressed as the linear elastic constitutive laws. But, it must be modified by iteration of the secant modulus and the effective Poisson’s ratio. Make it easier to develop finite element program. Finite element solution and analytic solution of plasticity theory comparison show the answers are the same. It shows the derivation of the constitutive law of the deformation theory of plasticity and finite element analysis program is the accuracy.

The authors have been developing a crack propagation analysis system that can model arbitrary shaped cracks in three-dimensional solids. In the system, automatic mesh generation program, parallel/large finite element program (ADVENTURE_Solid) and virtual crack closure-integral method (VCCM) for the quadratic tetrahedral finite element are used as its key-components. In this paper, the components in the crack propagation system are briefly described and some demonstration problems are presented for an illustrative purposes.

Parametric Studies

The effect of three-dimensional geometry on the seismic response of open-top rectangular concrete water tanks is investigated. In this study, the fluid-structure interaction is introduced incorporating wall flexibility. Numerical studies are done based on finite element simulation of the tank-liquid system. The ANSYS finite element program is used. The liquid-tank system is modelled assuming both 2D and 3D geometries. Parametric studies are conducted to investigate the effect of water level, tank plan dimensions and the nature of the ground motion on the dynamic response. Due to three-dimensional geometry, amplification of the dynamic response in the form of sloshing height, hydrodynamic pressures and resultant forces is observed. The results show that, at the corner of the tanks, the interaction of the waves generated in longitudinal and transverse directions initiates greater wave amplitude. Sensitivity of the sloshing response of the tank to the frequency content of the ground motion is observed.

Three Dimensional Finite Element

Traditionally speaking, prototype tires are designed, and then tested on an experimental basis to evaluate performance. Using finite element analysis instead allows tire design parameters to be modified at will and underperforming architectures to be ruled out. This paper characterizes the dynamic response of a tubeless pneumatic vehicle tire as it is exposed to sudden impact and determines conditions under which failure would occur. Three cases were studied using a 175SR14 passenger tire, since passenger tires are most commonly used and impacts are more substantial on smaller tires. ABAQUS finite element program was used to perform nonlinear transient dynamic three-dimensional finite element analyses for three commonly tire encountered conditions. The first case, direct curb impact, determined that a safe inflation pressure range for tire velocities exists between 10 and 60 km per hour (kph). The second case, angled curb impact, found a smaller range of 10 to 40kph. The third case, impact with a pothole, found that at low inflation pressures, less stress is produced at higher velocities; increasing inflation pressure results in a transition point, causing larger stresses to be produced at higher velocities. From these analyses, several conclusions are drawn: inflation pressures below 100KPa do not produce a useful relationship between tire velocity and stress; thicker sidewalls help shield the tire from impact failure; and it is better for the tire to accelerate past a pothole in the 30 to 70kph range.
