It is found that with the increase of cutting depth, the load fluctuation is more severe, the breaking yield is increased, the size of the chip is increased, the powdered percentage is decreased, and the externally expanded breaking zone of rock is wider. However, the cutting depth has little effect on the cutting angle, and the breaking angle is between 48° and 61° With the increase in cutting velocity, the number of load fluctuations per unit of time increases significantly, and the size of the chip decreases.

We proposes a multi-layer cooperative control algorithm for the multi-tugboat system, including tugboat control level and cooperative control level. At the individual tugboat control level, the dynamic positioning system (DPS) has been enhanced to match the operational behavior of the tugboat, enabling it to handle cable tension and environmental disturbances during transit. The controller incorporates a simple yet effective linear active disturbance rejection control method (ADRC) to counter external disturbances and ensure accurate trajectory tracking without relying on preset models. Moving to the multi-tugboat collaboration level, two distinct control strategies are proposed for towing operations: formation-based (FB) and force-allocation-based (FAB). The FB strategy involves multiple tugboats forming a coordinated formation, with control focused on the formation center to indirectly manipulate the object. On the other hand, the FAB strategy utilizes model predictive control (MPC) for the object to allocate the necessary towing force for each cable, thereby determining the required actions for each tugboat based on the cable model and the needed towing force. Simulation results demonstrate that both control strategies can effectively maneuver the floating object with high accuracy to perform positioning and towing tasks. Nevertheless, due to the variations in their fundamental mechanisms, there are significant discrepancies in towline tension, tugboat utilization, and energy consumption.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48514,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ocean Engineering and Science","volume":"10 5","pages":"Pages 692-704"},"PeriodicalIF":11.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145046740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Besides, 3D element can also facilitate the introduction of influencing factors into the ULS analysis, such as the erosions, cracks and residual stress. This may improve the simulation precision of ULS analysis of thick plate models. Until now, there is a lack of 3D element modelling technique in the ULS analysis of flat/stiffened plates. The present study aims to provide helpful information on 3D elements in the ULS analysis of flat plates under axial compression load.

It is found that the element shape significantly influences the ULS analysis of flat plates, where planar-like 3D element is not recommended.

Simulation results indicate that both excessively small and large sample intervals can significantly compromise predictions of motion, location, and heading angles. Moreover, to enhance the evaluation of the deep learning-based nonparametric model, incorporating a test case with a minimal rudder angle is crucial for assessing the prediction precision.
