The paper presents simulations of the state of stress and deformation of the Kilo class submarine hull loaded from pressure wave of non-contact mine explosion. To accomplish the task the finite element method was used. Pressure wave was described by T. L. Geers’a and K. S. Hunter model. The way of modeling the pressure wave using the acoustic medium implemented to CAE programs was shown. To describe the material an elastic-plastic model of Jonson-Cook which takes into account the speed of deformation was used. The paper presents pressure distribution on the Kilo type submarine hull exposed on 100 kg of TNT explosion load in front of the bow of the ship.

Aim of this paper is to study the impact between the sailing boat keel and the ground and to look for the optimal configuration of the bulb-keel-hull system able to direct the damage in the bulb-keel zone avoiding the hull region. The research, which is carried out in collaboration with Wally shipyard, requires firstly an accurate investigation of the bulb-keel-hull system geometry, of the boat inertial properties and of the impact condition. Secondly, a numerical dynamic analysis by means of the finite element method allows to model the impact and to determine how, during the collision, the state of stress varies and how the kinetic energy is absorbed/dissipated. Starting from these results, the performance of the present configuration is evaluated in several conditions and some proposals for new design configuration are made. In particular the results carried out from the new design analyses were evaluated comparing themselves to results obtained from experimental studies.

Dynamic analyses play an important role in the process of designing buildings in the vicinity of transportation routes. The Finite Element Method is the most popular modelling technique, because it allows to simulate the structure response in the higher frequency range properly. However, the results of such analyses depend on many factors and can differ a lot. This paper discusses the impact of the building mass estimation and neglecting or including damping in the analysis on the assessment of influence of vibrations due to traffic on people.

The research on population shows that the count of overweight people has been constantly growing. Therefore, designing and modifying utility items, e.g., furniture should be brought into focus. Indeed, furniture function and safety is associated with the weight of a user. Current processes and standards dealing with the design of seating furniture do not meet the requirements of overweight users. The research is aimed at designing flexible chairs consisting of lamellae using the finite element method (FEM). Three types of glued lamellae based on wood with different number of layers and thickness were made and subsequently, their mechanical properties were tested. Values for modulus of elasticity and modulus of rupture were used to determine stress and deformation applying the FEM method for modelling flexible chairs. In this research, the methodology for evaluating the ultimate state of flexible chairs used to analyse deformation and stability was defined. The analysis confirms that several designed constructions meet the requirements of actual standards (valid for the weight of a user up to 110 kg) but fail to meet the requirements for weight gain of a population.

This paper proposes an ultrasonic knife system for MEMS packaging. The ultrasonic knife system is consisted of an ultrasonic transducer, a cutter and a gripper feeder. The ultrasonic transducer engenders high frequency vibration, which lead to the resonance of the structure. Amplitude transformer can magnify the amplitude. By the impact and collision of the cutter, the material can be cut through, and the high temperature created by high-frequency vibration can do the welding. The structure is designed and optimized by the finite element method, and a model machine is produced. According to the experimental results, the ultrasonic knife system has the virtues of high cutting force and better wedding feature, which are suitable for MEMS packaging.

In this study, a new, effective procedure is proposed for identifying the surface roughness from the responses recorded of two connected test vehicles moving over the bridge. Central to this study is the proposal of a simple static correlation formula for relating the dynamic deflections of the two vehicles’s contact points on the bridge, via the displacement influence lines (DILs). With the aid of this relation, the roughness formula for estimating the bridge surface profile is derived using the responses of the leading and following vehicles. It does not require any prior knowledge of the dynamic properties of the bridge. The efficacy of the proposed procedure is validated for both the simple and three-span continuous beams by the finite element method (FEM). Also, a parametric study is conducted for various physical properties of the test vehicles. It is confirmed that the roughness profiles back-calculated from the proposed formula agree excellently with the assumed ones for both the simple and continuous beams. For use in practice, the two connected test vehicles should not be designed too heavy and not to move at too fast speeds, in order to reduce the impact on the bridge.

This paper investigates the mechanical properties of a new type of hollow sphere structure. For this new type, the sphere shell is perforated by several holes in order to open up the inner sphere volume and surface. The mechanical behaviour of perforated sphere structures under large deformations and strains in a primitive cubic arrangement is numerically evaluated by using the finite element method for different hole diameters and different joining techniques.

In this paper an analysis of the stress state of the hull of the ship Kormoran II loaded by non-contact mine explosion were performed. An empirical description of the pressure wave from the non-contact TNT explosion loads reported by authors such as RH Cole T. L. Geers and K.S. Hunter was used. The way of modeling the pressure wave using the acoustic medium implemented CAE programs was shown. The paper presents the results of pressure distribution on the hull of the ship Kormoran II at selected time points from TNT explosion under the keel of the ship. The paper presents detailed results of the stress state in the selected nodes, for example on the frame of main motor construction.
