Key Navigation Safety Factors In Taiwanese Harbors And Surrounding Waters, Chien-Chang Chou, Yuh-Ling Su, Ren-Fu Li, Chaur-Luh Tsai, Ji-Feng Ding
Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan
This study investigated navigation safety in Taiwanese harbors and surrounding waters. The key factors that influence navigation safety were summarized by reviewing relevant literature and by interviewing experts. A questionnaire survey was used to assess the degree of importance of these different factors, including human, vessel, harbor traffic, and climatic and environmental factors. A factor analysis was used to design a systematic hierarchical structure for clustering these factors. This study suggests that duty officers can prevent maritime incidents from occurring by taking precautions against the various key factors identified here.

Short Term Strategies For Solving A Variant Of Period Vehicle Routing Problem, Hsiu-Li Hsu, Ching-Wu Chu, Chao-Sheng Wu
Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan
A company faces a variant of Period Vehicle Routing Problem (PVRP). Because of seasonal fluctuation in demand, the company outsources delivery to avoid maintaining excess vehicles or facing vehicle shortages. Customer orders can be classified into two groups, those that must be satisfied within two days, and those that must be fulfilled within three days. Currently, the company satisfies most orders the next day based on experience rather than any formal system. The objective of the studied company is to satisfy all received orders and minimize monthly transportation costs. This study proposes two short term strategies for the studied company. …
The Design Of A Hull Form With The Minimum Total Resistance, Bao-Ji Zhang, Ai-Qin Miao
The Design Of A Hull Form With The Minimum Total Resistance, Bao-Ji Zhang, Ai-Qin Miao
Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan
In order to obtain a hull form which exhibits low resistance and highly-efficient energy-saving performance, the overall resistance should be calculated as the sum of wave-making and viscous resistance, in which the total resistance corresponds to the objective function whereas the hull geometry parameters correspond to design variables. Apart from considering the limited conditions due to appropriate displacement, we further ponder over the boundary-layer viscous separation caused by additional constraints. We then proceed to apply the Nonlinear Programming Method (NLP) to determine the hull form with the minimum total resistance. This paper aims to optimize the streamlined design of the …

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan
The adoption of a direct forcing immersed boundary numerical method on the uniform flow, at a moderate Reynolds number of 100, past a pair of two rotating circular cylinders placed side-by-side, is the core of the present study. A simplified yet novel approach is used to impose a virtual force as a source to the full incompressible two-dimensional NavierStokes equations, which are discretized by the finite volume method. The usage of a Cartesian grid that ensures minimal computational cost, is the salient feature of the applied immersed boundary approach. The gap between the two cylinders, and their rotational direction and …

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan
Ion transport through a hydrated cement system often becomes a principal factor to degrade concrete in a chlorideladen environments. Based on the transport mechanism of chloride ion, an analytical solution of mathematical model for predicting chloride penetration into concrete structures was herein derived. The model consists of both the diffusion of chloride due to concentration gradient and the convection of chloride due to moisture transport. The model also depends on temperature, age, relative humidity, and chloride binding. Based on both the diffusion coefficient and the mean velocity with time/depth dependence, an analytical solution of the mathematical model developed by previous …

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan
To determine the breakage behavior of soil particles on a sliding surface, which is subjected to high overburden stress, modified direct shear tests were conducted on silty sand collected from Kaohsiung City, Taiwan. The sliding surfaces of the soil was simulated using different shear gaps of the shear box in the tests. The behavior of the particle breakage and strength properties of the sand were investigated. The results indicated that finer soil particles exhibited a lower breakage potential and breakage amount of sand particles, whereas a higher void ratio tended to lead to a higher breakage potential and breakage amount. …

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan
The main purpose of this paper is to empirically study the selection for developing multimodal logistic mode (M-LM) locations in Taiwan using the quantitative and qualitative multicriteria decision-making approach. Multinational corporations in the logistics arena were surveyed to collect factors and the priorities for location development for each type of M-LM using the fuzzy multiple criteria Q-analysis (MCQA) approach. It is suggested that each location has different competitive elements that support different types of M-LM. The findings show proposed locations for developing M-LM in Taiwan.

A Sequential Multiple Packet Transmission Policy For Model-Based Networked Control Systems, Sheng-Hsiung Yang, Jenq-Lang Wu
A Sequential Multiple Packet Transmission Policy For Model-Based Networked Control Systems, Sheng-Hsiung Yang, Jenq-Lang Wu
Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan
This paper considers the stabilization of discrete-time modelbased networked control systems under a sequential multiple packet transmission policy. The dynamics of considered modelbased sequential multiple packet transmission NCSs are modeled as switched control systems. A sufficient condition for the existence of stabilizing controllers is derived by the switched Lyapunov function approach. Stabilizing networked feedback controllers can be obtained by solving linear matrix inequalities and equalities. A numerical example is proposed for verification.

The Design Of Low Noise Amplifiers In Deep Submicron Cmos Processes: A Convex Optimization Approach, David H.K. Hoe, Xiaoyu Jin
Electrical Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations
With continued process scaling, CMOS has become a viable technology for the design of high-performance low noise amplifiers (LNAs) in the radio frequency (RF) regime. This paper describes the design of RF LNAs using a geometric programming (GP) optimization method. An important challenge for RF LNAs designed at nanometer scale geometries is the excess thermal noise observed in the MOSFETs. An extensive survey of analytical models and experimental results reported in the literature is carried out to quantify the issue of excessive thermal noise for short-channel MOSFETs. Short channel effects such as channel-length modulation and velocity saturation effects are also …

Daugherty Water for Food Global Institute: Faculty Publications
Jordan faces great internal water scarcity and pollution, conflict over trans-boundary waters, and strong dependency on external water resources through trade. This paper analyzes these issues and subsequently reviews options to reduce the risk of extreme water scarcity and dependency. Based on estimates of water footprint, water availability, and virtual water trade, we find that groundwater consumption is nearly double the groundwater availability, water pollution aggravates blue water scarcity, and Jordan’s external virtual water import dependency is 86%. The review of response options yields 10 ingredients for a strategy for Jordan to mitigate the risks of extreme water scarcity and …

Design Of Shape Morphing Structures Using Bistable Elements, Ahmad Alqasimi
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation presents new concepts and methodology in designing shape-morphing structures using bistable elements. Developed using the Pseudo-Rigid-Body Model (PRBM), linear bistable compliant mechanism elements produce predictable and controllable length changes. Step-by-step design procedures are developed to guide the design process of these bistable elements. Two different examples of Shape-Morphing Space Frames (SMSFs) were designed and prototyped utilizing the bistable linear elements in a single-layer grid, in addition to flexures and rigid links, to morph a cylindrical space frame into both a hyperbolic and a spherical space frame. Moreover, bistable unit-cell compliant-mechanism elements were also developed to morph a compact …
