Marine industry requires continued development of new technologies in order to produce oil. An essential requirement in design is to be able to compare experimental data from prototype structures with predicted information from a corresponding analytical finite element model. In this study, structural model updating may be defined as the fit of an existing analytical model in the light of measu...

Offshore structures are exposed to cyclic loading and thereby at risk of fatigue failure, especially the welded joints between trusses in offshore jacket foundations. In this paper, an optimization framework for considering damages is presented. The can be used optimize orientation location welds connecting joint a K-node damage. It known that longer higher failure compared shorter welds. To ac...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was investigated the effect of tight clothes on cervical and thoracic spine muscles activities during shoulder abduction. [Subjects and Methods] The subjects of this study were 10 healthy males. The subjects performed two shoulder abduction trials for each of two jacket-wearing conditions. The right upper, middle, and lower trapezius and serratus anterior mus...

Indefinites in intensional contexts, such as attitude reports or intensional argument positions, give rise to a well-known ambiguity. Consider (1): On the so-called specific reading, it says that there is a particular object which happens to be a jacket like Malte’s jacket such that Adrian wants to buy that particular object. Adrian need not know that that object is a jacket like Malte’s. On th...
