해양구조물의 피로파괴 형태는 매우 다양하며 설계단계에서 구조요소의 피로수명 예측은 중요하다. 각가지 피로해석 방법에 대해서 연구가 활발히 진행되었으며 접근방법에 대한 논의도 활발한 연구와 함께 진행되었다. 본 논문에서는 피로해석 방법중 스펙트랄 방법과 그 구성요소에 대해서 연구되었으며 간략화된 피로해석 방법이 제시되었고 그 특성이 비교 검토되었다. 두가지 피로해석 방법의 장단점이 조사되었고 관련된 인자인 응력집중계수, 응력폭-수명 관계 곡선 또한 연구되었다. 전형적인 반 잠수식시추선의 브레이싱 부재의 피로수명 예측을 위하여 간략화된 피로해석 방법과 스펙트랄 피로해석 방법이 작용되었으며 이를 통하여 두 방법의 유용성이 확인되었다. 또한 간략화된 피로해석 방법을 이용한 민감도 해석이 수행되었다. 본 논문에서 수행된 피로해석 결과는 스펙트랄 피로해석 방법이 보다 현실적인 피로수명 예측을 할 수 있는 방법이라는 사실을 보여주었다.

This paper concerns the navigation algorithm of motion reference unit (MRU) for autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) We apply the strapdown navigation system using middle level inertial sensors. But, because the MRU consists of inertial sensors, the values of AUV motion calculated by navigation computer are increased by drift property of inertial sensors. Therefore, we propose the attitude algorithm using switching method according to the motion of AUV From this algorithm, the drift terms are eliminated effectively for roll and pitch. But, another device is required for yaw angle.

In designing and manufacturing a submarine, an expensive real mock up is usually built as a reference because of the spatial constraints of a submarine. This paper presents an integrated and automated design process for a submarine that uses a digital mock up. Various equipment libraries are built for feature based design. Using the developed digital mock up, this paper shows various ways to verify the design, including a space analysis to check for any interference between pieces of equipment and the hull and an ergonomic analysis using lifelike dummies to examine the work space and operability. As a part of the integrated design system, a design automation system was also developed to generate surface point data for the outer hull, pressure hull, casing, and sail. The whole process was applied to the design of a submarine for verification.

The operation planning of multi-AUV is considered as a very difficult task. This paper proposes the qualitative method about the operation plan of multi-agents. In order to achieve this goal, it applies an extension collision map method as a tool to avoide collision between multi AUVs. This tool has been developed for the purpose of collision forecasting and collision avoidance for the multi - agents system in a land where a control is much easier. This paper analyzes the avoidance value of maximum path of AUV in order to apply this to a water environment where a tidal, a wave and disturbances are common. And it suggests the method that the maximum path avoidance can be applied to the collision avoidance on the extension collision map. Finally, the result proves that multi AUVs effectively navigates to the goal point, avoiding the collision by the suggested method.

A PC-based system for both monitoring and controlling SAUV is developed. The developed system is located on a ship and communicate with the SAUV through optical link through which the system sends motion command and receives video data, SSBL and Digital I/O data. The motion command includes velocity data and direction data. The overall system is developed with the intention of easy operation for operator and safe motion of SAUV. The easy operation is realized by GUI-based interface and the safe motion is realized by fault tolerant capability.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive backstepping controller to control the exact position and orientation of a remotely operated underwater vehicle with parametric model uncertainty. To further improve the angular velocity control precision of each thruster, a phase locked loop (PLL) controller has been added to the backstepping controller. A comparison of two backstepping controllers with and without the PLL control loop has been performed using simulations and experiments. The test results showed that the tracking performance could be improved by using the PLL control loop in the proposed adaptive backstepping controller.

Underwater robotic vehicles(URVs) have been an important tool for various underwater tasks such as pipe-lining, data collection, hydrography mapping, construction, maintenance and repairing of undersea equipment, etc because they have greater speed, endurance, depth capability, and safety than human divers. As the use of such vehicles increases, the vehicle control system is one of the most critical subsystems to increase autonomy of the vehicle. The vehicle dynamics are nonlinear and their hydrodynamic coefficients are often difficult to estimate accurately. It is desirable to have an intelligent vehicle control system because the fixed-parameter linear controller such as PID may not be able to handle these changes promptly and result in poor performance. In this paper we described and analyzed a new type of fuzzy model-based controller which is designed for underwater robotic vehicles and based on Takagi-Sugeno-Kang(TSK) fuzzy model. The proposed fuzzy controller: 1) is a nonlinear controller, but a linear state feedback controller in the consequent of each local fuzzy control rule; 2) can guarantee the stability of the closed-loop fuzzy system; 3) is relatively easy to implement. Its good performance as well as its robustness to parameter changes will be shown and compared with those of the PID controller by simulation.

The authors performed the underwater explosion analysis for the liquified oxygen tank - a kind of fuel tank of a mid-size submarine, and tried to verify the structural safety for this structure. First, the authors reviewed the theory and application of underwater explosion analysis, using a Structure-Fluid Interaction technique and its finite element modeling scheme. Next, the authors modeled the explosive and sea water as fluid elements, the LOX tank as structural elements, and the interface between the two regions as the ALE scheme. The effect on shock pressure and impulse of fluid mesh size and shape are also investigated. Upon analysis, it was found that the shock pressure due to explosion propagated into the water region, and hit the structure region. The plastic deformation and the equivalent stress were apparent at the web frame and the shock mount of LOX structure, but these values were acceptable for the design criteria.

Various advanced countries are accelerating the competition in the development of hypersonic weapons. North Korea is on the verge of building a new submarine equipped with a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM). A series of new guided missiles tests have continued due to political competition between the U.S. and China. The Republic of Korea is planning to boost its military capabilities, which involves the development of nuclear-powered submarines, light aircraft carriers, and new guided missiles. The northeast Asian region continues to be tense amid military rivalry between the Republic of Korea, North Korea, the United States, China, Russia, and Japan. Accordingly, these countries' competition to develop weapons is also at the world's highest level. In this paper, we examine the functioning of a hypersonic weapons system conduct a technical analysis of its components. In addition, we analyze the direction of military development that the Korean military wants to pursue through the recently announced mid-term defense plan. We conclude by highlighting the technical limitations and implementation strategies to overcome the development of hypersonic weapons.
