复合材料层合圆柱壳的动力响应与层间应力

采用分层壳理论和厚度方向的二次插值函数推导出正交铺设层合圆柱壳的动力响应方程,并得出简支层合圆柱壳自由振动问题的解.对于给定算例,计算出的自振频率与三维分析的结果吻合良好,说明所推导的二维解具有足够精度.计算了前四阶模态对应的壳中应力.计算结果说明,对于高阶模态,层间应力相对于面内应力的比值远高于低阶模态的对应比值,高的层间正应力是高阶模态导致脱层破坏的主要原因.     

纵桁对环肋圆柱壳体水下振动与声辐射的影响

采用结构有限元耦合流体边界元的附加质量附加阻尼算法,对具有不同数量纵桁的加筋环肋圆柱壳水下振动与声辐射噪声进行了数值计算,并对数值计算结果进行了初步的比较和分析,讨论了纵桁的数量对圆柱壳水下振动与声辐射的影响.结果表明:纵桁对圆柱壳水下的减振降噪有较好的效果,并且纵桁的数量越多,减振降噪效果越好,但增加纵桁的数量也相应增加了艇体的重量,在潜艇结构设计时须在降噪及艇体重量间综合权衡.     

Kelvin模型阻尼层合板的振动分析

基于Kelvin模型粘弹性材料本构关系导出了阻尼层合板的动力学微分方程组,给出了四边简支阻尼层合板的固有频率和损耗因子的解析解。与文献结果比较表明,将Kelvin模型应用于粘弹结构的动力特性问题求解,计算模型简便,且计算结果比常复数模型更为精确。分析了阻尼层参数变化对结构振动特性的影响。分析结果表明:增加阻尼层厚度,可以有效提高结构损耗因子;增加阻尼层材料的剪切模量,结构损耗因子增大到一定值后又逐渐减小,在减振设计中阻尼层的模量存在最佳值。

舱壁振动对环肋圆柱壳舱段振声性能的影响

舱壁振动会传递到相连壳体部分,进而影响圆柱壳舱段振动和声辐射。为明确舱壁振动对环肋圆柱壳振声性能的影响,利用FEM/BEM法从舱壁边界条件和结构参数变化两个方面进行了数值计算,分别讨论了舱壁约束条件、舱段截取尺寸、舱壁封板形状、舱壁厚度及加强筋形式变化的影响规律。结果表明:研究有限长环肋圆柱壳振声性能时,两端边界简支边界是可取的;舱段截取对计算结果有较大的影响;改变舱壁形状对壳体振动均方速度级峰值影响较大;增加舱壁厚度和舱壁加筋对圆柱壳振声性能的影响要分频段考虑,总体来说对改善舱段振声性能有利。     

反对称铺层碳纤维复合材料圆柱壳的双稳态应力特性

双稳态复合材料可广泛应用于各类可变结构的设计。针对反对称铺层的圆柱壳,利用有限元软件ABAQUS的Standard准静态分析,模拟其双稳态跳变过程和跳回过程,探讨在整个连续过程中圆柱壳上的应力分布情况,以及应力随时间和载荷变化的趋势,从而对该类可变结构的设计起到指导作用。结果表明:该类复合材料圆柱壳跳变过程中最大应力出现在载荷施加点与约束点附近,第二稳态下应力关于板中心呈中心对称分布,最大应力沿板壳对角线出现在四个角内侧附近,而跳回过程中应力由第二稳态下的分布慢慢变为集中在约束点附近。而且整个圆柱壳上的最大应力时刻与最大载荷施加的时刻不重叠,具有滞后性。

An Unlikely Alliance: Portuguese and South African Airpower in Angola, 1968–1974

The war that Portugal was obliged to fight in Africa began in 1961 and immediately stretched the resources of its armed forces. Nowhere was this thinness more apparent than in policing the vast territory of Angola. The east and southeast of Angola were particularly vulnerable, as the area was a vast, sparsely populated region characterised by enormous featureless plains or chanas covered in tall grass and broken by an extensive river system and mountainous forests. The only military solution to policing these immense spaces was aviation and specifically the helicopter that could carry troops into battle, protect them with a gunship and bring them home when the operation was concluded. The immediate problem for the Portuguese Air Force (Força Aérea Portuguesa or FAP) in Angola and elsewhere was a scarcity of helicopters. The solution was an alliance with South Africa, which had a strong inventory of Alouette IIIs, to help in policing the east. This move was likewise in the interest of South Africa, as its threat came from Zambia through south-eastern Angola. This article examines the strategic and tactical development of this unusual, cross-cultural alliance and the symbiotic relationship that resulted in destruction of the enemies of both in Angola.     

Helping hands: civil–military cooperation and Italy's military operation abroad

In the Post-Bipolar Era the growing complexity of the military operations requires a new approach for the resolution of international crises. Since the end of the Cold War, peace support operations (PSO) have become the mainstay and principal occupation of most Western armies. At the same time, Italy has been one of the most important actors in such an area. The article focuses on the cooperation between military and civil components (a process called CIMIC) as a key variable in the Italian PSOs. We will analyse in detail the main lessons learned from past military interventions as well as the general context in which new tendencies are taking place. The maintaining of a minimum security frame becomes essential to fulfil activities ‘collateral’ to the mission: reconstructing services and infrastructure, food distribution, water and medication, law and order, de-mining, training of local forces, and supporting local institutions. These are the main tasks to obtain thrust and support from the population.     

Terrorism,insurgency, kidnapping,and security in Africa's energy sector

Energy continues to serve as the bedrock of modern economies and the main driver of modern society. For Africa, the production and supply of energy resources such as crude oil, natural gas, uranium, coal, biomass, biofuels and other renewables are an important source of employment, rents, taxes, royalties and profits. This sector brings in several tens of billions of dollars of revenue annually. The production and delivery of such resources, however, depend on critical infrastructures such as pipelines, refineries, processing plants, terminals, rigs, electrical energy pylons, substations, pump stations, vessels, and tankers. These infrastructures have been attacked by terrorists, insurgents, vandals and saboteurs, all of whom see them as targets against which to register their grievances and extract concessions from the state. This paper is a chronological account of some of the documented incidents of terrorism, insurgency, kidnapping, destruction, sabotage, and human casualties suffered in the oil and gas sectors in Africa between 1999 and 2012. It is based on data extracted from the databases of the RAND Database of World Terrorism Incidents and the University of Maryland's Global Terrorism Database (GTD).

A Sign of Victory?: ‘Scottish Swords’ and Other Weapons in the Possession of the ‘Auld Innemie’

Many late medieval documents, notably inventories of arms and armour, of Englishmen contain references to ‘Scottish swords’ and other weapons. What did the compilers of these documents mean when they described a weapon as ‘Scottish’? How did such weapons come to be in the possession of these men? This article will attempt to explain this phenomenon drawing on primary documentary sources and surviving material culture from Glasgow Museums’ collections and others, as well as artworks from the period.     

Tacit support for terrorism: The rapprochement between the USSR and Palestinian guerrilla organizations following the 1967 war

This article demonstrates the inconsistent and wavering Soviet attitude towards national liberation movements in general and the Palestinian organizations in particular. Until the late 1960s, the Soviets viewed these organizations with suspicion, hesitating to engage in political dialogue with them. However, in the 1970s, political and military events in the region, as well as modifications in the Kremlin's Cold War strategies, led to a general shift towards the Middle East in Soviet foreign policy. Soviet leaders showed increased willingness to provide certain Palestinian organizations with arms with which to conduct terrorist activities against Israeli, pro-Israeli, Jewish and Western targets. The article explores the complex relations between Palestinian organizations and the USSR in the field of international terror. The study also exposes and analyzes the nature and content of Soviet–Palestinian arms dialogues and transactions. It provides clear evidence that Soviet policymakers and other luminaries were fully informed of, and sometimes directly involved in, these transactions and dialogues at the highest levels.     

A1 Qaeda and the radical Islamic challenge to western strategy

The September 11 global crisis prompted by the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon raises major questions concerning the nature and trajectory of terrorism in the post-Cold War global order. Hitherto, terrorism has been largely debated by analysts at the level of nation states. Terrorist and insurgent movements have also been largely anchored in nationalist and ethnic power bases even when they have sought to mobilise a transnational ideological appeal on religious or class grounds. There have been a few exceptions to this pattern such as the alliance between the German Baader-Meinhof group and the Japanese Red Army Faction, but even such international alliances as this did not, until at least the 1980s, presage anything like a global terrorist network necessitating a global strategic response. This study examines terrorism and global strategic responses.     

Helping hands: external support for the KNU insurgency in Burma

This article analyses to what extent the Burmese KNU insurgency made use of external support from states, refugees, and diasporas. Based on extensive fieldwork it is concluded that support from neighbouring states and refugees has for years kept the Karen rebellion alive. Western countries perceived forms of resistance to the illegitimate Burmese regime as just and have therefore played a crucial role in the continuation of conflict in Karen State. It is important that policymakers and donors as well as executing organizations continue to reflect critically on the way they exercise their work.     

Cyberpower in Strategic Affairs: Neither Unthinkable nor Blessed

Abstract

This article explores the effect of connectivity on strategic affairs. It argues that the effect on war's character is potentially, although not yet shown in practice, considerably large. Its effect upon the distribution of power among states in the international system is small, contrary to the claims of ‘cyberwar’ alarmists. All told, however, its effect upon strategic affairs is complex. On the one hand, it represents a significant advance in the ‘complexification’ of state strategies, understood in the sense of the production of intended effects. On the other hand, strategists today – still predominantly concerned with the conflicts and confrontations of states and organised military power – are generally missing the power which non-traditional strategic actors, better adapted to the network flows of the information age, are beginning to deploy. These new forms of organization and coercion will challenge the status quo.
