盾构隧道结构耐久性问题思考

Structural durability of shield tunnel lining is a trans scale problem from mesoscopic material to macroscopic structure. With increasing amount of shield tunnel construction in China, the issues related to structural durability become more prominent. In this paper, the typical applications of shield tunnel lining in China and other countries are introduced. The service conditions and diseases of shield tunnel lining structure are then analyzed. The factors affecting the structural durability of shield tunnel lining, such as material, design, environment, construction, management and maintenance, are summarized. The research results and progress related to structural durability of shield tunnel lining are then reviewed in terms of tunnel durability, durability evaluation and prediction, durability ensuring techniques. Finally, the existing problems and future research directions in structural durability of shield tunnel lining are discussed in terms of durability ensuring techniques, impact of diseases and accidents, tunnel evaluation and rehabilitation, arrangement of secondary lining and establishment of dynamic evaluation system for structural durability.     

Eradication of algae in ships＇ ballast water by electrolyzing

In order to verify the effectiveness of electrolytic treatment on ships＇ ballast water, experiments are carried out by a pilot system in laboratory. The raw seawater and seawater with different concentrations of different algae are simulated as ships＇ ballast water. The algae in the raw seawater can be killed if it is treated by electrolysis with an initial residual chlorine concentration of 5 mg/L. If the seawater with one kind of algae （Nitzschia closterum, Dicrateria spp., or Pyramidomonnas sp.105cells/mL） is treated by electrolysis with an initial residual chlorine concentration of 5 mg/L the alga can be sterilized, If the seawater with one kind of algae （Dunaliella sp., Platymonas or Chlorella spp.） is directly treated by electrolyzing with an initial residual chlorine concentration of 4 mg/L, the instant mortality changes with the concentration of different algae. However, after 72 hours, in all treated samples, there are no live algal cells found.     

Quasi-static Compressive Behavior of U-type Corrugated Cores Sandwich Panels

金属基夹层板在船舶耐撞及防护结构设计中的应用研究成为国内外研究热点,夹层板具有高效的吸能特性,尤其是夹芯层结构.以U型折叠式金属基夹层板为研究对象,对夹芯层开展横向压皱力学行为实验研究,利用有限元软件Abaqus对其进行数值仿真研究,对比分析夹芯层结构的压皱力、变形、吸能和平均压皱强度等参数,数值仿真分析了不同单元变形模式(ModeI和Mode II)、初始变形对压皱性能的影响.研究表明:试验研究与数值仿真分析得到的U型夹芯层结构压皱性能吻合较好.夹芯层结构变形模式对结构的压皱行为及其压皱性能有显著的影响,变形模式I的吸能效率、平均压皱强度等性能参数均高于变形模式II.初始缺陷决定了结构的变形模式,随着初始塑性位移缺陷增加夹芯层结构的压皱性能下降.

Strong tracking adaptive Kalman filters for underwater vehicle dead reckoning

To improve underwater vehicle dead reckoning, a developed strong tracking adaptive kalman filter is proposed. The filter is improved with an additional adaptive factor and an estimator of measurement noise covariance. Since the magnitude of fading factor is changed adaptively, the tracking ability of the filter is still enhanced in low velocity condition of underwater vehicles. The results of simulation tests prove the presented filter effective.
