In this paper, taking a simplified 3-D finite element dynamic model in extreme storm conditions as research object, a transient dynamic analysis method was proposed, which was under both regular and irregular wave loads. The steps of dynamic analysis under extreme conditions were illustrated with an applied case, and the dynamic amplification factor (DAF) was calculated for each response parameter of base shear, overturning moment and hull sway. Finally, the structural response results of dynamic and static were compared and analyzed. The results indicated that the static strength analysis of the Jack-up Platforms was not enough under the dynamic loads including wave and current, further dynamic response analysis considering both computational efficiency and accuracy was necessary.展开更多

The main objective of this approach is to increase the credibility status of the chain of custody on the handling of the material during incident (crime) scene management process (for both nuclear forensics and traditional forensic evidence collection) and its transportation from the scene to the suitable storage facility at Necsa. Aspects to be looked into during the response process include interactions between law enforcement agencies, Necsa relevant departments and the National Nuclear Regulator of South Africa. This paper focuses on the entire whole response process and associated prior arrangements, in order to show and provide a set of requirements attached to the material, the scope of critical relevant technical and law enforcement information that to be acquired by all parties involving and participating in the nuclear/radiological incident or event response process before the material is authorized for storage at a suitably qualified Necsa's nuclear forensics, which is dedicated storage facility on Pelindaba site.展开更多

The main challenge in the construction of flexible PDs is to maintain the optoelectronic performance during repetitive bending, folding and stretching.Herein, flexible PDs based on ZnO nanowires(NWs) and CsPbBr3 nanosheets(NSs) were constructed by an integrated low-dimensional structure strategy. Benefiting from the flexibility of unique sheet and wire structures, the PDs were able to maintain excellent operational stability under various mechanical stresses. For example, the PDs exhibited no obvious changes in optoelectronic performance after bending for 1000 times. Additionally, the PDs exhibited an integrated broadband response ranging from ultraviolet to visible region due to the combination of the intrinsic light absorption capability of ZnO and CsPbBr3. The PDs demonstrated high responsivities of 3.10 and 0.97 A W^-1 and detectivities of 5.57×10^12 and1.71×10^12 Jones under ultraviolet and visible light irradiation,respectively. The proposed construction strategy for highly flexible and performance-integrated PDs shows great potential in future smart, wearable optoelectronic devices.展开更多
