Artificial neural networks and their application to assessment of ultimate strength of plates with pitting corrosion 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The potential for the structural capability degrading effects of both corrosion and fatigue induced cracks are of profound importance and must be both fully understood and reflected in vessel's inspection and maintenance programme. Corrosion has been studied and quantified by many researchers, however its effect on structural integrity is still subject to uncertainty, particularly with regards to localized corrosion. The present study is focused on assessing the effects of localized pitting corrosion on the ultimate strength of unstiffened plates. Over 265 non-linear finite-element analyses of panels with various locations and sizes of pitting corrosion have been carried out. The results indicate that the length, breadth and depth of pit corrosion have weakening effects on the ultimate strength of the plates while plate slenderness has only marginal effect on strength reduction. Transverse location of pit corrosion is also an important factor determining the amount of strength reduction. When corrosion spreads transversely on both edges, it has the most deteriorating effect on strength. In addition, artificial neural network (ANN) method is applied to derive a formula to predict ultimate strength reduction of locally corroded plates. It is found out that the proposed formulae can accurately predict the ultimate strength of locally corroded plates under uniaxial in-plane compression. 相似文献

Length, height, thickness and spacing measurements of pressure solution seams at outcrop, hand sample and thin section scale were taken from clastic rocks located in the southwest of Ireland. The lengths and spacings of pressure solution seams have similarly shaped (approximately log-hyperbolic) distributions at the observed scales suggesting that length and spacing distributions are scale-independent over the scales studied with a fractal dimension in the range of 1.4 to 1.6. Pressure solution seam lengths and thicknesses are related by a power-law and their spacings have a linear relationship to bed thickness. Although pressure solution seams are often considered as anticracks (forming under the same remote stresses as joints, but with opposite sign) we describe how the mechanism of pressure solution differs substantially from that of jointing. We use an existing mechanical model to show that stresses around pressure solution seam tips are much lower than those for joints under equal but opposite loading conditions. Pressure solution seams also have a decreasing tendency to lengthen as they grow, which is reflected in their length distributions. We propose that pressure solution seams, unlike joints, do not reach fracture saturation spacing because of transverse coalescence. 相似文献

Seismic hazard studies were conducted for Gaziantep city in the South Anatolia of Turkey. For this purpose, a new attenuation
relationship was developed using the data of Zaré and Bard and accelerations were predicted employing this new equation. Deterministic
approach, total probability theorem and GIS methodology were all together utilized for the seismic assessments. Seismic hazard
maps with 0.25° grid intervals considering the site conditions were produced by the GIS technique. The results indicated that
the acceleration values by the GIS hazard modelings were matched with the ones from the deterministic approach, however, they
were underestimated comparing with the total probability theorem. In addition, the GIS based seismic hazard maps showed that
the current seismic map of Turkey fairly yields conservative acceleration values for the Gaziantep region. Therefore, the
constructed GIS hazard models are offered as a base map for a further modification of the current seismic hazard map. 相似文献

On 12 November 1999, the Anatolian earthquake in Turkey damaged a partially completed motorway viaduct. The viaduct, which is some 2.3 km long, passes over the Düzce Fault as the route starts its ascent into the Turkish plateau. The Düzce Fault is a northern offshoot of the main North Anatolian Fault (NAF) Zone, and cuts the viaduct at an acute angle of 15 degrees. Movements along the NAF have been identified as the prime cause of the earthquake. Alternatives to a viaduct crossing had been considered in the feasibility stage, but were ruled out because of the rugged landslide-influenced terrain and requirements for an even motorway ascent grade. The relative displacement of around 120 equally spaced piers identified the nature of the ground displacements and gave an indication as to the likely areas of foundation damage. This article examines the damage caused to the viaduct during the earthquake. 相似文献

Geotechnical site conditions that can be very different due to changes in thickness and properties of soil layers, depth of bedrock and water table are among the main factors controlling earthquake characteristics on the ground surface. Soil layers subjected to cyclic stresses may lead to degradation of stress–strain and shear strength properties. The laboratory tests were conducted to evaluate the changes in the stress–strain and shear strength characteristics in terms of threshold cyclic shear stresses and cyclic yield stress. The effects of local site conditions are assessed based on geotechnical site conditions and earthquake source characteristics. 相似文献

A new predictive formula for the total longshore sediment transport (LST) rate was developed from principles of sediment transport physics assuming that breaking waves mobilize the sediment, which is subsequently moved by a mean current. Six high-quality data sets on hydrodynamics and sediment transport collected during both field and laboratory conditions were employed to evaluate the predictive capability of the new formula. The main parameter of the formula (a transport coefficient), which represents the efficiency of the waves in keeping sand grains in suspension, was expressed through a Dean number based on dimensional analysis. The new formula yields predictions that lie within a factor of 0.5 to 2 of the measured values for 62% of the data points, which is higher than other commonly employed formulas for the LST rate such as the CERC equation or the formulas developed by Inman–Bagnold and Kamphuis, respectively. The new formula is well suited for practical applications in coastal areas, as well as for numerical modeling of sediment transport and shoreline change in the nearshore. 相似文献
