Corrugated bulkheads for a bulk carrier are divided into watertight bulkheads and deep tank bulkheads. Design of the watertight bulkheads is principally determined by the permissible limit of Classification and IACS requirements. But, the verification of strength through finite element analysis is indispensable for design of the deep tank bulkheads. A stage for stress evaluation of corrugated part is required for optimum structural design of the deep tank bulkheads. Since the finite element analysis for real model requires excessive amount of calculation time, in this study one corrugated structure is replaced with beam element and is idealized as 2 dimensional frame structure connected to upper and lower stool Minimum weight design of the deep tank bulkheads is performed through generalized sloped deflection method(GSDM) as direct calculation method. The purpose of this study is the development of design system for the minimization of steel weight of deep tank bulkheads as well as watertight bulkheads. Discrete variables are used as design variables for the practical design. Evolution strategies(ES) is used as an optimization technique.

Corrugated bulkhead has been adopted for cargo tank bulkheads of commercial vessels such as bulk carriers, product oil carriers and chemical tankers. It is considered that corrugated bulkhead is a preferred structural solution, compared to the flat stiffened bulkhead, due to several advantages such as lower mass, easier maintenance and smaller corrosion problems. Many researches to find the optimum shape of corrugated bulkhead have been mostly carried out for bulk carriers. Compared to corrugated bulkheads of bulk carriers, ones of chemical tankers are more complicated since they are composed of transverse and longitudinal bulkheads, and they are made of higher priced materials. The purpose of this study is the development of minimum weight design method for corrugated bulkhead of chemical tankers. Evolution strategy is applied as an optimization technique. It has been verified from many researches that evolution strategy searches global optimum point prominently by using multi-individual searching technique. Multi-individual searching methods need excessive time if they connect to 3-D finite element model for repetitive structural analyses. In order to resolve this issue, 2-D beam element connected to deck and lower stool is substituted for a corrugated structure in this study. To verify the reliability of the structural responses by idealized 2-D beam model, they have been compared with ones by 3-D finite element model. In this study, optimum design for corrugated bulkhead of 30 K chemical tanker has been carried out, and the results by developed optimum design program have been compared with design data of existing ship. It is found out that optimum design is about 9% lighter than one of existing ship.

최근 산적화물선의 빈번한 침몰사고 발생과 함께 산적화물선의 구조안전성 확보문제가 관심의 대상이 되고 있으며, IMO, 각국 선급협회를 중심으로 구조강도 강화작업이 진행되고 있다. 특히 IMO에서는 산적화물선 침몰사고의 주요 원인중의 하나로 지적되어 온 침수시 파형 횡격벽의 붕괴문제를 방지하기 위해 신조선박뿐만 아니라 기존선박에 대해서도 파형 횡격벽을 보강하도록 하는 규정의 제정을 서두르고 있다. 이 문제와 관련하여 보다 근본적으로는 파형 횡격벽의 최종붕괴 강도 평가방법이 확립되어 있지 않은 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 탄소성 대변형 유한요소 해석기법을 적용하여 파형 횡격벽의 붕괴강도를 계산하기 위한 전용 프로그램을 개발하였으며, 구조모형실험 결과와의 비교를 통하여 개발한 프로그램의 정도와 유용성을 검증하였다.

For a Product Oil Carrier, longitudinal bulkhead as well as transverse one is corrugated shape in general and intersection part of bulkheads is utilized for a pipe trunk. Since lower and upper stools are to be connected with all of longitudinal and transverse bulkheads, they have a uniform height respectively. The purpose of this study is the development of design system for the minimization of total weight of longitudinal and transverse bulkheads at the initial design stage. In this study, the beam element models for longitudinal and transverse corrugated bulkheads are established and they are applied to the structural analysis. For the practical design, the selection and the position of an additional pipe trunk are considered in this study. In addition the required minimum distance between the bracket installed along the web of corrugation at lower stool and the diaphragm is taken into consideration during optimization process. Evolution strategy(ES) is adopted as an optimization technique.

파형격벽은 보강격벽에 비해 많은 장점을 갖고 있어 살물선, 정유운반선, 화학제품 운반선의 화물창 격벽으로 사용되고 있다. 살물선 파형격벽의 최적 파형을 구하기 위한 연구는 비교적 활발하게 수행되어 왔으나, 고가의 재질로 구성되어 최적설계 시 경제적 효과가 가장 클 것으로 예상되는 화학제품 운반선에 대한 연구는 거의 찾아보기 어렵다. 화학제품 운반선의 파형격벽은 크게 수직 파형격벽과 수평 파형격벽으로 구분할 수 있으며, 수평 파형격벽은 다른 선종에서는 볼 수 없는 특별한 형태의 격벽으로 30K급 실적선의 경우 전체 파형격벽의 30% 정도를 차지하고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 화학제품 운반선의 수평 파형격벽에 대한 최소중량설계 방법을 개발하는 것으로, 최적화 기법으로는 진화전략 기법을 도입하여 전체 최소점을 신뢰성 있게 탐색하였고 최적의 결과를 주는 설계변수 값이더라도 현장의 작업성을 위반하면 도태되도록 하여 현장 적용성을 높였다. 또한, 유한요소법에 의한 구조해석을 통해 도출된 최적설계 결과에 대한 구조 안전성을 검증하였다. 최적화 결과에 따른 수평 파형격벽의 설계는 실적선과 비교하여 동등 수준의 구조강도를 확보하면서도 약 14%의 중량 절감 효과를 보였으며, 이에 따라 설계 및 제작 공수를 줄이는데도 크게 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

In past decades, a maximum standard vessel size for chemical tankers is not normally larger than 55,000 TDW due to the characteristic of chemical product shipment which is so variable but small quantity unlike single product carries such as crude oil tankers. These days, as demand of very large chemical tanker is rising due to the change of market trend of chemical product shipment, 75,000 TDW class chemical tanker has been developed. The newly developed vessel's structure has been designed based on CSR (Common Structural Rule) for double hull oil tankers (hereafter CSR) published by IACS (International Association of Classification Societies). However, due to the large difference from typical oil tankers, many items should be specially considered such as on deck transverse and corrugated bulkheads. In addition, two longitudinal bulkheads without upper stool have been constructed in order to maximise the number of cargo tanks and the volume of each cargo tanks. In this study, key word of the vessel has been briefly reviewed and the structural reliability of the proposed vessel has been investigated.
