A floating crane is a crane-mounted ship and is used to assemble or to transport heavy blocks in shipyards. In this paper, the static and dynamic response of a floating crane and a heavy block that are connected using elastic booms and wire ropes are described. The static and dynamic equations of surge, pitch, and heave for the system are derived on the basis of flexible multibody system dynamics. The equations of motion are fully coupled and highly nonlinear since they involve nonlinear mass matrices, elastic stiffness matrices, quadratic velocity vectors, and generalized external forces. A floating frame of reference and nodal coordinates are employed to model the boom as a flexible body. The nonlinear hydrostatic force, linear hydrodynamic force, wire-rope force, and mooring force are considered as the external forces. For numerical analysis, the Hilber-Hughes-Taylor method for implicit integration is used. The dynamic responses of the cargo are analyzed with respect to the results obtained by static and numerical analyses.

In this study, an analysis method for the earthquake response of an offshore wind turbine model is developed, considering the effects of the fluid-structure-soil interaction. The turbine is modeled as a tower with a lumped mass at the top of it. The tower is idealized as a tubular cantilever founded on flexible seabed. Substructure and Rayleigh-Ritz methods are used to derive the governing equation of a coupled structure-fluid-soil system incorporating interactions between the tower and sea water and between the foundation and the flexible seabed. The sea water is assumed to be a compressible but non-viscous ideal fluid. The impedance functions of a rigid footing in water-saturated soil strata are obtained from the Thin-Layer Method (TLM) and combined with the superstructure model. The developed method is applied to the earthquake response analysis of an offshore wind turbine model. The method is verified by comparing the results with reference solutions. The effects of several factors, such as the flexibility of the tower, the depth of the sea water, and the stiffness of the soil, are examined and discussed. The relative significance of the fluid-structure interaction over the soil-structure interaction is evaluated and vice versa.

Dynamic response of floating structures such as floating body and floating bridges subject to wave load is to be calculated in frequency domain. Added mass coefficient, damping coefficient and wave exciting force are obtained numerically from frequency domain formulation of linear potential theory and boundary element method for a floating body which is partially submerged into water and subjected to wave force. Next, the equation of motion for the dynamic behavior of a floating structure which is supported by the floating bodies and modeled with finite elements is written in frequency domain. hker a hemisphere is analyzed and compared with the published references as examples of floating bodies, the hydrodynamic coefficients for a pontoon type floating body which supports a floating bridge are determined. The dynamic response of the floating bridge subject to design wave load can be solved using the coefficients obtained for the pontoons and the results are plotted in the frequency domain. It can be seen from the example analysis that although the peak frequency of the incoming wave spectrum is near the natural frequency of the bridge, the response of the bridge is not amplified due to the effect that the peak frequency of wave exciting force is away from the natural frequency of the bridge.

A mechanical lumped parameter model is proposed for the dynamic modeling of a semi-infinite reservoir. A semi-analytic transmitting boundary is derived for a semi-infinite 2-D reservoir of constant depth. The characteristics of the solution are examined in both frequency and time domains. Mass, damping and spring coefficients of the mechanical model are obtained to preserve the major features of the solution such as eigenfrequencies and the shapes of Bessel functions that appear as kernels in the convolution integrals. The lumped parameter model in its final form consists of two masses, a spring and two dampers for each eigenfrequency. Application examples demonstrated that the new lumped parameter model could be used for the time domain analysis of dam-reservoir systems.

An intelligent control technique using a neural network is proposed for offshore structures exposed to sea-bed earthquakes. Fluid-structure interaction effect was considered in developing controller and a training algorithm for the neural network is presented. In the numerical example, the performance of the proposed neural network controller was compared with that of a passive controller and uncontrolled structures. Based on the example, it can be concluded that the proposed neuro-control scheme can be used for offshore structures with nonlinear characteristics due to its interaction with fluid.

Unlike structures in the air, the vibration analysis of a submerged or floating structure such as offshore structures is possibly only when the fluid-structures is understood, as the whole or part of the structure is in contact with water. Through the comparision between the experimental result and the finite element analysis result for a simple cylindrical model, it was verified that an added mass effects on the cylindrical structure. Using the commercial FEA program ANSYS(v.11.0), underwater added mass was superposed on the mass matrix of the structure. A frequency response analysis of forced vibration in the frequency considered the dynamic load was also performed. It was proposed to find the several important modes of resonance peak for these fixed cylindrical type structures. Furthermore, it is expected that the analysis method and the data in this study can be applied to a dynamic structural design and dynamic performance evaluation for the ground and marine purpose of power generator by wind.

The dynamic instability and natural frequency of elastically restrained pipe conveying fluid with the attached mass are investigated in this paper. Based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, the equation of motion is derived by using extended Hamilton's Principle. The influence of attached mass and its position on the dynamic instability of a elastically restrained pipe system is presented. Also, the critical flow velocity for the flutter and divergence due to the variation in the position and stiffness of supported spring is studied. Finally, the critical flow velocities and stability maps of the pipe conveying fluid with the attached mass are obtained by changing the parameters.

To consider effects of essential parameters of water impact pressure on dynamic structural responses of bow bottom structures, a parametric study for a ship bottom panel is carried out. The idealized pressure time history models were assumed by triangular and rectangular shapes in time domain. The main loading parameters are duration time and peak pressure value maintaining the same impulse value. The structural models for local bottom stiffened panels of a container ship are analysed. The natural frequency analysis and transient dynamic response analysis are performed using MSC/NASTRAN. Added mass effects of contacting water are considered and the pressure distributions are assumed to be uniform in the whole water contacting surface. The effects of loading parameters on the structural responses, especially maximum displacements, are considered. Besides the peak pressure value, effects of duration time correlated with natural frequencies are thought to be the important parameters.

In this study, computational structural dynamic analyses of a gyrocopter have been conducted considering unsteady dynamic hub-loads due to rotating blades. 3D CATIA models with detailed mechanical parts we constructed and virtually assembled into the complete aircraft configuration. The dynamic loading generated by rotating blades in the forward flight condition are calculated by a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code such as FLUENT. Modal based transient and frequency response analyses are used to efficiently investigate vibration characteristics of the gyrocopter. Free vibration analysis results for different fuel and pilot conditions, frequency responses and transient responses for critical flight conditions are also presented in detail.

수자원 공급의 시 공간적 편차가 큰 우리나라에서는 수자원을 이용하기 위해서 다수의 댐을 건설하고 있다. 특히, 생활수준의 향상으로 용수 수요가 급증하였기 때문에 용수가 부족한 곳에는 광역상수도 사업 등을 통하여 용수를 공급하고 있다. 댐에서 용수가 공급되기까지의 과정은 일종의 관수로 흐름으로 생각할 수 있다. 관수로 내를 흐르는 유체가 갑자기 정지하게 되면, 유체 운동 에너지의 변화가 유발되고, 그로 인해 관내에 급격한 압력의 상승이 일어나게 된다. 반대로 정지하고 있던 유체가 빠른 속도로 흐르게 되면 압력 감소가 급격하게 발생한다. 이와 같이 유체 운동 상태의 급변에 의한 압력변화와 그에 따른 압력파가 음속의 속도로 상 하류로 전파되는 현상을 수격작용(waterhammer)이라 한다. 통상적으로 수격작용은 밸브 개폐 정도가 갑자기 바뀔 때, 펌프의 급격한 기동이나 정지 시, 터빈 내 전력소요가 갑자기 바뀔 때, 댐 수위의 갑작스런 변화, 펌프 임펠러의 진동, 물 수요의 급격한 변화 등에 의해 발생하며, 수격작용은 유체의 질량과 운동량 때문에 관 벽에 큰 힘을 가하게 되어 정상적인 동수압 보다 몇 배나 큰 압력을 발생시킴으로 관 자체는 물론 펌프, 밸브, 터빈 등 관 시설물을 파손시키거나 진동, 소음 등을 야기시킴으로 대규모 건물, 공장, 발전소 등을 설계할 경우 그에 대한 적절한 대책을 강구하여야 한다. 특히 댐에 연결된 저수지 또는 조정지로부터의 도수로가 압력수로이며 그 길이가 상당히 크면 수차가 급정지했을 경우 수격작용에 의해서 압력터널 내에 과도한 압력상승이 일어난다. 이 압력상승을 방지함과 함께 발전소 부하의 증감에 따라서 수량을 공급하거나, 흡수할 목적으로 압력도수로와 수압관과의 접합부에 자유수면이 있는 수조를 설치한다. 이것을 조압수조(surge tank)라 한다(최영박, 1979). 조압수조에서 부하의 급속한 차단에 의해서 수차로 유입될 수량이 차단되면 도수로 내로 흘러 들어온 물은 관성 때문에 수조 내의 수위를 상승시키고, 수조 수위가 어느 정도 이상으로 되어 저수지 수위 보다 상승하면 수조로의 유입이 정지하고 반대로 수조에서 저수지로 역류하여 수조수위는 하강한다. 즉, 조압수조는 도수로 내에 발생한 과도한 압력을 수조 내 수면의 승강운동을 이용하여 감소시키고 원래의 안정적인 수위로 회복시킨다. 본 연구에서는 수격작용에 대한 댐 안정성을 확보하는 수단 중의 하나인 조압수조에 대해 살펴보았다. 연구대상으로 용담댐을 선정하였다. 용담댐에 대한 기존의 검토결과 수직 갱의 지름이 5m 이상이면 조압수조의 동적안정조건을 만족 시키는 것으로 조사되었다. 댐의 설계홍수위인 EL. 265.5m를 기준으로 조압수조의 안정성을 감소시키지 않는 범위 내에서 조압수조 내 격벽 설치 유 무에 따른 수조의 최적 크기를 산정하였다. 산정결과를 분석한 결과 동일 조건에서 격벽을 설치한 경우가 격벽을 설치하지 않은 경우에 비해서 조압수조의 면적이 약 21% 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.
