Enhancement of Performance of Semi-Submersible Behaviour on Heave Motion by Adding Heave Plates [PDF]
, 2015 This paper presents the results from a study on the enhancement of the heave performance of a semi-submersible in deepwater by adding heave plates. Heave motion Response Amplitude Operators (RAO) of a conventional semi-submersibles is first obtained ...

Linear Mechatronic Modeling of Rectangular Tank Sloshing Dynamics
International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sloshing dynamics in partially filled tanks can strongly influence system‐level behavior when fluid motion couples with rigid‐body dynamics. This paper presents a linear and acausal two‐dimensional sloshing model for rectangular tanks, based on the reformulation of established sloshing theory within a modular, multi‐domain modeling framework ...

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Swelling of clay‐sulfate rocks is a concern in geotechnical engineering that can damage infrastructure. In the historic town of Staufen in southwest Germany, geothermal drilling into a swellable anhydrite‐bearing clay formation resulted in water inflow and subsequent swelling, triggering ground heave and damage to more than 250 houses.

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The frequency of tobacco use during the postmedieval period is widely underexplored; this has repercussions for our understanding of the intoxicant's health impacts during this time. Our study assesses the frequency rates of tobacco consumption in different social groups in England and the Netherlands, two countries in which tobacco use became

Method for Analysis of an Offshore Heave Compensator
Applied Sciences, 2016 A heave compensation system consists of a drill string compensator (DSC) and an active heave compensator (AHC) cylinder, which together produce control force over an oil pressure system suitable for transmission of considerable power and compensating for

Deformation, Creep, and Dynamics in Glassy Ionomers
Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.Ionic architecture tunes the inelastic deformation of glassy ionomers. Simulations show that ionic associations leave the small‐strain elastic baseline nearly unchanged, but strongly reinforce yielding, strain hardening, and creep resistance. Polyampholyte architectures suppress nonaffine mobility and stress‐induced fluidization most effectively by ...

Modeled Subsidence of Permafrost Terrain 2025–2050: North‐Central Alaska
Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A large fraction of the Alaska terrain is underlain by regolith that contains excess ice (ice that in volume exceeds the natural pore space). Possible loss of excess ice would lead to ground subsidence, which in turn would disturb and destabilize the ground surface.
