Although a yacht sails operate with large displacement due to very thin thickness, many studies for flow around yacht sails have not considered the sail deformation. The sail deformation not only caused a change in the center of effect(CE) on the sail but also a change in the thrust of the sail. The change of the CE and thrust affects the center of lateral resistance(CLR) and side forces of the hull, and the balance of the yacht. These changes affect the motion of the yacht which changes the velocity of the yacht. Thus, when analyzing the flow around yacht sails, the sail deformation should be considered. In the present study, fluid-structure-interaction(FSI) analysis of a two dimensional section of yacht sails was performed to consider the effects of sail deformation on the lift and drag performance. FSI and moving mesh methods were studied. Computational methods were verified using benchmark test cases such as the flow around horizontal and vertical cantilever beams. Shape deformation, pressure distribution, lift forces and separation flow were compared for both rigid and deformable sail.

In this paper, we propose an approach to parallelize a load balancing algorithm that was shown to be very effective in distributing workload for parallel computations. Load balancing algorithms are required in executing parallel program efficiently As a parallel computation model, we used dynamically growing tree structure that can be found in many application problems. The load balancing algorithm tries to balance the workload among processors while keeping the communication cost under certain limit. We show how the load balancing algorithm is effectively parallelized on mesh and hypercube interconnection networks, and analyzed the time complexity for each case to show that parallel algorithm actually reduced the various overhead.

The structural shape optimization is a useful tool for engineers to determine the shape of a structure. During the optimization process, relocations of nodes happen successively. However, excessive movement of nodes often results in the mesh distortion and eventually deteriorates the accuracy of the optimum solution. To overcome this problem, an efficient method for the shape optimization has been developed. The method starts from the design domain which is large enough to hold the possible shape of the structure. The design domain has pre-defined uniform fine meshes. At every cycle, the method judges whether all the elements are inside of the structure or not. Elements inside of the structure are assigned with real material properties, however elements outside of the structure are assigned with nearly zero values. The performance of the method is evaluated through various examples.

The traditional computational fluid or structure dynamics analysis approaches have contributed to solve many delicate engineering problems. But for the most of recent engineering problems which are influenced by fluid-structure interaction effect strongly, traditional individual approaches have limited analysis abilities for the exact simulation. Owing to above-mentioned reason, nowadays fluid-structure interaction analysis has become a matter of concern and interest. FSI analysis require several unprecedented techniques for the combining individual analysis tool into integrated analysis tool. The Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian(ALE, in short) method is the new description of continum motion,which combines the advantages of the classical kinematical descriptions, i.e. Lagrangian and Eulerian description, while minimizing their respective drawbacks. In this paper, the ALE description is adapted to simulate fluid-structure interaction problems. An automatic re-mesh algorithm and a fluid-structure coupling process are included to analyze the interaction and moving motion during the 2-D axisymmetric solid rocket interior FSI phenomena simulation.

This paper presents a fully three-dimensional numerical approach for analyzing deepwater drilling riser-conductor system vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) including nonlinear soil-structure interactions (SSI). The drilling riser-conductor system is modeled as a tensioned beam with linearly distributed tension and is solved by a fully implicit discretization scheme. The fluid field around the riser-conductor system is obtained by Finite-Analytic Navier-Stokes (FANS) code, which numerically solves the unsteady Navier-Stokes equations. The SSI is considered by modeling the lateral soil resistance force according to nonlinear p-y curves. Overset grid method is adopted to mesh the fluid domain. A partitioned fluid-structure interaction (FSI) method is achieved by communication between the fluid solver and riser motion solver. A riser-conductor system VIV simulation without SSI is firstly presented and served as a benchmark case for the subsequent simulations. Two SSI models based on a nonlinear p-y curve are then applied to the VIV simulations. Also, the effects of two key soil properties on the VIV simulations of riser-conductor systems are studied.

During ship design, welding-induced distortions are roughly estimated as a function of the size of the component as well as the welding process and residual stresses are assumed to be locally in the range of the yield stress. Existing welding simulation methods are very complex and time-consuming and therefore not applicable to large structures like ships. Simplified methods for the estimation of welding effects were and still are subject of several research projects, but mostly concerning smaller structures. The main goal of this paper is the application of a multi-layer welding simulation to the block joint of a ship structure. When welding block joints, high constraints occur due to the ship structure which are assumed to result in accordingly high residual stresses. Constraints measured during construction were realized in a test plant for small-scale welding specimens in order to investigate their and other effects on the residual stresses. Associated welding simulations were successfully performed with fine-mesh finite element models. Further analyses showed that a courser mesh was also able to reproduce the welding-induced reaction forces and hence the residual stresses after some calibration. Based on the coarse modeling it was possible to perform the welding simulation at a block joint in order to investigate the influence of the resulting residual stresses on the behavior of the real structure, showing quite interesting stress distributions. Finally it is discussed whether smaller and idealized models of definite areas of the block joint can be used to achieve the same results offering possibilities to consider residual stresses in the design process.

Recently, a mesh-size insensitive structural stress definition that provides a stress state at weld toe with relatively larger mesh size compared to conventional approaches has been proposed. The structural stress definition is based on the elementary structural mechanics theory and provides an effective measure of a stress state in front of weld toe. In this study, as an experimental validation of structural stress method in obtaining the fatigue strength of weldments, a series of fatigue test has carried out for longi-web connections, which are representative of ship-like structures. Based on the result from this study, it is expected to develop a more precise fatigue strength evaluation technique and to reduce time and cost associated with the fatigue design of ship and offshore structures.

The merits of activated carbon for removal of organic compounds have been well known in the various industrial fields. Fixing methods with activated carbon in the non-woven fabric have the advantages of fast adsorption and ease of handling when compared with bonding and coating methods. In this study, we have examined deodorization of non-woven fabrics fixed with activated carbon. We have been tested the deodorization of various kinds activated carbon and non-woven fabric structures. The effective mixing ratio of activated carbon was 5% on the weight of fabrics, which are closely related to the fabric structure. The activated carbon with higher mesh size show the better deodorization effect.

This paper describes the generation of chordal surface for various shell structures, such as automobile bodies, plastic injection mold components and shell metal parts. After one-layered tetrahedral mesh is generated by an advancing front algorithm, the chordal surface is generated by cutting a tetrahedral element. It is generated one or two elements at a tetrahedral element and the chordal surface is composed with triangular or quadrilateral elements. This algorithm has been tested on several models with rib structure.

본 논문에서는 삼각형 메쉬(triangular mesh)로 이루어진 3차원 모델의 연결 정보(connectivity data)와 형상 정보(geometry data)를 삼각형 팬(triangle fan) 구조에 기반하여 효율적으로 압축하는 부호화 기법을 제안한다. 첫째로, 연결 정보의 무손실 부호화로 꼭지점 차수 왜곡(vertex degree warping) 기법을 제안한다. 기존의 알고리듬이 연결 정보와 형상 정보를 분리하여 부호화하는데 반해 제안하는 알고리듬은 연결 정보를 부호화하는데 형상 정보를 이용하여 압축 효율을 높인다. 둘째로, 형상 정보를 압축하기 위해 이중 평행사변형 예측(dual parallelogram prediction) 기법을 제안한다. 삼각형 팬 구조를 이용함으로써 기존의 삼각형 스트립(triangle strip) 기반의 알고리듬보다 정확한 형상 예측이 가능하고, 예측 오차가 작아지게 된다. 다양한 3차원 메쉬 모델에 대한 모의 실험을 통하여 제안하는 알고리듬이 기존의 알고리듬보다 우수한 압축 성능을 나타냄을 확인하다.
