The conical shells are composed of two parts, matrix and reinforcement. Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) employed as the matrix and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) considered as reinforcement, with mechanical properties that are influenced by ambient temperature. Considering the rule of mixtures (RoM), the tantamount mechanical characteristics of these smart composite materials (SCM) are determined, leading to the development of a comprehensive mathematical model. The First-Order Shear Deformation Theory (FSDT) and Donnell's approach are applied to establish the relationship between forces and strains. Subsequently, Hamilton's principal is used to derive governing deferential equations (GDEs) of NDCSs and TCS. The GDEs are solved through a numerical approach, called Generalized Differential Quadrature Method (GDQM). This research incorporates the boundary conditions (BCs) through the implementation of arbitrary constraints, allowing for an in-depth examination of the relationship between boundary stiffness and the natural frequency parameters (NFP) of NDCSs. The findings reveal that the NFP depend considerably on the distribution and volume of nanofillers, as well as the orientation of nanofillers under different thermal conditions. Numerical analyses show that as the temperature increases, the NFP decreases. Additionally, the results highlight that the highest NFP occur at specific reinforcer orientations, such as 60°, 120°, 240°, and 300° for the first mode, while 90° and 270° yield peak values for higher modes. The analysis reveals unique vibrational phenomena specific to the NDCSs structure, including the significant role of middle tier springs' stiffness, which governs the NFP behavior within a specific stiffness range.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8261,"journal":{"name":"Applied Ocean Research","volume":"154 ","pages":"Article 104425"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143166410","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}

The objectives of this paper are to investigate the sound generation mechanism of cavitation noise and explore the noise reduction mechanism for the leading-edge protuberances. The large eddy simulation (LES) and the Zwart cavitation model were used to predict the unsteady cavitating flow around the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) 0012 baseline hydrofoil and the modified hydrofoil with the leading-edge protuberances. The load noise was predicted using the Ffowcs Williams–Hawkings (FW-H) acoustic simulation method from the flow field results, while the cavitation noise was calculated using the Sound radiation theory for spherical cavity. The noise reduction characteristics were analyzed in combination with the evolution characteristics of cavities and vortices. The leading-edge protuberances prevent the formation of large-scale shedding vortices, significantly reducing the pressure fluctuation amplitude on the suction surface of the hydrofoil. The flow instability and cavity collapse become the major sources of noise when cavitation occurs. Cavitation not only leads to an increase in radiated noise but also affects the characteristic frequency of noise. The modified hydrofoil effectively suppresses the formation and development of cavities, reducing cavitation instability. The modified hydrofoil can effectively reduce monophonic noise in low-frequency bands, resulting in a reduction of approximately 10.5 dB in peak monophonic noise. The high-frequency broadband noise between 300 and 500 Hz is reduced by approximately 7.58 dB. This research provides a reference for noise reduction optimization of hydraulic machinery.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8261,"journal":{"name":"Applied Ocean Research","volume":"154 ","pages":"Article 104361"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143166909","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}

This study investigates the mechanical behavior of polar-grade EH36 shipbuilding steel across a temperature range from -40 °C to 20 °C and strain rates from 0.00037/s to 5000/s, introducing an innovative approach for accurately predicting stress under these conditions. Comprehensive experimental data were obtained through a combination of quasi-static, low strain rate tensile tests, and high strain rate Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar tests. A stress prediction model was developed by integrating adaptive genetic algorithms and simulated annealing to optimize basis functions, enabling precise predictions across a wide spectrum of temperatures and strain rates. Model validation results demonstrate that the prediction error remains within 6 % under moderate strain rates from 1/s to 200/s, highlighting the model's high accuracy and broad applicability. This model not only overcomes the limitations of traditional experimental and interpolation methods but also provides essential data for the design and material selection of polar icebreaking ships, offering an efficient tool for engineers in extreme environments.

The lower passive earth pressure is crucial when the backward rotation occurs. When the MSC mainly moves horizontally, the soil in front of the MSC is entirely aroused. For the MSC mainly translates vertically, the passive suction is an important part of the bearing capacity.

In addition, the inclined loading rate shows a significant impact on the inclined bearing behavior.
