Permeability is a vital parameter for the design and construction of structures involving ocean engineering. Based on the steady-state heat transfer theory and Darcy's law, a novel in-situ test method for permeability in saturated sandy porous media is introduced in this work. This approach aims to obtain permeability through the inversion of the m...

Due to the development of gas and oil exploration into the deep sea, the effective tensile capacity provided by armored steel wire will decrease rapidly with the increase of the weight of umbilical cables. In this paper, two designs of lightweight umbilical cables were studied in full consideration of the geometric characteristics, and the mechanic...

The safe and efficient operation of submarine high-voltage cables depends on their thermal performance. Based on the electromagnetic heat coupling and heat transfer theory, the cables’ heat dissipation in multi-layered sediments is simulated using FEM. The proposed models are validated by comparing with the results of IEC 60287 and illustrated the...

This paper carries out the transient behaviors of a thin rectangular plate considering different boundary conditions, Pasternak foundation, and thermal environment simultaneously. The governing differential equations of the system are derived by employing the Kirchhoff’s classical plate theory and Hamilton’s principle. This paper proposes a novel s...

In this paper, a 3D semi-analytical method is proposed by introducing the Durbin’s Laplace transform, as well as its numerical inversion method, state space approach and differential quadrature method to analyse the transient behaviour of functionally graded material cylindrical panels. Moreover, to investigate the effectiveness of the proposed sem...

The differential quadrature method has been developed to calculate the elastic band gaps from the Bragg reflection mechanism in periodic structures efficiently and accurately. However, there have been no reports that this method has been successfully used to calculate the band gaps of locally resonant structures. This is because, in the process of...

Nowadays, intelligent piezoelectric materials are widely used in transducer devices and aerospace structures. To investigate the dynamic behaviour of a functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM) cylindrical panel, a semi-analytical approach by introducing the Laplace transform, differential quadrature method, state space approach and Durbin’...

By assembling the square lattice arrays of “+” shaped steel rods, an underwater acoustic composite lens consisting of a convex lens and a slab lens is proposed to achieve the convergence of underwater acoustic waves. In order to study the focusing ability, numerical simulations and experiments in a silencing pool are carried out among a range of fr...
