Near Fault Earthquakes

Abstract Finite element method is known as the most common methods in a numerical analysis of reservoirs subjected to the influence of an earthquake. Investigating the effects of interaction between structures and fluid during the earthquake is among the major objectives of the present research. In this article, by selecting a variety of conventional modes of fluid storage, the dynamic effects of the reservoir and their mutual effects based on changes in physical parameters are analyzed. Unexpectedly, based on the results of this study, it was observed that the crisis situation always does not occur in the full state of the tank. Moreover, the filled and semi-filled reservoirs require seismic retrofitting for mode 10% below the tank height.

In this paper, numerical investigation on the fuselage structure of LSU 05 NG was carried out. This fuselage is designed to carry the payload up to 30 kg. Statical numerical analysis using finite element method was done using Simulia Abaqus. The fuselage structure that has been design consists of frame, longeron, and skin that can also be semi-monocoque structure. This airframe use combination of balsa and GFRP type of composite as the material. There are three load case: take-off condition, cruise condition, and landing condition. Tsai-hill failure criteria is used to investigate the strength of the composite structure due to the load that applied. Maximum stress from this calculation is 48 Mpa at the ground condition (take-off and landing) while the cruise stress analysis is 16 Mpa. The maximum tsai-hill criterion is 0,83. With such simulation results it can be said that the fuselage structure is still safe when operated and can also be optimized for several components so that the weight of the aircraft can be reduced.

Specific Behaviour

The paper presents some theoretical and practical issues, particularly useful to users of numerical methods, especially finite element method for the behaviour modelling of the foam materials. Given the characteristics of specific behaviour of the foam materials, the requirement which has to be taken into consideration is the compression, inclusive impact with bodies more rigid then a foam material, when this is used alone or in combination with other materials in the form of composite laminated with various boundary conditions. The results and conclusions presented in this paper are the results of our investigations in the field and relates to the use of LS-Dyna program, but many observations, findings and conclusions, have a general character, valid for use of any numerical analysis by FEM programs.

This paper is concerned with the numerical analysis of the mathematical model for a semiconductor device with the use of the Boltzmann equation. A mixed initial-boundary value problem for nonstationary Boltzmann-Poisson system in the case of one spatial variable is considered. A numerical algorithm for solving this problem is constructed and justified. The algorithm is based on an iterative process and the finite element method. A numerical example is presented.

<p>Underground laboratories provide a unique environment for various industries and are a suitable place for developing new technologies for mining, geophysical surveys, radiation detection, as well as many other studies and measurements. Unfortunately, any operation in underground excavations is associated with exposure to many hazards not necessarily encountered in surface laboratories. One of the most dangerous events observed in underground conditions is the dynamic manifestation of rock mass pressure in form of rockburst, roof falls and mining tremors. Therefore, proper evaluation of geomechanical risk is a key element ensuring the safety of work in underground conditions. Finite Element Method-based numerical analysis is one of the tools which allow conducting a detailed geomechanical hazard assessment already at the object design stage. The results of such calculations may be the basis for the implementation of preventive measures before running up the underground facility.</p><p>Within this paper, the three-dimensional FEM-based numerical analysis of large-scale underground laboratory located in deep Polish copper mine was presented. The calculations were made with GTS NX software, which allowed determining the changes in the safety factor in surrounding of the analyzed area. Finally, the possibility of underground laboratory establishment, with respect to predicted stress and strain conditions, were determined.</p>

A numerical analysis over influence of kinetic energy projectile sabot structure on the armour depth penetration is presented in the paper. The analysis has identified an influence of sabot different materials into projectile combat performance, and some areas of sabot structure where its shape can be optimised. The finite element method in Solidworks Simulation environment was used in analysis. Due to it the dynamical loads of the sabot at the time of firing could be investi-gated. The influence of sabot different materials and projectile geometry modifications on the strength of penetrator sabot joining was studied. A pattern of dynamical loads for the penetrator sabot joining was simulated and visualised. For selected options of the structure the calculations were performed over the terminal ballistics. It allowed an identification of potential development trends for this brand of ammunition.
