  • A large cage system for the purpose of fishes farming in the open sea was influenced by various forces from the ocean environment. The deformation of the cage by these forces affects the safety of the cage itself, as well as that of the cultivated creatures. In this research, theoretical model was established to analyzing dynamic movement influenced by current for cage. Also, to increase the accuracy of calculations, the reduction ratio of flow speed acquired using the flume tank experiment. Applying the reduction ratio of flow speed to the numerical calculation, the calculation values were compared with the measured values in the flume tank experiment using cage model. The results were as follows ; 1. When the flow speed of the flume tank is fixed, the decrease of the velocity of flow which is passed the upper panel side is proportion to the increase of porosity ratio of netting. 2. When the porosity ratio is fixed, the increase of the velocity of flow which is passed the upper panel side is proportion to the increase of velocity of flow. 3. When the porosity ratio and the flow speed of the flume tank are fixed, the decrease of the velocity of flow which is passed the upper panel side is proportion to the increase of attack angle. 4. As a result of comparison between the underwater shape by simulation which is applying the reduction ratio of flow speed from the experiment using plane netting and that by model experiment, it was found out that the result of the simulation was very close to that of model gear within ${\pm}$ 5 % error range.

  • Transverse rib web of orthotropic steel decks is highly susceptible to stress concentration due to out-of-plane and oil canning deformation caused by longitudinal rib distortion. In particular, stress concentrations are observed in the crossing point of longitudinal rib-transverse rib-deck plate, and cutout parts of transverse rib. The main objective of this study is to improve structure performance and to reduce the stress concentration of aforementioned susceptible parts. It is known that the installation of diaphragm alleviates stress concentrations between crossing point ant cutout. The influence of transverse rib placement and cutout width on stress concentrations was thoroughly investigated through numerical analyses. The numerical result showed that diaphragms produce the structural details for improved structure performance, when the transverse rib was placed in the same location with diaphragms. In any case, it is certain that the installation of diaphragms has more advantageous than the case without diaphragms in terms of structure performance of orthotropic steel decks. In this study, the distance ratio($y_i/y_{total}$) is defined as the ratio of the distance($y_{total}$) between the deck plate and longitudinal rib bottom to the distance($y_i$) between the deck plate and crossing point of longitudinal rib-transverse rib in cutout part. It has been found that the optimal distance ratio was 0.85 from the numerical simulation.

  • Double symmetric patch repair of existing structures always causes membrane action only, however, in many cases this technique is not practical. On the other hand, the bending stiffness of the patch and the skin increases as tensile loading is increased and affects the bending deformation significantly in the case of single-sided patch repair. In this study, the p-convergent full layerwise model has been proposed to determine the stress concentration factor in the vicinity of a circular hole as well as across the thickness of plates with single-sided patch repair. In assumed displacement field, the strain-displacement relations and 3-D constitutive equations of a layer are obtained by the combination of 2-D and 3-D hierarchical shape functions. The transfinite mapping technique has been used to represent a circular boundary and Gauss-Lobatto numerical integration is implemented in order to directly obtain stresses occurred at the nodal points of each layer without other extrapolation techniques. The accuracy and simplicity of the present model are verified with comparison of the previous results in literatures using experiment and conventional 3-D finite element. Also, the bending effect has been investigated with various patch types like square, circular and annular shape.

  • This study deals with free vibrations of laminated composite structures with a channel section using finite element method. In this paper, the mixed finite element method using Lagrangian and Hermite interpolation functions is adopted and a high-order plate theory is used to analyze laminated composite non-prismatic folded plates with a channel section more accurately for free vibration. The theory accounts for parabolic distribution of the transverse shear stress and requires no shear correction factors supposed in the first-order plate theory. An 32×32 matrix is assembled to transform the system element matrices from the local to global coordinates using a coordinate transformation matrix, in which an eighth drilling degree of freedom (DOF) per node is appended to the existing 7-DOF system. The results in this study are compared with those of available literatures for the conventional and first-order plate theory. Sample studies are carried out for various layup configurations and length-thickness ratio, and geometric shapes of plates. The significance of the high-order plate theory in analyzing complex composite structures with a channel section is enunciated in this paper.
