2. OIL & GAS
2.1 Standards x CAE
The design rules of an offshore structures are based on analytical methods, but the
FEA´s applications are growing up. Bureaus like DNV, API, BS, ASME have been introduced
FEA in their standards improving accuracy of a calculation and solving multi physics
problems as well.
2.2 Industrial Valve - Brazilian Standard NBR 15827

2.5 Calculation of Flange
A flange was calculated following ASME VIII Division 2, verifying a local and a global
plastic strain and a ratcheting effect. The linearized stress transformation is used to make a
classification of the stress according to primary or secondary stress.
Figure 7 - Calculation of a Flange According ASME VIII D2
2.6 Intensification Stress Factor - Calculation of Joint Flexibility
This study calculated the intensification stress factors of not usual diameters of pipeline
connections. These parameters are included on flexibility studies. Different loading
conditions in-plane and out-of-plane indicated on standards are applied to calculate the
factors under internal pressure.

2.7 High Pressure Hose
High pressure hoses are components of umbilical cable manufactured for offshore
industry. The hoses are composed of textile reinforcement layers (Kevlar®), nylon,
polyurethane and steel carcass.
This work proposed different models for representing the layers, the contact between
them and calculates the pressure and fatigue strength of this assembly. At the end of hoses
are plugged steel connections by crimp or swaging process which can produce some
damage in a textile layer. This work introduces different models of failure in Kevlar®.

2.8 Modules of FPSO
A design of topsides structures assembled on the deck of the FPSO (Floating,
Production, Storage and Offloading) Platform to withstand the equipment for processing an
extracted oil is indicated by the DNV (Det Norske Veritas) and API (American Petroleum
Institute) offshore standards for structures. A typical FPSO contains around 18 modules,
each one composed by structure and equipment, as heavy as 3,000 tons, measuring about
20 m each side. Hundreds of different loads and load combinations - especially given by the
environmental data - material properties and boundary conditions are key inputs for analysis
of any structure.
The structure should be in accordance with various design criteria: installation and in-
place conditions. The installation conditions are composed by three different analyses:
hydrotest, design transit condition and lifting. The in-place analysis: static, design operation
condition (DOC) and extreme condition (DEC), damage (DAC), blast, fatigue and the
assessment of the flare tower. The structural analysis were executed on CAE software
package developed by DNV (Genie/Sestra).
12
The design of these structures requires a number of revisions due to the constant
equipment changes and information updates from other disciplines that contribute to the
construction of the platform.
This work reported the structural calculation of FPSO´s Modules covering oil
processing modules, gas compression modules, power generation modules etc., piperack,
and laydown areas. It was executed all calculations on primary, secondary and tertiary
structures, fatigue life and blast.
Figure 11 - Module of FPSO
This work was developed in an association with the Oceânica Engineering Consultancy
and Projects Ltda and the Brazil Shipyard (EBR/ Toyo-Setal Group).
2.9 Analysis of Joints on Modules and Pipe Rack - FPSO
This work developed an evaluation of a fatigue life of offshore structures (modules,
pipe rack) joints. Stress intensification factors were calculated according to DNV-RP-C203
standard, using local model built in shell finite element. This work was developed for the P66
and P74 platforms of Petrobras.

2.10 Weight Optimization of Metallic Structures
The FPSO (Floating, Production, Storage and Offloading) platforms are improving and
increasing processes and oil & gas extraction capacity. As a result, the overweight is
becoming a problem to the stability and the storage capacity of ships. This study did a
multidisciplinary approach about weight optimization.
The main target is to reduce the weight of the structure of the modules that withstand the
processing equipment. These structures, easily weigh one thousand tons.
Figure 13 - Module of FPSO
This work proposed three approaches: material exchange of metal for plastic, usage of
recent DNV´s Recommended Practice Based on Non Linear Methods (DNV RP-208) and
optimization of mass by using specific software.
Plastic Polymers - Plastic material has advantages: high stiffness-weight ratio, recyclable,
low corrosion and wide range of mechanical properties modifiers (glass fiber,mineral). There
are drawbacks: variations of mechanical properties regarding temperature, high creep, and
processing variables - fiber orientation, welding lines, warping and voids. This project uses
composite honeycomb sandwich panels for the floor and a high performance polyamide
resin for the structure. The Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was performed to compare the
results between steel and the equivalent of the stiffness of the plastic structures.
DNV RP-208 – The nonlinear criterion defines a plastic strain limit for the structure. This limit
permits an increase in the loads. FEA was carried through comparing the linear - Allowable
Stress Design (ASD) - and the nonlinear criteria.
Optimization – Applying optimization software based on parametric and topology techniques
may be determining lightweight structures according to the design criteria.
A pilot project in reference to the structure of a compressor skid was executed to apply
the methodology. The results show that all approaches have a potential to reduce material
weight.
The exchange of plastic material shows a competitive cost/weight ratio with an equivalent
14
performance compared with steel.
Figure 14 - Skid Displacements
The application of nonlinear criteria is ready to be put into practice. The nonlinear criterion
becomes possible for the skid´s structure to withstand loads four times more than the linear
criterion.
Optimization using parametric techniques permits the final structure to be at least 20%
lighter than the original structure. Topologic studies can even improve the results.
This work was developed in an association with the Oceânica Engineering Consultancy
and Projects Ltda.
3. MINING
3.1. Crushing Tower
A crushing tower portable is a new concept to improve an equipment mobility in Carajas
Iron Mine.
The tower withstand three vibrating equipment: a vibrating screen, a hydraulic breaker
and a crusher. This structure was calculated on basis of static and dynamic loading. The
simulations were executed on the following situations: starting / stopping run and steady-
state conditions.

3.2. Iron Mineral Hopper
This equipment transports the mineral from the vibrating screen to the conveyors belt.
Eventually, stones were thrown (> 4 ton) against the hopper. This work carried through the
calculation to sizing the beams, plates, anchoring screws and proposes new reinforcements
for the structure to withstand an impact of the stones.

3.3 Structural Bases of Conveyors Power Drive System
This work covered FEA of 06 structural bases of conveyors power drive system (5000
HP/engine) for a improvement of a Plant of Mining for Carajas Iron Mine.
CAD and FEA were executed according to the design conditions indicated on
standards. Are shown the stress, strains of the structures and anchoring screws.

3.4 Rail Road Track - Ties
This project proposed a development of ties to railroads tracks according to the
American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association (AREMA) standard.
The first part were carried out optimization analysis following the cross sections. Comparison
between the optimal sections and commercial sections were performed. The second part is
foreseen the execution of simulations "in situ", modeling the realistic loads and soil/ballast.
