Tension Leg Platform (TLP) is a floating structure that consists of four columns with large diameter. The diffraction theory is used to calculate the wave force of floating structures with large dimensions (TLP). In this study, the diffraction and Froude-Krylov wave forces of TLP for surge, sway and heave motions and wave force moment for roll, pitch degrees of freedom in different wave periods and three wave approach angles have been investigated. From the numerical results, it can be concluded that the wave force for different wave approach angle is different. There are some humps and hollows in the curve of wave forces and moment in different wave periods (different wavelengths). When wave incidents with angle 0 degree, the moment of diffraction force for pitch in high wave periods (low frequencies) is dominant. The diffraction force for heave in low wave periods (high wave frequencies) is dominant. The phase difference between Froude-Krylov and diffraction forces is important to obtain total wave force.

경사식 방파제에서 파랑과 구조물의 상호작용에 의하여 발생되는 처오름에 대한 파고i주기결합분포의 영향을 해석할 수 있는 신뢰성 해석 모형이 제시되었다 처오름과 관련된 파괴모드의 정의에 따라 수면의 불확실성에 따른 영향을 해석할 수 있는 신뢰함수가 유도되었다. 특히 신뢰함수에 주기가 하나의 확률변수로 포함되어, 주기의 통계적 특성과 분포함수가 직접적으로 고려될 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 평균주기에 따른 파고분포의 거동특성이 조건부파고분포에 의해 올바로 고려될 수 있었다. 주기의 영향을 받지 않는 유의파고의 극치분포를 이용한 신뢰성 해석의 결과와 비교하여, 파고-주기결합분포를 이용한 신뢰성 해석이 극치분포를 이용한 신뢰성 해석보다 더 큰 파괴확률을 추정한다는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 중요한 구조물인 경우, 극치분포를 이용하여 경사식 방파제의 마루높이가 결정되더라도 단일 폭풍사상에 대하여는 파고-주기결합분포를 이용한 추가적인 해석이 필요하다. 한편 주기의 분포함수에 영향을 주는 계수에 따른 신뢰지수의 거동특성이 해석되었는데, 이에 따른 영향은 매우 작은 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 평균주기에 의한 파고분포의 거동에 따른 신뢰지수의 차이는 큰 것으로 나타났다 이는 파괴확률에 미치는 주기의 영향이 파고분포를 통하여 주로 발생된다는 것을 의미하는 것이다. 마지막으로 수면 변동 효과를 고려한 합리적인 마루높이 산정을 위해 마루높이의 변화에 따른 파괴확률을 산정하였다.

The ocean environment offshore West Africa is considered to be mild. However, the generated swell from distant North and South Atlantic during austral winter and summer can reach high wave amplitudes with relatively low wave periods or low wave amplitudes with long wave periods, the later can be a crucial scenario to consider when the assessment of vessel resonance is of importance. Most offshore operations, which include offshore drilling, and installation in West Africa, are carried out from floating systems. The response of these systems and performance are governed by characteristics, such as amplitude and frequency of the wave and swell seas. It is therefore important to fully understand the sea conditions offshore Nigeria. This study covers the description of the swell sea offshore Nigeria using Bonga offshore wave measurements collected from the directional wave-rider (DWR), positioned at the Bonga site off the coast of Nigeria.

The sliding stability of monolithic vertical caisson of composite breakwaters is quantitatively analyzed by using a reliability model, FMA of Level II, in order to study the variation of sliding failure of caisson due to the occurrence of extreme waves exceeded deepwater design wave. The reliability index and several parameters in the wave pressure formula are inter- related to find out the effects of extreme wave exceeded design wave on the sliding failure of vertical monolithic caisson. The sliding failure of caisson seems to be largely increased as the heights and periods of extreme waves exceeded design wave increase, also depends directly on the water depth in front of the composite breakwaters. From the numerical simulations carried out with several kinds of extreme waves exceeded design wave which are assumed to be occurred during the service periods of breakwater, it is found that the effects of the wave height on the sliding failure of caisson may be more dominant than those of wave periods and angles of wave incidence.

The very low natural frequencies of tension leg platforms (TLP's) have raised the concern about the significance of the action of hydrodynamic wave forces on the response of such platforms. In this paper, a numerical study using modified Morison equation was carried out in the time domain to investigate the influence of nonlinearities due to hydrodynamic forces and the coupling effect between surge, sway, heave, roll, pitch and yaw degrees of freedom on the dynamic behavior of TLP's. The stiffness of the TLP was derived from a combination of hydrostatic restoring forces and restoring forces due to cables and the nonlinear equations of motion were solved utilizing Newmark's beta integration scheme. The effect of wave characteristics such as wave period and wave height on the response of TLP's was evaluated. Only uni-directional waves in the surge direction was considered in the analysis. It was found that coupling between various degrees of freedom has insignificant effect on the displacement responses. Moreover, for short wave periods (i.e., less than 10 sec.), the surge response consisted of small amplitude oscillations about a displaced position that is significantly dependent on the wave height; whereas for longer wave periods, the surge response showed high amplitude oscillations about its original position. Also, for short wave periods, a higher mode contribution to the pitch response accompanied by period doubling appeared to take place. For long wave periods, (12.5 and 15 sec.), this higher mode contribution vanished after very few cycles.

Field measurements of the wind-induced response of two residential reinforced concrete buildings, among the tallest in the world, have been performed during two typhoons. Natural periods and damping values have been determined and compared with other field measurements and empirical predictors. Suitable and common empirical predictors of natural period and structural damping have been obtained that describe the trend of tall, reinforced concrete buildings whose structural vibrations have been measured in the collection of studies in Hong Kong compiled by the authors. This data is especially important as the amount of information known about the dynamic parameters of buildings of these heights is limited. Effects of the variation of the natural period and damping values on the alongwind response of a tall building for serviceability-level wind conditions have been profiled using the gust response factor approach. When using this approach on these two buildings, the often overestimated natural periods and structural damping values suggested by empirical predictors tended to offset each other. Gust response factors calculated using the natural periods and structural damping values measured in the field were smaller than if calculated using design-stage values.

An Overtopping Wave Energy Convertor (OWEC) is an offshore wave energy convertor used for collecting overtopping waves and converting the water pressure head into electric power through hydro turbines installed in a vertical duct affixed to the sea bed. A numerical wave tank based on the commercial computational fluid dynamics code Fluent is established for the corresponding analysis. The Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equation and two-phase VOF model are utilized to generate the 2D numerical linear propagating waves, which are validated by the overtopping experiment results. Calculations are made for several incident wave conditions and shape parameters for the overtopping device. Both the incident wave periods and heights have evident effects on the overtopping performance of the OWEC device. The computational analysis demonstrates that the present overtopping device is more compatible with longer incident wave periods.

Objective: This paper aimed to understand influences on EEG conducting acupuncture stimulation, by comparing the changes in the acupoints on the body before and after normal people are treated with acupuncture at PC9 and TE3, which are referred to as Wood points(木穴), and PC5 and TE1, which are referred to as the Metal points(金穴) among the five shu points of Yin pericardium Meridian and Yang Triple Energizer Meridian. Methods: The study was performed on 30 healthy female volunteers in their 20's. EEG was measured for 5 minutes before acupuncture stimulation was conducted on PC9, TE3, PC5 and TE1. During 20 minutes of acupuncture treatment, the same items were continuously measured to find out whether there were any changes in them, and they were measured for 5 minutes after removing the acupuncture needles in order to implement a comparative analysis. Results: Comparision of EEG data before and after the treatment at PC9 shows no significant differences in all wave. Compared with the pre-acupuncture period at TE3, $\delta-\theta$ wave decreased significantly (P<0.05) during the acupuncture stimulation periods. Compared with the pre-acupuncture period at PC5, $\delta-\theta$ wave and high $\alpha$ wave increased significantly (P<0.05) during the acupuncture stimulation periods. And Mid $\beta$ wave and high $\beta$ wave decreased significantly (P<0.05) during the acupuncture periods and the post acupuncture periods. Compared with the Pre-acupuncture period at TE1, $\delta-\theta$ wave, $\theta$ wave and high $\alpha$ wave increased significantly (P<0.05) during the acupuncture stimulation periods. And Low $\beta$ wave decreased significantly (P<0.05) during the acupuncture periods. Conclusion: When acupuncture stimulation was performed on PC9 and TE3, referred to as the "Wood points", brain waves were stabled, while when acupuncture was performed on PC5 and TE1, called the "Metal points", a brain was waked. From the findings of this study, we hypothesize that the wood properties, from which growing starts in all things, are related with fast waves of EEG, and the metal properties, which stabilize and converge in all things, are related with slow waves of EEG.

본 연구는 선박의 크기, 계류조건, 파랑의 주기, 파향 등에 의한 계류선박의 동요량을 해석하고 선박의 하역한계파고 산정 및 항만가동율을 평가하는 방법을 제시한 것이다. 본 방법은 포항신항 제8부두의 파랑관측자료를 이용하여 타당성을 검증하였다. 하역중단 시 파랑관측 자료는 파고 0.10~0.75 m, 주기 7~13 s 이었으며, 이때 계류된 선박은 800~35,000톤 이었다. 그리고 본 방법으로부터 산정된 제 8부두의 하역한계파고는 선박 5,000, 10,000, 30,000톤에 대하여 파고 0.19~0.50 m, 주기 8~12 s로 산정되었다. 본 방법의 결과는 연구대상 선박의 크기가 현지 선박의 크기와 정확히 일치하지는 않아서 파고는 관측치와 다소 차이를 보이지만 주기변화에 따라 하역한계파고를 잘 재현하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 파향이 75도 인 경우의 본 방법에 의한 하역한계파고는 현행 항만설계 기준에 제시된 한계파고 보다 장단주기 파를 고려하면 16~62% 감소하였고, 단주기 파랑만 고려하면 0~46%감소하였다. 특히 현행 항만설계기준의 하역한계하고는 10,000톤 이하의 선박에 대해서는 과대 평가되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 한편, 선박의 동요량을 고려하여 산정된 포항신항 제 8부두의 가동율은 설계기준 파고에 의한 가동율 에 비하여 6.5% 감소하였다.
