우리나라 조선산업은 생산성 향상을 통한 건조척수의 증가를 통하여 일본과 더불어 세계 $1^{\sim}2$위의 시장 점유율을 기록하는 등 세계 최고의 수준이다. 그러나 국내 중소형 조선소나 조선기자재업체의 경우에는 기술 인력의 부족으로 인하여 독자적인 기술의 확보와 기술개발 여건이 마련되어 있지 않은 상황이다. 특히, 구명정(Life boat)은 선박의 비상 탈출 장비로써 법적으로 의무 설치가 강제화 되어 있는 선박 안전에 있어 필수적인 장비로서 수요도 꾸준히 증가하고 있으나, 국내의 구명정 제작업체로는 현대라이프보트가 유일하며 2004년 기준 국내 신조선박에 탑재되는 수량의 25%, 세계시장의 4% 만을 공급하고 있다. 이외의 수량은 $7^{\sim}8$ 개의 유럽 등 외국업체와 중국업체들이 제작, 공급하는 실정이다. 이에, 본 연구에서는 구명정의 신선형 개발과 선형시험 통한 성능 검증 및 품질 향상과 풍수절감을 위한 생산성 향상 방안, 기존 몰드 개선 방안 연구 등을 수행하고 시제선을 건조하여 저가의 외국 구명정에 대응하여 국내 구명정 기술 경쟁력을 향상시킬 수 있는 전폐형 구명정의 국산화를 달성하였다.

Emergency batteries on board are used for stairs, pathway lights, and emergency communications during alternator black-out. In addition, there are engine start-up batteries in lifeboats. Typically, these batteries are installed under the Classification Rules. However, Since batteries inside life boats are installed in a confined narrow space, it is difficult to perform regular maintenances. Also, even though there are air vents in the life boat, the temperature inside the life boat often reaches above $65^{\circ}C$, which is much higher than the regulation temperature, $45^{\circ}C$. In this paper, we will summarize the accident of battery explosion occurred in MMU training ship, and possible causes. We will propose preventive measures of battery explosions as well as the revision of the regulation.

Lifeboat davit is composed of main frame, main arm, upper arm and support bar. In this paper, design parameters that affect the bending stiffness were set as plate thickness, width and hight of upper arm. To analyze the influence of parameter factors, FEM and Taguchi Method were used. This paper will help substantially in many industries.

The lifeboats of ship is necessary for protection of seafarer's safety. However, it have happened many accident on the Free-fall lifeboat. Hence, This study describes IMO's efforts and some solutions against constructional problem of Free-fall lifeboat regulated by SOLAS CONVENTION for prevention accident with lifeboats.

The technology review about risk of hypothermia of victim according to heat transfer characteristic of life raft and sea state can use accident correspondence of standing and sinking of ship. This study studied heat transfer characteristics required for the design of life raft and thermal insulation property analysis and evaluation methods. In addition, it is study for comprehend the risk of hypothermia and suggest analysis result that is experiment of thermal insulation property and body temperature property for decide of prediction the body temperature decline Thermal Analysis apply the finite element analysis method is comprehended the property of heat conductivity, convective effect of sea water and properties changes according to property of insulation material. it measure the heat flux with attach temperature sensor on body in order to comprehend the variation of body temperature with boarding a life raft experiment on a human body. This study validate results by comparing variation of temperature measured from experiment on a body with variation of temperature from finite element analysis model. Also, the criteria of hypothermia was discussed through result of finite element analysis.

Lifeboats of vessels are necessary for protection of seafarer's safety. However, many accidents have been happened during free-fall type lifeboat drills on board a ship. The aim of this study describes IMO's efforts and some solutions against constructional problem of lifeboats regulated by the provisions of the SOLAS Convention for prevention of accidents with lifeboats and provides information for revising national laws in accordance with the revision of the International Conventions such as SOLAS and STCW.

When a body enters waters, its original kinetic energy or momentum is distributed among the body and surrounding water in the form of added mass. Due to the transfer of the energy or momentum, the bode is subjected to the hydrodynamic impact forces and acceleration. This impact behavior can be an important criterion of submersible vehicle launched to the air. In this paper, based on Life-boat model, an approximate method is proposed for the evaluation of the forces and responses of cylindrical rigid bode by water entry impact. The impact forces are calculated by yon Karman's momentum theory and motion responses the body, especially acceleration, are calculated by a numerical integration of the motion equations derived by hydrodynamic force equilibrium. The proposed method is expected to be a simple but efficient tool lot the preliminary design or motion analysis of a body subjected to water entry impact.

An interest in Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) finite element methods has been increased due to more accurate responses in Fluid-Structure Interaction(FSI) problems. The multi-material ALE approach was applied to the prediction of the acceleration response of free-fall lifeboat, and its responses were compared to those of the single-material ALE one. It could be found that even though there was no big difference in the simulation responses of two methods, the single-material and multi-material ALE ones, the latter multi-material ALE method showed a little bit more close response to those of experimental results compared to the former single-material ALE one, especially in the x- and z-direction acceleration responses. Through this study, it could be found that several parameters in the ALE algorithms have to be examined more carefully for a good structural safety assessment of FSI problems.

A key element of a successful search and rescue is the correct prediction of the target location. In this paper, new computer models for drift prediction are suggested from the analysis of several methods currently used in other countries. Depending on the availability of the environmental data, users may select a model between the modified versions of U.S. Coast Guard CASP and FLENUMWEACEN SAR. Targets include boats, life rafts and person in water. Life rafts and boats are further classifed. New models are tested and compared with the limited number of field experimental results.
