Hello everyone,
I have to admit that I was not really good at respecting my
2016 resolution to keep the blog updated…but you know, time flies!
Anyway I’ll try to do better in future.
The first 7 months are gone very fast, and honestly I still
don’t realize that. In these months, in addition to get use to a new city,
environment and weather (I’ll speak about that in a future post…maybe when I’ll
be able to post some ‘spring’ pictures), I’ve carried out literature review
mainly on fatigue assessment and structural reliability. How do you say,
provide the basis for the following steps?!
This week I have submitted the last of the two reviewing papers
I have written for two conferences. The deadlines have been respected; now I
have to wait for the response, so finger cross! With these two papers I would
say that the state of the art has been left behind; that is, I know that I will
deal again and again with literature reviewing, but I like to think that the majority
of it is done.
Before pointing out the most interesting aspects found out
with this literature review, a picture of a common ship unloader with the name
of the elements could be useful to understand what I am speaking about…
Results from recent fatigue assessment carried out showed
that a full dynamic analysis would be useful in order to better model the
physical behaviour of the structure and to take into account some stresses that
have shown to be highly dynamic. Therefore, as soon as the model is built a
dynamic analysis will be carried out.
It is interesting to note that the end pins at the front tie
members are not free to rotate as they should be, and consequently unexpected
bending stresses arise leading to safety problems. This phenomenon will be
taken into account in the model with rotatory springs modelling the connections
between elements.
So I hope in the next post I’ll be able to show you a bit
about this model…
See you soon and for whose of you in UK enjoy the long
weekend!
