Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

40. FORMWORK DESIGN
Guiding points in the Design of formwork
For design purpose, temporary live load due to labor and
equipment including impact may be taken from 3700N/m2
to 4000N/m2
Dead weight of wet concrete (26000 N/m3)
Planks or boards used to form the vertical facing of the
columns or walls is known as sheathing whereas those
used for floor slabs are called decking
40
April 19, 2020 VISHNU VIJAYAN- BMCE
41. The hydrostatic pressure due to fluidity of concrete in the initial
stages of pouring depends upon several factors such as amount
of water, size of aggregates, rate of pouring etc.,
The hydrostatic pressure is maximum at the time of pouring, but
after some time it starts decreasing, as concrete starts setting and
hardening. This pressure is mainly dependent on the depth of
concrete poured before it starts setting
Deflection of the sheathing and joists should be limited to a
maximum value of 2.5mm
41
April 19, 2020 VISHNU VIJAYAN- BMCE
42. Contd...
The minimum wind design pressure q not less than 15
psf and bracing should be designed for at least
w =46 kg/ft- length applied to the top
The minimum lateral load w, for design of bracing
system would be greater than,
q .(h/2) or 46 kg/ft

For horizontal pressure of concrete is given by:
For walls constructing R less than 2.1m/hr;
p =150+9000(R/T)
For walls constructing R varies from 2.1m/hr to 3m/hr;
p = 150+(43,400/T)+2800(R/T)
For columns 3m/hr;
p = 150+9000(R/T)
Where, R => rate of vertical placement,
T => time for placement.

45. DESIGN OF SLAB FORMWORK:
Design of slab forms can be summarized in the following design steps:
Step 1: Estimate design loads
Step 2: Determine sheathing thickness and spacing of its supports (joist
spacing)
Step 3: Determine joist size and spacing of supports (stringer spacing)
Step 4: Determine stringer size and span (shore spacing)
Step 5: Perform shore design to support stringers
Step 6: Check bearing stresses
Step 7: Design lateral bracing
