COMPLAS 2021 is the 16th conference of the COMPLAS Series.
The COMPLAS conferences started in 1987 and since then have become established events in the field of computational plasticity and related topics. The first fifteen conferences in the COMPLAS series were all held in the city of Barcelona (Spain) and were very successful from the scientific, engineering and social points of view. We intend to make the 16th edition of the conferenceanother successful edition of the COMPLAS meetings.
The objectives of COMPLAS 2021 are to address both the theoretical bases for the solution of nonlinear solid mechanics problems, involving plasticity and other material nonlinearities, and the numerical algorithms necessary for efficient and robust computer implementation. COMPLAS 2021 aims to act as a forum for practitioners in the nonlinear structural mechanics field to discuss recent advances and identify future research directions.
Scope
COMPLAS 2021 is the 16th conference of the COMPLAS Series.
The "System for Predicting the Operation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles on Naval Platforms" (SPOVENT) project aims to determine the studies and developments necessary to obtain and characterise the data required to predict ship movements in waves in real time and, therefore, to be able to predict the optimum windows for recovering/landing UAVs. The project was developed in two phases: the objective of the first one was the identification of the available technology applicable to the prediction of the 3D vessel motions during its operation plus the determination of maximum vessel motion limits in order to carry out the capture of UAVs in safe conditions; then came the development of two algorithms to predict the movements of the vessel depending on the waves that it will encounter during its navigation. After the completion of these initial phases, the validation and evaluation of the algorithms developed is carried out, followed by the development of the SPOVENT demonstrator, implementing the algorithm with best results. To determine the algorithm which best predicts the time windows in which the UAV will be able to operate, the following evaluation and validation criteria are established: accuracy of the prediction of the operation windows, range of application, input data required for its correct operation, possibility of adaptation to different types of vessels and required calculation time. Once the algorithm to be implemented in the demonstrator has been selected, a computer application is developed that shows the user the time windows to perform these operations with adequate safety. The design of the application ensures that user intervention is minimal, considering the operating conditions on a ship, including easy-to-read indicators and easily accessible buttons. Additionally, the demonstrator will be a tool to evaluate the operational criteria (STANAG) of different missions during navigation, by means of the ship's movement variables registered by an IMU sensor
