Current practices to estimate the pressure loads on the hull of small high-speed craft in a seaway are based on determination of the wave loads by applying rules and standards which itself relies either on often conservative methods, leading to a craft that is heavier and slower than it could be otherwise. There are rather large uncertainties in the wave load predictions for ships mainly caused by not necessarily sufficient theoretical basis of the calculation methods. Direct pressure measurement techniques can only provide data at each transducer location and classical analytical techniques require a large amount of experimental data to be collected to relate pressure to the structures response. The evaluation of wave generated hydrodynamic loads is less reliable as the dynamic nature of the loading as well as transient effects such as slamming and green water on deck still demands more investigations. Therefore, a novel technique is required to overcome these limitations by providing a method of measuring the pressure load with relatively few sensors and minimal data collection. This paper reports on research undertaken to develop an inverse problem approach utilising an Artificial Neural Network(ANN) for quantification of in-service, transient loads in real-time acting on the craft from the craft's structural response(strain response to load). This study investigates suitability and performance of utilising ANN as an inverse problem approach to estimate impact loads applied to up to 13 locations on the structure in real-time from 16 strain measurements.

This paper introduces the investment of play, its role and significance in the design and development of digital musical instruments (DMIs). Dimension map analyses are used to create a qualitative numerical estimate of DMI expression. Expression is then longitudinally compared to data sets spanning a 16year study epoch of the Bent Leather Band. This study identifies multiplicity of control and other parameters, as significant affordances for DMI musical expression and skill development. The paper argues that Expression is proportional to the sum of invested play and the processional affordances latent within the DMI system.
Information systems exist in every aspect of our life and our society depends on them enormously. Despite this reliance, these systems are often unreliable, prone to errors, and pose vulnerabilities for potential secu...
