Performance and working principle of high-efficiency multi-cyclone were analyzed, and the structural design shortage of original high-efficiency multi-cyclone was pointed out. Its structure was researched and designed, including determination of setting chamber and pipe number, selection of material and the design of cyclones.

The need exists for a simplified structural review guide to enable U.S. Coast Guard marine inspectors to verify the structural adequacy of aluminum crewboats. The authors have developed such a guide. Typical existing crewboat forms and service speeds have been used to reduce the determination of impact pressures to a function of length and displacement. A design stress limit for the cyclic loading of the bottom structure has been determined based on wave observation data. Plating design has been verified by a comparison of sizing by beam theory versus elastoplastic analysis. A simplified grillage analysis has been used to determine the level of support provided by longitudinal plate girders or keelsons. A worked example and tables of section moduli for typical extrusions attached to plating are included as appendices.

As oil exploration and production move into water depths over 1000 ft (305 m), several companies are investigating compliant structures as possible solutions to the economic and engineering problems involved. This paper focuses on the tension-leg type of platform, a positively buoyant structure kept on location by a pretensioned anchoring system. The basic approach to design of a tension-leg platform system, the various components of the system and the interaction between naval architectural and structural design considerations are presented. The author points out that planning for a successful design must include:preparation of good design criteria,determination of variables,evaluation of variables for sensitivity and interaction,accurate and timely engineering decisions in selection of a set of parameters, andparallel studies covering fabrication, transportation and installation requirements. Appendices give the mathematical bases for computing motions of the tenslon-leg platform and graphic illustrations of platform characteristics and the effects of typical exciting forces.
