Arecibo Observatory Collapse Simulation [8K]

  • This is a structural simulation of the collapse of the Arecibo Observatory in 2020. The simulation implements the three major failure events which ultimately led to the progressive failure causing the platform to fall into the dish.
    The simulation is based in part on actual physical data such as mass and strength for the larger components, and in part on plausible estimations. What appears to be multiple simulations at different points in time is actually one large global simulation. Deviations from reality are to be expected due to the fact that the simulation software runs completely autonomous, only the main initial failure points have been triggered by a predefined script. Nothing is animated by hand.
    Failure history:
    2020-08-10 Tower 4 auxiliary main cable north comes loose from the socket (#301)
    2020-11-06 Tower 4 main quadruple cable south broke, one of four (#101)
    2020-12-01 Tower 4 main cable total failure and collapse
    Some stats for nerds:
    Base 3D model - 1.87 million polygons
    Simulation model - 12,900 elements + 136k constraints
    Simulation time - ~16 h

    This collapse seemed to have hurt a lot of people, Battlefield 4 fans, James Bond fans, Astrologists, and Puerto Ricans.
    Let us have a moment of silence for the most awe inspiring telescope designs in human history.

      I agree and as someone from the states I am sad that this happened and sorry too I'm just glad that far as I know no one got hurt hopefully and I also wanted to say going to aricebo was on my bucket list soon as my most of my debt was paid off but now I probably won't go but maybe I will go just to see Puerto Rico I heard it's beautiful down there.

    Those cables look small in the simulation but they probably weight tons per 10 feet or so...

  • @Tomcatntbird
    @Tomcatntbird 2 роки тому +11

    Congratulations to those ignorant idiots that ignored their maintenance crews and just let the thing fall apart. That central platform should have been able to be lowered to the ground on a supporting structure so the cables could be checked and/or replaced. The fact that there had been cable failure months before the collapse and no action was taken, goes to show the management didn't care.

      The model stems from a scientist working there, but making it a stable physical structure was quite an effort as well. Check the dev reel to get an idea: ua-cam.com/video/OOYhG1-T27A/v-deo.html

It goy hit by hurricane Maria in 2017 and the earthquake the happened in Ponce PR in January 2020 that was felt throughout the island (even where I'm living in Hatillo in the north-western of the island). It was around the time the first cable snapped in August that they started to check the other cables with man-controlled drones several times a day, taking about an hour each trip. It happen that on that day in December the drone was at the cable just before it snapped. The operator happen to quickly follow it as....Well, the world knew the rest of the story there.
