Assessing Earthquake Risk in Masonry Structure (PDF)
Arsenal Research is engaged with research questions in the areas of mobility and energy. Its portfolio includes state-of-the-art methods of applied research and development, ranging from computer simulation and artificial intelligence to high-quality measurement and test engineering. The Unit Transport Routes Engineering group provides testing of road surfaces, structural dynamic issues, acoustics and telematics. Arsenal’s main objective is to increase the innovative ability of its partners. Earthquake assessment of masonry structures is a challenging task because of the complexity of the material. Masonry is a composite material with a complex failure surface. Realistic earthquake assessment is important in the case of existing lifeline structures. Ensuring structural safety with minimal rehabilitation costs must be achieved.
Mesh Generation for Gas Turbine Elements (PDF)
Enegromash Group Enterprises is one of the largest manufacturers of power equipment in Russia. In addition to developing and manufacturing equipment for various types of power stations and pumps, Energomash Group Enterprises is engaged in operating their own gas turbine plant and developing electric and thermal energy. The challenge for Energomash involved mesh generation. They needed to construct qualitative mesh structures that could be adapted for specificity of investigated process and integrate with a CAD system. Using ANSYS ICEM CFD allowed Energomash to raise the quality of elements, reduce developed model dimensions and improve convergence of the solutions. They also reduced time required for mesh structure construction for typical problems.
