This article describes distributions of stresses and strains created by pressing a ball with 80 HRC hardness into soft 35HRC steel, which occurs in the technological process of burnishing. We present a computer model and a solution developed with the Nastran FX program, based on the finite elements method. The validity of the model has been checked using a small force applied on the ball, within the...
During winter in arctic seas, navigation of ships near ports occurs within ice channels created and maintained by icebreakers. Small ice floes fill the relatively narrow navigable channel, and ships are forced to produce the overtaking or opposing separation over short distances and under the action of ice floes. This paper presents an analytical model of the interaction of ships under the conditions...
The paper introduces the process of safe ship control in collision situations using a differential game model with m participants. The basic model of process includes non-linear state equations and non-linear, time-varying constraints of the state variables as well as the quality game control index in the forms of game integral payment and final payment. As an approximated model of the manoeuvring...
This paper describes an application of the dynamic programming method to determine the safety of one’s own ship trajectory during encounter of other ships. A dynamic model of the process, with kinematic constraints of state and determined by a three-layer artificial neural network has been used for the development of control procedures. Non-linear activation functions in the first and second layers...
The paper presents the application of cost-based, component-importance measures for complex technical systems. A stern tube sealing system installed on a sea vessel was used as an example of a complex technical system. Selected statistics of a ship’s operation losses were calculated. Selected, known-importance measures were presented and the authors’ own approach to cost-based, component-importance...
