Low Frequency Motion

An estimation method for the increased damping on a moored body in waves which allow simulation of the decay increase of low-frequency motion in waves is described. Emphasis is put on the analytical estimation method for the increased damping due to waves (wave drift damping) on a moored body during low-frequency motion. The estimated increased damping is compared with that of free oscillation tests in waves, and it is shown that the estimation method presented herein is acceptable qualitatively. The low-frequency resonant sway motions of a two-dimensional moored body in regular wave groups are also compared, and the numerical results show a tendency similar to the experiments when the wave drift damping is included in the equation of motion.

Low Frequency Motion

The problem of a circular cylinder array slowly oscillating in both diffraction and radiation wave fields is considered in the present work. As a result of the interaction between the wave fields and the low-frequency motion, nonlinear wave loads may be separated into the so-called wave-drift added mass and damping. They are force components proportional to the square of the wave amplitude but in phase of the acceleration and velocity of the low-frequency motion respectively. The frequency of the slow oscillation is assumed to be much smaller than the wave frequency. Perturbation expansion based on two time scales and two small parameters is performed to the order to include the effects of the acceleration of the low-frequency motion. Solutions to these higher order potentials are suggested in the present work. Wave loads including the wave drift added mass and damping are evaluated by the integration of the hydrodynamic pressure over the instantaneous wetted body surface.

To investigate the effects of the low-frequency oscillations on the nonlinear wave loads, the interaction of the low-frequency oscillations with the ambient wave fields is considered. The frequency of the slow oscillations is assumed to be much smaller than the wave frequency. Perturbation expansion based on two small parameters, i.e. the incident wave amplitude and the low frequency, is performed to simplify the problem. Nonlinear wave loads including the wave drift damping and wave drift added mass are evaluated by the integration of the hydrodynamic pressure over the instantaneous wetted body surface. The problem is solved for a uniform circular cylinder by means of the Green’s theorem and semi-analytical solutions are presented. The far field conditions for each order of potentials are proposed to ensure the existence of a unique solution. The restriction on the validation of the solutions is discussed.

In the present study, non-linear wave loads such as the wave drift force, wave drift damping and wave drift added mass, acting on a moored body is evaluated based on the potential theory. The body is oscillating at a low frequency under the non-linear excitation of waves. The problem of interaction between the low-frequency oscillation of the body and ambient wave fields is considered. A moving coordinate frame following the low frequency motion is adopted. Two small parameters, which measure the wave slope and the frequency of slow oscillations (compared with the wave frequency) respectively, are used in the perturbation analysis. So obtained boundary value problems for each order of potentials are solved by means of the hybrid method. The fluid domain is divided into two regions by an virtual circular cylinder surrounding the body. Different approaches, i.e. boundary element method and eigen-function expansion, are applied to these two regions. Calculated nonlinear wave loads are compared to the semi-analytical results to validate the present method.

In the present study, non-linear wave loads such as the wave-drift force, wave-drift damping and wave-drift added mass, acting on the body is considered based on the potential theory. To investigate non-linear wave loads, consistent perturbation expansion by means of two small parameters, i.e. the incident wave slope and the low frequency body motion, is performed on a moving frame (body-fixed) coordinate system. To avoid complicated free surface integrals as much as possible, new approach for the higher order potential in the interaction problem of low frequency motion and waves is suggested in the present work. Instead of integrals, derivative operators are defined to obtain special solutions efficiently.

Speckles are inherent to SAR. They hide and undermine several relevant information contained in the SAR images. In this paper, a despeckling algorithm using the shrinkage of two-dimensional discrete orthonormal S-transform (2D-DOST) coefficients in the transform domain along with shock filter is proposed. Also, an attempt has been made as a post-processing step to preserve the edges and other details while removing the speckle. The proposed strategy involves decomposing the SAR image into low and high-frequency components and processing them separately. A shock filter is used to smooth out the small variations in low-frequency components, and the high-frequency components are treated with a shrinkage of 2D-DOST coefficients. The edges, for enhancement, are detected using a ratio-based edge detection algorithm. The proposed method is tested, verified, and compared with some well-known models on C-band and X-band SAR images. A detailed experimental analysis is illustrated.

AbstractIn view of the influence of variability of low-frequency noise frequency on noise prevention in real life, we present a novel two-dimensional tunable phononic crystal plate which is consisted of lead columns deposited in a silicone rubber plate with periodic holes and calculate its bandgap characteristics by finite element method. The low-frequency bandgap mechanism of the designed model is discussed simultaneously. Accordingly, the influence of geometric parameters of the phononic crystal plate on the bandgap characteristics is analyzed and the bandgap adjustability under prestretch strain is further studied. Results show that the new designed phononic crystal plate has lower bandgap starting frequency and wider bandwidth than the traditional single-sided structure, which is due to the coupling between the resonance mode of the scatterer and the long traveling wave in the matrix with the introduction of periodic holes. Applying prestretch strain to the matrix can realize active realtime control of low-frequency bandgap under slight deformation and broaden the low-frequency bandgap, which can be explained as the multiple bands tend to be flattened due to the localization degree of unit cell vibration increases with the rise of prestrain. The presented structure improves the realtime adjustability of sound isolation and vibration reduction frequency for phononic crystal in complex acoustic vibration environments.
