  • Based on the change of traditional viscoelastic damper structure, a brand-new damper is designed to control simultaneously the translational vibration and the rotational vibration for platforms. Experimental study has been carried out on the mechanical properties of viscoelastic material and on its multi-dimensional seismic response control effect of viscoelastic damper. Three types of viscoelastic dampers with different shapes of viscoelastic material are designed to test the influence of excited frequency, strain amplitude and ambient temperature on the mechanical property parameters such as circular dissipation per unit, equivalent stiffness, loss factor and storage shear modulus. Then, shaking table tests are done on a group of single-storey platform systems containing one symmetric platform and three asymmetric platforms with different eccentric forms. Experimental results show that the simulation precision of the restoring force model is rather good for the shear deformation of viscoelastic damper and is also satisfied for the torsion deformation and combined deformations of viscoelastic damper. The shaking table tests have verified that the new-type viscoelastic damper is capable of mitigating the multi-dimensional seismic response of offshore platform.

  • The recent amount of container freight continuously has been increased, but the low efficiency of container crane causes jamming frequently in transportation and cargo handling at port. It is required that the working velocity and safety are improved by control of moving the trolley as quick as possible without large overshoot and any residual swing motion of container at the destination. In this paper, a LQ controller for a container crane is proposed to accomplish an optimal design of improved control system for minimizing the swing motion at destination. In this scheme a mathematical model for the system is obtained in state space form. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed controller is verified through computer simulation.

  • Logistics in a supply chain network has become an important operational strategy in a competitive market. A number of internal and external risks involved in the logistics operations in a company tend to create problems in fulfilling customer orders. This research presents how ERM (enterprise risk management) can be used to identify, assess, and control logistics risks. An electronic company's logistics activities were used as an industry case to demonstrate a way to identify and assess risks surrounding global logistics function. This paper has further presented action plans to mitigate the impact of the risks that occur.

  • In the Internet, to guarantee transmission rate and delay and to achieve fair bandwidth allocation, many per-flow scheduling algorithms, such as fair queueing, which have many desirable properties for congestion control, have been proposed and designed. However, algorithms based on per-flow need maintain rate state, buffer management and packet scheduling, so that it cost great deal : implement. Therefore, in this paper, to implement routers cost-effectively, we propose CS-FNE algorithm based on FNE in Core-Stateless network We evaluate CS-FNE comparing with four additional algorithms i.e., CSFQ, FRED, RED and DRR, in several different, configurations and traffic sources. Through simulation results, we show that CS-FNE algorithm can allocate fair bandwidth approximately and is simpler and easier to implement than other per-flow basis queueing mechanisms.

  • As a shipboard dependency for the safety and reliability becomes very important, the need for solid systems providing non-stop workload has been increased. This system is heartbeat that transmits shipboard state, audit and control information to the land. So, this paper describes a ship's LAN configuration method for the safety and reliability. In order to achieve these requirements, network, server and disk fault tolerance techniques are surveyed, and dual network configuration model, cluster server configuration method are presented and tested based on the survey.

  • On 7 December 2007, the Hebei Spirit, a 260,000 dwt VLCC, anchored near Korea's Daesan Port, was collided with a passing crane-carrying barge Samsung1, which was under tow of two tugs Samsung T5 and Samho T3. In this study, the behaviour of Hebei Spirit at the time of the accident has been reproduced and analyzed by simulation. This study precedes the study for the investigation of any available countermeasures for Hebei Spirit to prevent the accident. The simulation has been done only for Hebei Spiri and the motion of Samsung barge is just given with recorded AIS data. Dynamic characteristics of Hebei Spirit have been modeled based on empirical data and her sea trial data. Effects of current, wave and wind are also estimateed using empirical formula. Considering uncertainty of environmental condition and control of Hebei Spirit, simulation has been done by varying engine control method and holding power coefficients of the anchor. Finally, based on simulations, the most plausible scenario on the state of anchor and engine control could cause real accidents.

  • In this paper, applications of multilayer neural networks to control of flexible robot beam are considered. The multilayer nerual networks can be used to approximate any continuous function to a desired degree of accuracy and the weights are updated by Gradient Method. When a flexible beam is rotated by a motor through the fixed end, transverse vibration may occur. The motor torque should be controlled insuch a way that the motor rotates by a specified angle, while simultaneously stabilizing vibration of the flexible manipulators so that is arrested as soon as possbile at the end of rotation. Accurate control of lightweight beam during the large changes in configuration common to robotic tasks requires dynamic models that describe both rigid body motions, as well as the flexural vibrations. Therefore, a linear dynamic state-space model of for a single link flexible robot beam is derived and PD controller, LQP controller, and inverse dynamical neural networks controller are composed. The effectiveness the proposed control system is confirmed by computer simulation.
