3791. SCL Tunnel Design in the Real World

      Modelling Soil Structural Interaction during Tunnel Excavation - This seminar focused on numerical modelling of the complex interaction between soil and structure during tunnel excavation. This is a major talking point currently, with over 26 miles of tunnels being built under the UK'€™s capital city as part of Crossrail and numerous London Underground Station Upgrade projects. Ensuring that the tunnels are correctly designed is essential to ensure the safety of those involved in the tunnelling operation as well as ensuring that life above ground carries on without interruption. The event focused on modelling of the soil-structure interaction behaviour in tunnel construction, with...more

3792. Managing Simulation Quality and Data at the UK Atomic Weapon Establishment

      This presentation was made at the 2019 NAFEMS World Congress in Quebec Canada Resource Abstract In a Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) era, simulation has widespread use across Physics, Material Science and Engineering at the UK Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE). The engineering analysis team covers a wide scope of simulation topics including FEA/FVA of solid mechanics, structural dynamics, hypersonic CFD, thermal and blast effects. This in turn creates a broad range of data from a variety of engineering software tools. With increasing emphasis on coupled Multiphysics techniques and parameter sensitivity studies, an enormous amount of data is generated and is increasingly more difficult...more

3796. Techniques for modelling joints: A review of Static Design Approaches

      Structures are built-up from components connected by joints. For a structure with a vibration duty there are many uncertainties: - Can static joint design be used for dynamic design? - What is the dynamic stiffness of a joint? - How much damping is provided by a joint? - How do you model the dynamics of joints in simulation codes? - Can joints be designed to assist structural dynamic? - How repeatable and predictable is the behaviour of a joint? - Can joints be simplified to reduce weight and complexity? Research into these issues has received growing attention and some answers are now available. This workshop introduced the problems, the current knowledge, some approaches and some solutions....more

3798. Informing Model End-Users in Industry on the Credibility of Predictions

      Overview Modeling and simulation (M&S) are a well-established part of the engineering design process. M&S are also gaining traction in other product life cycle processes through concepts like certification-by-analysis and digital twins. These advancements and the widespread influence of M&S continue to add relevance to the question of how much to trust computational model predictions. The answer to this question can be extremely challenging to determine and strongly depends on the application. Even if there is Verification, Validation, and Uncertainty Quantification (VVUQ) evidence to build credibility in the model predictions, this information is often difficult to convey to the model end-users...more

3799. Hybrid 3D-1D Models for Particulate Systems

      NAFEMS Americas hosted its biennial regional conference, formerly known as CAASE, on June 21-23, 2022, face-to-face, at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis, Indiana! The NAFEMS Americas Regional Conference 2022 (NRC22 Americas) brought together the leading visionaries, developers, and practitioners of CAE-related technologies in an open forum, unlike any other, sharing experiences, discussing relevant trends, discovering common themes, and exploring future issues, including: What is the future for engineering analysis and simulation? Where will it lead us in the next decade? How can designers and engineers realize its full potential? What are the business, technological,...more

3800. How Do You Know if you are Executing the Right Simulations at the Right Time?

      Analytical modeling and simulations are a part of most companies' product development process these days. Typically, there are a group of highly specialized CAE analysts that perform various physics-based simulations that consume significant budget resources, and time. If done correctly, the simulations are typically conducted early in the development phase in order to determine if a proposed solution will work under the desired boundary conditions. However, this may not be the case if your company is resource limited or directs most of the CAE resources to use simulations to assess post-test failures. Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE) processes have been implemented within the product...more
