최초 19세기말 빙해역으로 둘러싸인 북유럽의 핀랜드 등지에서 쇄빙선을 건조하는 경험으로부터 출발하여 이제는 북극해 연안의 해저자원 개발과 더불어 극한지에 관한 종합적인 학문의 형태로 변모하고 있다. 이미 선진제국에서는 양극지방의 환경자료와 함께 상당한 양의 극한지 실험결 과를 축척하고 있다. 앞으로 개발의 손길을 기다리는 세계 도처의 빙해지역에서 막대한 양의 해저석유자원이 얻어질 것이라고 확신한다. 우선 시베리아 천연자원의 개발사업 같은 국내의 극지관련 기술수요를 창출하는 것이 급선무이지만 그와 함께 극지 자원 개발에 필요한 구조물의 제작이나 설치, 운용 등 외국으로부터의 기술수요에도 능동적으로 대처할 수 있는 준비가 필 요하다. 이를 위해서는 먼저 우리 나라의 제반 경제여건에 맞는 기술부분에 계획적이고도 집중 적으로 투자하는 것만이 효율적인 해결책일 것이다. 이와 함께 선진국의 앞선 극지관련 기술을 습득하기 위한 인적교류를 확대하고 국내에서도 극지공학에 관련된 기술인력을 계속 확보하는 노력이 절실히 요구된다. 극지개발은 이론적 접근과 함께 실험에 의한 신뢰성 있는 자료를 축 적해야 한다. 국내의 조선해양산업의 경험과 기술수준으로 판단 할 때 극지관련 공학기술을 가장 빨리 정립할 수 있는 분야는 극지용 해양구조물과 빙해항행선박의 설계 및 건조기술이라 볼 수 있다.

To detect and prevent structural damage caused by various loads on marine structures and ships, structural health monitoring procedure is essential. Estimating loads acting on the structures which are measured by sensors that are mounted properly are crucial for structural health monitoring. However, attaching an excessive number of sensors to the structure without consideration can be inefficient due to the high costs involved and the potential for inducing structural instability. In this study, we introduce a method to determine the optimal number of sensors and their optimized locations for strain measurement sensors, allowing for accurate load estimation throughout the structure using model expansion method. To estimate the loads exerted on the entire structure with minimal sensors, we construct a strain-load interpolation matrix using the strain mode shapes of the finite element (FE) model and select the optimal sensor locations by applying D-Optimal Design and the row exchange algorithm. Finally, we estimate the loads exerted on the entire structure using the model expansion method. To validate the proposed method, we compare the results obtained by applying the optimal sensor placement and model expansion method to an FE model subjected to arbitrary loads with the loads exerted on the entire FE model, demonstrating efficiency and accuracy.

In this paper, a Rankine source method is applied and validated to analyze the hydrodynamic response of a three-dimensional floating structure in the frequency domain. The boundary value problems for radiation and diffraction problem are solved by using a desingularized indirect boundary integral equation method (DIBIEM). The DIBIEM is simpler and faster than conventional methods based on the numerical surface integration of Green's function because the singularities of Green's function are located outside of fluid regions. In case of floating structure with complex geometry, it is difficult to desingularize the singularities of Green's function consistently. Therefore a mixed approach is carried out in this study. The mixed approach is partially desingularized except singularities of the body. Wave drift loads are calculated by the middle-field formulation method that is mathematically simple and has fast convergence. In order to validate the accuracy of the developed program, various numerical simulations are carried out and these results are analyzed and compared with previously published calculations and experiments.

Welding often results in welding distortion during the assembly process. The welding distortion of thin-plate structures such as the living quarters of ships and offshore installations is a more significant problem than in the case of thick-plate structures. Pre-stressing/heating and fairing, which are additional works to mitigate and control welding distortion, are inevitable, and the construction planning is accordingly delayed. In order to prevent welding distortion and minimize the additional work during the assembly process, increasing the plate thickness and/or the number of stiffeners may be a simple solution, but it may give rise to problems related to cost and weight. In this study, the welding distortion control effect of the type of stiffeners on the door openings of various living quarter structures was investigated using an experimental method and a finite element method. The results showed the feasibility of mitigating and controlling the welding distortion, and the optimum selection of the type of stiffeners was confirmed.

A numerical procedure is described for predicting the motion and structural responses of the very large floating offshore structures supported by multiple 3-D floating bodies of arbitrary shape in multi-directional irregular waves. The developed numerical approach taking into account of the hydrodynamic interactions among the multiple floating bodies is based on a combination of the 3-D source distribution method, the wave interaction theory, the finite element method and the spectral analysis method to get the significant values of the dynamic responses in the multi-directional irregular waves. The effects of wave interactions and directionality on the dynamic responses of a very large offshore structure, which is semisubmersible ring type, are numerically examined.

Hydrogen embrittlement in metals has been a serious issue with regard to structural safety. In this study, molecular dynamics simulations revealed that the aggregation of hydrogen atoms at the crack tips suppresses the dislocation emission and thus results in cleavage fracture. A series of molecular dynamics simulations were performed considering factors such as the concentration of hydrogen atoms, loading rate, and diffusion coefficient. We investigated the conditions that minimize hydrogen embrittlement. The simulation results were consistent with the experimental results and used to quantify hydrogen embrittlement.

The development of marine technology is expected to increase the demand for marine plants because of increasing oil prices. Therefore, there is also expected to be an increase in the demand for cylindrical structures such as URF (umbilical, riser, flowline) structures and spars, which are used operating in various seas. However, a cylindrical structure experiences vortex induced motion (VIM) in a current. In particular, for risers and umbilicals, it is important to identify the characteristics of the VIM because interference between structures can occur. In addition, various studies have been conducted to reduce VIM because it is the cause of fatigue damage to structures. The helical strake, which was developed for VIM reduction, has an excellent VIM reduction performance, but is difficult to install on structures and has a negative effect on heave motion. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to supplement the shortcomings of the helical strake and develop a high-performance reduction device. In the reduction device developed in this study, a string is placed around the structure inside the flow, causing vibration. The vibration of this string causes a small turbulence in the flow field, reducing the VIM effect on the structure. Finally, in this study, the 2-DOF motion characteristics of models without a suppression device, models with a helical strake, and models with a string were investigated, and their reduction performances were compared through model tests.

In this study, the technique to evaluate the extreme design wave height of certain return period is developed from the given measured or hindcasted sea state data of concerned area for limited period. By using the order statistics and Monte Carlo Simulation method, the best fit probability distribution function with proper parameters describing the given wave height data is chosen, from which extreme design wave height can be predicted by extrapolation to the desired return period. The fitness and the confidence limit of the chosen probability function are also discussed. Application calculation is carried out for the wave height data given by applying the Wilson wave model theory to major 50 typhoon wind data affecting Korean South coast during the year from 1938 to 1987.

Al-Mg 합금은 비중이 적고 강도가 우수하기 때문에 해양 환경에서 구조용 재료로 많이 사용되고 있으며, 특히 선박용 재료로 사용될 경우 선체의 중량을 줄일 수 있어 연료비가 절감되며 선속의 고속화가 가능하다. 그러나 해양환경에서의 재료 특성에 관한 지식 및 관련 기술 부족으로 알루미늄 선박 건조는 활성화 되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 알루미늄 합금은 공기 중에서는 우수한 내식성을 지니는 것으로 알려져 있으나 해수환경에서는 염소이온에 의한 부동태 피막 파괴로 인해 내식성이 저하되며 공식 및 응력부식균열 등에 의한 손상이 발생할 수 있다. 특히 용접부의 경우, 모재에 비해 부식손상에 취약하며 기공과 같은 용접 결함을 포함하고 있어 구조물 파괴의 시발점이 될 수 있으므로 선박 및 구조물 건조시 대비가 필요하다. 그러나 이에 관한 충분한 연구가 이루어지지 않아 국내 중소형 조선소의 경우 알루미늄 선박 건조에 어려움을 겪는 경우가 많다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 선박 건조 및 해양 구조물에 널리 사용되는 Al 5083-H321 합금 용접부에 대하여 해수 내 부식 특성을 연구하고자 한다. 부식특성 파악을 위한 전기화학적 실험에 앞서 화학적 에칭을 통해 미세부위별 실험을 수행하였다. 기준전극은 은/염화은 전극을 대극은 백금전극을 사용하였으며, 타펠 분석을 위한 분극실험은 OCP를 기준으로 -0.25 ~ +0.25 V까지 실시하였고 양극분극실험은 OCP ~ +3.0 V까지 실시하였다. 양극분극 실험 후 부식된 표면은 주사전자현미경과 3D 분석을 통해 용접부 조직에 따른 전기화학적 특성을 관찰하였다.
