A series of detailed study was performed to identify the sources of the propeller blade failure and resolve the problem systematically, by use of the theoretical tools and by the direct measurement and observation in the full-scale sea trials. The selection of inexperienced propulsion control system with a reversible gear system is shown to cause the serious damage to the propeller blades in crash astern maneuver, when the rotational direction of the propeller is changed rapidly. Quasi-steady analysis for propeller blade strength using FEM code in bollard backing condition indicates that the safety factor should be order of 18∼20 to avoid the structural failure for the selected propeller geometry and reduction gear system.

A strength problem of propeller blades for large container ships at astern condition has been occasionally reported due to the application of a highly skewed propeller which can reduce the hull surface fluctuation forces. A finite element analysis code for propeller blade was developed and utilized since 1985. Recently, however, further fine mesh modeling for finite element analysis is required to yield higher accuracy in the analysis. The present study shows an application of FE analysis code to the highly skewed propeller for large container ships. Results of FE analysis show that the number of FE mesh affects largely on strength, and also the calculated strength with fine mesh gives good agreements to those of other FEM codes. A method to enlarge strength near the trailing edge was introduced considering the strength criterion on the blade.

The traditional theory regarding the pivot point of a ship during maneuvering, so called apparent pivot point, is located nearly at 1/3 ship's length from the bow when the ship is moving ahead, and between 1/4 ship's length from the stern and the rudder post when going astern. The pivot point is sometimes considered to be the centre of leverage for forces acting on the ship. However, the pivot point is located out of ship due to strong lateral force, such as current and it is very inconvenient to use during maneuvering a ship. In this paper firstly, pivot points due to ship's condition are investigated carefully. And then the center of lateral resistance used at the present are determined. While a new lateral force is added, we can compare the pivot point with the center of lateral forces. Finally, we will suggest the center of all lateral forces for maneuvering instead of pivot point. Especially, it will be very helpful for pilots to handle ships in simulation.

In this paper, a numerical analysis technique using a body force model is investigated to estimate the available net thrust of multi-pod-driven ice-breaking vessels under bollard pull and overload conditions. To employ the body force model in present flow simulations, drag and thrust components acting on the pod unit are calculated by using Propeller Open Water (POW) test data. The available net thrusts according to the direction of operation are evaluated in both bollard pull and overload conditions under deep water. The simulation results are compared with the model test data. The available net thrusts, calculated by the present analysis for ahead operating modes at 3~6 knots which are typical speeds of the target vessel in arctic field, are agreed well with the model test results. It is also found that the present result for astern operating mode appears approximately 6 % larger than the model test result. In addition, the available net thrusts are calculated under the both operating conditions accompanied by shallow water effects, and the main cause of the difference is studied. Based on the result of the present study, it is confirmed that the body force model can be applied to the performance evaluation of multi-pod propulsion system and the main engine selection in early design stage of the vessel.

해양사고 원인의 대부분을 차지하고 있는 인적오류에 의한 운항과실에는 관련 지식의 결여, 잘못 이해하고 있는 지식, 적용절차의 미숙 등을 들 수 있다. 최근 해양경찰 경비함정에 장착되고 있는 추진기 형태를 살펴보면, 해상치안 수요에 따라 다양화 되고 있는 추세이다. 특히, 소형 경비정에 주로 장착되었던 워터제트 추진기가 중대형 경비함으로 점차 확대되어 전체 함정의 50%에 이르고 있으며, 축 형식은 2에서 4축, 버켓 유형도 전후진과 조향 제어방식이 전혀 다른 '이중역전버켓'과 '단일역전버켓' 방식으로 구분된다. 이러한 운항체계의 다양화는 운항자의 인적과실 요인을 증가시킬 수 있다. 그러나 워터제트 유형별 고유의 특성에 알맞은 조종법의 연구는 부족한 편이다. 이 논문에서는 워터제트 유형별 후진성능을 기반으로 외력의 도움 없이 해양경찰 전용부두의 요건에 적합한 횡이동 방법을 분석하였다. 이어서, 선박조종시뮬레이터를 활용하여 실험하고, 실험이 곤란한 워터제트 방식 함정은 함정장들의 인터뷰를 통하여 비교 검증하였다. 이를 기반으로 워터제트 운항 지식의 올바른 습득과 기술적 측면의 인적오류를 최소화하여 해상치안활동에 기반인 함정의 안전운항에 기여하고자 한다.
