Mixed analysis of shell and solid elements using the overlaying mesh method

 This article presents a mixed method of analyzing shell elements and solid elements using the overlaying mesh method. In the structural design of a ship's hull, the shell elements are used for the global model. However, the solid elements are necessary to analyze the stress concentration zones or the vicinity of a crack. In such cases, the models are analyzed using zooming analysis, in which the results of a global model analysis are transferred to a local model analysis by imposing boundary conditions. This method is more advantageous than zooming analysis in terms of the accuracy of the solution and the modeling flexibility. Some examples of a plate model with a cracked surface or with a projection are shown in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.

Numerical simulation of the flow about self-propelling tanker models

A time-marching CFD simulation is performed for self-propelling ships. The flow about the hull is simulated by the finite-volume method, and the propeller action is approximated as a propeller disk for which the solution is given by a simplified propeller model. The interaction of two flow models is treated in a time-marching procedure converging towards the steady self-propelling condition. This method is applied to five tanker models, and detailed comparisons are made between the simulated results and corresponding experimental results. It is shown that the flow field in the self-propelling condition is qualitatively well reproduced in the simulation, and the estimated thrust deduction factors for the five hull forms agree well with measured ones. However, the effective wake factors are underestimated, since the Reynolds number in the simulations differs from that in the experiment.

有限元和条分结合法计算边坡静力稳定性探讨

对于边坡稳定性计算通常采用不平衡推力法（如瑞典圆弧法和Bisho法等）和有限元计算方法，两者在计算本质上没有区别，但在计算过程中都存在不足。不平衡推力法在稳定性计算时要对潜在的滑面进行假设搜索，相对计算工作量较大，然而采用有限元分析的方法，在计算过程中往往由于判断收敛标准的不同，会出现不同的稳定性计算结果。文章利用两者的优点进行结合，分析计算得到边坡在静力条件下的稳定性。
