Analysis of ship parametric roll has generally been restricted to simple analytical models and sophisticated time domain simulations. Simple analytical models do not capture all the critical dynamics while time-domain simulations are often time consuming to implement. The model presented in this paper captures the essential dynamics of the system without over simplification. This work incorporates various important aspects of the system and assesses the significance of including or ignoring these aspects. Special consideration is given to the fact that a hull form asymmetric about the design waterline would not lead to a perfectly harmonic variation in metacentric height. Many of the previous works on parametric roll make the assumption of linearized and harmonic behaviour of the time-varying restoring arm or metacentric height. This assumption enables modelling the roll motion as a Mathieu equation. This paper provides a critical assessment of this assumption and suggests modelling the roll motion as a Hills equation. Also the effects of non-linear damping are included to evaluate its effect on the bounded parametric roll amplitude in a simplified manner.

Pitting corrosion commonly shaped in hull structure due to marine corrosive environment seriously causes the deterioration of structural performance. This paper deals with the ultimate strength behaviors of stiffened ship panels damaged by the pits subjected to uniaxial compression. A series of no-linear finite element analyses are carried out for three stiffened panels using ABAQUS software. Influences of the investigated typical parameters of pit degree (DOP), depth, location and distribution on the ultimate strength strength are discussed in detail. It is found that the ultimate strength is significantly reduced with increasing the DOP and pit depth and severely affected by the distribution. In addition, the pits including their distributions on the web have a slight effect on the ultimate strength. Compared with regular distribution, random one on the panel result in a change of collapse mode. Finally, an empirical formula as a function of corrosion volume loss is proposed for predicting the ultimate strength of stiffened panel.

An Arctic Spar is characterized by its conical shape near the waterline. In this case, the nonlinear effects from its irregular hull shape would be significant if there is either a large amplitude floater motion or steep wave conditions. Therefore, in this paper, the nonlinear effects of an Arctic Spar are numerically investigated by introducing a weakly nonlinear time-domain model that considers the time dependent hydrostatic restoring stiffness and Froude-Krylov forces. Through numerical simulations under multiple regular and irregular wave conditions, the nonlinear behavior of the Arctic Spar is clearly observed, but it is not shown in the linear analysis. In particular, it is found that the nonlinear Froude-Krylov force plays an important role when the wave frequency is close to the heave natural frequency. In addition, the nonlinear hydrostatic restoring stiffness causes the structure's unstable motion at a half of heave natural period.

Top tensioned riser (TTR) is often used in a floating oil/gas production system deployed in deep water for oil/gas transport. This study focuses on the extension of the existing numerical code, known as CABLE3D, to allow for static and dynamic simulation of a TTR connected to a floating structure through a tensioner system or buoyancy can, and restrained by riser guides at different elevations. A tensioner system usually consists of three to six cylindrical tensioners. Although the stiffness of individual tensioner is assumed to be linear, the resultant stiffness of a tensioner system may be nonlinear. The vertical friction between a TTR and the hull at its riser guide is neglected assuming rollers are installed there. Near the water surface, a TTR is forced to move horizontally due to the motion of the upper deck of a floating structure as well as related riser guides. The extended CABLE3D is then integrated into a numerical code, known as COUPLE, for the simulation of the dynamic interaction among the hull of a floating structure, such as spar or TLP, its mooring system and riser system under the impact of wind, current and waves. To demonstrate the application of the extended CABLE3D and its integration with COUPLE, the numerical simulation is made for a truss spar under the impact of Hurricane "Ike". The mooring system of the spar consists of nine mooring lines and the riser system consists of six TTRs and two steel catenary risers (SCRs).

The change of the global performance of a turret-moored FPSO (Floating Production Storage Offloading) with DP (Dynamic Positioning) control is simulated, analyzed, and compared for two different internal turret location cases; bow and midship. Both collinear and non-collinear 100-yr GOM (Gulf of Mexico) storm environments and three cases (mooring-only, with DP position control, with DP position+heading control) are considered. The horizontal trajectory, 6DOF (degree of freedom) motions, fairlead mooring and riser tension, and fuel consumptions are compared. The PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) controller based on LQR (linear quadratic regulator) theory and the thrust-allocation algorithm which is based on the penalty optimization theory are implemented in the fully-coupled time-domain hull-mooring-riser-DP simulation program. Both in collinear and non-collinear 100-yr WWC (wind-wave-current) environments, the advantage of mid-ship turret is demonstrated by the significant reduction in heave at the turret location due to the minimal coupling with pitch mode, which is beneficial to mooring and riser design. However, in the non-collinear WWC environment, the mid-turret case exhibits unfavorable weathervaning characteristics, which can be reduced by employing DP position and heading controls as demonstrated in the present case studies. The present study also reveals the plausible cause of the failure of mid-turret Gryphon Alpha FPSO in milder environment than its survival condition.

Differences in the filling amount of substrates in container can influence severely on the soil physical properties and crop growth. This research was conducted to secure the fundamental informations related to the changes in soil physical properties as influenced by the filling amount of coir dust-based substrates in container. For the experiment, three substrates were formulated by blending coir dust (CD) with expanded rice hull (CD+ERH, 8:2, v/v), carbonized rice hull (CD+CRH, 6:4, v/v) or ground and aged pine bark (CD+GAPB, 8:2, v/v). Based on the optimum bulk density, the amount of substrates filled in 347.5mL aluminum cylinder were adjusted to 90, 100, 110, 120, and 130%. Then the changes in total porosity (TP), container capacity (CC), and air-filled porosity (AFP) by various filling amounts were measured. The TP decreased linearly in CD+ERH and CD+GAPB and quadratically in CD+CRH as the filling amounts of the media increased from 90% to 130%. The CC in CD+ERH and CD+GAPB media increased as the filling amount increased from 90% to 120%, then decreased in 130%, showing quadratic change. The CC in CD+CRH was the highest in 90% filling amount and decreased gradually as the filling amount of root medea increased. The AFPs in CD+ERH and CD+GAPB media were 38 and 37%, respectively in 90% filling amount and they decreased drastically until 110% filling, then gradually in 120 and 130% filling amount showing the quadratic changes. The AFP of CD+CRH at 90% filling amount was 22% and it decreased as the filling amount increased until 130%, showing linear change. These results indicate that the increase in filling amount of substrates influenced more severely the AFP than CC, and careful consideration on container filling is required to provide a better root condition thus maximize crop growth.

본 논문에서는 배경의 움직임이 유발되는 능동 CCD 카메라를 통하여 실시간으로 포착되는 영상 데이터를 대상으로 카메라의 사전 설치 정보나 좌표 보정(calibration) 없이 강체(rigid body) 혹은 비 강체(non-rigid body)의 움직이는 물체를 추출하고 이의 이동 방향을 판단하여, 추적하는 효율적인 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이동 물체의 영역분할을 위하여 동체의 형태를 규정하는 특징 점을 추출하고, 시간에 따른 특징 점의 이동 벡터로 구성된 특정 플로우 필드(feature flow field)를 구한 후 이들을 다차원 특정 공간상에서 군집화(clustering)함으로써 동체를 추출한다. 제안하는 IRMAS(lncremenatal Rotational Minimum Angle Search)에 의하여 군집화된 특정점들의 볼록 다각형(convex hull)올 구함으로써 이동 물체의 개괄적인 외곽 형태를 재 구성한다. 또한, 이동 궤적의 갑작스러운 변화를 가져올 수 있는 동작 특성을 가지는 이동 물체의 효과적인 추적을 목적으로 개선된 선형 예측기를 사용하였다. 이동 궤적 예측기는 기존의 선형 예측기의 차수를 이동의 변화도에 따라 적응적으로 조정함으로써 예측 오차를 감소시켜, 빠른 속도로 이동 궤적에 수렴한다.

다각형 내부에 위치한 두 점 사이의 최단 경로는 다각형의 외부를 지나지 않는 경로 중에서 길이가 가장 짧은 경로를 말한다. 일반적인 단순 다각형에서 최단 경로를 구하는 선형 시간 알고리즘은 매우 복잡한 과정으로 알려진 삼각분할을 전처리과정으로 수행해야 한다. 따라서 이론적으로는 최적인 시간복잡도를 갖지만, 실제적으로는 구현이 어려울 뿐만 아니라 입력의 크기가 매우 크지 않은 한 수행 시간이 효율적이지 못하다. 본 논문에서는 다각형 내부의 모든 점들을 볼 수 있는 선분이 존재하는 다각형 부류인 선분가시 다각형의 내부에 위치한 두 점 사이의 최단 경로를 구하는 선형 시간 알고리즘을 제시한다. 이 알고리즘은 삼각 분할을 필요로 하지 않으며, 볼록 외피 구축 등 단순한 절차만으로 구성되어 있어 구현이 용이할 뿐만 아니라 수행 속도도 빠르다

To compare and evaluate the suitability and comfort levels of the environment on board a stern trawl training ship, KAYA(GT: 1737 tons, Pukyong National University), with the international standardization guide ISO 6954:2000(E), measurements of the hull vibration on accommodation areas and working areas of the training ship from July 8 to July 10, 2008 were completed upon KAYA's linear sea route. The vibrations along the z-axis were measured with the use of a 3-axis vibration level meter, which included a marine vibration card. Results show accelerations of the vibrations on the passenger's accommodation area to be 42.0-115.8(average: 78.0, standard deviation(SD): 21.0) mm/$s^2$, which is largely below the permissible upper limit, but 75 % of the observation points exceeded the permissible lower limit of 71.5 mm/$s^2$, indicating a comfortable environment. The accelerations of the vibration in a frequency of 10-24Hz lowering the visual performance were measured at 2.5-12.0(average: 7.6, SD: 3.1) mm/$s^2$. The crew s accommodation area experienced vibration accelerations of 42.9-82.3(average: 93.1, SD: 53.1) mm/$s^2$, which is generally below the permissible upper limit of 214.0 mm/$s^2$, and 62.5% of the observation points did not exceed the permissible lower limit of 107.0 mm/$s^2$, denoting a level of comfort. The acceleration of the vibration in a frequency of 10-24Hz were 4.7-28.3(average: 12.4, SD: 8.8) mm/$s^2$. On the crew s working area the accelerations were measured at 86.9-153.9(average 119.3, SD 18.0) mm/$s^2$. These values were generally below the permissible upper limit of 286.0 mm/$s^2$ and only 12.5% of the observation points did not exceed the permissible lower limit of 143.0 mm/$s^2$, the level at which a high level of comfort is maintained. The accelerations in frequency of 10-24Hz and 30Hz were 9.1-29.8 (average 13.8, SD= 4.5) mm/$s^2$ and 8.9-13.7 (average 11.8, SD 2.1) mm/$s^2$, respectively. In conclusion the boarding environment of the training ship was good in general although an improvement of the vibration condition partially needed on the crew s accommodation area near the engine room.

본 연구에서는 너클 라인이 다수 존재하면서 안팎 형상이 비대칭으로 설계된 특이점을 갖는 쌍동선의 자항성능을 예측하기 위해 CFD 해석을 수행하였고, 해석 기법에 따른 차이를 파악하기 위해 MRF(Moving Reference Frame) 기법과 SDM(Sliding Mesh) 기법을 적용하였다. MRF 기법을 적용한 경우에는 time step당 프로펠러를 1˚ 회전시켰고, SDM 기법의 경우 10˚, 5˚, 1˚씩 회전시키며 각 기법별 예측된 자항성능을 비교하였다. 자항점 추정을 위한 몇 가지 프로펠러 회전수에서의 해석 결과 중 프로펠러의 토크는 기법에 따른 차이가 거의 없었지만 추력 및 선체가 받는 저항은 MRF 기법보다는 SDM 기법을 적용했을 때 더 낮게, SDM 기법의 time step당 프로펠러 회전각이 작을수록 높게 계산되었다. 선형 내삽을 통해 추정된 자항점의 프로펠러 회전수, 추력, 토크와 실선 확장법을 사용해 추정된 실선의 전달동력, 반류 계수, 추력 감소 계수 및 프로펠러 회전수도 동일한 경향을 보였으며, 대부분의 자항효율은 반대의 경향을 보였다. 프로펠러 후류의 경우 MRF 기법을 적용했을 때 정확도가 떨어졌고, SDM 기법의 time step당 프로펠러 회전각에 따라 표현되는 후류의 차이는 거의 없었다.
