The Relationship

Aircraft impact analysis is needed for a safety assessment of nuclear power plants. One of the contents which should be analysed for aircraft impact is physical damage of a concrete building and this can be estimated by a numerical simulation. In order to conduct aircraft impact analysis, simulation model which validated by some experimental data needs to be established. In 1990s, impact test using actual F4 Phantom fighter was conducted at Sandia national laboratory in U.S. and a lot of important experimental data were measured. In this paper, the numerical simulation results for this F4 Phantom impact test are introduced. The relationship between the thickness of the shell of the F4 Phantom simulation model and the deceleration of this model is indicated and the differences of the deceleration between simulation and test results are discussed. In addition, the relationship between fracture strain of the shell of the F4 Phantom simulation model and the destruction mode of this model in simulation is indicated and the differences between the destruction mode of the F4 Phantom between simulation and test results are discussed. In order to evaluate the physical damage area after the aircraft impact, it is necessary to estimate the aircraft velocity after it perforates the outer concrete wall and to calculate the decrease of the kinematic energy of the aircraft by this perforation. In this paper, several aircraft impact simulations with different concrete wall thickness are conducted and the reduction in kinematic energies of an aircraft by a perforation is estimated. Using these simulation results, the necessary numbers of concrete walls until the impacting aircraft stops is discussed.

Dry Out

The objective of this study was to determine the maximum allowable initial moisture content (MC) for cross-laminated timber (CLT) walls having both exterior and interior thermal insulation. A laboratory test was conducted, for which four test walls with two different insulation solutions and two different MCs were built. Based on the test results, a simulation model was configured and simulations using the model were completed. The simulation results determined that the maximum allowable initial MC of the CLT panels was 17% for walls insulated additionally from inside with mineral wool and 15% for CLT wall assemblies insulated with polyisocyanurate (PIR). Based on these results, it was concluded that the allowable MC ranges between 8% and 16% for construction timber, and therefore, using a PIR board as interior insulation for CLT walls should be undertaken with caution given the very small margin for error in MC.

Pull Out

Precast concrete sandwich panels (PCSP) are often used as exterior cladding of residential buildings due to thermal efficiency. PCSP systems consist of two precast reinforced concrete walls separated by a layer of insulation and connected with connectors which penetrate the insulation layer and are anchored at two precast walls. This paper provides the pull-out test results of concrete sandwich panel (CSP) with non-shear connectors. The variables in this study were the casting direction of reinforced concrete walls and types of insulation. Test results indicated that the types of insulations and casting direction have a significant effect on the bond strength between concrete wall and insulation. The effect of insulation type is notable for CSP cast horizontally concrete walls.

This paper compares transportation mockup cask impact test results onto real surfaces with FEA numerical simulation results. The impact test results are from a series of cask impact tests that were conducted by Sandia National Laboratories (Gonzales 1987). The Sandia tests were conducted with a half-scale instrumented cask mockup impacting an essentially unyielding surface, in-situ soil, concrete runways, and concrete highways. The cask numerical simulations with these same surfaces are conducted with ABAQUS/Explicit, Version 5.8, The results are then compared and evaluated to access the viability of using numerical simulation to predict the impact behavior of transportation casks under hypothetical accident conditions.

Basing on the fact that requirements for shift quality in automatic transmissions have been increasing rapidly necessitates the establishment of a suitable shifting control strategy in order to facilitate smoothness of different processes, this paper introduces a simulation model of an 8-speed automatic transmission for front-drive vehicles with respect to detailed shifting strategies and relative parameters. The transmitted torque of the oncoming shift elements before synchronization point can be reduced by an impact function in order to damp the impact and thus make the gear shifting process more smooth. This paper makes a systematic introduction of the structure of 8AT, theoretical basis of control strategy, the establishment of the simulation model and the comparison between test results and simulation results. The conclusion shows that with an accurate dynamic model, simulation results and test results are neighborhood data, the simulation model can be used to help realizing the ultimate goal of better shift quality with higher efficiency, lower shift loads and improved shifting comfort.

Simulation Results

This paper deals with the simulation of hydraulic gear machines, focusing on the validation of simulation models and on the comparison between numerical results and experimental data, concerning both steady and unsteady conditions. First authors give a brief overview on the simulation tool HYGESim, which has been presented and discussed in several previous papers. Afterwards, the attention shifts on the analysis of the simulation results for the case of a stock gear pump. Regarding steady state characteristics, the paper shows how HYGESim is able to accurately reproduce the operation of the analyzed pump, in terms of flow, pressures and efficiency maps. Regarding unsteady simulations, namely the delivery pressure ripple, the paper highlights the significant effort done by the authors in order to achieve experimental data clear and suitable for the comparison with simulation results. In fact, the peculiarities of common measuring systems (in particular of the load apparatus and the sampling methods) are often difficult to reproduce numerically: frequently different acceptable assumptions in the numerical model lead to remarkable discrepancies in simulated results. For this purpose, the authors developed a measuring device mainly focused on the easy reproducibility in the simulation environment. Furthermore, an original technique for processing unsteady data (pressure and flow ripples) is proposed, allowing to achieve comparable data indifferently of the adopted sampling method and of the data origin (experimental or numerical). In the final part of the paper, pressure ripple simulations and test results (obtained with the described measuring system and analyzed with the described technique) are presented and compared.

Good Agreement

Dynamic tests of three reinforced concrete samples and six Dynablok samples were performed in the blast simulator facility at the University of California San-Diego (UCSD). The purpose of these tests was to evaluate the performance of a novel protective wall design. These tests were numerically simulated at the Protective Technologies Research and Development Center (PTR&DC) of the Ben-Gurion University (BGU) in Beer-Sheva, Israel. The simulations were carried out using two commercial hydro-codes: LS-Dyna and Dytran. The purpose of these simulations was to calibrate the parameters of the material models available in the above codes. Once calibrated, the simulation results showed good agreement with the test results for largely deflected yet moderately damaged specimens.
