Storage space allocation in container terminals

Container terminals are essential intermodal interfaces in the global transportation network. Efficient container handling at terminals is important in reducing transportation costs and keeping shipping schedules. In this paper, we study the storage space allocation problem in the storage yards of terminals. This problem is related to all the resources in terminal operations, including quay cranes, yard cranes, storage space, and internal trucks. We solve the problem using a rolling-horizon approach. For each planning horizon, the problem is decomposed into two levels and each level is formulated as a mathematical programming model. At the first level, the total number of containers to be placed in each storage block in each time period of the planning horizon is set to balance two types of workloads among blocks. The second level determines the number of containers associated with each vessel that constitutes the total number of containers in each block in each period, in order to minimize the total distance to transport the containers between their storage blocks and the vessel berthing locations. Numerical runs show that with short computation time the method significantly reduces the workload imbalance in the yard, avoiding possible bottlenecks in terminal operations.     

双支撑工作模式下TBM撑靴与围岩接触仿真

撑靴为TBM的前进及稳定性提供保障,与围岩的接触是否均匀直接影响工作的稳定性,针对撑靴与围岩接触会因为应力分布不均匀而导致支撑不稳或围岩坍塌等问题,以新型TBM的撑靴为研究对象,根据试验台的三维模型创建撑靴和其他机构之间的力传递特性,建立双支撑工作模式下撑靴与围岩的接触模型,采用有限元方法研究撑靴与围岩接触面应力、位移分布。结果表明:撑靴与围岩的综合应力分布较为均匀,在周向尺寸上分布在-18°～18°范围内,撑靴接触表面最大应力为13.3 MPa,围岩接触表面最大应力为4.03 MPa。撑靴接触表面综合位移中间小、两端大,而在围岩接触表面综合位移中间大,向四周位移逐渐减小。并且运用赫兹公式对有限元分析的结果进行验证,误差为0.5 MPa,表明分析结果可靠,为提高整机稳定性提供了参考。     

Automatic outer surface extraction of femoral head in CT images

Computer-aided hip surgery planning and implant design applications require accurate segmentation of femoral head and proximal acetabulum. An accurate outer surface extraction of femoral head using marching cubes algorithm remains challenging due to deformed shapes and extremely narrow inter-bone regions. In this paper, we present an automatic and fast approach for segmentation of femoral head and proximal acetabulum which leads to accurate and compact representation of femoral head using marching cubes algorithm. At first, valley-emphasized images are constructed from original images so that valleys stand out in high relief. Otsu’s multiple thresholding technique is applied to seperate the images into bone and non-bone classes. Region growing method and threedimensional (3D) morphological operations are performed to fill holes in the bone. In the reclassification process, the bone regions are further segmented, and the boundaries of the bone regions are further refined based on Bayes decision rule. Finally, marching cubes algorithm is applied to reconstruct a 3D model and extract the outer surface of femoral head and proximal acetabulum. Experimental results show that this method is an accurate segmentation technique for femoral head and proximal acetabulum and it can be applied as a tool in medical practice.
