Design against impact loads (slamming) can be challenging and time consuming and can involve complex calculations. Application of simplified, quasi-static calculation approaches will make the design process much easier. In this paper, such simplified methods are discussed using free fall lifeboats as a case. Results from non-linear FE-analysis show that the response is non-linear due to large deformations. The impact pressure is then mainly carried by membrane stress and the dynamic response is small. A non-linear beam theory approach for hand calculation is established. As the non-linear calculation model is the most realistic, it is recommended that this is used in an initial design assessment. Although the results are on the conservative side, simple hand calculations including non-linear geometry can be used to predict the maximum strain. Linear methods are also investigated. However, these methods should be used with more rigid structures such as stiffened steel and aluminium panels.

Robot Gun structure is an efficient way in which multiple welds can be done simultaneously. However mounting several weld guns on a single structure induces a variety of dynamic loads, especially during movement of the robot arm as it maneuvers to reach the weld locations.The primary idea employed in this paper, is to model those dynamic loads as equivalent G force loads in FEA. This approach will be on the conservative side, and will be saving time and subsequently cost efficient. The approach of the paper is towards creating a standard operating procedure (SOP) when it comes to analysis of such structures, with emphasis on deploying various technical aspects of FEA such as Non Linear Geometry, Multipoint Constraint Contact Algorithm, Multizone meshing .

Beniamino Segre, in his memorial lecture of 1958 [5], [6], inaugurated the study of non-linear geometry in three dimensions over a division ring. In his treatment of sections of quadrics by planes, he is naturally led to consider conics and the problem of tangency. Now in the commutative case the locus of intersection of a quadric and a plane containing a generator is the line-pair consisting of this generator and one from the other family. Such a plane is then the tangent plane of the point of intersection of the two generators. Segre extends this notion to the non-commutative case, where the locus of intersection is not always a line-pair. He joins up the remaining points of intersection in pairs, and calls the points where the lines so formed cut the base generator, the ‘points of contact’ of the plane (π) and the quadric (Q). A line in π is called a ‘tangent’ if it passes through a point of contact, but does not contain any of the points of intersection of Q and π.

In this paper fuzzy version of secant method has been introduced to obtain approximate solutions of a fuzzy non-linear equation. Graphical representations of the approximate solutions have also been shown. The idea of converging to the root to the desired degree of accuracy, which is the optimum solution, of a fuzzy non-linear equation has been focused.GANIT J. Bangladesh Math.

This article is presented a modified quadrature iterated methods of Boole rule and Weddle rule for solving non-linear equations which arise in applied sciences and engineering. The proposed methods are converged quadratically and the idea of developed research comes from Boole rule and Weddle rule. Few examples are demonstrated to justify the proposed method as the assessment of the newton raphson method, steffensen method, trapezoidal method, and quadrature method. Numerical results and graphical representations of modified quadrature iterated methods are examined with C++ and EXCEL. The observation from numerical results that the proposed modified quadrature iterated methods are performance good and well executed as the comparison of existing methods for solving non-linear equations.

In this paper, we improve a combined algorithm and develop a uniform computer technique for solving constrained, unconstrained Non Linear Programming (NLP) and Quadratic Programming (QP) problems into a single framework. For this, we first review the basic algorithms of convex and concave QP as well as general NLP problems. We also focus on the development of the graphical representations. We use MATHEMATICA 9.0 to develop this algorithmic technique. We present a number of numerical examples to demonstrate our method.GANIT J. Bangladesh Math. Soc.Vol. 35 (2015) 41-55
