A typical gantry crane is generally used to lift and transport objects in various workplaces. Most of the supporting structures in a gantry crane are fixed on the ground while the moving hoist is running overhead along the girder. There are some disadvantages to its long installation time and high installation cost. Therefore, a hydraulic based gantry crane was studied to solve the issues of typical gantry cranes. The supporting structure of the proposed gantry crane consisted of a hydraulic cylinder and telescopic boom. The dimension of the proposed gantry crane can be decreased due to its simplified structure. The analytical and theoretical methods were used to verify the structural stability of the proposed crane. The most severe load condition was considered for the analysis, and the stress and deflection of the structure are analyzed. The simulation results were as expected from the theoretical analysis. Finally, the structural and dynamic safety of the proposed hydraulic based gantry crane was validated. The obtained results can be used as guidelines in the design process of the hydraulic based gantry crane.

Recently, as environmental regulations for earth-moving equipment have been tightening, advanced systems such as electronic control, have been introduced for energy savings. An IMV (Independent Metering Valve) consisting of four 2-way valves, is an electro-hydraulic control systems that provides more flexible controllability, and potential for energy savings in excavators, when compared to the conventional 4-way spool valve system. To fully maximize use of an IMV, the bi-directional flow control valve that can regulate a large amount of flow in both directions, should be adopted. The hydraulic circuit of an IMV applied to an excavator from an overseas construction equipment company, reveals the flow control valve with the compound of proportional solenoid valve for first stage, and 2-way spool valve for the second stage. Moreover, the two spools are interconnected by a feedback spring, presumed to compensate for flow force acting on the second stage spool. This paper addresses the static analysis of flow control valve in an IMV to investigate the improvement of robustness, against flow force by the feedback spring. From the steady-state analysis of flow control valve model, it can be concluded that the feedback spring facilitates maintaining linearity of spool displacement for control input, and relatively constant flow for load disturbance.

Offshore drilling has become a key process for obtaining oil. Offshore platforms have many applications, including oil exploration and production, navigation, ship loading and unloading, and bridge and causeway support. However, vibration problems caused by severe environmental loads, such as ice, wave, wind, and seismic loads, threaten the functionality of platform facilities and the comfort of workers. These concerns may result in piping failures, unsatisfactory equipment reliability, and safety concerns. Therefore, the vibration control of offshore platforms is essential for assuring structural safety, equipment functionality, and human comfort. In this study, an optimal multiple tuned mass damper (MTMD) system was proposed to mitigate the excessive vibration of a three-dimensional offshore platform under ice and earthquake loadings. The MTMD system was designed to control the first few dominant coupled modes. The optimal placement and system parameters of the MTMD are determined based on controlled modal properties. Numerical simulation results show that the proposed MTMD system can effectively reduce the displacement and acceleration responses of the offshore platform, thus improving safety and serviceability. Moreover, this study proposes an optimal design procedure for the MTMD system to determine the optimal location, moving direction, and system parameters of each unit of the tuned mass damper.

Current paper deals with thermoelastic static and free vibrational behaviors of axisymmetric thick cylinders reinforced with functionally graded (FG) randomly oriented graphene subjected to internal pressure and thermal gradient loads. The heat transfer and mechanical analyses of randomly oriented graphene-reinforced nanocomposite (GRNC) cylinders are facilitated by developing a weak form mesh-free method based on moving least squares (MLS) shape functions. Furthermore, in order to estimate the material properties of GRNC with temperature dependent components, a modified Halpin-Tsai model incorporated with two efficiency parameters is utilized. It is assumed that the distributions of graphene nano-sheets are uniform and FG along the radial direction of nanocomposite cylinders. By comparing with the exact result, the accuracy of the developed method is verified. Also, the convergence of the method is successfully confirmed. Then we investigated the effects of graphene distribution and volume fraction as well as thermo-mechanical boundary conditions on the temperature distribution, static response and natural frequency of the considered FG-GRNC thick cylinders. The results disclosed that graphene distribution has significant effects on the temperature and hoop stress distributions of FG-GRNC cylinders. However, the volume fraction of graphene has stronger effect on the natural frequencies of the considered thick cylinders than its distribution.

In the case of gas carriers and oil tankers, pipes are installed on the upper deck as a moving passage to load LPG, LNG, crude oil, etc. Pipes used for loading or unloading liquid cargo in cargo holds are connected to the hull through support structures. However, many cases of hull damage have been reported where the various equipment and support structures are installed on the upper deck. It is assumed that not only the structural discontinuity where the hull and the pipe support structure meet, but also action due to the pipe loads and the hull girder bending moment are simultaneously affected. This paper deals with the design and strength evaluation of the support structure of pipes and cables installed on the upper deck of commercial ships and offshore structures. For these supporting structures, design conditions and working loads were defined. The design procedure was established through the structure analysis on the method of determining the member dimensions. A series of finite element analysis was performed on the factors to be considered in the design and the effects were discussed. The accuracy and design periods of the strength evaluation was improved and reduced by application of the automation program in the finite element analysis. It is also expected that the design reliability of the shipyard is improved.

Recently, the use of aircraft structures using Ti alloy (Ti-6Al-4V), a lightweight high-strength alloy material, is rapidly increasing due to the weight reduction of aircraft. However, high-strength materials such as Ti alloys require high energy for cutting and are classified as difficult-to-cut materials. Also, research on Laser Assisted Machining (hereinafter referred to as LAM), a cutting processing technology that utilizes improved machinability, is being actively researched. Therefore, in this paper, in order to confirm the proper temperature distribution using a laser, the finite element method is used to determine the temperature distribution according to the calorific value condition to derive the appropriate condition, and the thermal load generated at this time is used as a structural analysis. It is intended to be used as basic data for LAM processing conditions by measuring the amount of residual stress and thermal deformation caused by heat.

This research presents a multi-material topology optimization for functionally graded material (FGM) and nonFGM with elastic buckling criteria. The elastic buckling based multi-material topology optimization of functionally graded steels (FGSs) uses a Jacobi scheme and a Method of Moving Asymptotes (MMA) as an expansion to revise the design variables shown first. Moreover, mathematical expressions for modified interpolation materials in the buckling framework are also described in detail. A Solid Isotropic Material with Penalization (SIMP) as well as a modified penalizing material model is utilized. Based on this investigation on the buckling constraint with homogenization material properties, this method for determining optimal shape is presented under buckling constraint parameters with non-homogenization material properties. For optimal problems, minimizing structural compliance like as an objective function is related to a given material volume and a buckling load factor. In this study, conflicts between structural stiffness and stability which cause an unfavorable effect on the performance of existing optimization procedures are reduced. A few structural design features illustrate the effectiveness and adjustability of an approach and provide some ideas for further expansions.

Tilt is a key indicator of structural safety. Real-time monitoring of tilt responses helps to evaluate structural condition, enable cost-effective maintenance, and enhance lifetime resilience. This paper presents a prototype wireless sensing system for structural tilt measurement. Long range (LoRa) technology is adopted by the sensing system to offer long-range wireless communication with low power consumption. The sensor integrates a gyroscope and an accelerometer as the sensing module. Although tilt can be estimated from the gyroscope or the accelerometer measurements, these estimates suffer from either drift issue or high noise. To address this challenging issue and obtain more reliable tilt results, two sensor fusion algorithms, the complementary filter and the Kalman filter, are investigated to fully exploit the advantages of both gyroscope and accelerometer measurements. Numerical simulation is carried out to validate and compare the sensor fusion algorithms. Laboratory experiment is conducted on a simply supported beam under moving vehicle load to further investigate the performance of the proposed wireless tilt sensing system.

Eavesdropping attacks have seriously threatened network security. Attackers could eavesdrop on target nodes and link to steal confidential data. In the traditional network architecture, the static routing path and the important nodes determined by the nature of network topology provide a great convenience for eavesdropping attacks. To resist monitoring attacks, this paper proposes a random routing mutation defense method based on dynamic path weight (DPW-RRM). It utilizes network centrality indicators to determine important nodes in the network topology and reduces the probability of important nodes in path selection, thereby distributing traffic to multiple communication paths, achieving the purpose of increasing the difficulty and cost of eavesdropping attacks. In addition, it dynamically adjusts the weight of the routing path through network state constraints to avoid link congestion and improve the availability of routing mutation. Experimental data shows that DPW-RRM could not only guarantee the normal algorithmic overhead, communication delay, and CPU load of the network, but also effectively resist eavesdropping attacks.

네트워크 내의 이동 노드 (Mobile Node: MN)들의 수가 점차 증가함에 따라 IP 이동성 관리로 인한 시그널링 트래픽은 급증하게 될 것이며, 이러한 현상은 전반적인 네트워크의 성능을 크게 좌우할 수도 있을 것이다. 본 논문에서는 대표적인 IPv6 이동성 지원 프로토콜인 Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6)와 Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (HMIPv6)의 시그널링 부하에 대한 분석을 위하여, 연속 시간 마코프 체인 모델과 계층적 네트워크 모델을 사용하는 새로운 분석적 접근 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문은 동일한 네트워크 구조 하에서 MIPv6와 HMIPv6가 각각 적용되었을 경우, MN의 평균 도메인 상주 시간 동안에 MN에 의해 발생되는 시그널링 비용들을 분석적 모델링에 기반하여 각각 유도해 낸다. 또한, MN의 이동성 및 트래픽과 관련된 다양한 파라미터들의 변화가 MIPv6와 HMIPv6 하에서 MN에 의해 발생되는 시그널링 비용에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대하여도 살펴본다. 본 논문에서 제안된 분석적 모델링을 통하여, MN의 평균 이동 속도가 빠를수록, 바인딩 라이프타임이 큰 값으로 설정될수록, 그리고 평균 패킷 도착율이 적을수록, MN의 평균 도메인 상주 시간 동안에 HMIPv6 하에서 발생되는 총 시그널링 비용은 MIPv6 하에서 발생되는 총 시그널링 비용보다 상대적으로 더 적어지게 되며, 이와 반대되는 상황 하에서는 MIPv6 하에서의 총 시그널링 비용이 HMIPv6 하에서의 총 시그널링 비용보다 상대적으로 더 적어지게 됨을 알 수 있었다.
