单向复合材料高应变率下材料特性的研究

在船舶领域,复合材料及夹芯复合材料板梁结构已大量应用在舰船结构中,尤其游艇及复合材料高速艇上.在运行过程中,这些结构有时很可能会受到如砰击、碰撞等动态载荷或高速冲击载荷.然而到目前为止,大多数的结构设计所用到的材料特性仍基于低应变率情况下的准静态测试结果.该文研究了高速艇等结构中的纤维增强复合材料高应变率情况下的材料特性,通过引入一种粘弹性模型来模拟并分析研究对象.并在世界先进的INSTRON高应变率材料试验机上设计并完成了相关试验,验证了该枯弹性模型、确定了模型中的材料参数.该粘弹性模型然后被用来研究分析应变率对单向复合材料机械特性的影响.     

水面船舶推进轴系回旋振动研究综述

  目的  大型船舶的推进轴系一般具有轴系长、跨度大、细长比小等特点,其弯曲变形与纵向变形之间易存在弹性耦合效应,从而引起轴系异常振动,影响轴系的安全稳定运行。为了研究轴系弯—纵耦合的非线性振动特性,  方法  利用变分原理推导轴系发生弯—纵耦合时的非线性振动方程,采用有限元法（FEM）、打靶法等数值方法,以及多尺度法等近似解析方法对非线性方程进行求解,并对比分析弯—纵耦合效应对轴系非线性振动特性的影响。  结果  计算结果表明：弯—纵耦合效应将导致轴系响应中出现多频响应、跳跃现象、能量迁移等复杂的振动现象,同时将增加轴系弯曲方向和纵向方向的固有频率。  结论  研究成果可为大型船舶推进轴系的工程设计提供参考。     

Modelling the provision of transport with planned or market‐determined public transport services

Implications of the difference between planned and market‐determined public transport services for the modelling of the transport system and its use are examined. In the former case, the task for government seeking to optimise performance of the transport system has a standard bi‐level form, but in the latter case, the lower‐level problem in the bi‐level formulation is to determine mutually consistent solutions to a pair of optimisation problems. The relevance of the mutually consistent solution in this context is contrasted with its sometimes misleading role in the context of optimisation of urban traffic signal control.     

Driver fatigue: a vision-based approach to automatic diagnosis

In this paper, we describe a system that locates and tracks the eyes of a driver. The purpose of such a system is to perform detection of driver fatigue. By mounting a small camera inside the car, we can monitor the face of the driver and look for eye movements which indicate that the driver is no longer in condition to drive. In such a case, a warning signal should be issued. This paper describes how to find and track the eyes. We also describe a method that can determine if the eyes are open or closed. The primary criterion for this system is that it must be highly non-intrusive. The system must also operate regardless of the texture and the color of the face. It must also be able to handle changing conditions such as changes in light, shadows, reflections, etc. Initial experimental results are very promising even when the driver moves his/her head in a way such that the camera does not have a frontal view of the driver’s face.     

Altimeter assimilation in the OCCAM global model: Part I: A twin experiment

An altimeter data assimilation scheme has been tested in the OCCAM (Ocean Circulation and Climate Advanced Modelling) global 1/4°, 36-level model using a twin experiment format. The Cooper and Haines displacement scheme is used. The method works well in most regions and depths. Currents and densities in the top 1000 m generally improve by over 50–70% after 5 months of sea level assimilation every 15 days. Below 1000 m, an error reduction of up to 50% is achieved. The errors remain low during a further 60-day run without assimilation. Diagnostics for the North Atlantic, the Tropical Pacific and the Antarctic Circumpolar Current are shown alongside the global averages.The main problems encountered were in weakly stratified regions of the Antarctic and Arctic seas. A scale selective filter is developed to avoid assimilating scales much larger than the local deformation radius, and this avoids the adverse assimilation effects in the southern oceans. A companion paper uses this scheme to assimilate TOPEX and ERS-1 altimeter maps.

Transport economics: A personal view

The field of transportation attracts individuals from diverse backgrounds, seeking to make contributions to policy, planning, operations and strategy. Economists are one of the more visible subsets of players, who bring a specific focus to the transport problem. The key theme of this paper is economic efficiency and ways that transport economics seeks to achieve efficient outcomes in the presence of markets and institutions that to varying degrees distort the potential to fulfil this primary goal. We review some of the recent contributions to the literatures on institutional and market reform, travel choice and demand. As we enter the next century, there is a sense of promoting ‘back to basics’ (and redefinition of what skills transport specialists will require) in seeking a better understanding of the role of markets and institutions in guiding the destiny of the transport sector.
