Evaluation of bending moments and shear forces at unit connections of very large floating structures using hydroelastic and rigid body analyses

This paper investigates the characteristics of bending moments, shear forces and stresses at unit connections of very large floating structures (VLFS) under wave loads. The responses of VLFS are calculated by solving multi-body motion equation considering hydroelasticity and connection stiffness. Hydroelastic responses are calculated by the direct method. Higher-order boundary element method (HOBEM) is used for fluid analysis and finite element method (FEM) is introduced for structural analysis. The equation of motion is modified to describe the unit connections by employing spring elements. Bending moments and shear forces at the connections are obtained from the dynamic equilibrium condition for pressures and inertia forces. Two types of VLFS units such as tandem arranged units and side-by-side arranged units are considered in the numerical examples. The influences of connection stiffness, wave frequency and heading angle on responses of VLFS are investigated through the numerical examples. Rigid body analysis along with hydroelastic analysis is also carried out in the numerical analysis and comparison of those two approaches is discussed.     

Changchengite—A New Iridium Bismuthide-Sulphide from the Yanshan Mountains

Changchengite occurs in chromite orebodies in dunite and in platinum placer deposits in chromite orebodies nearby. The mineral occurs as massive aggregates or veinlets on margins of iridisite (IrS2) and replaces it. Opaque. Lustre metallic. Colour steel-black. Streak black. Hm = 3.7. VHN20= 165 kg/ mm2. Isotropic. Cleavage none. Density 11.96 g/ cm3. Seven electron microprobe analyses give the following mean chemical results (wt. %): S 7.2, Cu 0.3, Te 0.4, Ir 41.2, Pt 2.8 and Bi 47.3 with total 99.1. The simplified formula is IrBiS. The strongest X-ray powder diffraction lines (hkl, d, I) are 210, 2.75 (70); 211, 2.51 (60); 311, 1.860 (100); 440. 1.090 (50) and 600, 1.027 (50). The X-ray powder diffraction pattern is similar to that of mayingite. After the diffraction data are indexed the mineral is determined to be cubic. The space group is P213 with a = 0.6164(4) nm, V = 0.2342 nm3 and Z = 4.

南京城区夏季低层逆温对人体舒适状况影响初探

利用2000年夏季南京志区地面气象要素和低层探空资料，分析了该夏季南京城区早、晚低层逆温的频率、厚度和强度变化特征，着重从统计角度研究了逆温的厚度、强度与城区地面温度、相对湿度变化的关系及对人体舒适状况的影响。结果表明：低层逆温对城区地面温湿变化及其幅度影响较大，当07时有逆温层时，08时至14时的温度增加幅度变大，相对温度减小幅度也变大，人体不适指数增加幅度变大；当19时有逆温层时，20时至23时温度减小幅度变小，相对湿度增加幅度也变小，人体不适指数减小幅度变小，并通过相关分析建立了人体舒适度指数与逆温强度之间的回归方程。     

吸积盘谱讨论

本文用数值方法讨论了吸积盘谱与黑体谱的形状和谱指数。结果表明:对于吸积盘用F_v∝v~(1/3)作为其特征谱是不合适的;同时Frank等(1985)所得到的解析式F_v∝v~2也是不正确的。     

变形体条件的土质边坡稳定性分析

基于能量法的上限定理,在定义滑体为变形体的条件下,采用能量法和强度折减法的有机结合,推导得出了土质边坡的能量法安全系数计算公式。能量法与传统刚体极限平衡法的区别在于：(1)前者使用的是能量平衡,而后者使用的是静力平衡;(2)前者将滑体视为变形体,而后者将滑体视为刚体。通过典型算例分析计算,结果显示,采用能量法进行土质边坡稳定性分析,得到的安全系数要比传统的瑞典圆弧法略小。

川南S8滑坡体不稳定现象分析与防治

S8滑坡体后壁出露有新鲜滑动面，两侧呈双沟同源，坡体出现大量裂缝，前缘缓慢推移等，充分说明该滑坡体正处于不稳定状态。主要原因是：季节性洪水侵蚀滑坡体，前缘出现了临空面，使前缘支撑作用减弱；滑坡体内裂隙发育，裂隙水动力作用使滑动面抗滑能力降低；邻近采煤区造成的采动裂隙增加了水动力作用。该滑坡体裂隙丰富，保水性差，不利于植物生长；滑坡体边缘不断垮塌造成水土流失，沉积物淤塞下游河谷。防治措施有：在滑坡体后壁修筑排水沟，关闭邻近小煤窑，在前缘冲沟里构筑堡坎以减小水侵蚀作用；在冲沟里构筑拦砂埂，抬高沟底阻止切向侵蚀，以稳定滑坡体前缘。
