船舶非线性横摇阻尼试验测定

波浪中大幅度的船舶横摇运动的危害性,虽然早就引起了重视和研究,但迄今横摇运动的预报问题在理论上还没有满意决定。因为对于横摇运动,粘性阻尼尚不能用理论精确计算,非线性问题要充分考虑。为了从试验获得可靠的非线性横摇阻尼系数,我们进行了“可控力矩式磁粉离合器横摇激振装置”的研制。其基本原理和初步调试结果曾发表在15thITTC会刊和1979年《武汉造船》上,并在第二届船舶耐波性学术讨论会上     

规则波浪中船舶操纵响应遭遇频率频散概念与机制

采用船舶单自由度横摇运动方程,以及纵摇与垂荡耦合摇荡运动方程,数值模拟了规则波浪中船舶操纵响应不规则摇荡运动现象。假定波浪中船舶遭遇频率具有谐波分量形式,定义了遭遇频率常量、强度和散射频率,提出了船舶遭遇频率频散概念,推导了遭遇频率的频散关系,分析得到了航速和浪向角度变化引起的两种频散机制。散射机制表明:顶浪航行时航速散射效率最高,正横浪航行时航向角散射效率最高。     

减摇鳍-减摇水舱综合减摇实验装置的研究

采用了减摇鳍-减摇水舱综合减摇的数学模型,对综合减摇数学模型在实验装置上的实现方法进行了分析。通过用软件模拟船舶横摇阻尼力矩的方法可以实现台架模拟船舶的横摇运动,通过对船舶-水舱系统数学模型的分析,可用近似二项式替代的方法来简化船舶-水舱系统数学模型,并通过仿真选出了较理想的近似参数值,使综合减摇数学模型在实验装置上的实现成为可能。通过对综合减摇理论数学模型和综合减摇实验装置模型的仿真分析,可以看出两者有较好的相似性,说明用文中综合减摇实验装置来模拟综合减摇系统的实现方法是可行的。

本文试验验证了Duffing方程和非线性横摇微分方程的近似理论解;表明了船舶出现横摇跳跃现象的条件;并根据试验数据辨识了非线性横摇阻尼系数和附加惯性矩,据以予报非线性横摇运动的跳跃现象,其结果与试验颇为一致。     

智慧岛

2003年第1期竟答题目1.舰船在高航速下满舵回转会产生很大的横倾角,众所周知,船舶处于大横倾时是非常危险的,最坏的结果就是翻船,为此掌握舰船在设计的最高航速下满舵回转的最大横倾角对于船舶驾驶人员来说是很重要的。现有一艘船舶在设计航速下满舵回转的最大横倾角等于A2+B.其中A等于a/b,B等于2a/b,然而ab不等于1,并且:

Thomas Firth and Sons – Steelmakers to the Arms Industries. Part 2: Heavy Armaments

Firth’s were the first of the Sheffield steel makers to enter the field armaments. Their involvement with Colt has been outlined in an article in the journal of the Colt Collectors Association in America and their activities as steelmakers to the small-arms industries has been covered in a previous issue of this Journal. This article gives a brief overview of their involvement as manufacturers in the field of heavy armaments, being the first to make all-steel guns and their evolving role in the use of steel for ordnance, culminating in the displacement of wrought iron by the adoption of steel for ordnance manufacture by the Royal Gun Factory in the 1880s. It also highlights their development of stainless steel in this context.     

Militarism in post-war Cyprus: the development of the ideology of defence

This article provides a theorisation of militarism in post-war Cyprus. Based on qualitative empirical research conducted in Cyprus in 2011, the article explores the manifestation and steadfastness of Greek-Cypriot militarism, and the development of this militarism, which appeared after the partition of the island in 1974. In particular, it proposes the ideology of defence as a way to understand post-war Greek-Cypriot militarism. It shows the embedded nature of defence in the idea of the national struggle. It aims at mapping the character of this militarism in order to provide the grounds for future discussion. Only by understanding the interconnecting discourses that made Greek-Cypriot militarism possible in post-war Cyprus, can we understand its past, present, and future.     

Equality and diversity in the British armed forces: progress,challenges and prospects

The UK's changing political and legal landscape since 2000 reflecting transformations in wider society have elevated equality and diversity (E&D) issues to prominence in the public sector, including in the British armed forces. This research highlights key developments in the British military in relation to E&D, focusing both on areas of progress, and on the challenges still confronting the Forces. The findings reveal that the Forces have made significant strides in advancing E&D through the implementation of a range of policy initiatives but the persistence of discrimination, developments in the wider environment and the dilemmas raised by the strands of age and disability pose challenges. The value of this research is to increase our understanding of diversity management in a public sector institution that has been under-researched and views itself as “different,” and will be of interest to policymakers, E&D practitioners and academics in the field.     

Unnecessary or unsung? The utilisation of airpower in Britain's colonial counterinsurgencies

Making extensive use of primary archival documents, this article seeks to explore whether airpower in three of Britain's most significant post-war colonial counterinsurgency campaigns, Malaya, Kenya and South Arabia, was an unnecessary part of British strategy, offering little useful military force due to the futility and strategic damage rendered by offensive bombardment, or whether airpower was indeed an unsung factor that provided operational flexibility through its effectiveness in a supply context, as well as its intelligence role in providing valuable aerial reconnaissance. In all three case studies the role played by the RAF in medical evacuations, in troop drops, in crop spraying during food-denial initiatives, and in providing ‘Voice Aircraft’ for the propaganda campaign, provide insights into an under-explored component of Britain's politico-military efforts in counterinsurgency in the 1950s and 1960s and suggests that the main strategic value of airpower in counterinsurgency, then and now, lies in its non-kinetic functions.     

Women police in the Nigerian security sector

This article details the history and philosophy behind major changes in police tradition and organisation in Nigeria in 1955. Women in the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), influenced by their background as enforcers of societal norms, developed a type of social-work-oriented policing. Using primary and secondary sources of historical information, this article discusses the origin of women in the NPF, the specialised role of women in police work, and the changes that have been effected in the roles and functions of women in policing in Nigeria. Situated within the conceptual frameworks of patriarchy and gender, this article argues that gender biases impeded the incorporation of women into the police and, when eventually introduced, gender limitations constrained their roles, operations and activities.     

Ethnic crises and national security in Nigeria

The article focuses on the interface between ethnicity and national security in Nigeria. It critically explores the negative mobilization of ethnicity in Nigeria's fourth republic, and how this has been shaping (and reshaping) the democratization process, particularly in the management of cooperation and conflict over contestations for power and other resources. The re-democratization of Nigeria in 1999 has been preceded with high expectations of meaningful reductions in the high level of insecurity witnessed under the long years of military suzerainty. However, this has not been the case. Rather, what is obtained is an increase in national insecurity on a much larger scale. This article argues that one of the banes of national security in the Nigerian state is ethnic politics, which continues to witness changes in context and character with grave consequences for the future of democracy. The central argument is that ethnicity has always been a major driver of politics and conflicts in Nigeria and the trend is not likely to change anytime soon.

The relevance of the Gulf of Guinea in global energy politics

Africa and for that matter the Gulf of Guinea cannot be indifferent to the global energy politics of the 21st century. The increasing importance of the region has attracted major actors in the energy sector. The competing interests of these actors are played out in various forms. This heightened interest in the region, especially with the discovery of oil in huge commercial quantities, has brought the importance of the area into focus in global oil politics. This paper looks at the importance of the region in light of the huge energy potentials of the Gulf of Guinea and how the institution of proper governance systems could serve as an important factor in ensuring the proper management of the resource.
