The experimental model is scaled according to a full size platform by matching its dynamic properties. Rectangular and circular TLDs of various sizes and water depths are examined. The experiments were performed in a 2-D wave flume. The effectiveness of TLDs is evaluated based on their response reduction. By observing the performance and the behavior of TLDs through laboratory experiments, the effects of a number of parameters including container shape, container size, number of dampers, frequency ratio, mass ratio, and incident wave characteristics are investigated.展开更多

Different from the traditional stents, a novel stent with triangular wire cross-section was proposed, and numerical simulations were performed to compare the hemodynamic effect of the novel stent with that of traditional ones. Three constructed aneurysm models were treated with a different kin^l of stent separately, including one with bare circular wire cross-section stent （named CM）, one with bare rectangular wire cross-section stent （named RM）, one with bare triangular cross-section stent （named TM）. An unstented aneurysm model was also constructed to serve as a control （named UM）. Numerical simulations of the fluid-structure interaction in these four models were performed under the same boundary conditions using finite element method. The simulation results demonstrated the resistance of the novel stent is lower than RM stent, but higher than that of CM stent. TM stent attributes a higher velocity decreasing and a longer turnover time compared with CM stent. The distribution of wall shear stress indicated the possibility of aneurysm development along the distal wall was higher than the proximal wall, and the top of aneurysm was in the highest risk of rupture.展开更多

In this paper, results from a finite element analysis, verified against experimental data, are used to study the effect of the pile＇s inclination angle, and its interaction with the geometrical properties of the pile and the geotechnical characteristics of the surrounding soil on the behavior of the inclined piles supporting the jacket platforms. Results show that the inclination angle is one of the main parameters affecting the behavior of an offshore pile. We investigated the effect of the inclination angle on the maximum von Mises stress, maximum von Mises elastic strain, maximum displacement vector sum, maximum displacement in the horizontal direction, and maximum displacement in the vertical direction. Results indicate that the pile＇s operationally optimal degree of inclination is approximately 5°. By exceeding this value, the instability in the surrounding soil under applied loads grows extensively in all the geotechnical properties considered. Cohesive soils tend to display poorer results compared to grained soils.展开更多

Al- though a number of policy integration and sec- urity analysis mechanisms have been devel- oped, few focus on enabling the average ad- ministrator by providing an intuitive cognitive sense about the integrated policies, which considerably undermines the usability factor. In this paper we propose a visualization flame- work for inter-domain access control policy integration, which integrates Role Based Ac- cess Control （RBAC） policies on the basis of role-mapping and then visualizes the inte- grated result. The role mapping algorithm in the framework considers the hybrid role hier- archy. It can not only satisfy the security con- straints of non-cyclic inheritance and separa- tion of duty but also make visualization easier. The framework uses role-permission trees and semantic substrates to visualize the integrated policies. Through the interactive policy query visualization, the average administrator can gain an intuitive understanding of the policy integration result.展开更多
