Wind Load Analysis owing to the Computation Fluid Dynamics and Wind Tunnel Test of a Container Crane

Container cranes are vulnerable structure to difficult weather conditions bemuse there is no shielding facility to protect them from strong wind. This study was carried out to analyze the effect of wind load on the structure of a container crane according to the change of the boom shape using wind tunnel test and computation fluid dynamics. And we provide a container crane designer with data which am be used in a wind resistance design of a container crane assuming that a wind load 75m/s wind velocity is applied in a container crane. In this study, we applied mean wind load conformed to `Design Criteria of Wind Load` in `Load Criteria of Building Structures` and an external fluid field was divided as interval of 10 degrees to analyze the effect according to a wind direction. In this conditions, we carried out the wind tunnel test and the computation fluid dynamic analysis and than we analyzed the wind load which was needed to design the container crane.

A Study on the Effect of Wind Load to an Articulated type Container Crane by Fluid-Structural Coupled Field Analysis

This study was carried out to the effect of wind load on the structural stability of an articulated type container crane according to the wind direction assuming that 75m/s wind velocity is applied on a container crane using FSI(fluid-structural interaction). To consider fluid phenomenon around the container crane, the wind load was derived by the computation fluid dynamic, and it applied to the FSI which can guarantee an accuracy and a reliability in the design stage for wind resistant structural stability to minimize the damage due to high wind load applied in a container crane with a `ㄱ` type articulated boom which used in the total height restriction region. Following from this, the reaction force on the each support of a container crane was suggested. ANSYS ICEM CFD 10.0 and ANSYS CFX 10.0 used for computation fluid dynamic, and the ANSYS Workbench 11.0 was used for the fluid-structural interaction.

The Effect of the Area Ratio and the Distance Ratio on Bending Stiffness of Two Rectangular Spot-Welded Plates

The mechanical behavior of two rectangular spot-welded plates under bending is investigated in detail. The equivalent thickness of spot-welded plates is introduced in this study and used in explaining the results. The focus of the analysis is to evaluate the effect of spot-welding from the view point of equivalent thickness. The investigation of deflection has been performed as comparing the result from finite element analysis with the measured data of the spot-welded plates for various parameters, such as aspect ratio, area ratio, and distance ratio of spot-welding points. The effect of spot-welding is as large as 62%(at r

Effect of Water Jetting on Soil Properties and Spud-Can Penetration/Extraction in Various Soil Conditions: Numerical Simulation vs. Physical Model Test

ABSTRACT Spud-cans are used for fixing jack-up rigs on seabed. The spud-can needs to be inserted up to the required depth during the installation process in sand to secure enough soil resistance and prevent overturning accidents. In the clay case, its penetration depth is much larger and it typically takes long time to extract it from the large burial depth. In both cases, water jetting is needed to make it possible or expedite the process. To achieve such goals, spud-can may be equipped with water-jetting system including monitoring and control. In this regard, authors developed a numerical simulation tool by using a commercial FE (finite element) program ANSYS and the extended Drucker–Prager (EDP) equation involving water-jetting effect. Authors also conducted small-scale (1/100) physical model tests to validate the developed analytical/numerical model. By comparing the numerical model against experiment, essential physics are drawn with calibrated soil properties including the effects of water jetting. Then, by using the tuned soil properties, the numerical simulations reproduced the essential characteristics and behaviours of the model tests with sand and K(kaolin)-clay. Finally, for further verification, the cases of sand/K-clay multi-layer with and without water jetting are cross-checked against experimental results to show reasonably good agreement.

According to previous research, the load ratio between two adjacent windswept with respect to the wind direction has unstable value due to vortex around windswept. This causes the result that increases an error on the wind direction. In this study we compared and analyzed the difference between the load ratio with respect to three type windswept shapes in order to suggest the proper windswept shape to reduce this error. The computational fluid flow analysis is carried out with ANSYS CFX to analyze the load ratio between three windswept shapes. Wind direction was adopted as the design variable, and selected 9 wind direction conditions from 0

Relationship between the Initial Clamping Force and the Position of Supporter in the Wedge Type Rail Clamp

The wedge type rail clamp compresses with small clamping force at first, and with large clamping force when the wind speed increases bemuse of the wedge working. At this time in order to display the wedge working, the rail clamp slips along a rail. If the supporter is not installed in the rail clamp when the wind speed increases more and more, the structure will occur overload which leads the structure to fracture. So the supporter has to be installed in the rail clamp. The proper position of this supporter is determined by the initial clamping force and the wege angle. Therefore in this study we adopted 5-kinds of wedge angle as the design parameters, and carried out the finite element analysis, in order to analyze the relationship between the initial clamping force and the position of supporter in the wedge type rail clamp.
