Semi-Active Vibration Control For Offshore Platforms Based On Lqg Method, Shu-Qing Wang, Ning Li
Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan
The objective of this paper is to mitigate the wave-induced vibration of offshore platform with magneto-rheological (MR) damper. The model of the platform coupled with MR damper is established where the external wave force is approximated with a white noise via a designed filter. Based on Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) method, the optimal control force is determined when taking the measurement noise into account. Semi-active control algorithm is applied to generate the MR damping force by comparing with the optimal control force. Numerical example demonstrates that the semi-active control strategy based on LQG method can reduce the responses of the …

Numerical Stability Analysis For Independent Modal Vibration Suppression Of A Fluid-Conveying Pipe Using A Piezoelectric Inertia Actuator, Yih-Hwang Lin, Jui-Lung Chen, Chih-Liang Chu, Yau-Kun Tsai
Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan
This study deals with numerical stability analysis for independent modal vibration suppression of a fluid-conveying pipe using a piezoelectric inertia actuator (PIA). The stability issue of the approach as proposed by the pioneer developers is addressed. The approach utilizes an infinite control weight for one component of the modal control input and results in a severe control spillover problem for the complex mode controlled, easily leading to closed loop instability even for open loop stable systems. The stability of the system depends on how the left eigenvector is normalized for transforming the original coupled equations to the decoupled ones in …

A Creative Differential Evolution Algorithm For Global Optimization Problems, Hsin-Chuan Kuo, Ching-Hai Lin, Jeun-Len Wu
Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan
Under the framework of the differential evolution algorithm, we develop a creative algorithm by extrapolating the thinking of the garbage can model. The developed algorithm is hence named in the study as a creative differential evolution algorithm (CDE). To verify the performance of the CDE, we selected seven well-known benchmark functions; three of them are uni-modal and four multi-modal. In conducting the numerical experiment, we adopted two different numbers of dimensions for each test function, which is 50 and 100. The results show that CDE can find the global optimum robustly, demonstrate that CDE significantly improves the DE’s performance.

Scale Effects In Scour Physical-Model Tests: Cause And Alleviation, Yu-Hai Wang, Wei-Guo Jiang, Yan-Hong Wang
Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan
Scale effect occurs when a prototype hydraulic process is simulated at a laboratory scale due to dissatisfaction of similarity laws. It might lead to considerable deviation when the model scour depth is extrapolated to prototype value. Three popular experimental approaches including predictionequation-targeted flume test, series-model test and similitude-model test are reviewed with emphasis upon their merits and limitations in reducing or alleviating scale effects. Scale laws guiding scour physical-model design are discussed for performing cost-effective model tests. An empirical equation is further derived from data of clear-water pier scour experiments to examine the test results in up-scale extrapolating. It is …

On The Stabilization Of A Class Of Uncertain Systems With Time-Varying Delay Via Vsc Approach, Wen-Jeng Liu
On The Stabilization Of A Class Of Uncertain Systems With Time-Varying Delay Via Vsc Approach, Wen-Jeng Liu
Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan
In this paper, the robust stabilization problem for a class of time-delayed multi-input systems with matched and unmatched uncertainties is considered. Here, all the matched uncertainties, unmatched uncertainties and the delay term may be time-varying. Variable structure control (VSC) is suggested to design stabilizing controllers for these uncertain time-delayed multi-input systems. The proposed controllers guarantee the global reaching condition of the sliding mode in these uncertain time-delayed multi-input systems. Further, they ensure that the system trajectories asymptotically converge to the sliding mode. In the sliding mode, the investigated time-delayed systems with matched and unmatched uncertainties still possess the insensitivity to …

Liner Sailing Speed Optimization Considering Wind And Waves, Zhaokun Wei, Xinlian Xie, Tiantian Bao
Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan
This paper proposes a new sailing speed optimization problem considering sea conditions such as wind and waves for a container shipping company. Since wind and waves, as exterior factors, can reduce speed, more power is employed as compensation to maintain regular service frequency and avoid delay, resulting in additional bunker consumption and higher cost. Hence, it is necessary to optimize the sailing speed according to the wind and waves. A power model was built to determine the reduced speed caused by the wind and waves for quantifying the speed reduction. On the basis of the proposed model, we developed a …

The proposed solution framework considers an empty container matching platform company and a group of shipping lines in a given shipping network. Because of the interactive relationship between the two parties, the proposed problem is formulated as a bilevel programming problem, and …
Investigating Model Solution Correctness For Parameter Uncertainty In Both Objective Function And Constraints, Shangyao Yan, Sin-Siang Wang, Chun-Yi Wang
Investigating Model Solution Correctness For Parameter Uncertainty In Both Objective Function And Constraints, Shangyao Yan, Sin-Siang Wang, Chun-Yi Wang
Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan
To resolve engineering management problems encountered in the real world, optimization models are usually formulated with some parameter assumptions. Parameter uncertainty, which may arise due to changes in the environment or human error, may thus be incorporated into the objective function and the constraints. However, to simplify the modeling, the values of these parameters are usually set or projected as deterministic values. It is no wonder that the modelling results based on these inaccurate parameters are neither correct nor reliable. Thus, it is important to examine the correctness of the model results in relation to parameter uncertainty. This study aims …

Free Vibration Analysis Of A Free-Free Single-Tapered Beam Carrying Arbitrary Concentrated Elements Using Modified Mode-Superposition Method (Mmsm), Chia-Chin Wu
Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan
The literature contains scant information on the free vibration analyses of the loaded single-tapered beams (STBs) (i.e., STBs carrying concentrated elements (CEs)) Furthermore, even when such studies have been performed, they generally only consider the case of constrained (e.g., free-clamped (F-C)) beams. In other words, the problem of unconstrained (e.g., free-free (F-F)) loaded STBs has not yet to be addressed. Thus, the present study employs the modified mode-superposition method (MMSM) to investigate the free vibration characteristics of the F-F loaded STB carrying arbitrary various CEs. The investigation focuses particularly on the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the rigid-body motions …

Optimum Design Of The Underwater Discharge System Based On Surrogate Modeling, Jisang Ha, Myung-Il Roh, Seung-Ho Ham, Sung-Jun Lee
Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan
Underwater vehicles are equipped with a device for discharging projectiles, called the underwater discharge system. Because these vehicles have limited space, many studies have attempted to reduce the volume of the underwater discharge system while improving its performance. However, owing to the characteristics of the system, the occupied volume and performance conflict with each other. Therefore, minimizing the occupied volume while satisfying the required performance criteria is the most significant requirement in the design stage. To address this, an optimization problem for the underwater discharge system was mathematically formulated and solved using multi-objective genetic algorithms. Additionally, we proposed a method …

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan
Sightseeing and tourism not only brings economic benefits to the local community but also drive the development of related industries. In 1992, when the Matsu’s battlefield mission was dissolved, tourism became one of the key development strategies to boom the region. Although the number of visitors to Matsu Islands has risen significantly in recent years, how to increase the island’s willingness to revisit the island has been an important issue. Since local tourism has its own characteristics, island tourism marketing strategies should be different. Many previous studies have quantified the relationship between tourism area satisfaction and willingness to revisit, but …

Sea Ice Warning Visualization And Path Planning For Ice Navigation Based On Radar Image Recognition, Tsung-Hsuan Hsieh, Shengzheng Wang, Huijia Gong, Wei Liu, Ning Xu
Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan
Ice navigation is currently one of the important issues in path planning studies. Most studies are using sea ice models or ice charts for large-scale path planning, but the weather and ice conditions in the polar waters usually change quickly and are not easy to predict. Under these conditions, small-scale path planning that can be adjusted in time for sea ice collision avoidance is needed. This study uses marine radar imaging to reconstruct the ice navigation scene, and establishes a visual-ization function of sea ice warning on the radar image. We combine the bidirectional rapidly-exploring random tree (B-RRT) algorithm and …

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan
In the northwest Pacific Ocean, off the Sanriku coast of Japan, convergence between the Tsugaru Warm Current (TWC) and the cold Oyashio Current (OC) results in the formation of highly dynamic oceanographic features that promote high biodiversity and generate hotspots for a range of commercially important fisheries. However, their effects on local biodiversity over much smaller spatiotemporal scales ( < 1 km) remains unclear. With the development of acoustic technology in recent years, echo-sounders are increasingly being used to conduct high-precision fishery resource assessments and detect small-scale variability in the oceanic thermohaline structure. In this study, we conducted a simultaneous hydrographic and dual-frequency echo-sounder survey to discriminate oceanographic features and marine organisms in the TWC-OC confluence zone. Echograms of acoustic backscatter measured at 38 kHz detected similar oceanographic features that were obtained from our hydrographic survey observations, but these features were less pronounced in the 120 kHz echograms. The dynamic oceanographic structure in the TWC-OC zone returned a large amount of backscatter, making it difficult to identify marine organisms from the scatter. The frequency differences of volume backscattering strength (SV) were, however, able to distinguish oceanographic structures from zooplankton detections. Outcomes from this study highlight the difficulty of distinguishing between hydrographic and biological detections in dynamic oceanographic environments. Further research into the acoustic frequency characteristics of heterogeneous hydrographic features will help better understand how species distributions are affected, so that the acoustic method can be used to provide more accurate estimates of species abundance.

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan
Skipjack tuna are globally distributed in tropical and temperate seas but little is known about their fine-scale diving patterns and how fish size and (or) maturity influences patterns off eastern Taiwan. A total of 211 immature skipjack (36 e 47 FL cm) in the study were caught by trolling near subsurface fish aggregating devices (FADs) near Green Island (southeastern Taiwan) and were tagged with Lotek LAT-2910 archival tags. The low rate of recovery (2.4%) suggests a high post-release mortality but this low rate could also be consistent with large population sizes, dispersal, tag loss or uncooperative fishers. Five individuals were …
