An integrated spatio-temporal GIS toolkit for exploring intra-household interactions

This paper reports on the development of an integrated spatio-temporal GIS toolkit that facilitates the exploration of intra-household interactions. Two tools comprise the toolkit. The first tool, Space-Time Coincidence Analyst, identifies joint activity/travel episodes undertaken by household members. The core of this tool is a set of flexible criteria for classifying episodes as either joint or independent. The second tool, Space-Time Path Visualizer, not only displays space-time paths for household members, but also shows joint episodes undertaken by any two household members together. The toolkit can be applied to any household-based, activity/travel data set so long as required information is specified by the user. To demonstrate its usefulness for research, the toolkit is applied to the TAPS (Toronto Activity Panel Survey) 2002–03 data set. The results suggest that considerable variation exists in the number of joint activity/travel episodes identified using different classification criteria. Specifically, when using restrictive criteria (i.e., same timing, specific activity type/travel mode), only 2,265 joint activity/travel episodes are identified compared to 8,791 when using more flexible criteria. In turn, our results show that certain key attributes for independent and joint activity/travel episodes (i.e., frequency per household, starting time, ending time and duration) also vary under the different classification criteria.

Monitoring blade loads for a floating wind turbine in wave basin model tests using Fiber Bragg Grating sensors: A feasibility study

The blade loading contains sufficient information about the unsteady aerodynamics of Floating Wind Turbines (FWTs), and it serves as the basis for advanced controller developments. Wave basin model test is among the most reliable and economical methods for FWT investigations. However, few FWTs were reported being able to monitor the blade loads during wave basin tests. The main obstacles include strict space/mass limitations in model manufacturing and problems associated with signal transmission between rotating blades and stationary signal processing unit. In this paper, the feasibility of detecting blade loads for model FWT in wave basin tests is investigated. An on-line monitoring system is developed based on Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors and a Fiber Optical Rotary Joint (FORJ). Extensive validation tests are conducted under different environmental and operational conditions. Results show that the proposed FBG-FORJ sensing system presents impressive feasibility and reliability. As the authors know, it is among the first attempts to monitor the blade loads in real-time for model FWTs in wave basin tests. The present study will serve to enrich the knowledge about unsteady aerodynamics of FWTs and lay the foundation for experimental studies on advanced FWT controllers.

Local joint flexibility element for offshore plateforms structures

A large number of offshore platforms of various types have been installed in deep or shallow waters throughout the world. These structures are mainly made of tubular members which are interconnected by using tubular joints. In tubular frames, joints may exhibit considerable flexibility in both elastic and plastic range of response. The resulting flexibility may have marked effects on the overall behavior of offshore platforms.This paper investigates the effects of joint flexibility on local and global behavior of tubular framed structures in linear range of response. A new joint flexibility element is developed on the basis of flexibility matrix and implemented in a finite-element program to account for local joint flexibility effects in analytical models of tubular framed structures. The element formulation is considerably easy and straightforward in comparison with other existing tubular joint elements. It was concluded that developed flexible joint model produces accurate results comparing to sophisticated multi-axial finite element joint models.
