The Offshore Wind Power Debate: Views from Cape Cod

Wind power resources on the eastern U.S. continental shelf are estimated to be over 400 GW, several times the electricity used by U.S. eastern coastal states. The first U.S. developer proposes to build 130 large (40 story tall) wind turbines in Nantucket Sound, just outside Massachusetts state waters. These would provide 420 MW at market prices, enough electricity for most of Cape Cod. The project is opposed by a vigorous and well-financed coalition. Polling shows local public opinion on the project almost equally divided. This article draws on semistructured interviews with residents of Cape Cod to analyze values, beliefs, and logic of supporters and opponents. For example, one value found to lead to opposition is that the ocean is a special place that should be kept natural and free of human intrusion. One line of argument found to lead to support is: The war in Iraq is problematic, this war is “really” over petroleum, Cape Cod generates electricity from oil, therefore, the wind project would improve U.S. security. Based on analysis of the values and reasoning behind our interview data, we identify four issues that are relevant but not currently part of the debate.     

一种三角形网格自动生成技术

在研究总结目前流行的三角形网格自动生成法的基础上,提出前沿生成与Delaunay三角化组合起来的三角形自动生成方法。该方法解决了Delaunay法中离散点域的构造问题,不会产生重合点,不用进行点集排序和坏点剔除,同时避免了前沿生成法中过多的校验。该法计算效率高,对复杂边界适应性好,可实现三角形尺度的渐变过渡。应用该方法成功进行了三峡电站日调节数学模型计算域的自动剖分。

港区铺面设计中的集装箱角荷载

针对我国港区铺面中现行的集装箱角荷载设计方法的合理性问题,通过统计分析当前我国7个港口的集装箱质量分布规律,指出现行《港口工程荷载规范》与《港口道路与堆场设计规范》中关于集装箱角设计荷载规定的不合理之处:前者采用基于英国港口集装箱质量分布数据的折减系数法不符合我国情况,严重偏小;后者不能体现不同重要程度港口的设计需求差异性。进而,提出铺面结构设计时确定集装箱角荷载的建议。成果完善和改进了我国集装箱角荷载的设计方法,对港区铺面的建设和使用具有重要的价值和意义。     

双向应力场中表面裂纹应力强度因子的权函数法

半椭圆表面裂纹是船舶等焊接结构中常见的损伤形式,计算裂纹尖端应力强度因子是结构损伤容限设计的前提,权函数法是求解复杂应力场中应力强度因子的有效手段之一。本文基于一种集中力载荷权函数统一形式,通过三维有限元建模计算了裂纹半长比a/c=0.05~1.0、裂纹深度比a/T=0.01~0.8的表面裂纹应力强度因子,并将其作为参考解,得到一组形状适用范围更广的有限厚度平板表面裂纹最深点和表面点的二维权函数。权函数的准确性通过在裂纹面上施加最高六阶的双向变化应力载荷进行验证,权函数法结果与有限元法相比求解误差在10%以内。文中所提出的权函数为复杂焊接结构表面裂纹扩展分析奠定了基础。     

三体船重量分布对波浪载荷的影响

三体船根据执行任务、续航时间、航行区域等实际要求,存在着不同的载重状态。文中基于三维势流理论和简单格林函数法,分别对三体船4种典型重量分布情形下的剖面波浪载荷进行长期预报,比较分析了纵向重量分布对三体船波浪载荷的影响。结果表明,三体船全船纵向重量分布更加均匀,有助于降低剖面波浪载荷。

公交服务质量是影响公交出行分担率的重要因素. 本文利用联合分析方法对乘客对于公交服务的属性偏好进行研究. 通过实际调查及数据分析,得出了可靠性、发车间隔、步行时间等方面属性水平的效用值,并由此确定了各种属性的权重. 研究结果表明乘客最为重视的是可靠性,其次是车内环境、步行时间、发车间隔,而站台环境和价格所占权重较小. 本文还对南京市的公交服务质量进行了调查. 结果表明乘客对于高峰时期可靠性、车内环境和发车间隔的评价低于非高峰时期,且乘客对于可靠性的评价很低,对于高峰时期的车内环境和发车间隔的评价也较低.     

Conjoint Analysis Based Transit Service Quality Research

Transit quality service is an important factor that affects the bus split rate. This paper studies the passenger's preference of the bus service with the conjoint analysis. Through the actual survey and data analysis, the utility values of the reliability, frequency, walking time, etc. are measured. And the attributes' weights are determined through the utility values. The results show that the bus reliability is passengers' first concern, which is followed by in-bus environment, walking time and frequency. And the station environment and the price weight low. Then the bus service quality in Nanjing was investigated based on the attributes. The results show that passengers' evaluations about reliability, in-bus environment and frequency in the peak period are much lower than that in the non-peak period. And their evaluation on reliability is very low. The peak period in-bus environment and frequency also get bad evaluation.
