Abstract: Coupled vibration of water and stop log gate in the layered water intake structure will occur under the condition of the sudden load changes. A fluid-structure interaction (FSI) finite element model of the layered water intake structure of a hydropower station was established by using the finite element software ADINA to simulate the process of power on and off and the FSI phenomena of stop log gate during each process, and also verify the security of the scheme. The results show that fluid-structure interaction has a significant impact on the running of the layered water intake.

Abstract: The paper presents the waves propagation (disturbances) in the simple elastic structures aided by ADINA program. Modeling of the waves was performed in a rod and the elastic layer. The elastic structures being analyzed have been made of isotropic compressible and incompressible materials which represent hyperelastic materials, i.e. with a strictly defined elastic potential description. Conclusions are presented in the summary at the end of the study.

Abstract: Adina is a software that supports analysis of both pre-defined models and analysis of the models defined independently. The paper presents a comparative analysis of the distribution of effective stress in simple elastic structures made of incompressible hyperelastic Mooney - Rivlin and Zahorski materials. To carry out numerical calculations for the Zahorski material it was necessary to make modifications of 2D and 3D libraries in the ADINA software which has been completed in the authorial process. Conclusions are presented in the conclusions at the end of the study.

Abstract: By using the finite element software ADINA, the focus of the paper is about the influence of load conditions on the axial compression performance of steel tubular columns filled with steel-reinforced concrete (STSRC) with the base that the calculated results are confirmed by the experimental data. Three types of loading conditions are these that: 1. Steel pipe, steel placed in the steel tube and concrete bear the compressive load; 2. Compressive load acts on the steel and concrete and there is a good bonding between the steel and concrete; 3.The steel and concrete bear the axial load, but the bond-slip between the steel tube and concrete are considered. The results show that the calculated results based on ADINA and the experimental ones are in agreement well, the bearing capacity and the ductility of the short composite columns are not almost influenced by the load condition-one and load condition-two, while the load condition-three has a influence on the axial compression performance of STSRC.

Abstract: In order to exert the force performance of steel tubular columns filled with steel-reinforced concrete, the focus of the paper is about the influence of load condition on flexural mechanical properties and the shear mechanical properties of the composite columns. The two types of loading conditions are: 1.Steel pipe, steel placed in the steel tube and concrete subject to compressive load simultaneously; 2.Compressive load acts on steel and concrete. The results show that the calculated results based on ADINA and the experimental ones are in agreement well. The calculated results also show that the load condition has no influence on flexural mechanical properties, but has a great influence on shear mechanical properties of the composite columns.

Abstract: In this paper, a two-dimensional axisymmetric thermal stress coupling model of mechanical seal’s rotator and stator components was established by ADINA, simplification and appropriate boundary constrained condition of stator and rotator was obtained by analyzing the contact state among the seal rings. It’s shown that the contact surface is equivalent to a resource of constant thermal, temperature of contact surface rises step by step and the location of the maximum temperature getting close to the midpoint within the contact surface according to the sliding time, the temperature gradient decrease along the worksheet so that the temperature decrease accordingly in a parabolic isogram.

Abstract: The interaction between pile and soil can not be ignored in the seismic analysis of long-span bridges. Earthquake action in the form of lateral load apply on the pile through the soil, the analysis of pile under lateral load is very important in aseismatic analysis of bridge. Analysis of the horizontal load pile-soil interaction by using finite element analysis software ADINA, establishing the three-dimensional contact model of pile-soil interaction and the analysis model by using p-y curve model of soil-pile interaction respectively. Comparing the displacement of the top of pile with the actual measurements to verify the numerical method is right. It shows that the feasibility of using ADINA for pile-soil interaction analysis.

Abstract: In order to analyze the vibration performance of partially-filled liquid tank of ships, this paper takes the integration of measures including numerical simulation with finite element method and experimental verification with LMS vibration test and model analysis system of steel liquid tank under different liquid level conditions to study the fluid-structure interaction phenomenon. With the software of ADINA, the FEM model of the tank is developed and the model analysis which indicates the vibration modes and natural frequencies is completed. The simulation is compared with the experimental results which shows the natural frequency of the structure decreases with the level increases.

Abstract: In order to research the problem of Aeolian vibration occurred on single conductor in this paper, ADINA program was applied to set up the model of fluid domain and structure domain. Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis was taken based on the coupling models, from which the property result of Aeolian vibration numerical simulation was acquired. Meanwhile the method taken to analyze the question of conductors Aeolian vibration was testified to be correct in the paper.

Abstract: The cable support system in large cross-section cable tunnel, which can solve the cable laying problem of big cross section cable and multi-loop cable effectively, gradually become the development trend of urban electricity transmission. Combined with the structure feature of large cross section shield tunnel, a new type of self-balanced shield tunnel cable support system is proposed. The safety and rationality of this system has been validated by the structure calculation, the finite element analysis of ADINA and the full scale model test. The analysis shows that the system has some advantages, such as excellent whole mechanical characteristics, strong adaptability, convenient construction and low cost. The system can fully satisfy all requirements of the cable tunnel construction and all functions of operation. The stress distribution of the structure is relatively homogeneous, the bearing capacity of components and the global stability of it also meet the requirements. With the test load which is about 1.5 ~ 4.0 times as large as design load, the support system displacement is 0.65 ~ 2.5 mm, which shows that the structure is safe and reliable. The research achievements can provide theoretical basis and experimental basis for the design of large cross-section cable tunnel.
