The post accident investigation traced the error to inaccurate finite element approximation of the linear elastic model of the tri cell. Due to wrong choice of element type, the shear stresses were underestimated by 47%, leading to insufficient design. In particular, certain concrete walls were not thick enough. More careful finite element analysis, made after the accident, predicted that failure would occur with this design at a depth of 62m, which matches well with the actual occurrence at 65m.

Some Basics of the Engineering Strength of Material Engineering Stress & Strain Engineering Stress is defined as applied load P divided by orginal cross sectional area A0 to which load is applied. Stress = Load/Area P/ A0
Engineering Strain is defined as the change in length at some instant, as reference to the original length. Strain = l/l Hookes Law =E

Actually what is A- frame? A- Frame is commonly used in marine operations in Vessels and offshore ports for lifting heavy loads. So its construction is very typical for the safety of huge vessels and for the work force working on the ports .

Study_1 Stress
Now the above results of analysis shows the maximum stress on AFrame due to load 25 ton which is 158872576 N/m2 Given Yield Strength is 355000000 N/m2
Now Factor of safety can be calculated as Yield Strength/Stressmax = 355000000/158872576 N/m2 Therefore F.O.S = 2.234 which says our model is Perfect.
