Theoretical Elucidation On The Corrosion Tube Growth Mechanism Of Mild Steel In The Effect Of Ph On Oxygen Corrosion At Elevated Pressures, Ming-Te Liang
Journal of Marine Science and Technology
The major purpose of this paper is the theoretical elucidation of the corrosion tube growth mechanism of mild steel occurred from the effect of pH value and oxygen corrosion at elevated pressure provided by Riggs et al. [6]. Based on the Nernst-Planck equation, continuity principle, Green's theorem, Stokes's theorem and the equation of Newton's second law of motion, the mechanism of corrosion tube development can be explained theoretically. The Bernoulli sum is contant at any cross-section of tubular corrosion product. The implication of the present results are theoretically enhanced the formation of corrosion tube mechanism.

Case Study Of Wind-Resistant Design And Analysis Of High Mast Structures Based On Different Wind Codes, Ching-Wen Chien, Jing-Jong Jang
Case Study Of Wind-Resistant Design And Analysis Of High Mast Structures Based On Different Wind Codes, Ching-Wen Chien, Jing-Jong Jang
Journal of Marine Science and Technology
The high mast structure (HMS) has the characters of light weight and high cost efficiency. Therefore, it is widely used in the modern construction industry. It has a large the ratio of height (H) to least horizontal dimension (D) that makes it a particularly more slender and wind-sensitive than any other structures. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to develop the wind-resistant design (WRD) procedure for the slender, tapered support structures of HMS subjected to wind-induced excitation from vortex shedding and gust buffeting. This paper illustrates the theoretical basis and the analytical development of the WRD; including calculating gust …

The Manpower Supply Planning And Shift Setting For Mass Rapid Transit Carriage Maintenance In Short-Term Operations, Shangyao Yan, Chia-Hung Chen, Miawjane Chen
Journal of Marine Science and Technology
An effective carriage maintenance plan cannot only reduce the mass rapid transit system operating costs, but is also directly related to its safety and schedule punctuality. Traditionally, the arrangement of the carriage maintenance manpower supply has been based on staff experience, and has been performed manually following simple rules. This is not only time-consuming but often ineffective. Therefore, in this research, we incorporate flexible management strategies, different combinations of principles, and the related operating constraints, to develop a basic carriage maintenance manpower supply plan model. Furthermore, we construct an integrated model by modifying the basic model, which can help an …

Phase Unwrapping InSAR Image Using Local Energy Minimization Approach. Reconstruction process of phase data from its cover is called Phase Unwrapping (PU). Ideally, without any noise phrase, singularity, and aliasing problems, the phase information can be unwrapped easily. However, in fact, the phase data actually always get noise disturbance and discontinuity. The PU process becomes more complicated and needs a better PU algorithm to address the problems properly. In this research, the local PU algorithm is developed using minimization of close related firstorder pixels energy approach. In this method, the energy difference between four close related pixels is counted, followed …

Makara Journal of Technology
A method, called spectral response surface method, is proposed for the study of the ringing phenomenon of offshore structures. Newman’s results for diffraction force on a column were reformulated in terms of the frequency components of the ocean surface and their Hilbert transforms. Using a first-order reliability method together with a dynamic model for the structural response, it is straightforward to calculate the ocean surface history most likely to generate an extreme ringing response and the ringing response history.

Determining The Repair Ranking Of Existing Rc Bridges Using Multi-Pole Fuzzy Pattern Recognition Evaluation Method, Ming-Te Liang, Ting- Bang Chu, Wen-Hu Tsao, Chi-Jang Yeh
Journal of Marine Science and Technology
This paper proposes a technique for determining the repair ranking of existing reinforced concrete (RC) bridges using the multi-pole fuzzy pattern recognition evaluation method. The differences between bridges and grades are expressed by weighted generalized weight distance. To find the optimal relative membership degree of an evaluated bridge attributed to any grade, the operative principle is that the sum of the square of weighted generalized weight distance is minimum. Based on this principle, the problem of extreme value is established by the objective function in connection with constraint condition. Using the Lagrangean method, the multi-pole fuzzy pattern recognition evaluation method …
