In this paper the LNG vessel of the Moss type which is capable of lifting 15,261 tons is investigated in the view point of the pressure vessel preliminary design using the finite element method. The Pressure vessel design is based on the equivalent stress levels due to the internal pressure. The finite element model of the spherical pressure vessel is configured using 4 noded quadrilateral shell element. The finite element analysis program NASTRAN and ANSYS 5.5are implemented. The design is compared with the three kinds of the boundary condition : first, where the equator of the pressure vessel is fixed, and where the top and is fixed, and, the bottom end is fixed, respectively. A comparison is presented between the results obtained by the finite element model and by the prototype production model. Additionally just below position(case 1 & case 2) of equator ring was carried out by using ANSYS 5.5. The results show that the vessel design based on the stress is acceptable at the preliminary design.

In this paper, the solid modeller suitable for PC was developed for Top-down 3-D representation and analysis of fixed offshore structures. Also solid modelling and hidden line removal were conducted in order to visualize the offshore structures based on the scan line z-buffer algorithm.

It is explicitly shown that a supersymmetry structure exists in the spectrum of a rigid symmetric top rotor in the molecule-fixed frame. Using projection operators constructed from the time-reversal symmetry of the rotor, the full rotor Hamiltonian is separated into two parts, i.e., the bosonic and fermionic components. The construction, without ambiguity, suggests that the rotor has a supersymmetry in it. This supersymmetry is mathematically equivalent to that of the free rotor on a plane recently noted by Rau.

In order to study the shearing characteristic of anti-vibration sheet metal which is used to reduce vibration noise, a blanking die was manufactured to blank a workpiece. The variables employed in this study were clearance, type of stripper plate, position of the rubber layer and type of the die design. These variables were used to study the effects on burr height, blank diameter and camber height. In the case of burr height from experimental investigation, the push-back die, combined with a movable stripper plate, showed greater burr height. The rubber-top position of a workpiece resulted in better qualities regardless of working variables. In the comparison of diameter measurement, the use of the push-back die with a fixed stripper plate, with a 4.5% clearance, showed better accuracy. For comparing camber height, the push-back die resulted in less cambering than the drop-through die. Also, the larger the clearance, the greater was the camber height. Considering experimental results, the shearing of anti-vibrational sheet metal is best achieved when the rubber layer is laying on the top, blanked with a fixed stripper plate in a push-back die, with a 4.5％ clearance.

In this research, we study a modified relaxed Tseng method with a single projection approach for solving common solution to a fixed point problem involving finite family of τ-demimetric operators and a quasi-monotone variational inequalities in real Hilbert spaces with alternating inertial extrapolation steps and adaptive non-monotonic step sizes. Under some appropriate conditions that are imposed on the parameters, the weak and linear convergence results of the proposed iterative scheme are established. Furthermore, we present some numerical examples and application of our proposed methods in comparison with other existing iterative methods. In order to show the practical applicability of our method to real word problems, we show that our algorithm has better restoration efficiency than many well known methods in image restoration problem. Our proposed iterative method generalizes and extends many existing methods in the literature.

In order to prevent bodily injuries frequently suffered in using bush cutters, especially from spattered stones, we developed a unique new cutting system equipped with a fixed blade on top of the rotary blade, and checked into the mowing performance of the cutter. From experimental test of mowing efficiency and measuring test of physical stress (O$_2$ consumption and heartbeat rates) , the new cutting system with a fixed blade proved that it keeps good cutting performance with lower peripheral speed of the rotary blade(22m/sec), compared to that of ordinary cutting blade, yielding more safety in operation. Weight of the cutter head is, however, heavier than that of ordinary machine by about 70% which increased a physical stress on the operator with slightly faster heartbeat rates. In mowing along edge of concrete wall, the operator enjoyed using the cutter with no anxiety , owing to function of the fixed blade.

A thermally asymmetric straight rectangular fin is analysed and optimized using the two-dimensional separation of variables method. The optimum heat loss is presented as a function of bottom to top Biot number ratio, fin base length and top Biot number. Decreasing rate of the optimum fin length with the increase of the fin base length is listed. The optimum fin tip length is shown as a function of bottom to top Biot number ratio, fin base length and tip to top Biot number ratio. One of the results shows that the optimum heat loss and the actual optimum fin length decrease while the optimum fin tip length increases as the fin base length increases.

We studied the influence of GaAs top-layer thickness on the small-signal modulation response and 56 Gb/s four-level pulse-amplitude modulation eye quality of 850 nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). We considered the proportionality of the gain-saturation coefficient to the photon lifetime. The simulation results that employed the transfer-matrix method and laser rate equations led to the conclusion that the proportionality should be considered for proper explanation of the experimental results. From the obtained optical eyes, we could determine an optimum thickness of the GaAs top layer that rendered the best eye quality of VCSEL. We also compared two results: one result with a fixed gain-saturation coefficient and the other that considered the proportionality. The former result with the constant gain-saturation coefficient demonstrated a better eye quality and a wider optimum range of the GaAs top-layer thickness because the resultant higher damping reduced the relaxation oscillation.

The team orienteering problem (TOP) or the multiple tour maximum collection problem can be considered as a generic model that can be applied to a number of challenging applications in logistics, tourism, and other fields. This problem is generally defined as the problem of determining P paths, in which the traveling time of each path is limited by $T_{max}$ that maximizes the total collected score. In the TOP, a set of N vertices i is given, each with a score $S_i$. The starting point (vertex 1) and the end point (vertex N) of all paths are fixed. The time $t_{ij}$ needed to travel from vertex i to j is known for all vertices. Some exact and heuristics approaches had been proposed in the past for solving the TOP. This paper proposes a new solution methodology for solving the TOP using the particle swarm optimization, especially by proposing a solution representation and its decoding method. The performance of the proposed algorithm is then evaluated using several benchmark datasets for the TOP. The computational results show that the proposed algorithm using specific settings is capable of finding good solution for the corresponding TOP instance.
