BARGE:

This test is a barge modeled as a string of beams. First, traditional longitudinal strength is computed. Next, some modes are extracted and used as generalized co-ordinates. The deflections and forces are compared with those found via longitudinal strength.

• barge commands
• barge data
• barge log
• barge output

BEAM_MOD:

This test is a simple cantilever beam. The natural frequencies and mode shapes are compared against classical answers.

• beam_mod commands
• beam_mod data
• beam_mod log
• beam_mod output

DIFF_MOD:

This test compares the frequency response between a rigid barge and one with generalized degrees of freedom. Here diffraction is used.

• diff_mod commands
• diff_mod data
• diff_mod log
• diff_mod output

FH_BOX:

The two tests RH_BOX and FH_BOX demonstrate two approaches to a problem. FH_BOX considers two boxes as a single body while RH_BOX is a traditional MOSES analysis of two boxed hinged together. Modes of this body are extracted, and used as generalized degrees of freedom. The data is constructed so that the motions of these two tests should be sensibly the same.

• fh_box commands
• fh_box data
• fh_box log
• fh_box output

MORR_MOD:

This test compares the results of a stress analysis and "rigid" MOSES analysis with the results of generalized degrees of freedom.

• morr_mod commands
• morr_mod data
• morr_mod log
• morr_mod output

RH_BOX:

The two tests RH_BOX and FH_BOX demonstrate two approaches to a problem. FH_BOX considers two boxes as a single body while RH_BOX is a traditional MOSES analysis of two boxed hinged together. Modes of this body are extracted, and used as generalized degrees of freedom. The data is constructed so that the motions of these two tests should be sensibly the same.

• rh_box commands
• rh_box data
• rh_box log
• rh_box output

STRP_MOD:

This test compares the frequency response between a rigid barge and one with generalized degrees of freedom. Here strip theory is used.

• strp_mod commands
• strp_mod data
• strp_mod log
• strp_mod output
