ICCAS 2007, Portsmouth EFFICIENT GENERATION OF CFD-BASED LOADS FOR THE FEM-ANALYSIS OF SHIP STRUCTURES
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes the technology for coupling CFD and FEM computations and for selecting the appropriate design waves. One core component for linking CFD and FEM is a repository for the ship hydrodynamic results (SHR). Another important component is an algorithm which maps CFD pressures to FEM nodal loads where CFD and FEM meshes need not coincide. Both the exchange file and the mapping algorithm are independent of the CFD method. Therefore, the currently applied efficient strip method can be replaced by more advanced procedures.

Implementing the most efficient sensor placement methods on the ship structural model
The damage and failure in engineering structures, especially offshore structures, and hull of ship structures, causes economic losses, human disasters, and environmental problems. Therefore, diagnosing and predicting the occurrence of failure in these structures is vital. In this situation, engineers have introduced the use of structural health monitoring operations as a suitable way to prevent...
متن کاملISOGEOMETRIC TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION OF STRUCTURES USING LEVEL SET METHOD INCORPORATING SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
This study focuses on the topology optimization of structures using a hybrid of level set method (LSM) incorporating sensitivity analysis and isogeometric analysis (IGA). First, the topology optimization problem is formulated using the LSM based on the shape gradient. The shape gradient easily handles boundary propagation with topological changes. In the LSM, the topological gradient method as ...
