A location on one of the gussets was selected as the object point, where directional stresses were numerically simulated and also experimentally verified by a strain gage. Environmental loading and the platform's structural strength were analyzed in accordance with industrial standards, utilizing linear wave theory and the finite element method (FEM). The fast Fourier transform technique was used to calculate the stress response amplitude operators (RAO) from the records of measurements. A comparison was performed between the stress RAO of the numerical simulation and that of the actual measurements. The results indicated that the stress RAO of the numerical simulation fitted well with measured data at specified wave headings with different periods.展开更多

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

Analysis reveals that consistent operating conditions and experimental procedure are of critical significance for minimizing the terminal effect of drop coalescence on the accuracy of mass transfer measurements. The novel design of a totally-closed extraction column is proposed for this purpose, which guarantees that the volumetric rate of drop phase injection is exactly equal to that of withdrawal of drops. Tests in two extraction systems demonstrate that the experimental repeatability is improved greatly and the terminal effect of mass transfer during drop coalescence is brought well under control.展开更多

On the other hand. as a typical subsea product, the design will satisfythe requirements of the standards for subsea products. By studying the stress analysisphilosophy of the topside piping and subsea pipeline, a physical model and procedure for piping stress analysis of the SDRB have been established.The conditions of the adverse design load have been considered, and a combination of the static load from the rigid pipeline and the dynamic load flexibility has also been optimized. And a comparative analysis between the AMSE, DNV and API standards for piping stress with the checking rules has been done.Because theSDRB belongs to the subsea pipeline terminal product, the use of DNV standards to check its process piping stress is recommended. Finally, the process piping stress of the SDRB has been calculated, and the results show that the jacket pipe and the carrier pipe stress of the SDRB process piping satisfy the DNV standards as a whole.The bulkhead cannot be accurately simulated by the AutoPIPE software which uses the FEA software ANSYS inthe detailed analysis, but the checking results will still meet the requirements of the DNV standards.展开更多

Plant response to water deficit can be in the form of physiological disorders, such as reduction in transpiration or assimilating partitioning to root growth. Sustainable use of water has become a priority in agriculture and thus innovative irrigation management practices are critical. The study aimed at investigating how watering frequency and terminal water stress influence growth of Pelargonium sidoides, an important medicinal plant in Southern Africa. The trial was a randomized complete block design with three replicates, and treatment factors were watering frequency (everyday, twice and once a week) and terminal water stress (no watering four weeks before harvesting, no watering two weeks before harvesting and no terminal stress). There was an interacting effect of watering frequency and terminal water stress on biomass and fresh root yield. More frequent watering resulted in significantly higher biomass and fresh root yield, compared to other treatments. Watering everyday with terminal or no terminal water stress resulted in higher fresh root yield, compared to other watering treatments with terminal water stress. Plant height and leaf area were significantly affected by watering frequency and terminal water stress, respectively. A significant drop in stomatal conductance of plants watered everyday was observed 240 d after treatment implementation, such that there was no significant difference across all the three watering frequency treatments. In conclusion, farmers can save on irrigation costs by reducing watering frequency, as there was no significant difference on dry root yield.展开更多
