Modeling and Simulation of the Dynamic Behavior of TSHD's Suction Pipe System by Using ADAMS

摘要

In this paper, a mathematical model and a simulation model of trailing suction hopper dredger's suction pipe system is built by the software ADAMS (Automated Dynamic Analysis of Mechanical Systems), and the suction pipe system's dynamic behavior is simulated. The simulations show that the ADAMS model can be used to simulate the dredger working in natural conditions of wind, current, wave, seabed profile and different soil hardness.
