Abstract The lowering into deepwater phase of the installation of subsea equipment is analyzed by a one degree of freedom model and also by a multiple degree of freedom model in order to determine the scenarios where the simplified model can be used accurately. The one degree of freedom system is based on the assumption that the lifting cable has a length that varies throughout the time as a function of the payout speed. On the other hand, the multiple degree of freedom system is constructed using the commercial software Orcaflex which uses the line feeding feature to evaluate the continuous lowering of the equipment during the operation. Firstly, possible critical scenarios for the use of the simplified model are obtained by evaluating the total time for longitudinal pressure waves to travel inside the cable and by analyzing the resonance frequencies of the system for different water depths, types of cables, and equipment. Secondly, the one degree and the multiple degree of freedom systems are compared. The results show that high water depth and high mass ratio tends to lead to more critical scenarios for the use of the simplified model, especially when the excitation period is low. Further, the dynamics of the system for different payout speeds is assessed considering the most critical scenario for the use of the simplified model. In this case, the differences between the models are not affected by the speed. It is concluded that the one degree of freedom model should not be considered as an accurate method to analyze subsea lifts for scenarios of high mass ratio, high water depth and low excitation periods, independent of the payout speed considered for the operation. Finally, guidance for the selection between both models is provided.

Abstract We study the model of four-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-Λ theory minimally coupled to a massive charged self-interacting scalar field, parameterized by the quartic and hexic couplings, labelled by λ and β, respectively. In the absence of scalar field, there is a class of counterexamples to cosmic censorship. Moreover, we investigate the full nonlinear solution with nonzero scalar field included, and argue that these counterexamples can be removed by assuming charged self-interacting scalar field with sufficiently large charge not lower than a certain bound. In particular, this bound on charge required to preserve cosmic censorship is no longer precisely the weak gravity bound for the free scalar theory. For the quartic coupling, for λ < 0 the bound is below the one for the free scalar fields, whereas for λ > 0 it is above. Meanwhile, for the hexic coupling the bound is always above the one for the free scalar fields, irrespective of the sign of β.

Natural frequencies of the four upgraded front searchlight designs were received in ANSYS software environment. In the first case serial front searchlight incandescent electric lamp was replaced by a LED group which was mounted on the one-piece cylinder backing. The second front searchlight design had the backing which was upgraded by a radial ribs and concentric rigidity ferrules. Analyze of the backing deformation character by vibrations with the natural frequencies established a number of design solutions which make it possible to raise front searchlight vibration resistance. By the front searchlight model were established that the natural frequencies of the searchlight with the one-piece backing appertain to the whole range of the train vibrations. Natural frequencies of the backing with perforation, rigidity ferrules, and radial ribs appertain to the low frequencies of the railway locomotive vibrations spectrum. On basis of devised methodology of analyze of the deformation and natural frequencies of the surface carrying a LED group the vibration-proof searchlight design was introduced and researched.

The two-degrees-of-freedom VIV of the circular cylinder with high mass-ratio is numerically simulated with the software ANSYS/CFX. The VIV characteristic is analyzed in the different conditions (Ur=3, 5, 6, 8, 10). When Ur is 5, 6, 8 and 10, the conclusion which is different from the cylinder with low mass-ratio can be obtained. When Ur is 3, the frequency of in-line VIV is twice of that of cross-flow VIV which is equal to the frequency ratio between drag force and lift force, and the in-line amplitude is much smaller than the cross-flow amplitude. The motion trace is the crescent. When Ur is 5 and 6, the frequency ratio between the drag force and lift force is still 2, but the main frequency of in-line VIV is mainly the same as that of cross-flow VIV and the secondary frequency of in-line VIV is equal to the frequency of the drag force. The in-line amplitude is still very small compared with the cross-flow amplitude. When Ur is up to 8 and 10, the frequency of in-line VIV is the same as the main frequency of cross-flow VIV which is close to the inherent frequency of the cylinder and is different from the frequency of drag force or lift force. But the secondary frequency of cross-flow VIV is equal to the frequency of the lift force. The amplitude ratio of the VIV between in-line and cross-flow direction is about 0.5. When Ur is 5, 6, 8 and 10, the motion trace is mainly the oval.

Passive acoustic liners, used in aeronautic engine nacelles to reduce radiated fan noise, have a quarter-wavelength behavior. The simplest systems are SDOF-type (single degree of freedom), consisting of a perforated sheet backed with a honeycomb, whose absorption ability is limited to frequencies near the Helmholtz frequency. Thus, to widen the absorption frequency range, manufacturers use a 2DOF (double degree of freedom) system, with an internal layer over another honeycomb (stack of two resonators). However, one constraint is the limited thickness of the overall system, which reduces the space allotted to each honeycomb. A possible approach, based on a previous concept called LEONAR (long elastic open-neck acoustic resonator), could be to link each perforated layer to hollow tubes inserted in each honeycomb layer, in order to shift resonance frequencies to lower frequencies by extending the air column lengths. The presence of an empty chamber on both sides of the internal perforated layer also allows the tube length to be increased through tubes crossing both cavities, preserving the liner thickness. The main aim of this article is to mathematically describe the principle of a 2DOF LEONAR and to show the relevance of the mathematical model through FEM simulations and experiments performed in an impedance tube. Moreover, its behavior is analyzed through a parametric study, in order to explore its potential for an aeronautic application. A remarkable feature of 2DOF LEONAR-type materials with insertion of bottom tubes in the higher cavity is the possibility of maintaining the low frequency band provided by the original LEONAR concept, while adding a second absorption peak at a higher frequency, by the second layer and the accompanying tubes. There is a fundamental difference from classical SDOF/2DOF resonators, for which the thicknesses are obviously different.

AbstractStrong winds from massive stars are a topic of interest to a wide range of astrophysical fields. In High-Mass X-ray Binaries the presence of an accreting compact object on the one side allows to infer wind parameters from studies of the varying properties of the emitted X-rays; but on the other side the accretor’s gravity and ionizing radiation can strongly influence the wind flow. Based on a collaborative effort of astronomers both from the stellar wind and the X-ray community, this presentation attempts to review our current state of knowledge and indicate avenues for future progress.

Abstract A gyroscope can incur steady drift by kinematically rectifying angular vibrations of the platform on which it is mounted. The phenomenon, for an unrestrained single-degree-of-freedom gyro, results from oscillatory precession of the gyro momentum vector from its nominal spatial orientation, so that it senses platform motions about axes other than the one it is controlling. The magnitude of the drift can be accurately predicted and the vibration climate of the platform restricted accordingly. Quantitative experimental verification is presented.
