Abstract: This paper is based on some curved wide extra-dosed cable-stayed bridge, and the finite element software MIDAS/CIVIL is applied to set up three different system models of semi-floating system, pylon-girder consolidation system and rigid frame system according to the practice engineering background. Compared the internal forces and displacements in three systems under dead load, temperature load and live load, conclusions can be drawn as, the overall stiffness of rigid-frame system is the largest, its deformation is the least under dead load and live load, but it is sensitive to temperature load which can cause large second internal force. According to the overall structure performance of three different systems, it is better understanding their superiority to different application range, which can be a reference for designing in the future.

Abstract: By ANSYS finite element analysis we study the impact-span moment and deflection of high strength recycled concrete beam in state of initial cracking and yield with different water-cement ratio and recycled coarse aggregate replacement rate. The results showed that: 1With the increase of water-cement ratio and recycled coarse aggregate replacement rate, the deflection is on the rise. 2With the increase of recycled coarse aggregate replacement rate, the yield moment has a slight upward trend. And with the increase of water-cement ratio and recycled coarse aggregate replacement rate, the span deflection at the state of yield has a growing trend.

Abstract: Theoretical investigations on cnoidal waves interacting with breakwater resting on permeable elastic seabed are presented in this paper. Based on the shallow water reflected wave theory and Biot consolidation theory on wave-induced seepage pressure, the analytical solutions to first order cnoidal wave reflection and wave-induced seepage pressure are obtained by the eigenfunction expansion approach. Numerical results are presented to show the effects of depth of water, breakwater geometry on cnoidal wave-induced seepage uplift force and overturning moment. Compared with Airy wave theory, in certain shallow water conditions, the shallow water wave theory can more effectively illustrate wave nonlinearity effect in wave load prediction.

Abstract: In this study, the finite element software ANSYS was used to analyze the mechanical behavior of local sharp-notched circular tubes under cyclic bending. The local sharp-notched depths include: 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 mm, and the local sharp-notched directions include: 0, 30, 60 and 90 degrees. According to the experimental result, the notch depth has no influence on the moment-curvature relationship. But the notch depth increases, the unsymmetrical phenomenon of the ovalization-curvature relationship becomes more obvious and the speed of ovalization accelerates. In addition, the ovalization-curvature relationship becomes symmetrical when the direction angle increases. The ANSYS analysis was compared with the experimental finding. Although some differences between the experimental and simulated results, but both trends were very similar.

Abstract: Article deals with the design of module walking robot. When designing a walking robot construction is an important to choose correct structure of the body and legs. In practice, are mostly used constructions with the numbers of feet two, four and six. Selected variant was subsequently analyzed and optimized and was assigned appropriate material. Based on the measurements and the subsequent comparison of the results was designed suitable actuators for selected modes of motion.

Abstract: An electronic differential control system (EDS) has been designed based on a mini electric vehicle (EV) with dual in-wheel-motor rear drive. In view of imperfection of current strategy with speed and moment as control variables, a new control strategy for EDS in a two in-wheel-motor drive EV is proposed with the moment of driving wheel torque as control variable and the slip rate equilibrium of two driving wheels as control objective, considering the effects of axle load transfer. The differential control experiments are conducted with steering mode and straight acceleration mode based on the vehicle prototype. The results show that the control strategy is reasonable, and the controller can effectively realize EV electronic differential by coordinating the moment of two driving wheels.

Abstract: One of the eligibility brakes requirements that used by railway is the fulfillment of the prescribed limit of friction coefficien. Test performed to determination railway brake block friction coefficient using pin on disc test. This test convert brake force into normal force on load cell that could be replace by balance. But due to the existing gap between arm force and brake force, error could be happened. To minimalized this error, that gap had to be reduced. In this research, the gap was reduced from 4.5 cm to 1 cm. Data recording was modified from manual recording into automatic recording using LabView program. This modified was very usefull because recording data could be done easily.

Abstract: The far-flung ocean has abundant resource and the exploitation area of ocean oil and gas is developing from offshore to deepwater and ultra-deepwater following the increase demand for oil and gas resource. Therefore, one of the floating structures for deepwater exploitation is FPSO. The yaw of FPSO is more important problem to solve. This paper use Hydrostar to compute the RAOs, 1st-order and 2nd-order force of FPSO. A comprehensive review is introduced about the research on FPSO hydrodynamic in the world, including the coupling hydrodynamic analysis of deepwater FPSO with the mooring system. The results indicate that the FPSO’s 1st-order force and moment is a little large, however, the RAOs and 2nd-order force and moment are good. The FPSO with single point mooring system can control the displacement of FPSO effectively.

Abstract: A theoretical analyzing approach about a novel tuned mass damper system, on high-rise building, was derived according to Lagrange Equation. The solution was programmed with MTALAB software based on the Longe-Kuta method. Computation results show that the displacement, the velocity, and the moment of the highest point were significantly decreased with this system. The system will exhibit the best efficiency with he slip friction factor being 0.01, the spring coefficient 10000KN/m,the damping coefficient 100000 KN/m s and the tuned mass 1.0 times of the mass of per length of the structure.

Abstract: This paper proposes a new license plate image skew correction algorithm, which is based on the lowest pixels of a set of characters of the license plate. The skew angle is evaluated by applying moment calculation, and the method to get characters in license plate image is described in detail. It shows that the proposed algorithm is not only effective but also accurate.
