Such calculations allow for more accurate prediction of the ice performance of a designed ship and provide inputs for designers of ship power and automation systems. Preliminary calculations of ship propulsion and thrust characteristics in ice can enable predictions of full-scale ice resistance without measuring the propeller thrust during sea trials. Measuring propeller revolutions,ship speed, and the power delivered to propellers could be sufficient to determine the propeller thrust of the vessel. At present, significant difficulties arise in determining the thrust of icebreakers and ice-class ships in ice conditions. These challenges are related to the fact that the traditional system of propeller/hull interaction coefficients does not function correctly in ice conditions. The wake fraction becomes negative and tends to minus infinity starting from a certain value of the propeller advance coefficient. This issue prevents accurate determination of the performance characteristics, thrust, and rotational speed of the propulsors. In this study, an alternative system of propeller/hull interaction coefficients for ice is proposed. It enables the calculation of all propulsion parameters in ice based on standard hydrodynamic tests with selfpropulsion models. An experimental method is developed to determine alternative propeller/hull interaction coefficients. A prediction method is suggested to determine propulsion performance in ice based on the alternative interaction coefficient system. A case study applying the propulsion prediction method for ice conditions is provided. This study also discusses the following issues of ship operation in ice: the scale effect of icebreaker propellers and the prospects for introducing an ice interaction coefficient.展开更多

文摘The dynamics of beams subjected to moving loads are of practical importance since the responses caused by these loads can be greater than those under equivalent static loads in some cases.In this work,a novel inertial nonlinear energy sink(NES)is applied for the first time to achieve vibration suppression in beams under moving loads.Based on the Timoshenko beam theory,the nonlinear motion equations of a beam with an inertial NES are derived using the energy method and Lagrange equations.The Newmark-βmethod combined with the Heaviside step function is adopted to calculate the responses of the beam under moving loads of constant amplitude and harmonic excitation.The accuracy of the modelling derivation and solution methodology are validated through comparisons with results from other studies.The results demonstrate that the velocity and excitation frequency of the moving load significantly affect the response of the beam as well as the performance of the inertial NES.To enhance its effectiveness under various moving load conditions,parametric optimization is numerically performed.The optimized inertial NES can achieve good performance by efficiently reducing the maximum deflection of the beam.The findings of this study contribute to advancing the understanding and application of NESs in mitigating structural vibrations caused by moving loads.

文摘Aeroelastic control is a critical technique for high-aspect-ratio flexible wings.A novel aeroelastic control method is introduced,utilizing the internal Moving Mass Control(MMC)technique,which demonstrates the potential to fulfill hybrid control demands without incurring a drag penalty.Dynamic equations for a flexible wing equipped with a spanwise moving mass under unsteady aerodynamic loading are derived using mass position as the input variable.Controloriented analyses indicate that intrinsic structural frequencies,flutter characteristics,and gust response can be actively modified by varying the spanwise and chordwise positions of the mass element.Among these,the chordwise position exerts a more significant impact on the structural modes and flutter speed of the wing.A hybrid aeroelastic control system,incorporating motion planning and control law,is proposed to evaluate real-time performance in Active Flutter Suppression(AFS)and Gust Load Alleviation(GLA).Control outcomes suggest that,with a mass ratio of 1/16 and a half-chord installation area for the guide rail,flutter speed increases by about 10%.Additionally,excitation amplitudes across different gust frequencies are substantially mitigated,achieving a maximum reduction of vibration amplitude by about 73%.These findings offer a comprehensive understanding of the MMC technique and its application to flexible aircraft.

文摘Moving-load induced vibrations can,in certain instances,exceed those caused by equivalent static loads,especially at the critical velocity of moving loads.Suppressing these vibrations is of critical practical importance in various engineering fields,including the design of precision robotics and advanced aerospace structures where components are subject to moving loads.In this paper,an inertial nonlinear energy sink(NES)is used for the first time to reduce the vibration response of graphene platelet(GPL)-reinforced nanocomposite beams with elastic boundaries under moving loads.Based on the von Kármán nonlinear theory,the governing equations of the beam-NES system are derived using the Lagrange equation.The Newmark-Newton method,in conjunction with the Heaviside step function,is used to obtain the nonlinear responses of the beam under moving loads.The effects of the boundary spring stiffness,the GPL parameters,as well as the velocity and frequency of the moving loads on the beam response and the performance of the NES are thoroughly studied.The results of this work provide insights into applying NESs to suppress the nonlinear vibrations induced by moving loads in composite structures with elastic boundaries.

文摘Moving Target Defense(MTD)necessitates scientifically effective decision-making methodologies for defensive technology implementation.While most MTD decision studies focus on accurately identifying optimal strategies,the issue of optimal defense timing remains underexplored.Current default approaches—periodic or overly frequent MTD triggers—lead to suboptimal trade-offs among system security,performance,and cost.The timing of MTD strategy activation critically impacts both defensive efficacy and operational overhead,yet existing frameworks inadequately address this temporal dimension.To bridge this gap,this paper proposes a Stackelberg-FlipIt game model that formalizes asymmetric cyber conflicts as alternating control over attack surfaces,thereby capturing the dynamic security state evolution of MTD systems.We introduce a belief factor to quantify information asymmetry during adversarial interactions,enhancing the precision of MTD trigger timing.Leveraging this game-theoretic foundation,we employMulti-Agent Reinforcement Learning(MARL)to derive adaptive temporal strategies,optimized via a novel four-dimensional reward function that holistically balances security,performance,cost,and timing.Experimental validation using IP addressmutation against scanning attacks demonstrates stable strategy convergence and accelerated defense response,significantly improving cybersecurity affordability and effectiveness.
