Topic 60: Discuss the Prevention of Slips, Trips and fall in the work place.

Submitted by victor.adukwu on

Slips, trips and fall are the most common cause of injury at work. On average, they cause 40 per cent of all reported major injuries and can also lead to other types of serious accidents, for example falls from height. Slips and trips are also the most reported injury to members of the public.

Topic 59: Discuss the Strategy of Fire Safety and Prevention in Offshore Installations

Submitted by victor.adukwu on

A fire must have three things to ignite and maintain combustion: Fuel, Heat and Oxygen. The basic strategy of fire prevention is to control or isolate sources of fuel and heat in order to prevent combustion. If all three are not present in sufficient quantities a fire will not ignite or a fire will not be able to sustain combustion.

Topic 61: Reactive Hazards

Submitted by SanjayVyas on

Hazard is defined as a chemical or physical condition that has potential to cause harm to human life, property or the environment and a reactive hazard has potential to initiate a reactive incident. It is an outcome of changes to chemical structure leading to rapid release of energy, heat and gaseous products leading to severe consequences e.g. fire, explosion, or toxic release.

A reactive hazard may involve:

gap of von mises stress between Ansys and Abqus

Submitted by TaoLI on

Hello ,

 I am doing the correlation between Ansys and Abaqud for a shroud of cooling module (solid 92-C3D10) .I find the coorelation is perfect in frequency , but when i do the powerspectral density analysis, i noticed a gap of 10-20% on the peak value of nodal von mises stress ,  i'd like to know the reason of the diffrence .

 

 

Thank You .



 

Non-linear analysis of Flat rectangular laminated plates

Submitted by tej kiran.m on

Hi,

I am working on my post grads project, i would be very thankful if anyone does needful in this regard.

I need some suggestions in deriving out the non-linear governing  equation for a simply supported flat rectangular laminated plate , here i considered a uniformly distributed load. 

I have taken Von-Karman strains e(xx), e(yy), e(xy) with non-linear terms for a single term,

to derive the equilibrium equations of motion, is virtual principles of work or displacement necessary?
