A wire rope is comprised of several metal wires which are wound together like a helix and it can resist relatively large axial loads, as compared with bending and torsional loads. A shipbuilding crane for erection such as a floating crane, a gantry crane, and a crawler crane hoists up and down heavy blocks by using these wire ropes. Thus, it is necessary to find dynamic properties of a wire rope in order to safely lift the blocks using the crane. In this study, a formula for calculating the tension and torsional moment acting on wire ropes of the crane was derived based on the existing study, and then dynamic simulation of the crane was performed based on the formula. The result shows that the dynamic simulation can be applied to find the safe method for block erection of shipyards.

Overlap, excessive wide gaps, and errors between blocks during erection process increases cost and man-hour. In this paper, a system to simulate the assembly process is suggested and a plane block assembly of welding deformation with gravity is simulated in consideration of assembly order, deformations and errors occurring in the cutting and forming processes are not considered and welding deformations are acquired by equivalent stiffness and load method from experiments and hull double bottom plane block is assembled on a assembly order by panel method. It is certified that according to the order of assembly, intermediate product shape affects rigidity which affects welding deformations. Assembly order must be considered in the assembly process. It is certified that the gravity has important role in the assembly process.

Recently, requests for the accurate process planning using modeling and simulation technique are increasing in many engineering fields including shipbuilding industry. In this study, Combined DEVS(Discrete EVent System specification) and DTSS(Discrete Time System Specification) simulation kernel is developed, and an integration strategy of dynamics simulation module and graphics module is also implemented. To evaluate the efficiency and applicability of the simulation kernel and integration strategy, these are applied to the block erection simulation of offshore structures.

The erection process planning is to decide erection strategy and sequence that satisfies dock duration. The erection scheduling is to decide erection date of each block. The load profile varies according to scheduling and it is related to building cost. It must be possible to simulate the various combinations of process plan and schedule for optimal planning. To develop the process planning system for optimal planning, the system that generate the sequence of erection automatically and the load leveling system are required. This paper suggests the method that generates the erection sequence. The load leveling should be done to all the ships in the same dock batch to get reliable results. In this case since the search space is very large, efficient optimization method is needed Our research achieved the load leveling system using Genetic Algorithm. This system made it possible to simulate various process plans to which schedule is considered.

At the initial design stage, the generation process of the production material information of a building block and the simulation process of the block erection, which are required to perform the production planning and scheduling, have been manually performed using 2D drawings, based on the data of parent ships, and subjective intuition from past experience. To make these processes automatic, the accurate generation method of the production material information and the convenient simulation method of the block erection based on the initial hull structural model(3D CAD model), were developed in this study. Here, the initial hull' structural model was generated from the initial hull structural CAD system early developed by us. To evaluate the developed methods. these methods were applied to corresponding processes of a deadweight 300,OOOton VLCC. As a result. it was shown that the production material information of a building block can be accurately generated and the block erection can be conveniently simulated in the initial design stage.

본 논문에서 설계한 802.11 MAC(Medium Access Control)은 하드웨어와 소프트웨어의 통합 구조로 되어 있다. MAC에서 가장 빠르게 동작해야 하는 프레임 전송과 수신블록은 하드웨어로 설계를 하였고, 그 외에는 소프트웨어로 설계가 되었다. 하드웨어로 설계된 MAC은 802.11 표준문서에 포함된 SDL(Specification and Description Language)을 기초하여 설계하였으며, 성능 향상을 위하여 수신블록의 중복 프레임 검사를 수행하는 블록과 프레임을 분석하여 정보를 추출하는 블록을 SDL과 다르게 설계 하였다. 삼성 0.35공정 라이브러리를 이용하여 합성한 결과 3만 게이트의 크기를 갖으며, 최대 동작 주파수는 100MHz이다. 메모리는 47Kbits SRAM을 사용하였다. 실제동작의 검증에 앞서 Mentor Graphics사의 ModelSim을 이용하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며, 동작 검증은 Huins 사의 Altera Excalibur FPGA가 탑재된 XP8000 보드를 이용하여 이루어 졌다.

In this study, a simulation framework, which can support developing various simulation systems for the improvement of process planning in shipbuilding such as the block erection, the block turn-over, and so on, is proposed. In addition, a simulation kernel, which is a key component of the simulation framework, is implemented according to the concept of the combined discrete event and discrete time simulation. To evaluate the efficiency and applicability of the proposed simulation framework, it is applied to the block erection process in shipbuilding. The result shows that the proposed simulation framework can provide the consistent, integrated development environment for a simulation system, as compared with existing studies and commercial simulation systems.

Generally, the shipbuilding industry has finite resources and limited workspace. Due to finite resources, limited workspace and state of block preparation, erection process in shipbuilding industry is frequently delayed than erection process scheduling which is planned at long-term plan stage. In this study, considering variability of block reserve ratio, the degree of delay in real erection process is measured and compared to scheduling which is planned at long-term plan stage in shipbuilding industry including finite capacity and variative lead time. Also, the erection process scheduling which has minimum lead time can be checked through simulation. The results of this study could be improved the accuracy of erection process scheduling by checking the main event compliance ratio by block reserve ratio and calculating the optimum erection pitch for the main event compliance.
