An efficient high-performance computing based three-dimensional numerical wave basin model for the design of fluid-structure interaction experiments

Creator:: Nimmala, Seshu B.
Abstract:: Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) is an interesting and challenging interdisciplinary area comprised of fields such as engineering- fluids/structures/solids, computational science, and mathematics. FSI has several practical engineering applications such as the design of coastal infrastructure (such as bridges, levees) subjected to harsh environments from natural forces such as tsunamis, storm surges,...

Tsunami Simulation Using OpenSees : Validation of Bridge Response and Exploration of Shallow Water Flow

Creator:: Cressman, Luke R.
Abstract:: The finite element software framework, OpenSees, has been used by researchers to simulate the response of structural and geotechnical systems to earthquake loading. Implementation of the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM) has made it possible to simulate hydrodynamic forces through fluid-structure interaction (FSI) in OpenSees. To validate the FSI implementation...

Large–Scale Laboratory Experiment and Numerical Simulation of Tsunami Forces on a Bridge Deck

Creator:: Xiang, Tao
Abstract:: The fluid impact forces on a bridge superstructure in horizontal and vertical directions due to tsunamis represented by solitary waves are investigated through a large-scale laboratory experiment and numerical simulations. The experiment is conducted in a two-dimensional wave basin using a 1:5 scaled reinforced concrete bridge deck model tested under...

An Approach to Modeling Fuel Plate Deformations in Fluid-Structure Interactions

Creator:: Howard, Trevor
Abstract:: As computational power increases, so does the desire to use fluid-structure interaction (FSI) software to design complex systems and components such as fuel plates. Presently, an effort is underway to support the design and qualification of a new nuclear fuel material which is intended for applications in select, plate-type, research...

A responsiveness metric for controllable characters

Creator:: Oregon State University. Dept. of Computer Science, Srinivasan, Madhusudhanan, and Metoyer, Ronald A., 1971-
Abstract:: This paper presents an empirical approach for measuring and characterizing the responsiveness of a character to changes in goal. Our approach is based on keeping track of the character's progress towards a frequently changing goal. A "distance-to-goal" function is defined to measure the progress. We then calculate an asymptotic proportion...

Comprehensive Characterization of Motion of a Helical Coil Due to Flow Induced Vibration

Creator:: Harmon, Paul L.
Abstract:: Mechanical vibrations compromise the integrity of key components of thermal power plants. Without careful design, strong resonances during steady state operation can wear these components to the point of failure, leading to an unsafe situation that may force a plant to shut down. The purpose of this research is to...

A predictive model for environmental fate and transport of the toxicity of leachates from highway construction and repair materials

Creator:: Quigley, Marcus M.
Abstract:: Recent concern over the potential environmental impact of highway construction and repair materials on surface and ground waters has lead to extensive laboratory screening and subsequent testing of a set of new materials and waste amended mixes. As part of Phase II of a three-phase project for the National Cooperative...

A computer imaging method for fluid motion studies in metal casting

Creator:: Poland, John H.
Abstract:: Significant reductions in the number of defects in parts produced by investment casting can be obtained by improving the flow of the molten metal during pouring. Studies have been done at Oregon State University with simulated casting techniques to determine optimal mold configurations. Better mold layouts have been shown to...
