Pitting corrosion is typical corrosion observed on coated hold frames of bulk carriers which exclusively carry coal and iron ore. In order to secure the safety of these types of bulk carriers, it is important to understand the effect of pitting corrosion on local strength of hold frames.
In order to investigate this effect, a series of 4- and 3-point bend tests on structural models which consist of web, shell and face plates has been carried out. Artificial pitting was created on the web plate to simulate pitting. In the 4-point bend tests, two equal concentrated loads have been applied vertically at the one-third points of simply supported models so that compression load due to bending would act on the face plate. In this testing condition, lateral-distortional buckling occurred before reaching the ultimate strength and local buckling of the face plate was observed after reaching the ultimate strength. The effect of web plate pitting on the lateral-distortional buckling strength was found to be small but the ultimate strength decreases with increase in the degree of pitting intensity. In the 3-point bend tests, concentrated load has been applied vertically at the center of simply supported models so that compression load due to bending would act on the face plate. In this testing condition, local face buckling occurred just after reaching the ultimate strength. The ultimate strength is found to be decreasing with increase in the degree of pitting intensity.
A series of non-linear FE analyses has been performed to simulate the deformation behavior observed in the tests. It has been revealed that even in the case of randomly distributed pitting corrosion the ultimate strength of the structural models was almost the same as that of the structural models with uniform corrosion corresponding to the average thickness loss. 相似文献
To discuss water-wave problems in unlimited waters, it is important to know what type of wave radiation condition should
be placed on a virtual surface corresponding to infinity. For this kind of problem, the Sommerfeld radiation condition is
well known. In this article, the condition is extended to treat a case with an incident wave. Furthermore, a more general
wave radiation condition is introduced from a different point of view. The above-mentioned wave radiation conditions are introduced
into the variational principles of the Kelvin, Hellinnger–Reissner, and Dirichlet type. The Dirichlet-type variational principles
are then used in numerical calculations for bending waves in a bar, and the effectiveness of the wave radiation conditions
and the variational principles is shown. The numerical results for one-dimensional water-wave problems are then given. As
expected, the region required for the numerical solution is reduced drastically compared with that required by the Sommerfeld-type
formulation. Furthermore, the amplitude of the diverging wave is obtained in the process of reaching the variational solution.
Finally, two-dimensional water-wave problems are briefly discussed.

In recent years, traffic congestion, traffic accidents, and deterioration of the environment because of growing population, increasing urbanization, and increasing car ownership have become serious problems in the Asia-Pacific regions. Intelligent transport systems (ITS) are systems that try to solve various road traffic issues using information communication technologies. Several countries are endeavoring to solve such traffic issues by deploying an ITS and achieving positive results. However, there are some problems in advancing ITS deployment in these countries, such as lack of technical know-how, a lack of coordination among systems, lack of a master plan, and financial constraints. In order to introduce ITSs, it is important to select suitable technologies and applications appropriate for each country. An appropriate plan and evaluation of the ITS project are also important for the introduction of ITS.In this paper, we propose methods for the utilization and introduction of ITS technologies to solve urban traffic issues in various countries, based on the lessons learned from the deployment of an ITS in Japan. 相似文献
New numerical methods are presented for hydroelastic analyses of a very large floating structure (VLFS) of several kilometers
length and width. Several methods are presented that accelerate computation without an appreciable loss of accuracy. The accuracy
and efficiency of the proposed methods are validated through comparisons with other numerical results as well as with existing
experimental results. After confirming the effectiveness of the methods presented, various characteristics of the hydroelastic
behavior of VLFSs are examined, using the proposed methods as numerical tools.
