Abstract In this paper, a novel method, named the perturbed dynamical method, is proposed to solve nonlinear systems whose Jacobian matrix is singular. The concept of the proposed method roots from the conventional homotopy method but it takes the advantages of converting a vector function to a scalar function by using the square norm of the vector function to conduct a scalar-based homotopy method. Then, a small parameter, which is similar to the perturbation theory, is introduced to the singular systems of nonlinear equations such that the modified singular systems of nonlinear equations become nonsingular and the asymptotic solutions may be… More >

Abstract In this study, the exponentially convergent scalar homotopy algorithm (ECSHA) is proposed to solve the nonlinear optimization problems under equality and inequality constraints. The Kuhn-Tucker optimality conditions associated with NCP-functions are adopted to transform the nonlinear optimization problems into a set of nonlinear algebraic equations. Then the ECSHA is used to solve the resultant nonlinear equations. The proposed scheme keeps the merit of the conventional homotopy method, such as global convergence, but the inverse of the Jacobian matrix is avoid with the aid of the scalar homotopy function. Several numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed… More >

Abstract Recently composite materials are widely used in the building of transport airplanes. The first significant application of composite materials in commercial transports was an all composite rudder for A300/310 by Airbus in 1983. In 1985, Airbus introduced a composite vertical tail fin in the same airplanes. With the success of A300/310, Airbus introduced a full composite tail structure for A320. The composite weight of A320 is totaled to 15% of structure weight. In the late of 1970, NASA and major airframe companies such as Boeing, Lockheed, MD started the ACEE program. The main goal of this program was to reduce… More >

Abstract A two-dimensional heterogeneous hybrid moisture element method (HHMEM) for modeling transient moisture diffusion in permeable fiber-reinforced polymer composites is proposed in this paper.
The HHMEM scheme is based on a heterogeneous hybrid moisture element (HHME), whose properties are determined by equivalent moisture capacitance and conductance matrixes calculated using the conventional finite element formulation with the similarity mass/stiffness property and matrix condensing operations. A coupled HHME-FE scheme is developed and implemented in computer codes MATLAB to analyze the transient moisture diffusion characteristics of polymeric composite materials containing multiple permeable fibers. The analysis commences by comparing the performance of the proposed… More >

Abstract This paper focuses on the methodologies on strength and buckling of typical submarine pipeline (Pipe-in-pipe system) under high temperature and high pressure (HT/HP) conditions. The internal high pressure and high temperature of oil/gas, external hydraulic pressure in deepwater, variational frictional force of soil, and the complex structure of the PIP system make the equilibrium equation of the subsea pipeline exhibit strong nonlinear performance in such nonlinear boundary conditions. The numerical methods are summarized for solving the nonlinear equations in this paper. The paper also presents evaluation methods for the lateral and upheaval buckling of two types of pipe-in-pipe systems (compliant… More >

Abstract Water entry can be frequently observed in daily life and engineering and sciences. Typical examples include the entry of re-entry capsule of spacecrafts and submarine, landing of aircraft on water, and diving of sportsman. The phenomenon of water entry is of significant importance both in theory and practice. Numerical simulation of water entry problems is a formidable task and involves rapid movement and breakup of free surfaces, strong turbulence and vortex and violent fluid-solid interaction. Though conventional grid based methods like FDM, FVM and FEM have achieved greatly in computational fluid dynamics, there are still many difficulties in simulating water… More >

Abstract The need to assess the structural capability of marine composite structures that support the T-joints of composite ships has increased due to the rise in the number of accidents and human casualties. In this paper, the delamination behavior of T-joint under out-of-plane load was studied based on the cohesive zone damage model(CZD). Maximum interlaminar stress criterion was used to govern the damage initiation, and a bilinear damage evolution law was adopted to characterize the damage growth. The whole delamination process of T-joint was simulated and stress level after each delamination was characterized. The relationship between crack growth length and external… More >

Abstract With the number of submarines increasing rapidly, there are many accidents occurred during submarines’s cruising. Especially the universal attentions to submarine rescue are awaken by the Russian Navy’s second-generation strategic nuclear submarine "Kursk" accident.
One of the important means for submarine rescue is SRC. Since 70th last century abroad, Navy’s submarine rescue armies have been equipped with the SRCs. Entering 21th-century, it is necessary for mating exercises between SRC and disabled submarine(DISSUB) chosen still by Navy’s submarine rescue armies in Navy’s large military drills at home and abroad. The dedicated mating platforms for the SRCs are also fitted to… More >

Abstract Among many multiscale methods ,we choose the quasicontinuum method to understand the mechanical response at the nanocrystalline of grain boundaries(GBs) under tension. The energetic and mechanical strength of 6 i?"<110> symmetric tilt GBs are investigated in nanocrystalline Cu and Ni. We focus on discussing the interaction of the structural units of symmetric tilt GB for the initial deformation mode and the strength of model. At the basis of the previous, We study the nanocrystalline Cu/a-Al2O3 interface and analyze the relationship during the grains orientations, GB energy and interface. Special emphasis is placed on the crystal slip from the interface across… More >

Abstract This paper is concerned with the numerical investigation of the beam deflection on a nonlinear elastic foundation. Traditionally, the problem of nonlinear beams has usually been examined by utilizing semi-analytical approaches involving the perturbations of small parameters or by such numerical techniques as nonlinear finite element methods. However, in this paper, the nonlinear beam problem is analyzed with the help of a new method proposed by the author (TS Jang): it involves a contraction of Banach fixed point theorem based on a transformed nonlinear integral equation. The proposed method, straightforward to apply, only requires a fairly simple iteration to find… More >

Abstract The objective of this paper is to develop a simple and accurate prediction method for the ultimate strength calculations of ship hulls subject to vertical bending moments. The method is based on a credible bending stress distribution over the hull cross-section presumed at the ultimate limit state. The accuracy of this method is demonstrated through comparison with computations obtained using more refined methods, such as nonlinear finite element method, intelligent super-size finite element method, and idealized structural unit method. Statistical analysis of the hull girder ultimate strength based on comparisons among the various computations is carried out in terms of… More >

Abstract The behavior of structures due to blast loading is conveniently represented with single degree of freedom (SDOF) models. These simplifying models try to evaluate a structure using only one physical degree of freedom, the horizontal deflection. Advantages that still indicate the use of these state-of-practice or common practice models include the quick evaluation for assessment of structures, intuitive transition from static to dynamic models. The aim of this study is to estimate the maximum transient displacement and final (permanent) displacement of corrugated panels subjected to uniformly distributed dynamic loads using LS-DYNA and SDOF. SDOF presents a proposed analytical model for… More >

Abstract In offshore structures, fire is one of the most important hazardous events. This has been proved by several disasters such as Piper Alpha and Deepwater Horizon accidents. The concern of fires has recently been reflected in rules and quantified risk assessment based design practice. Within the framework of quantified risk assessment and management for offshore installations, therefore, more refined computations of consequences or hazardous action effects due to fire is required.
The aim of the present study is to examine the technologies involved in computations of nonlinear structural analysis of offshore structures subject to temperature due to fire. It… More >
