Seminar: Finite Element Analysis in Ocean Engineering Applications
POST 723 1680 East-West Road, HonoluluOzgur Demir ORE Postdoctoral Fellow *In-person ONLY (POST 723)* *request Zoom Link here for extenuating circumstances by Wednesday (1/21) @ 11:59 pm HST This talk presents the application of finite element methods (FEM) to a range of problems in ocean and coastal engineering, including offshore structures, breakwaters, hydroelastic systems, and fluid–structure interaction (FSI). The presentation will cover modeling strategies, element formulations, material and geometric nonlinearities, and coupling with fluid solvers. Several case studies will be discussed, such as wave–structure interaction, composite and layered marine structures, and FSI simulations using commercial and open-source tools. The goal is to demonstrate how FEM-based approaches
MS Plan A Defense: Fluid-Structure Interaction Analysis of an Oscillating Wave Surge Energy Converter using LS-Dyna
POST 723 1680 East-West Road, HonoluluKyle Pappas Master’s Student Department of Ocean and Resources Engineering University of Hawai’i at Mānoa **This defense will be held both in person (POST 723) and over Zoom** Meeting ID: 936 1681 5822 Passcode: KyleMS https://hawaii.zoom.us/j/93616815822 Three-Dimensional two-way coupled fluid structure interaction (FSI) analysis requires a complex strategy utilizing the finite element method (FEM) for large matrix computations. Two FEM solvers in LS Dyna are utilized to conduct a structural analysis of the Hawai’i Wave Surge Energy Converter (HAWSEC) for a particular wave condition case study that is directly compared with experimental results. The HAWSEC is a hollow, surface piercing,
Seminar: Fundamentals of Collision and Constraint Dynamics: Review and Potential Applications in Ocean Engineering
Zoom Meeting ID______ 935 9608 7383 Passcode: OREseminarAlbert S. Kim Professor and Graduate Chair Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering University of Hawai'i at Mānoa Hydrodynamic impacts and interactions between fluid flow and solid objects--both moving and stationary--are of great importance in various engineering disciplines from nano- to ocean-scale phenomena. These processes include aggregate/aggregation dynamics of sub-micron particles (as point masses), granular dynamics (as inelastic bodies of finite volumes) for pharmaceutical manufacturing processes and sediment transport in ocean engineering, and classical dynamics of rigid bodies as big as vehicles and shipping containers. Although the collision and constraint dynamics applications have vast length-scale ranges, the principles and
