Abstract
The Structural Analysis (Rakenneanalyysi, Ra) Research
Programme
(1989 1991) of the Technical Research Centre of Finland
(VTT)
aimed at developing advanced methods and programs for
practical
engineering work. The research programme concentrated on
numerical
methods for structural analysis and it developed a basis
for the quality
system of structural analysis. The several applications
dealt with
various practical engineering problems ranging from the
analysis of
defected or cracked components under fatigue or high
temperature
loading to vibration analysis of large structures.
The programme was divided into three projects the first
of which
focused on developing analysis systems and methods for
quality
assurance and result accuracy assessment. The second and
third
projects focused on structural integrity and dynamical
analyses
respectively. The research work was performed mainly by
the
research groups of the several laboratories of VTT and
partly by
industry and consults. The research programme was
financed by VTT
together with several industrial and other partners.
This publication documents the papers presented at the
'RAKENNEANALYYSI 1992' -seminar on 17. and 18.3.1992 at
Hanasaari Espoo. The seminar presented the main results
of the
research programme. The seminar papers were divided into
three
main topics which were 'Structural Integrity', 'Quality
and Result
Accuracy' and 'Structural Dynamics'. Part of the research
work was
presented and demonstrated in a poster session. Special
theme for the
seminar was quality and result accuracy and two invited
speakers
presented papers on this topic. Prof. Alf Samuelsson from
Chalmers
University of Technology, Sweden gave a presentation on
'FE-analysis accuracy and adaptive methods'. Dipl. ing.
Jan Cristian
Anker from the Anker-Zemer Eng. A/S, Norway spoke on
'Error
estimation and adaptive meshing' and demonstrated the
ANSYS finite
element program. These papers are not included in this
publication.
