Finite-element modeling and use of appropriate analytical techniques play a significant role in producing a reliable and economic design for ship hull structures subjected to dynamic loading. The paper presents investigations carried out for the dynamic response analysis of ship hull structures using the finite-element method. A simple and efficient interactive graphical preprocessing technique based on the "keynode" concept and assembly-line procedure is used to develop the finite-element model of the hull structure. The technique makes use of the body plan of a ship hull to build the finite-element model through an interactive session. Stiffened plate/shell finite elements suitable to model the hull structure are formulated and used to model the structure. The finite elements take into account arbitrary placement of stiffeners in an element without increasing the number of degrees-of-freedom of the element. A three-dimensional finite-element model and a procedure based on the Bubnov-Galerkin residual approach are employed to evaluate the effects of interaction between the ship hull and water. Mode superposition technique is used to conduct the dynamic response analysis. The efficiency of the finite elements and the procedures is demonstrated through dynamic analysis of a submerged cantilever plate and a barge when both are subjected to sinusoidal forces. The dynamic responses exhibit expected behavior of the structure and a comparison with the results available in the literature indicate superior performance of the finite element and methodologies developed. Thus, the finite-element models and the procedures are found to be efficient and hence suitable for the dynamic analysis of similar structures.

The finite element model of the stirring kneader shaft was built by PRO/E software, which was inserted into ANSYS. Next, the instantaneous dynamic analysis of the new stirring kneader shaft was carried out. The instantaneous dynamic response of stirring shaft about the exciting force of fluid was obtained, which was to optimize the structural parameters of the stirring shaft. The foundation for the next fatigue analysis was laid based on the instantaneous dynamic response; the fatigue life of stirring kneader shaft can be predicted.

A theoretical model is established to predict stress-strain and torque-tensile strain curves of a yarn. The yarn is described by its properties and the arrangement of its fibers, which have a finite length. The yarn is transformed into finite elements. Equilibrium is expressed by virtual work, and is calculated iteratively using the dynamic relaxation technique. The principles of the model, its potential, limitations, and possible improvements are discussed.

In this paper, a 3-D finite element model was established for stop log gates. It is used for researching its force situation in process of power on and power off. The vertical pressure distribution around stop log gates shows that with water depth increasing, the difference of downstream pressure and upstream pressure of gates become more obvious. Between power on and power off processes, the stop log gates’ pressure differences and horizontal displacements are opposite.

A there-dimensional finite element model of the working device of a single backhoe-bucket hydraulic excavator was developed to analyze and evaluate the rationality of structure design of the working device in this study. By finite element modal analysis, the resonant frequencies and vibration modes of the working device system were obtained. By dynamic response analysis, the changing trends of stress and strain of the device were obtained. In addition, the influence of different excavating resistance forces to the working device on dynamic response of the device system was compared for large and small resistance forces at the beginning excavation moment. The results show that a large resistance force at the initial excavating moment may result in the device vibrating with large vibration amplitude at the beginning excavation moment. These results might provide useful reference on design improvement of the excavator working device.

To assess the structural strength of spherical cylinder, the finite element model was constructed by the NX NASTRAN software. Firstly,the basic principle of random vibration response analysis was introduced, then the random vibration response analysis of the cylinder assembly was analyzed. The simulation result shows that the stress of the joint between spherical cylinder clamp and the base is larger than other areas in conditions of a given random vibration load. The spherical cylinder structure is safe and that the maximum RMS stress is about 20 MPa.

This paper analyze the deformation of large aperture optical components under the thermal load based on the finite element model developed using the ANSYS software, which are used for inertia confinement fusion (ICF) experiments. High precision sensors are used to measure the temperature around the optical components in the target building and to form the temperature changing curve. The biggest temperature change is 0.3°C during 2 hours based on the measurement. The change is then loaded on the finite element model of a typical large aperture optical component to get the deformation of the optical component. The results indicate that the deformation of the optical component can satisfy the stability requirement in the current environment. Meanwhile, the deformation of the optical component is calculated for different temperature changes and the results show that the deformation of the optical component have a direct relationship with the change of temperature.

Many modern ships, particularly large containerships, are characterized by extreme bow flare, large stern overhang, and low torsional rigidity due to an open deck structural configuration. Software package GL ShipLoad was developed as an aid to assess the structural integrity of such ships. This software tool became the standard method to generate rule based loads for a global strength finite element analysis of sea going displacement ships. It efficiently generates loads based on first principles. A graphical user interface facilitates the convenient application of ship and cargo masses to the finite element model and aids in the selection of relevant design wave situations. User defined selection criteria, such as maximum values of rule based bending moments, shear forces, or torsional moments, specify which waves have to be chosen for the global strength analysis. This approach yields a reduced number of balanced load cases that are sufficient to dimension the hull structure. To adequately simulate roll motion, additional roll angles are analyzed that simulate realistic distributions of torsional moments over the ship length. A strength analysis of a typical post-panamax containership demonstrated the load generation procedure. First, efficiently modeled mass items were grouped into reusable assembled masses for the ship at hydrostatic equilibrium. Second, regular design wave scenarios were estimated, and hydrodynamic pressures for a large number of regular waves were computed. Third, a reduced number of relevant wave situations were automatically selected, and balanced hydrostatic, hydrodynamic, and inertia loads were applied to the finite element model. Enforced roll angles were found to contribute significantly to the initial torsional moment in the fore holds. Finally, based on a locally refined FE submodel of the hatch corners in way of the ship’s fore hold, a fatigue analysis was performed to assess effects of critical loading under enforced roll angles.
