The concrete structure remedial assessements in marine environment from whole life asset management perspectives
This study makes use of a desk top review methodology to discover and understand the remedial assessment of damage concrete structures in the marine environment (sea water). Basically, the restorations of asset marine facility are done by using a correct and present repair technique to both spall concrete as well as corrode rebar and must follow the code and standards throughout construction periods. Specifically, the study undertook a comprehensive insight into the literature review
of three (3) major components of research, consisting of reinforced concrete of marine structure, understanding marine environment and management of rehabilitation marine facility. The research chooses a case study of an oil refinery jetty piles terminal at Marsden Point in New Zealand. The asset facility is poorly deteriorating due to aggressive action of marine environment and need attention. The asset owners are aim to establish potential maintenance strategies in restoration of his
asset facilities. The damaged marine structure will be looked at from whole life asset management perspectives; to identify various components of concrete structures that were subjected to steel corrosion and concrete deterioration. Application of whole life asset management paradigm in the case study will have significant impacts to the
facilities and the owner as well. The benefits with regard to implementation of whole life asset management approaches in managing the asset marine facility correlate with risk management, accountability, service facility management and financial efficiency. The refurbishment work will make use of current repair method in assessing the restoration of damage concrete piles. This should take account of a risk management study prior selection of best procurement routes for the case studies.
The case study is critically reviewed for options that suit the asset facility present condition and set up objectives to get the best approach adopted with regards to asset problem. The findings demonstrate that the adoption of the whole life asset management paradigm will promote the asset owner, to obtain best value for money concept from the investment and to gain benefits in terms of time, cost, quality and fit for purpose. It also help in promoting and prolong the asset lifespan and also to provide constant sustainable and economic service of asset facilities
Development of step-compliant system for turn-mill operations
Today with the latest technology the information beyond tool movement and
switching instruction such as tooling, manufacturing features and process sequences are
needed to support global adaptability for manufacturing with a specific focus on CNC-based
manufacture. This research focuses on the use of the new standard; ISO 14649 (STEP-NC),
to address the process planning and machining of discrete turn/mill components and proposes
a STEP Compliant NC structure for generation of ISO 14646 code which can be used for
turning component manufacture. The novel application of this work is STEP-NC compliant
process control where the research will utilise and extend the standard for in process
measurement at the machine and also explore the application and integration of the STEP-NC
standards. The major contribution of this research is the review of a computational
environment for a STEPNC compliant system for turn/mill operations by focusing the
outlines of the three major CAD/CAM frameworks to support the implementation of the
standard with various levels of STEP compliant architecture. Issues related to the
implementation of these frameworks and their use with STEP compliant NC controllers
provide a major change in the current day use of CAD, CAPP, CAM and CNC systems. This
change will bring new challenges to industrial users and software vendors to identify the new
boundaries and define intelligent CNC manufacture in the 21st century
Finite element formulation for free vibration of composite beams
Investigations concerning the dynamic response of composite beams with partial interaction are scarce. Derivation of the differential equations describing the interaction between composite elements normally involves with the solution of high order system of equations, which closed form solutions are difficult. This study concerns with the finite element formulation of composite beams for free vibration. The formulation involves with the establishment of the stiffness matrix and the mass matrix of the beam. The former was obtained through extremization of the total potential energy (or Hamilton principle for dynamic) whilst the latter was obtained by lumping the elements mass at nodes. Natural frequencies of the beam were obtained as eigenvalues. These were then verified by existing analytical solution
Path planning algorithm for a car like robot based on MILP method
This project is presents an algorithm for path planning optimal routes mobile robot
“like a car” to a target in unknown environment. The proposed algorithm allows a
mobile robot to navigate through static obstacles and finding the path in order to
reach the target without collision. This algorithm provides the robot the possibility to
move from the initial position to the final position (target). The proposed path
finding strategy is to use mathematical programming techniques to find the optimal
path between to state for mobile robot designed in unknown environment with
stationary obstacles. Formulation of the basic problems is to have the vehicle moved
from the initial dynamic state to a state without colliding with each other, while at
the same time avoiding other stationary obstacles. It is shown that this problem can
be rewritten as a linear program with mixed integer / linear constraints that account
for the collision avoidance. This approach is that the path optimization can be easily
solved using the CPLEX optimization software with AMPL interface / MATLAB.
The final phases are the design and build coalitions of linear programs and binary
constraints to avoid collision with obstacles by Integer Mixed Linear Program
(MILP). The findings of this research have shown that the MILP method can be used
in the path planning problem in terms of finding a safe and shortest path. This has
been combined with collision avoidance constraints to form a mixed integer linear
program, which can be solved by a commercial software package
The role of Zionist movement towards the creation of the state of Israel (Peranan pergerakan zionist terhadap pembentukan negara Israel)
The problem of Palestine has been a subject of much debate not only among scholars but also involved world superpowers as well. As this conflict rages on, there is a need to look at the root cause of the problem which one could argue that, among others, was caused by the ambitions of Zionist Movement. This paper examines the emergence of Zionist Movement and its role in establishing the State of Israel by confiscating Palestinians‟ territory and land. Zionist controls over the territory has resulted in the expulsion of Palestinians from their homeland. This study was conducted as a library research with textual analysis on the sources of Palestine historiography. The result shows that the Zionist Movement had lobbied the world superpowers, especially Britain and United States of America, until they supported the movement and resulting in the creation of the State of Israel on the Palestinian land
Sea surface temperature retrieval using TRMM microwave imager satellite data in the South China Sea
The passive microwave TRMM Microwave Imager (TMI) sensor which is one of the payloads of the Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM) satellite was launched in 1997 by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA). The TMI provides daily maps, 3 day average, weekly and monthly binary data via internet that can be used to retrieve geophysical parameters such as sea surface temperature (SST), 10 meter surface wind speed using 11 GHz channel, 10 meter surface wind speed using 37 GHz channel, atmospheric water vapour, liquid cloud water and precipitation rates. The SST study over the South China Sea was carried out using the 10.7 GHz channel of the TMI. The advantage of using this data is that the SST can be measured through clouds that are nearly transparent on this channel. This is a distinct advantage over the traditional infrared SST observations that require a cloud-free field of view. In this study, multitemporal TMI binary data were processed using FORTRAN Programming Language to evaluate the SST variations with time over the study area. The 3-day, weekly and monthly binary files are similar to the daily TMI binary files. All data consists of six maps with grid size of 0.25o by 0.25o and each file can be read as a 1440, 320, 6 array. For the data processing, the data values fall between 0 and 250 that need to be scaled to obtain meaningful geophysical data. The TMI scanning system causes striping that contains 0 or invalid data. In-situ temperature values were taken at locations where useful satellite data are available i.e. no striping. Regression analysis was carried out using the SST from TMI data and in-situ data obtained from the Meteorological Department of Malaysia. The two-dimensional scatter plot between TMI data and in-situ data gives a R2 value of 0.92 and RMSE of 0.3oC. The SST during the north east monsoon period was slightly lower than the SST during the south west monsoon. The study shows that TMI satellite data can be used to derive SST over large areas of the sea
Medical image classification and symptoms detection using neuro fuzzy
The conventional method in medicine for brain MR images classification and tumor detection is by human inspection. Operator-assisted classification methods are impractical for large amounts of data and are also non-reproducible. MR images also always contain a noise caused by operator performance which can lead to serious inaccuracies classification. The use of artificial intelligent techniques, for instance, neural networks, fuzzy logic, neuro fuzzy have shown great potential in this field. Hence, in this project the neuro fuzzy system or ANFIS was applied for classification and detection purposes. Decision making was performed in two stages: feature extraction using the principal component analysis (PCA) and the ANFIS trained with the backpropagation gradient descent method in combination with the least squares method. The performance of the ANFIS classifier was evaluated in terms of training performance and classification accuracies and the results confirmed that the proposed ANFIS classifier has potential in detecting the tumors
