This paper presents a comprehensive investigation through model tests focusing on a single pile subjected to static and cyclic loading in medium-dense sands. The influence of installation method, diameter, cyclic load amplitude, and loading frequency on pile response was explored, particularly emphasizing the accumulation pattern of pile head settlement and the evolving laws governing pile shaft and end resistance. The findings illustrate that the radial stress at the pile shaft 400 mm away from the pile end increases to 3.27 times its initial stress after pile jacking. As pile diameter increases, the accumulative settlement rate decreases, highlighting the soil-squeezing effect on cyclic stability. Small cyclic loads gradually densify soil around the pile end, increasing pile end resistance, while larger cyclic loads rapidly reduce both pile end and shaft resistance. Under high-amplitude, low-frequency cyclic loading, the load-settlement hysteresis characteristics of model piles intensify, with the hysteresis loops moving more rapidly in the deformation direction.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8261,"journal":{"name":"Applied Ocean Research","volume":"156 ","pages":"Article 104493"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143526975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the global adoption of breakwaters as a primary coastal defence measure, it was observed that the structural integrity of several of these breakwaters was compromised during past tsunamis.

Further, this study introduces a novel technique in order to enhance the reliability of these structures by mitigating the tsunami induced failure mechanisms. In the novel technique, wrap-faced geogrids are implemented to reinforce the rubble mound without compromising the breakwater functionality in dissipating the incident wave energy through transmission. A comprehensive evaluation was carried out, including tsunami overflow tests, analytical assessments, and numerical simulations, to ascertain the effectiveness of the novel hybrid mound breakwater. The findings indicate that the developed hybrid mound breakwater withstood level 1 tsunamis with a 96.7 % reduction in settlement. One of the critical failure mechanism of breakwaters observed during past tsunamis was due to the seepage induced scouring of the foundation. The hybrid mound breakwater showcased a 42.37 % reduction in the foundation pore water pressure during tsunami by incorporating cut off walls. The numerical simulations also reconfirmed the enhanced performance of hybrid mound breakwater to protect the coasts from future tsunamis.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8261,"journal":{"name":"Applied Ocean Research","volume":"156 ","pages":"Article 104489"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143511524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bulbous-bottomed (BB) buoys are efficient in hydrodynamics and power absorption for point absorber wave energy converters (PA-WEC). Their experimental validation demands adaptable scaling algorithms to facilitate model-scale tests. This study utilizes a state-of-the-art theoretical algorithm by combining Froude scaling with an isomorphic buoy design approach, facilitating model-scale tests to investigate whether the BB buoys would equally be efficient compared to the reference hemispherical-bottomed (C<img>HS) buoy when deployed and tested experimentally under identical conditions. Additively manufactured scaled buoy models were tested in a laboratory-scale wave flume in both regular waves (inside and outside resonance) and irregular waves, followed by a similarity analysis for performance prediction on the prototype scale. A feasibility study was also established to justify the BB buoy application in real-time PA-WECs. The BB buoys outperformed the C<img>HS buoys within and without resonance in regular and irregular waves, justifying that they can replace them for good.

Consequently, direct excitation of one mode leads to indirect excitation of the other through nonlinear coupling, a complex phenomenon known as autoparametric interaction. This phenomenon is widely observed in (<em>i, j</em>) sloshing modes, where <em>i</em> ≠ <em>j</em>. However, the coupling of autoparametric interaction is stable only in the lowest mode, higher modes are found to be unstable. The experiment also reveals that when the natural frequencies of two modes are very close, applying external excitation at one natural frequency causes a shift in the dominant frequency towards the natural frequency of the other mode.

Recent advancements have enabled the application of deep reinforcement learning (DRL) in developing autonomous navigation artificial intelligence (AI). However, the decision-making process of AI is not transparent, and its potential for misjudgment could lead to severe accidents. Consequently, the explainability of DRL-based AI emerges as a critical hurdle in deploying autonomous collision avoidance systems. This study developed an explainable AI for ship collision avoidance. Initially, a critic network composed of sub-task critic networks was proposed to individually evaluate each sub-task to clarify the AI decision-making processes in collision avoidance. Additionally, an attempt was made to discern behavioral intentions through a Q-value analysis and an Attention mechanism. The former focused on interpreting intentions by examining the increment of the Q-value resulting from AI actions, while the latter incorporated the significance of other ships in the decision-making process for collision avoidance into the learning objective. AI's behavioral intentions in collision avoidance were visualized by combining the perceived increment of Q-value with the degree of attention to other ships. The proposed method was evaluated through a numerical experiment. The developed AI was confirmed to be able to safely avoid collisions under various congestion levels, and the decision-making process and behavioral intention of AI for collision avoidance were rendered comprehensible to humans.
