The presentation ​

I am in charge of doing the structural analysis of the WAV. I am doing a Coupled Eulerian Lagrangian analysis in Abaqus to understand the dynamic loads imposed to the vehicle by the dynamic interaction between the water and the WAV i.e. a) WAV impact into the water from a 2 mts jump.b) WAV hitting a water wave while going at full speed fwd. The objective of the analysis is to better understand the characteristics of the dynamic forces/stresses imposed by the water in the vehicle to optimize the structural design for durability and safety. Using a CEL simulation allows us to incorporate the dynamic behavior of the water and model the water-watercraft interaction to understand how the loads are being absorbed and transmitted through the watercraft vehicle. This analysis will impact the design of the watercraft, and will highlight areas in which structural reinforcement is needed. Will help identify the required thicknesses for the main hull and mid/top deck layers. Will also serve as a guide to design the metal structure which is taking the main load from the battery, engine and passengers, as well as the design of the attaching/joints fixtures.
