In general, cylindrically curved plates are used in ships and offshore structures such as wind towers, spa structures, fore and aft side shell plating, and bilge circle parts in merchant vessels. In a number of studies, it has been shown that curvature increases the buckling strength of a plate under compressive loading, and the ultimate load-carrying capacity is also expected to increase. In the present paper, a series of elastic and elastoplastic large deflection analyses were performed using the commercial finite element analysis program (MSC.NASTRAN/PATRAN) in order to clarify and examine the fundamental buckling and collapse behaviors of curved plates subjected to combined axial compression and lateral pressure. On the basis of the numerical results, the effects of curvature, the magnitude of the initial deflection, the slenderness ratio, and the aspect ratio on the characteristics of the buckling and collapse behavior of the curved plates are discussed. On the basis of the calculated results, the design formula was developed to predict the buckling and ultimate strengths of curved plates subjected to combined loads in an analytical manner. The buckling strength behaviors were simulated by performing elastic large deflection analyses. The newly developed formulations were applied in order to perform verification analyses for the curved plates by comparing the numerical results, and then, the usefulness of the proposed method was demonstrated.

선박 수리시장은 선박에 의한 환경오염 방지 강화, 선박구조에 대한 안전기준 강화 등의 영향으로 유지 및 보수에 관한 관심이 꾸준히 증대되고 있다. 이러한 영향을 반영하여 서남해에 있는 수리 조선사들에 외국 선사들의 수리 요청 접수 건수가 증가하고 있다. 그러나, 서남해권 수리 조선사들은 영세한 중소업체가 대부분이라서 수리조선 업체의 통합적 시너지 효과로 이어지기가 쉽지 않고, 집적화가 되어있지 않아서 인프라 공동활용이 어려워서 수리조선업 활성화에 걸림돌로 작용하고 있다. 수리조선업을 운영하기 위해서는 플로팅 도크가 필수적으로 필요로 하며, 대부분 노후화된 케이슨 도크를 해외로부터 수입한 후, 개/보수를 통하여 운용하고 있다. 그러나, 사용 수명이 30년 이상이고, 구조물 검사 기준이 없어서 안전분야에 취약성을 갖고 있다. 본 연구에서는 개조된 케이슨 도크의 구조 안전성을 평가하고, 도출된 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 추가적인 구조 보강안을 찾기 위하여 유한요소해석 프로그램인 ANSYS를 활용하였다. 플로팅 도크의 경우, 선급 규정이 있지만 구조강도 관련해서는 규정이 미흡하여 적용성이 떨어지고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 부족한 평가 영역에 대해서는 상세 구조해석을 통하여 보완하였다. 보강안은 수리조선소 작업의 특성을 고려하여 폰툰 갑판 상부 보강과 선측 탱크 보강으로 결정하였다. 결정안에 대한 구조해석을 통하여 선측 보강안을 최종안을 선정하였고, 실제 구조물을 제작하여 보강안을 반영하였다. 도출된 주요 결과들은 유사 설비의 구조 강도 개선을 위한 참고 자료로 활용 가능하며, 개/보수 시 이러한 방법을 활용하면 빨리 최적 해를 찾을 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Radiant heat shields are normally installed on offshore oil and gas platforms to protect personnel, equipment, and structures from the thermal radiation emitted by a flare system. A heat shield should be individually designed to reduce the thermal radiation to the target level, and then manufactured and installed after the performance verification. However, in general, a heat shield is designed and manufactured by trial and error based on the performance test. For this reason, it is difficult to develop and design radiant heat shields in the Korean shipbuilding and marine equipment industry because of the lack of performance test data and limited experience. In the present study, the results of experiments conducted to verify the performances of radiant heat shields were analyzed, and the thermal radiation characteristics and performance characteristics of the radiant heat shields were investigated. The insights and conclusions developed in the present study will be useful in terms of the design and development of radiant heat shield, as well as in their performance verification tests.

The structural intensity analysis, which calculates the magnitude and direction of vibrational energy flow from vibratory velocity and internal force at any point of a structure, can give information on dominant transmission paths, positions of sources and sinks of vibration energy. This paper presents a numerical simulation system for structural intensity analysis and visualization to apply for ship structures based on the finite element method. The system consists of a general purpose finite element analysis program MSC/Nastran, its pre- and post-processors and an in-house program module to calculate structural intensity using the model data and its forced vibration analysis results. Using the system, the structural intensity analysis for a 4,100 TEU container carrier is carried out to visualize structural intensity fields on the global ship structure and to investigate dominant energy flow paths from harmonic excitation sources to superstructure at resonant hull girder and superstructure modes.

In this paper, different evaluation methods of Hot Spot Stresses (HSS) have been applied to four different welded structure details in order to compare them and to illustrate their differences. The HSSs at failure-critical locations were calculated by means of a series of finite element analyses. There was good overall agreement between calculated and experimentally determined HSS on the critical locations. While different methods and procedures exist for the computation of the structural hot-spot stress at welded joints, the recommendations within the International Institute of Welding (IIW) guideline concerning the 'Hot Spot Stress' approach were found to give good reference stress approximations for fatigue-loaded welded joints. This paper recommends and suggests an appropriate finite element modeling and hot spot stress evaluation technique based on round-robin stress analyses and experimental results of several welded structure details.

The riser systems for floating offshore structures are known to experience tri-modal dynamic responses. These are owing to the combined loadings from the low-frequency response due to riser tension behavior, middle-range frequency response coming from winds and waves, and high-frequency response due to vortex induced-vibration. In this study, fatigue damage models were applied to predict the fatigue damages in a well-separated tri-modal spectrum, and the resultant fatigue damages of each model were compared with the most reasonable fatigue damage calculated by the inverse Fourier transform of the spectrum, rain-flow counting method, and Palmgren-Miner rule as a reference. The results show that the fatigue damage models developed for a wide-band spectrum are applicable to the tri-modal spectrum, and both the Benasciutti-Tovo and JB models could most accurately predict the fatigue damages of the tri-modal spectrum responses.

Cathodic protection technology has been widely used on ship's outer hull and inner side of ballast water tanks as a supplementary corrosion protection measure in combination with protective organic coatings. Impressed current cathodic protection system is typically opted for the ship's hull and, sacrificial anode system, for ballast water tanks. The anticipation and interest in cathodic protection system for ships has been surprisingly low-eyed to date in comparison with protective coatings. Computational analysis for the verification of cathodic protection design has been tried sometimes for offshore marine structures, however, in commercial shipbuilding section, decades old design practice is still applied, and no systematic or analytical verification work has been done for that. In this respect, over-rotection from un-erified initial design protocol has been also concerned by several experts. Especially, it was frequently reported in sacrificial anode system that even after full design life time, anode was remaining nearly intact. Another issue for impressed current system, for example, is that the anode shield area design for ship's outer hull should be compromised with actual application situation, because the state-of-the-art design equation is quite impractical from the applicator's stand. Besides that, in this study, some other critical design issues for sacrificial anode and impressed current cathodic protection system were discussed.

As a container vessel becomes larger, the bow flare becomes larger. The large bow flare structures are often subjected to dynamic pressure loads due to bow flare slamming occurring in rough seas. The aim of this paper is to investigate the characteristics of bow flare slamming pressure measured in a real voyage through the North Pacific Ocean. The characteristics of impact pressure load caused by slamming is addressed in terms of the pressure pulse-time history which involves rising time, peak pressure, decaying time and type of pressure decay. The values were presented using non-dimensional parameters.

본 연구는 유전 알고리듬, 타부탐색법 그리고 반응표면법등 최근 많이 사용하고 있는 프로그램들의 장점들을 결합한 새로운 조합 유전 알고리듬을 제안한다. 본 알고리듬은 반응표면법 및 심플렉스법을 사용하여 유전알고리듬의 약점으로 여겨지는 수렴속도를 항상시키도록 하였다. 또한 유전 알고리듬에서 램덤한 다양성을 제공하지만, 본 연구에서는 타부리스트를 이용하여 체계적인 다양성을 추구하도록 하였다. 그리고 전통적인 시험함수에 본 알고리듬을 적용함으로써 본 방법의 효율성을 입증하였고 그 결과를 유전 알고리듬의 결과와 비교하였다. 또한 새롭게 제안된 알고리듬을 선미부에 위치한 청수탱크의 중량최적화에 적용한 길과 전역최적해를 효율적으로 찾는 것을 입증하였다. 또한 반응표면법을 사용한 새로운 유전알고리듬의 경우 실제 추가적인 목적함수를 평가하기 위한 계산이 필요 없으므로 수렴속도가 일반 유전 알고리듬보다 향상 되었음을 알 수 있었다. 마지막으로 제안된 조합 유전 알고리듬은 전역탐색능력과 수렴속도 측면에서 매우 강력한 전역 최적화 알고리듬임을 알 수 있었다.

Recently, the production of shipbuilding and offshore plant industries, with a trend toward large structures, has led to an increased use of high strength ultra-thick plates. The use of ultra-thick plates increases the welding tasks, and the welding process generates distortion and residual stress in the weldment because of the rapid heating and cooling. Welding distortion and residual stress in the welded structure resulte in many troubles such as deformation and life deterioration. In particular, the welding residual stress has an important effect on welding deformation, fatigue, buckling strength, brittleness, etc. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the residual stress at a multi-pass weldment using an experimental method for EH36 high-tension steel. In this experimental method, AIS3000 was used to measure the residual stress of a welded part, HAZ, and base metal; EPMA and XRD were used to study the material properties.
