Abstract

In this thesis, the main objective is to do scantling, weight optimization and possible cost optimization for a platform supply vessel (PSV) for different polar classes with respect to the rules of Llyod’s Register. Taking polar class 2 as an example, scantling of hull structure was calculated based on equations in the rules (rules for PSV, for general cargo ships, for polar class vessel). According to the calculation and data first processed in Excel, all parameters affecting the scantling can be pointed out, which is critical for the later weight optimization. Regarding to the limitation of the rules, the structural optimization methodology has to be limited in the relationship of a variety of parameters in the equations. The main weight optimization operation was performed by MALAB according to all equations and constrains needed. The optimized result including dimension of plate, deck, framing and other elements was obtained in the final comparison. In optimization process, panel based optimization was programmed and the combination of serial and parallel algorithm was selected to optimize CPU time. After finding the relationship of variables by using Excel, quantitative relationship and trend between variables was analyzed by using MATLAB. The top appropriate solution corresponding with the criteria was founded based on the database created by MATLAB. As for some detailed design, this research will specially consider about. In this research, several important trends were concluded which could significantly influence the design process. Cost optimization is a complicated topic for any kind of ship involving variety of aspects. In this research, several main parameters including weight, welding length and part number were identified and taken into account for multi-objective optimization, which was made with the same optimization method. According to Pareto Frontier chart, suitable solution could be found with respect to specific weight of parameters. To check the optimized design, Rules Calc was selected to prove that the design satisfies the requirement of rules. According to plastic design theory, FEM was performed to prove the design is acceptable in strength.

Abstract

Energy Systems Engineering is one of the most exciting and fastest growing fields in engineering. Modeling and simulation plays a key role in Energy Systems Engineering because it is the primary basis on which energy system design, control, optimization, and analysis are based. This book contains a specially curated collection of recent research articles on the modeling and simulation of energy systems written by top experts around the world from universities and research labs, such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Yale University, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, National Energy Technology Laboratory of the US Department of Energy, University of Technology Sydney, McMaster University, Queens University, Purdue University, the University of Connecticut, Technical University of Denmark, the University of Toronto, Technische Universität Berlin, Texas A&M, the University of Pennsylvania, and many more. The key research themes covered include energy systems design, control systems, flexible operations, operational strategies, and systems analysis. The addressed areas of application include electric power generation, refrigeration cycles, natural gas liquefaction, shale gas treatment, concentrated solar power, waste-to-energy systems, micro-gas turbines, carbon dioxide capture systems, energy storage, petroleum refinery unit operations, Brayton cycles, to name but a few.

Abstract

When the domestic government, the private sector, and people in various professional fields talk about long-term care issues, they all focus on creating a warm and home-like care institution. However, we actively emphasize the importance of community-based long-term care. For “aging in place”, the development of domestic non-institutional care is still in its infancy, and some long-term care needs must still be met through institutional care, and the facilitation of the extension or outreach of community-based care and respite service platforms for the development of community-based long-term care still rely on institutional care. The history of the development of long-term care in Taiwan is much shorter than that of Japan, Europe, the United States, and Canada. Despite years of hard work and rapid development, the long-term care resources needed to establish a complete system in terms of universalization, fairness, accessibility, and selectivity are not available. In the future, based on the soundness of institutional care, it hoped that outreach will move toward the goals of community care and aging in place. We hope the studies in this Special Issue will help further develop clinical medicine for healthcare and stainability.
