Recently, with the strengthening of environmental regulations, there has been an increasing interest in eco-friendly energy sources, leading to a trend of the increasing scale of Cargo Containment Systems (CCS) for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) carriers. Among these systems, membrane tanks have gained popularity in LNG transport vessels due to their superior spatial utilization and competitiveness. However, due to high initial investment costs and the difficulty in repair in case of damage, a safety layer, the secondary barrier, must be installed without fail. In this study, in order to apply a new secondary barrier to the existing membrane-type LNG CCS, tests were conducted on the fiberglass layer previously used in the Triplex-Flexible Secondary Barrier (FSB), substituting it with basalt fiber. Tensile and vertical tensile tests were performed to assess the newly applied material. Environmental tests were conducted at room temperature (25℃) and extremely low temperatures (-170℃), considering the temperatures to which substances may be exposed during LNG vessel operations. The basalt-FSB produced in this study demonstrated superior results compared to the specifications of the existing product, confirming its potential applicability for implementation.

A new concept of membrane type LNG CCS was proposed. Also, its static behavior was numerically analyzed considering the interaction between primary and secondary barrier together with securing device. Hull deflection was taken into account as an external load, together with temperature distribution across the barriers. The suggested numerical model considers both sliding and contact between the two mating surfaces of both the primary and secondary barrier, and anisotropic material behavior of plywood, R-PUF was also taken into account. Furthermore, detailed local strength was evaluated for the securing device, which is arranged between two barriers to hold the primary barrier. It was confirmed through the numerical analysis that the new concept of membrane type CCS was structurally safe under static loading condition and securing concept was structurally reliable.

본 논문에서는 액화천연가스 운송을 위해 사용되는 맴브레인형 Mark III 화물창 시스템의 주요 구조물인, 방열 판 구조물의 파손 강도 평가를 수행한 내용을 다루고 있다. Mark III 방열 판 구조물을 복합적층 구조물로 고려하였으며 상용화된 범용 유한요소 프로그램인 MSC사의 PATRAN과 MARC를 사용하여 Mark III 방열 판 구조물의 유한요소 모델을 개발하였다. 특히, 액화천연가스 화물의 특성으로 인해 Mark III 방열 판 구조물이 접하는 상온에서 극저온에 이르는 광범위한 온도 분포에 따른 재료 물성치 변화를 유한요소 모델에 포함하였다. 이 유한요소 모델을 기반으로 파손 강도 평가 절차가 확립되었으며, 이 때 Mark III 방열 판 구조물의 파손 발생 여부를 판단하기 위해 Hashin, Hill, Hoffman, maximum stress, 그리고 Tsai-Wu와 같은 이방성 파손 기준들을 사용하였다. Mark III 방열 판 구조물의 전반적인 구조적 거동을 이해하였으며 이후 초기 파손 영역에서 강도 평가를 수행하여 파손이 발생되었을 때의 위치와 하중 등을 알 수 있었다.

대형의 유체-구조물 연계시스템(FSI) 해석을 위해 많은 수치기법들이 있지만, 유체의 슬로싱에 의해 발생되는 집중적이고 불규칙한 동수압의 영향 때문에, 신뢰할 수 있는 수치 결과와 수치안정성을 확보하기 위해 매우 조밀한 메쉬를 필요로 한다. 그 결과, 신뢰할 수 있는 장기적인 시간 응답을 구하기 위한 수치해석은 상당히 많은 CPU 시간을 요구한다. 본 논문의 목적은 국부 상세 모델을 이용하여 LNG운반선의 화물창 시스템의 유탄성적 거동을 해석하기 위한 전역-국부 해석기법을 제시하고자 한다. 본 논문에서 제시한 해석기법의 타당성을 증명하고 이 기법을 통해 LNG운반선 화물창 시스템의 국부응답을 효율적으로 예측한 결과를 제시하였다.

The secondary barrier of cargo containment for membrane LNG tank is composed of composite materials such as rigid triplex (rigid secondary barrier, RSB) and flexible triplex (flexible secondary barrier, FSB). RSB and FSB are adhered to each other using an epoxy adherent and the quality of the secondary barrier depends on the bonding strength between them. The bonding strength between RSB and FSB is greatly influenced by the surface condition of RSB prior to joining. In this study, the effect of surface condition prior to joining on the joint strength and the fracture mode occurred between RSB and FSB have been examined in order to establish a proper surface treatment method for improving the bonding strength at the temperature of $-170^{\circ}C$.

Lately, high production rate welding processes for Al alloys, which are used as LNG FPSO cargo containment system material, have been developed to overcome the limit of installation and high rework rates. In particular, plasma-metal inert gas (MIG) hybrid (PMH) welding can be used to obtain a higher deposition rate and lower porosity, while facilitating a cleaning effect by preheating and post heating the wire and the base metal. However, an asymmetric undercut and a black-colored deposit are created on the surface of PMH weld in Al alloys. For controlling the surface defect formation, the wire feeding speed and nozzle diameter in the PMH weld was investigated through arc phenomena with high-speed imaging and metallurgical analysis.

Given the inadequate regulatory framework for liquefied hydrogen gas storage tanks on ships and the limitations of the IGC Code, designed for liquefied natural gas, this study introduces a critical assessment procedure to ensure the safety and suitability of such tank designs. This study performed a heat transfer analysis for boil-off gas (BOG) calculations and established separate design load cases to evaluate the yielding and buckling strength. In addition, the study assessed methodologies for both high-cycle and low-cycle fatigue assessments, complemented by comprehensive structural integrity evaluations using finite element analysis. A comprehensive approach was developed to assess the structural integrity of Type C tanks by conducting crack propagation analysis and comparing these results with the IGC Code criteria. The practicality and efficacy of these methods were validated through their application on a 23K-class liquefied hydrogen carrier at the concept design stage. These findings may have important implications for enhancing safety standards and regulatory policies.

멤브레인(membrane) LNG 운반선 화물창(cargo containment)의 공사 작업대인 비계 시스템(scaffolding system)은 다양한 형상의 부재들로 구성된 대형 트러스 구조물이다. 비계 시스템의 설치 기간 및 공정을 단축하기 위해서는 모듈의 탑재 단위를 기존의 2단에서 8단으로 대형화하는 것이 매우 효과적이다. 모듈이 대형화하여 탑재 하중이 증가하면 메인 수직 파이프를 연결해주는 핀(pin)과 홀(hole) 주위의 국부 응력 증가가 예상되므로 구조안전성을 확보하기 위한 사전 평가가 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 인장강도 시험을 통해 파손 취약 부위를 확인하고 이에 대한 구조 안전성을 정량적으로 검토하기 위해 접촉 응력 해석을 수행하였다. 인장강도 시험을 통해 최상부의 수직 방향 파이프에 발생하는 평균 하중 부근에서 홀의 변형이 육안으로 관찰되었으며, 홀 주위의 응력 크기는 접촉 응력 계산을 통해 확인하였다. 접촉 문제를 Herzian 접촉 응력 관점에서 접근하였고, 핀과 홀을 포함하는 부분의 재료 항복강도와 접촉 응력의 비교를 통해 8단 탑재의 가능성을 검토하였다. 결과로서, 기존 재료의 비계를 이용한 8단 탑재 방안은 부적합함을 확인하였으며, 파손 취약 부위에 대한 정량적 구조평가 결과를 바탕으로 8단 탑재 시의 구조안전성 확보를 위한 방안들을 제시하였다.

Consumption of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) has increased due to environmental pollution; therefore, the need for LNG carriers can efficiently transport large quantities of LNG, is increased. In various types of LNG Cargo Containment System (CCS), Membrane-type MARK-III composed of composite materials is generally employed in the construction of an LNG carrier. Among composite materials in a Mark-III system, glass-fiber composites act as a secondary barrier to prevent the inner hull structure from leakage of LNG when the primary barrier is damaged. Nevertheless, several cases of damage to the secondary barriers have been reported and if damage occurs, LNG can flow into the inner hull structure, causing a brittle fracture. To prevent those problems, this study conducted the applicability assessment of composite material manufactured by bonding glass-fiber and aluminum with epoxy resin and increasing layer from three-ply (triplex) to five-ply (pentaplex). Tensile tests were performed in five temperature points (25, -20, -70, -120, and -170℃) considering temperature gradient in CCS. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) analyses were carried out to evaluate the microstructure and thermos-mechanical properties of the pentaplex. The results showed epoxy resin and increasing layer number contributed to improving the mechanical properties over the whole temperature range.
