A new approach for manufacturing of shell fender is proposed and has been examined numerically and experimentally. The new suggested method is based on sheet hydroforming process, which has a lot of advantages over conventional deep drawing process. After defining the shape of initial blank using an inverse finite element program, numerical evaluation of the proposed sheet hydroforming process for production of shell fender has been carried out using an explicit finite element code considering fluid pressure, boundary conditions and tools. Then experimental evaluation has been carried out using down sized specimen and the results have been compared with results of previous simulations. It has been shown that there are similar trends between finite element and experimental results.

This paper investigates the response of UHPC-concrete composite structural members using implicit and explicit finite element (FE) methods. Both methods were prepared and conducted individually for the FE analysis under static loading condition. Results of the implicit and explicit analysis were compared to experimental results conducted in previous study. Both the implicit and explicit methods showed similar overall response with fair accuracy compared with the experimental results. In addition, the effective plastic strain obtained from the FE simulation was in good agreement with the damage cracking pattern in the experiment.
