Tool for Distributed Pressure Time-Histories of Marine Structures: Verification and Case Study With a WEC
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we describe the theory and code implementation of a tool to obtain the time-dependent pressure distribution on a marine structure using the results from a boundary element method code (BEM). Here, we present a case study of a floating wave energy converter (WEC) in regular waves. The results are verified by comparison with open-source codes and then used to run a structural simulation (finite element analysis) to showcase a possible application.

Numerical simulation of liquefaction susceptibility of soil interacting by single pile
Previous case histories have shown that soil liquefaction severely damaged many structures supported on pile foundations during earthquakes. As a result, evaluating the potential for instability is an important consideration for the safe and resistant design of deep foundation against earthquakes. In this study, the liquefaction susceptibility of saturated sand interacting by single concrete pi...
متن کاملTime-Dependent Thermo-Electro-Mechanical Creep Behavior of Radially Polarized FGPM Rotating Cylinder
Time-dependent creep analysis is crucial for the performance and reliability of piezoactuators used for high-precision positioning and load-bearing applications. In this study history of stresses, deformations and electric potential of hollow rotating cylinders made of functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM), e.g., PZT_7A have been investigated using Mendelson’s method of successive e...
متن کاملEngineering Critical Assessments of Marine Pipelines with 3D Surface Cracks Considering Weld Mismatch
Offshore pipelines are usually constructed by the use of girth welds, while welds may naturally contain flaws. Currently, fracture assessment procedures such as BS 7910 are based on the stress-based methods and their responses for situations with large plastic strain is suspicious. DNV-OS-F101 with limited modifications proposes a strain-based procedure for such plastic loads. In this paper 3D ...
متن کاملAppraisal of the evolutionary-based methodologies in generation of artificial earthquake time histories
Through the last three decades different seismological and engineering approaches for the generation of artificial earthquakes have been proposed. Selection of an appropriate method for the generation of applicable artificial earthquake accelerograms (AEAs) has been a challenging subject in the time history analysis of the structures in the case of the absence of sufficient recorded accelerogra...
متن کاملSurface Pressure Contour Prediction Using a GRNN Algorithm
A new approach based on a Generalized Regression Neural Network (GRNN) has been proposed to predict the planform surface pressure field on a wing-tail combination in low subsonic flow. Extensive wind tunnel results were used for training the network and verification of the values predicted by this approach. GRNN has been trained by the aforementioned experimental data and subsequently was used ...
