In this study, dynamic response analysis of a heave compensation system for offshore drilling operations was conducted based on multibody dynamics. The efficiency of the heave compensation system was computed using simulation techniques and virtually confirmed before being applied to drilling operations. The heave compensation system was installed on a semi-submersible and comprises several interconnected bodies with various joints. Therefore, a dynamics kernel based on multibody dynamics was developed to perform dynamic response analysis. The recursive Newton–Euler formulation was adopted to construct the equations of motion for the multibody system. Functions of the developed dynamics kernel were verified by comparing them with those from other studies. Hydrostatic force, linearized hydrodynamic force, and pneumatic and hydraulic control forces were considered the external forces acting on the platform of the semi-submersible rig and the heave compensation system. The dynamic simulation was performed for the heave compensation system of the semi-submersible rig for drilling operations up to 3600 m water depth. From the results of the simulation, the efficiency of the heave compensation system was evaluated to be approximately 96.7%.

In this paper an alternative method for dynamic response analysis of large space structures is presented, for which conventional finite element analysis would require excessive computer storage and computational time. Latticed structures in which the height is very small in comparison to its overall length and width are considered. The method is based on the assumption that the structure can be embedded in its continuum, in which any fiber can translate and rotate without deforming. An appropriate kinematically admissable series function is constructed to descrbe the deformation of the middle plane of this continuum. The unknown coefficients in this function are called the degree-of-freedom of the continuum, which is given the name “super element.” Transformation matrices are developed to express the equations of motion of the actual systems in terms of the degrees-of-freedom of the super element. Thus, by changing the number of terms in the assumed function, the degrees-of-freedom of the super element can be increased or decreased. The super element response results are transformed back to obtain the desired response results of the actual system. The method is demonstrated for a structure woven in the shape of an Archimedian spiral.

We evaluated the performance of a high-rise residential building model in Purwokerto, Indonesia due to the seismic load. The evaluation was performed based on seismic loads given in the 2002 and 2012 Indonesian National Standard (SNI) using linear static analysis, dynamic response analysis and pushover analysis. Based on the linear static analysis, the drift ratio decreased by an average of 34.42 and 32.61% for the X and Y directions respectively. Meanwhile, based on the dynamic response analysis, the drift ratio also decreased by an average of 30.74 and 27.33% for the X and Y directions respectively. In addition, the pushover analysis indicates that the performance of this high-rise residential building model is still at Immediate Occupancy (IO) level. The post-earthquake damage state in which the building remains safe to occupy, essentially retaining the pre-earthquake design strength and stiffness of the structure. The risk of life-threatening injury as a result of structural damage is very low. Although some minor structural repairs may be appropriate, these would generally not be required prior to re-occupancy.
