Impact Loads due to wave slamming on horizontal members of the hull structure are of considerable interest in the context of very light and optimized structure, as found on Naval Vessel and other high speed vessels. These Slamming Loads are highly dynamic in nature, which is characterized by very short duration of the load, usually 10–20 milli-seconds, with a peak value for even a shorter duration. Therefore, a dynamic analysis is required to study the response of the structure, which is susceptible to slamming. Also, considering the extreme load response with a small probability of occurrence, certain amount of permanent deformation can be accepted. This paper presents the systematic transient dynamic analysis carried out for almost 2000 cases and proposes a method based on this study, for design of structures subjected to slamming loads. A Dynamic Load Factor, which converts the dynamic load into an equivalent static load, is introduced, after which a simple static analysis would yield the same results as that obtained from the dynamic analysis. Further, the paper also provides a method for calculating the plate thickness, given any slamming load, acceptable value of permanent deformation, and in-plane stress.

Studies on dynamic impact of high-speed trains on long-span bridges are important for the design and evaluation of high-speed railway bridges. The use of the dynamic load factor (DLF) to account for the impact effect has been widely accepted in bridge engineering. Although the field monitoring studies are the most dependable way to study the actual DLF of the bridge, according to previous studies there are few field monitoring data on high-speed railway truss arch bridges. This paper presents an evaluation of DLF based on field monitoring and finite element simulation of Nanjing DaShengGuan Bridge, which is a high-speed railway truss arch bridge with the longest span throughout the world. The DLFs in different members of steel truss arch are measured using monitoring data and simulated using finite element model, respectively. The effects of lane position, number of train carriages, and speed of trains on DLF are further investigated. By using the accumulative probability function of the Generalized Extreme Value Distribution, the probability distribution model of DLF is proposed, based on which the standard value of DLF within 50-year return period is evaluated and compared with different bridge design codes.

AbstractDue to their compactness and power density, planetary gearboxes are used for a wide range of high-performance applications in the automotive, aviation and marine sector. Aerospace applications in particular benefit from a full use of the load capacity potential to meet the requirements for lightweight construction and efficiency. Against this background, the load sharing between the individual planetary gears plays a decisive role. A uniform load sharing enables the design of the single tooth meshes without load increases and oversizing. However, due to manufacturing and assembly deviations, a perfect load sharing is technically not feasible. These load increases are taken into account in the standard calculation of the load capacity of planetary gearboxes by the mesh load factor Kγ. The load sharing in planetary gearboxes is influenced by a number of factors, such as the rigidity of shafts, housing and bearings, the number of planets, the quality of the gear wheels and the operating conditions. Detailed simulations or extensive experimental measurements are required to determine the exact load sharing. For new designs of planetary gearboxes, there are only simplified assumptions available, based on the number of planets and a rough estimation of the operating range. Especially additional dynamic forces, due to operation in high-speed ranges or near resonance frequencies, can lead to a considerable change of the dynamic load sharing compared to the static load sharing and cause an uncertainty in the design. Thus, in this paper the dynamic load sharing behaviour is investigated from 0 to 6800 rpm sun speed for different loads. Based on the experimental data recommendations for the design of planetary gearboxes under consideration of the operating conditions are derived.

AbstractThis paper presents simulation calculations and experimental measurements to determine the dynamic load factor (DLF) of train on the urban railway in Vietnam. Simulation calculations are performed by SIMPACK software. Dynamic measurement experiments were conducted on Cat Linh – Ha Dong line. The simulation and experimental results provide the DLF values with the largest difference of 2.46% when the train speed varies from 0 km/h to 80 km/h

In this paper we present a dynamic analysis of a general spherical four-link mechanism whose links have arbitrary mass distribution. Results, which are in explicit analytical expressions in terms of inertia-induced forces and moments in links, are useful for optimum design of the mechanism under high-speed operation.
