Elastodynamic Analysis of Aerial Refueling Hose Using Curved Beam Element
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The elastodynamic analysis of an aerial refueling hose by classic cable theory suffers the singularity problem when the hose slackens under dynamic loadings. The difficulty is addressed and overcome by modeling the refueling hose with a new three-noded locking-free curved beam element. The large deformations and rotations of curved beams are formulated in terms of an updated Lagrangian framework with consistently coupled quintic polynomial displacement fields to satisfy the membrane locking-free condition. The stability and accuracy of the new element is validated by experiments involving an instrumented free-swinging steel cable. Good agreement is observed between the experimental results and the predictions of the new element. The numerical capability of modeling a refueling hose and drogue system has been demonstrated by simulating 1) the oscillation of hose due to the disturbance from the tanker and the vortex-induced velocity and 2) a receiver coupling with a hose reel malfunction. The analysis results show clearly the formation and propagation of oscillations along the hose, the consequent whipping near the drogue, and the associated variation of hose tension. The results of new element agree well with field observations and existing analysis results.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
