Problems and measures after China''''s WTO entry

China's accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) will not only benefit the country's economic development, but also have far-reaching influences on Chinese society, pointed out a report released by the Development Research Centre under the State Council at a recent forum. WTO membership will accelerate the modernization of Chinese society and have a positive effect on people's lives. However, it may also exacerbate some existing problems such as unemployment and the widening gap between social classes, said the report. The government is urged to draft specific laws and policies to deal with coming challenges, ease potential social conflicts and

China announced recently new measures for the Yangtze River economic belt
A State Council guideline released recently seeks to enhance the traffic capacity of the river and its tributaries. An integrated lransport system will connect roads, railways and air routes by 2020. The Yangtze River Delta is a key pole in China＇s economic growth and the central and western regions boast the largest space for China＇s economic growth.     

Fatigue analysis of the bow structure of FPSO

The bow structure of FPSO moored by the single mooting system is rather complicated. There are many potential hot spots in connection parts of structures between the mooting support frame and the forecastle. Mooting forces, which are induced by wave excitation and transferred by the YOKE and the mooting support frame, may cause fatigue damage to the bow structure. Different from direct wave-induced-forces, the mooting force consists of wave frequency force (WF) and 2nd draft low frequency force (LF) , which are represented by two sets of short-term distribution respectively. Based on two sets of short-term distribution of mooting forces obtained by the model test, the fatigue damage of the bow structure of FPSO is analyzed, with emphasis on two points. One is the procedure and position selection for fatigue check, and the other is the application of new formulae for the calculation of accumulative fatigue damage caused by two sets of short-term distribution of hot spot stress range. From the results distinguished features of fatigue damage to the FPSOs bow structure can be observed.     

海底犁式挖沟机犁体曲面优化设计(英文)

The plow of the submarine plowing trencher is one of the main functional mechanisms, and its optimization is very important. The design parameters play a very significant role in determining the requirements of the towing force of a vessel. A multi-objective genetic algorithm based on analytical models of the plow surface has been examined and applied in efforts to obtain optimal design of the plow. For a specific soil condition, the draft force and moldboard surface area which are the key parameters in the working process of the plow are optimized by finding the corresponding optimal values of the plow blade penetration angle and two surface angles of the main cutting blade of the plow. Parameters such as the moldboard side angle of deviation, moldboard lift angle, angular variation of the tangent line, and the spanning length are also analyzed with respect to the force of the moldboard surface along soil flow direction. Results show that the optimized plow has an improved plow performance. The draft forces of the main cutting blade and the moldboard are 10.6% and 7%, respectively, less than the original design. The standard deviation of Gaussian curvature of moldboard is lowered by 64.5%, which implies that the smoothness of the optimized moldboard surface is much greater than the original.

New Binhai District activates Tianjin Port Infrastructure construction of new Binhai District includes ports, airports, railways and highways. The completion of comprehensive auxiliary facilities of contain delivery system in new Binhai District will drive and power sustainable development of Tianjin Port, which is in the node of comprehensive transpor- tation and logistics network and will provide effective guarantees for Tianjin Port to realize the 1 lth Five-Year plans. The development of modem manufacturing industry in new Binhai District and the increase of radiation ability on economical development in hinterland will promote the growth of logistics businesses. Tianjin Port will face the historical opportunity of rapid growth of throughput and the rapid expansion of port scale. Tianjin Dongjiang Bonded Port, as an important carder and one of new regions of orientation of new Binhai District, is the bonded port approved by the State Council under the background of economical globalization, The Dongjiang Bonded Port enjoys six bests in the country, i.e. the largest area, the best conditions, most preferential policies, highest efficiency, most convenient customs declaration processes and most relaxed environment, Upon the establishment of the bonded port, the State had encouraged new Binhai District to carry out financial reforms and innovation. Key reforms in terms of financial companies, financial businesses, financial market and opening of financial industry were trial implemented in new Binhai District in Tianjin. With the deepening of financial system reforms of new Binhai District, Tianjin Port will meet new opportunities for development of financial industry and expansion of financing. P16[第一段]
