The maneuvering performance of a ship on the actual sea is very different from that in calm water due to wave-induced motion. Enhancement of a ship's maneuverability in waves at the design stage is an important way to ensure that the ship navigates safely. This paper focuses on the maneuvering prediction of a Russian trawler in wind and irregular waves. First, a unified seakeeping and maneuvering analysis of a Russian trawler is proposed. The hydrodynamic forces acting on the hull in calm water were estimated using empirical formulas based on a database containing information on several fishing vessels. A simulation of the standard maneuvering of the Russian trawler was conducted in calm water, which was checked using the International Maritime Organization (IMO) standards for ship maneuvering. Second, a unified model of seakeeping and maneuvering that considers the effect of wind and waves is proposed. The wave forces were estimated by a three-dimensional (3D) panel program (ANSYS-AQWA) and used as a database when simulating the ship maneuvering in wind and irregular waves. The wind forces and moments acting on the Russian trawler are estimated using empirical formulas based on a database of wind-tunnel test results. Third, standard maneuvering of a Russian trawler was conducted in various directions under wind and irregular wave conditions. Finally, the influence of wind and wave directions on the drifting distance and drifting angle of the ship as it turns in a circle was found. North wind has a dominant influence on the turning trajectory of the trawler.

쇄파는 연안류, 표사이동, 충격파압, 에너지소산 등과 같은 연안에서 발생하는 다양한 물리현상과 직접적인 관계가 있으므로 항만 구조물의 설계시 반드시 고려되어야 하는 중요한 설계인자 중 하나이다. 쇄파에 대한 연구들은 쇄파가 가진 고유의 복잡성으로 인해 주로 수리모형실험을 통해 쇄파파고와 쇄파수심 등과 같은 쇄파지표를 예측하기 위한 많은 경험식이 제안되어 왔다. 하지만, 기존의 쇄파지표에 대한 경험식은 일정한 방정식의 가정하에 자료의 통계적 분석을 통해 가정한 방정식의 계수들을 결정하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 회귀 혹은 분류문제와 관련된 다양한 연구분야에 있어서 높은 예측성능을 보여주는 대표적인 선형기반의 머신러닝 기법을 적용하여 천수변형에 의해 발생하는 쇄파의 한계파고를 산정하기 위한 새로운 Munk형식의 경험식을 제안하였다. 새롭게 제안된 쇄파지표식은 단순한 형태의 다항식에도 불구하고 기존의 경험공식과 유사한 예측성능을 보였다.

As ships operating on the Arctic route are exposed to various ice environments such as level ice, pre-swan, pack ice, ice ridge and brash ice, it is essential to estimate the ice resistance according to the ice environment. Methods for estimating the ice resistance include a method using mathematical model, numerical simulation, and a method using empirical formula. In this study, empirical formulas are used to estimate the ice resistance. The purpose of this study is to develop the ice resistance and attainable speed estimation program(I-RES) for brash ice. To develop the Brash ice attainable speed estimation algorithm, the environmental characteristics of the brash ice were analyzed, and the results of I-RES were evaluated by comparing the model test results of brash ice. The accuracy of I-RES for brash ice is around 20% in this study but it will be more developed near future with accumulating more model test results and calculation results.

유량측정방법 중에서 파샬플륨을 이용하는 방법은 유속이 매우 느리거나 토사유입이 많은 지점에서 상대적으로 유리하다. 국제표준화기구(ISO : International Organization for Standardization)에 파샬플륨의 규모별 규격화된 경험식이 제시되어 있지만, 규격을 따르지 않는 파샬플륨에 대한 수리실험이나 수치모의를 통한 연구는 다소 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 ISO 규격 파샬플륨에 대하여 경험식과 수치모의를 비교하여 파샬플륨에 대한 수치모의의 적정성을 검토하였고 현장 여건 등의 이유로 ISO 규격을 따르지 않는 파샬플륨은 유량산정공식을 얻기 위해서 수리실험을 수행해야만 했다. 이러한 임의형상의 파샬플륨에 대하여 동일 조건의 수리실험 및 수치모의 결과를 비교 검토하였다. 그 결과 수치모의가 파샬플륨의 수심과 유량을 적절하게 모의하고 있음을 확인하였다. 이 결과를 이용하여 임의형상에 대한 무차원 유량산정공식을 도출하였으며, 식을 통해 산정된 값과 실험값을 비교하였다. 그 결과 오차는 최대 2.3%로 나타났다. 파샬플륨의 규모결정시 실제 지형과 유입부 형상 등을 고려한 수치모의를 수행한다면 수치모의에 기초한 유량산정공식을 쉽게 도출 할 수 있을 것이다. 또한, 복잡한 수행과정으로 인해 오차가 발생하기 쉬운 수리모형실험을 경제적으로 보완할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Helical magneto-cumulative generators(MCGs) are devices which convert explosive energy into electromagnetic energy. The electromagnetic energy supplied from an external circuit is amplified by an explosively driven metal conductor mounted at the center of a helical coil compressing magnetic flux between the conductor and the coil. To optimize the coil design, output properties of small-size helical MCGs were measured while varying design parameters; the number of coil sections, length of the sections, pitch in the sections, and type of copper wire. Dimensions of the coil were kept constant, 50 mm in diameter and 200 mm in length. The coil was fabricated by using enamel-coated copper wire of 1 mm in diameter. The highest energy amplification ratio and figure of merit were 52.5 and 0.81, respectively. from an helical MCG with initial inductance of 63.7 $\mu$H at initial energy of 0.152 kJ Based on the experimental and calculated results, empirical formulas capable of optimizing coil designs were derived. By using these formulas, pitch in each coil section can be obtained at an arbitrary inductive load for high energy amplification ratio and figure of merit.

This paper presents a number of approximated analytical formulations for the flutter analysis of long-span bridges using the so-called uncoupled flutter derivatives. The formulae have been developed from the simplified framework of a bimodal coupled flutter problem. As a result, the proposed method represents an extension of Selberg's empirical formula to generic bridge sections, which may be prone to one of the aeroelastic instability such as coupled-mode or single-mode (either dominated by torsion or heaving mode) flutter. Two approximated expressions for the flutter derivatives are required so that only the experimental flutter derivatives of ($H_1^*$, $A_2^*$) are measured to calculate the onset flutter. Based on asymptotic expansions of the flutter derivatives, a further simplified formula was derived to predict the critical wind speed of the cross section, which is prone to the coupled-mode flutter at large reduced wind speeds. The numerical results produced by the proposed formulas have been compared with results obtained by complex eigenvalue analysis and available approximated methods show that they seem to give satisfactory results for a wide range of study cases. Thus, these formulas can be used in the assessment of bridge flutter performance at the preliminary design stage.

The fundamental period (FP) is one of the most critical parameters for the seismic design of structures. In the reinforced concrete (RC) infilled frame, the infill walls significantly affect the FP because they change the stiffness and mass of the structure. Although several formulas have been proposed for estimating the FP of the RC infilled frame, they are often associated with high bias and variance. In this study, an efficient soft computing model, namely the group method of data handling (GMDH), is proposed to predict the FP of regular RC infilled frames. For this purpose, 4026 data sets are obtained from the open literature, and the quality of the database is examined and evaluated in detail. Based on the cleaning database, several GMDH models are constructed and the best prediction model, which considers the height of the building, the span length, the opening percentage, and the infill wall stiffness as the input variables for predicting the FP of regular RC infilled frames, is chosen. The performance of the proposed GMDH model is further underscored through comparison of its FP predictions with those of existing design codes and empirical models. The accuracy of the proposed GMDH model is proven to be superior to others. Finally, explicit formulas and a graphical user-friendly interface (GUI) tool are developed to apply the GMDH model for practical use. They can provide a rapid prediction and design for the FP of regular RC infilled frames.

Elliptical concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) column is widely used in modern structures for both aesthetical appeal and structural performance benefits. The ultimate axial load is a critical factor for designing the elliptical CFST short columns. However, there are complications of geometric and material interactions, which make a difficulty in determining a simple model for predicting the ultimate axial load of elliptical CFST short columns. This study aims to propose an efficient adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) model for predicting the ultimate axial load of elliptical CFST short columns. In the proposed method, the ANFIS model is used to establish a relationship between the ultimate axial load and geometric and material properties of elliptical CFST short columns. Accordingly, a total of 188 experimental and simulation datasets of elliptical CFST short columns are used to develop the ANFIS models. The performance of the proposed ANFIS model is compared with that of existing design formulas. The results show that the proposed ANFIS model is more accurate than existing empirical and theoretical formulas. Finally, an explicit formula and a Graphical User Interface (GUI) tool are developed to apply the proposed ANFIS model for practical use.

여러 가지 두께의 유공벽을 이용하여 다양한 파 조건에 대한 반사율 실험을 실시하고 기존 이론식의 타당성을 검토하였다. 그 결과 유공벽의 두께가 두꺼우면 에너지손실계수가 기존 이론식에 사용된 예연오리피스 공식의 약 62% 정도로 감소하며, 관성저항길이는 벽의 두께가 증가함에 따라 선형적으로 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 관성저항의 길이가 증가할수록 최소반사율을 주는 유수실 폭이 감소한다. 그러므로 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과는 유공벽 설계시 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
