FEM simulation of Eddystone lighthouse is provided. Incorporated bionic tower is modelled as well. Load cases including gravity force, wind thrust, water stream and 50-year wave impulse are accomplished. Stress concentrator system is described. Effect of tension stress concentrator compensation caused by gravity is showed. Low gradient stress dispensation is demonstrated for bionic tower outer surfaces. Recommendation touching places to monitor are given.Methodic experience related to interactive one-command student – professor FEM simulation of responsible load-bearing systems is collected.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
