In-line VIV analysis model of top tensioned riser is created based on the finite element method and the principle of energy conservation, by using hydrodynamic parameters which are derived from forced vibration experiments. Considering the influence of cross-flow vibration and the different sources of in-line lift force, response amplitudes are calculated in different frequency interval and superposed. Compared with measuring results from experiments of Chaplin, the forecast gives satisfactory results.
By means of an explicit nonlinear dynamic finite element computer code LS-DYNA and the plastic kinematic Cowper-Symonds model, the nonlinear dynamic response process of fully clamped cylindrical shell subjected to lateral local impact by a hemispherical-nosed projectile were numerically simulated. The dynamic deformation and failure modes of cylindrical shells under different impact conditions were acquired. The minimum impact speed at which cracks through the thickness of the shell wall were generated, termed the speed for rupture, was studied. The results demonstrate that the failure modes of cylindrical shell relates to circumferential impact oblique angle and impact speed. The local dent, dish-shaped deformation and perfoation will occure. The speed for rupture increases with increasing angle of obliquity. The study can be applied to the engineering prediction of the damage or safety of cylindrical shell under lateral local impact and can provide theory reference for safety design.
Simply the rectangle electromagnetic rail launcher’s rails and panel as double elastic foundation beam, and use the Dirac and Heaviside function to represent the distribution electromagnetic force caused by the moving armature and the concentrated loads on the rail respectively, then the dynamic response equation of the rail and panels in working condition was established in this paper. By the theory of modal orthogonality and regularization, the analytic solution of the rail and panels was calculated. Through an example, the rail and panels’ dynamic response was analyzed when the motion parameter and structural parameter were given, and the analytic solution’s reliability was verified through compared with the ANSYS numerical results. The research results in this paper give a foundation for rectangle electromagnetic rail launcher’s dynamic response analysis.
