This paper addresses a fleet operation planning problem for a static freight container transportation system in which all the transportation requirements are predetermined at the beginning of a planning horizon. In the transportation system under consideration, a number of loaded containers are to be moved between container storage yards. An optimal fleet planning model is used to determine the minimum number of vehicles required. Based on the results from the optimal model, a tabu-search based algorithm is presented to perform a given transportation requirements with the least number of vehicles. The performance of the new procedure is evaluated through some experiments in comparison with two existing methods, and the it is found that our procedure produces good-quality solutions.

Long bridges, such as suspension bridges and diagonal bridges, are complex phenomena that show different behaviors depending on the shape and rigidity of the cross sections, such as wind vibrations and liquid vibrations from earthquakes in liquid storage containers. This is called the lower skirt on the lower side of the bridge, and the installation of lower skirt is effective for release and vortex vibrations caused by rapid winds, and that increases the stability of the wind resistance of the bridge. Optimal shape and installation of the lower skirt is also essential to make maximum wind speed effect of the lower skirt. Therefore, this study proposes a numerical analysis method to control the vibration of a bridge by calculating the optimal installation angle of an optimal lower skirt according to the optimal control theory and this study evaluates the impact on the optimal control system by minimizing the dominance equation with an evaluation function,which is an indicator for evaluating the optimal control theory state.

Recently, the humidity adjustment of indoor air is of great importance in air conditioning system as a applied, in buildings, vehicles, and containers for storage and transport of perishable products. Membrane dehumidification or air is potentially attractive because it offers low capital and operating costs, along with low energy consumption. And membrane dehumidification process attracted the attention of the public instead of the other dehumidification processes, such as adsorption, absorption, and refrigeration cycles and so on. In this study, the prepared hydrophilic inorganic membrane-based dehumidifiers(membrane air dehumidification) examined the performance of dehumidification. The surface-modified inorganic membrane prepared in this study showed high dehumidification efficiency(over 80%). The membrane might be very useful for dehumidification industries.

The Pusan Container Terminal faces a rapid increase in berthing time of container ships as well as in waiting time of external trucks, which is due to an absolute lack of yard space. This research is focused on the development of a decision support system for the planning of the container terminal yard assignment so that the yard space would be utilized most effectively. Efforts should be given to the reasonable assignment of the yard storage and the dynamic adaptation to the ever changing environment. The software introduced here is based on the know-how of the field exports and its framework takes the approach of the hierarchical decision making.

This work presents an expert system for the classification of a given substance and thus enabling one to select the proper container in consultation with the computer. The system consists of 34 rules and uses Micro Expert as a shell program based on backward chaining method. The prototype system will have to be under extensive test. However, its use is bound to have advantages over conventional methods, e.g. looking up in a reference book or using conventional programs with a database. Since the expert system determines the group of the given substance not by its name but by its physical and chemical properties, it is not necessary to add data items even for newly synthesized substances. The system also provides reasoning for its determination and therefore it can be used as a good package for the training of unskilled operators.

In the present paper, the three-dimensional model of a typical rectangular concrete tank is excited using an artificial and a natural three components earthquake ground motion and the staggered displacement method is utilized for solving the coupled problem of the tank-contained liquid system in time domain. In the proposed method, surface sloshing of the liquid is taken into account in addition to the impulsive term and the appropriate damping values are applied on both of them. The resulted responses are compared with those obtained from the ABAQUS finite element software. It is found that the convective term affects responses extensively and must be considered in seismic design/safety assessment of storage tanks. In addition, the utilized method for solving the coupled problem is stable during the conducted general dynamic analyses and is able to capture the expected phenomena.

A yard in a container terminal is a temporary storage space before containers are loaded onto the target vessel or delivered to consignees. For improving the utilization of the space in the yard and the efficiency of loading and discharging operations, it is important that operation plans must be carefully constructed in advance. A heuristic method is suggested to solve operation space planning problems considering workloads on handling equipment as well as space availabilities. The operation plans in this paper includes quay crane (QC) schedules and space plans for multiple vessels considering the workload in the container yard of container terminals. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of a space planning method and the performance of a new QC scheduling method using a simulation model.

In recent years, the development of radioactive waste containers for nuclear facility decommissioning and dismantling is a critical issue because the Taiwan domestic boiling water reactor nuclear power plant is going to be decommissioned. The main purpose of this research is to design a metal container that meets the structural requirements of related regulations. At first, the shielding analysis was performed by varying dimensions of radioactive waste to determine the storage efficiency of the container. Then, a series of structural analyses for operational and accidental conditions of the container with full load were conducted, such as lifting, stacking, and drop impact conditions. On the other hand, the field drop impact tests were carried out to ensure structural integrity. The present research demonstrates the structural safety of the developed container for decommissioned nuclear facilities in Taiwan.

개발된 항균 포장 원지를 이용하여 포장 봉지(packaging bag)와 골판지 포장 상자(corrugated box)를 제작하였고, 여기에 과채류를 포장하였을 때 일반 포장 봉지나 골판지 상자에서 포장된 과채류 보다 변패 미생물의 발생이나 생체중 감소가 상당히 줄어들었다. 이는 BAAG에 의해 과채류의 변패에 관여하는 미생물의 생육을 차단하였고, 제올라이트에 의해 과채류의 조직을 빠르게 연화시키는 기체들인 에틸렌가스, 이산화탄소 및 산소가 제거되었으며, AKD에 의해 과채류가 보유한 수분 손실을 최소한으로 일어나게 하였기 때문이다. 결론적으로 BAAG, 제올라이트, 그리고 AKD로 처리된 포장 원지를 이용하여 제작한 포장대(packaging bag)과 골판지 포장 상자는 저장 과채류의 선도를 유지하는 데 탁월한 효과를 발휘하였고, 기능성 첨가제의 처리로 인한 제조 원가의 상승은 폐기 과채류의 양이 감소하면서 상쇄시킬 수 있었다. 따라서 일반 골판지 상자에 저장된 과채류보다는 기능성 골판지 상자에 저장하는 방법이 보다 경제적인 저장 방법이 될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

컨테이너 물동량 증가와 컨테이너선의 대형화에 따라서 항만 하역장비는 지속적으로 변화하고 있다. 본 연구는 항만 하역장비 가운데 컨테이너크레인의 기계적 생산성을 상세히 평가하기 위해 개발된 시뮬레이션 모델을 소개한다. 모델은 컨테이너크레인의 메커니즘으로 싱글 및 듀얼 트롤리 방식을, 스프레더 유형으로 싱글, 트윈, 탠덤 방식을 고려하고 컨테이너크레인의 규모와 속도 등에 관련된 세부 사양을 입력받아 기구학적 특성을 구현한다. 또한 외부의 물리적 제약으로 선박의 크기, 컨테이너의 적재위치와 무게를 고려한다. 본 모델은 다양한 입력변수가 파라미터 (parameter)로 분리되어 실험 조건을 편리하게 설정할 수 있으며, 객체 지향적으로 설계 개발되어 향후 새롭게 개발되는 장비 유형이나 기존 장비의 변화를 유연하게 수용할 수 있다.
