Dynamic Simulation of a Smart Crank and Slider Mechanism

In this paper, a smart crank and slider mechanism is analyzed mostly from a dynamic view. By means of dynamic explicit finite element method, 3D nonlinear structure is simulated. It is proved that the mechanism can effectively accomplish smart movement prescribed. And in order to ensure reciprocal movement with higher frequency, measures should be taken to avoid over heating of parts. Compared with internal energy, kinetic energy of total rigid body is dominating, and Y direction equivalent rigid velocity is much higher than X direction velocity. Equivalent rigid velocity of all parts is consistent with respective movement condition. For both energy and velocity, slider effect is dominating. Three direction equivalent inertia force oscillates. Force amplitude in Y -direction is comparitively the greatest.     

Maritime accident investigation and temporal determinants of maritime accidents: A case study

This paper presents the results of an investigation into temporal determinants of maritime accidents based on a data-set obtained from the proceedings of formal inquiries in the former German Democratic Republic (GDR). The results show that there is no statistically significant outcome between the probability for an accident and the time of watch. Thus the results do not confirm previous studies, which reported significant time of day effects.The outcome of this study indicates that marine inquiries can provide useful data for an analysis of underlying causes of maritime accidents. It is suggested that accident inquiries should be extended into the area of watch systems employed and should record the hours of work and of rest of the officers on the watch involved in a maritime accident.     

The role of professional associations in shipping

This article is in three parts. The first covers the historical development of qualifying associations. The second covers the particular role of maritime institutions that include The Royal Institution of Naval Architects, The Institute of Marine Engineering Science and Technology and The Nautical Institute. The third and final section considers the future for maritime professional associations in the context of international shipping.

客运专线列车开行模式确定方法

针对快速客运网背景,将列车开行模式问题定位为列车运行区段与列车类别的协同优化确定问题.通过对列车开行模式类型的分析,提出以运输效用为核心的客运专线列车开行模式确定方法.分析列车开行模式的适用条件,研究列车发车间隔、技术成本系数与旅客时间价值三类因素作用下列车开行模式选择的临界水平.应用数值模拟方法,对路网范围内两类列车开行模式方案进行对比分析.模拟试验的结果显示:列车通达运行范围以技术条件为界的开行模式方案换乘次数较少,平均直达里程较长,且列车无欠速运行.     

建筑项目管理信息化意义重大

随着中国加入WTO,大量外资项目引进以及经济持续高速发展,中国工程项目在基建、房产、公路、水利、能源、勘测等方面的规模和数量急剧增长。与此相比,工程项目管理中的信息技术开发和应用水平并没有"与时俱进"。
