Damage Monitoring Method for Deep-Sea Net Cage Rope Structure Based on Tension Signal by YANG Mengjie, REN Haojie, REN Hao, XU Yuwang, ZHANG Mengmeng

“…Based on the characteristics of these sudden tension changes and the influence of the damaged rope on the load of undamaged rope, three damage identification parameters are defined as the tension correlation coefficient, the total influence value, and the tension variation coefficient of the rope structure. Additionly, an online damage monitoring method based on rope tension signal is proposed. …”

Surface and Internal Waves due to a Moving Load on a Very Large Floating Structure by Taro Kakinuma, Kei Yamashita, Keisuke Nakayama

“…Interaction of surface/internal water waves with a floating platform is discussed with nonlinearity of fluid motion and flexibility of oscillating structure. The set of governing equations based on a variational principle is applied to a one- or two-layer fluid interacting with a horizontally very large and elastic thin plate floating on the water surface. …”

Thermomechanical Behaviors of a Novel Double-Layer Corrugated Core Structure for Thermal Protection System by Bin Li, Zixuan Hang, Ting Dai

“…Numerical results show that the orthogonal type has more excellent yield resistance at high temperature and large temperature gradient than the others, while the parallel type has a relatively stronger buckling resistance. In addition, the structural stiffness variation caused by temperature dependencies of material parameters is greater than that caused by thermal stress, which shows the significance of consideration of temperature-dependent material properties in structure vibration analysis.…”
