But traditional identification methods suffer from observation measurement noise and operating restrictions of ISPs. To address this issue, a novel identification method based on current command design and multilevel coordinate search (MCS) algorithm without any higher order measurement differentiations was proposed. The designed current commands were adopted to obtain parameter decoupled models with the platform operating under allowable conditions. MCS algorithm was employed to estimate the parameters based on parameter decoupled models. A comparison experiment between the proposed method and non-linear least square method was carried out and most of the relative errors of identified parameters obtained by the proposed method were below 10%. Simulation and experiment based on identified parameters were conducted. A velocity control structure was also developed with disturbance observer (DOB) for application in disturbance compensation control system of an ISR Experimental results show that the control scheme based on the identified parameters with DOB has the best disturbance rejection performance. It reduces the peak to peak value (PPV) of velocity error integral to 0.8 mrad which is much smaller than the value (10 mrad) obtained by the single velocity controller without DOB. Compared with the control scheme based on sweep model with DOB compensation, the proposed control scheme improves the PPV of velocity error integral by 1.625 times.展开更多

摘要This study investigates the seismic response mitigation of an offshore jacket platform via a novel damping system,the bidirectional tuned liquid column gas damper(BTLCGD).To efficiently model the complex platform structure,an equivalent single degree of freedom approach was employed.Since the mass contribution of the first mode of the platform is more than 90%,this simplification significantly reduces the computational burden while maintaining accuracy.Therefore,this structure was modeled and analyzed on a scale of 1 to 36 using the Froudian law.To address the limitations of conventional tuned liquid column gas dampers(TLCGDs),which are susceptible to the directionality of seismic excitations,BTLCGD was proposed.This innovative damper is designed to operate effectively in two orthogonal directions,thereby improving seismic performance.Through numerical simulations,the performance of both TLCGD and BTLCGD was evaluated under seismic loading.The results demonstrated that BTLCGD significantly outperforms TLCGD in terms of reducing structural responses,particularly in the direction where TLCGD is ineffective.Furthermore,BTLCGD offers advantages in terms of installation and space requirements.The results of this research offer valuable perspectives into the design and implementation of effective damping systems for offshore structures,contributing to enhanced structural integrity and safety.

摘要The paper presents an innovative approach to studying the reuse of a decommissioned natural gas production platformfor the seasonal storage and extraction of a hydrogen-methane(H2-CH4)mixture froma depleted reservoir.The reuse plan involves removing outdated equipment from the platform’s decks while retaining essential components such as wellheads and separators.Exploiting a depleted reservoir for the injection of an H2-CH4 mixture requires a thorough understanding of its specific characteristics.This paper focuses on the engineering approach adopted in the basic design phase for such a conversion,providing recommendations and HSE guidelines.Given the hazardous nature of substances like hydrogen in the gas mixture,the paper also examines potential risk scenarios,particularly those involving containment loss.A qualitative and quantitative assessment of these risks is conducted to evaluate their impact on the structure and equipment.The results of this assessment serve as a foundation for later studies on layout optimization and domino effect prevention.Additionally,some critical scenarios are simulated using an innovative approach known as the Source Box Accident Model(SBAM),which was proposed in previous works.SBAM leverages Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD)but decouples the accidental phenomenon into a release phase and a dispersion phase.This method overcomes the challenges conventional CFD tools face in assessing congested plant configurations,providing more precise estimations of gas cloud behavior.The simulation results indicate that the released gas remains within the platform deck domain,and the flammable cloud is significantly smaller than what traditional,simplified tools predict.

摘要In recent years,gig economy jobs-particularly those of food delivery and ride-hailing drivers-have rapidly emerged as a significant force in the labor market,reflecting the deep integration of China’s digital and real economies.This paper examines how digital platforms that support the gig economy exercise directionality and dominance in labor matching,where the platform dictates which consumers workers serve,rather than allowing independent choice.While this platform-led matching may appear to limit consumer and worker autonomy,it actually arises from the platform’s central role in information flow and its technological capabilities,serving as a foundation for the platform’s ability to create large-scale employment through cross-side network effects.Using a theoretical model that integrates digital platforms,labor markets,and product markets,the paper explores how the efficiency of targeted matching affects employment creation.In the early stages of gig economy development,when targeted matching efficiency is low,improvements in assignment efficiency lead to a net increase in gig employment,worker income,and overall social welfare.However,in the later stages,as targeted matching efficiency improves,the potential for monopoly abuse by incumbent platforms may trigger a crowding-out effect,leading to unemployment,income inequality between platforms and workers,and higher commission fees.While fostering competition within platform markets offers benefits,policymakers should avoid excessively low entry barriers,as these can negatively impact incumbent platforms’decisions regarding labor,pricing,and technology investment.

摘要To overcome the influence of the nonlinear friction on the gimbaled servo-system of an inertial stabilized platforms(ISPs)with DC motor direct-drive,the methods of modeling and compensation of the nonlinear friction are proposed.Firstly,the inapplicability of LuGre model when trying to interpret the backward angular displacement in the prestiction regime is observed experimentally and the reason is deduced theoretically.Then,based on the dynamic model of direct-drive ISPs,a modified LuGre model is proposed to describe the characteristic of the friction in the prestiction regime.Furthermore,the state switch condition of the three friction regimes including presliding,gross sliding and prestiction is presented.Finally,a composite compensation controller including a nonlinear friction observer and a feedforward compensator based on the novel LuGre model is designed to restrain the nonlinear friction and to improve the control precision.Experimental results indicate that compared with those of the conventional proportion-integrationdifferentiation(PID)control method and the PID plus LuGre model-based friction compensation method,the dwell-time has decreased from 0.2 s to almost 0 s,the position error decreased to 86.7%and the peak-to-peak value of position error decreased to 80%after the novel compensation controller is added.It concludes that the composite compensation controller can greatly improve the control precision of the dynamic sealed ISPs.
摘要Steel jacket-type platforms are the common kind of the offshore structures and health monitoring is an important issue in their safety assessment.In the present study,a new damage detection method is adopted for this kind of structures and inspected experimentally by use of a laboratory model.The method is investigated for developing the robust damage detection technique which is less sensitive to both measurement and analytical model uncertainties.For this purpose,incorporation of the artificial immune system with weighted attributes(AISWA)method into finite element(FE)model updating is proposed and compared with other methods for exploring its effectiveness in damage identification.Based on mimicking immune recognition,noise simulation and attributes weighting,the method offers important advantages and has high success rates.Therefore,it is proposed as a suitable method for the detection of the failures in the large civil engineering structures with complicated structural geometry,such as the considered case study.

摘要Based on regional geology,2D seismic and ocean drilling data,the formation of the Eratosthenes Seamount(ESM)and its surrounding isolated platforms,types of organic reefs and hydrocarbon accumulation conditions in the eastern Mediterranean were analyzed through fine tectonic interpretation and seismic facies study,and the future exploration targets were pointed out.The formation and evolution of the ESM and its peripheral isolated platforms are highly related to the open and close of the Neotethyan ocean.The precursors of the ESM and its peripheral isolated platforms are both horst-type fault blocks formed in the Middle Triassic-Early Jurassic intracontinental rift stage.The ESM and its peripheral isolated platforms underwent continued and inherited carbonate build-ups during the Middle Jurassic intercontinental rift stage,the Late Jurassic-Late Cretaceous Turonian passive drift stage,and Late Cretaceous Senonian-Miocene subduction stage,as well as medium-slight inversion transformation beginning in the Late Miocene Messinian caused by the closure of the Neotethyan ocean.Three types of isolated platforms formed controlled by variant paleo-tectonic settings:the first type is composed of a single patch-like reef controlled by a small-scale and narrow horst-type fault block,the second type consists of a single atoll controlled by a middle-scale and wide horst-type fault block,and the third type is comprised of multiple reef-beach complexes controlled by a large-scale and broad paleo-high.The first two types universally developed in the highs of the alternate sag-uplift structural zones on the south and west of Eratosthenes,and the third type only developed in the ESM.As a result of fluctuation of sea level,two sequences of reef build-ups,i.e.the Middle Jurassic Bajocian-Upper Cretaceous Turonian and the Miocene,developed in the ESM as well as the highs in the alternate sag-uplift structural zones on the south and west of Eratosthenes.Drillings have confirmed that the first two types of isolated platforms with a single patch-like reef and a single circle-like reef have good conditions for natural gas accumulations.The isolated platform of reef-beach complexes in the ESM also has accumulation potentials of natural gas and is worth prospecting.

摘要Accurate parameter identification is essential when designing controllers for inertially stabilized platforms (lSPs). But traditional identification methods suffer from observation measurement noise and operating restrictions of ISPs. To address this issue, a novel identification method based on current command design and multilevel coordinate search (MCS) algorithm without any higher order measurement differentiations was proposed. The designed current commands were adopted to obtain parameter decoupled models with the platform operating under allowable conditions. MCS algorithm was employed to estimate the parameters based on parameter decoupled models. A comparison experiment between the proposed method and non-linear least square method was carried out and most of the relative errors of identified parameters obtained by the proposed method were below 10%. Simulation and experiment based on identified parameters were conducted. A velocity control structure was also developed with disturbance observer (DOB) for application in disturbance compensation control system of an ISR Experimental results show that the control scheme based on the identified parameters with DOB has the best disturbance rejection performance. It reduces the peak to peak value (PPV) of velocity error integral to 0.8 mrad which is much smaller than the value (10 mrad) obtained by the single velocity controller without DOB. Compared with the control scheme based on sweep model with DOB compensation, the proposed control scheme improves the PPV of velocity error integral by 1.625 times.
