Abstract
This research aims to investigate the superstructure characteristics of the CFRP-yachts whose hulls are made of the light-weight material CFRP. CFRP-yachts, which belong to light-weight yachts, have a tendency of having very small superstructures compared to other vessels of the same length, and such a tendency is closely related to stability. In this research, a comparison of shape characteristics was made between common composite-plastic yachts and CFRP-yachts to find out the shape characteristics of CFRP-yacht. In the meantime, a case study was conducted concerning shape changes in superstructure to understand the effect of such changes on stability. For this purpose the shapes of a total of 10 GFRP-yachts and CFRP-yachts were comparatively analyzed, and the result showed the tendency of their hulls and superstructures. Whereas the case study on stability assessment involved various superstructure shapes of CFRP yachts, for assessment by superstructure size. Stability assessment was according to ISO 12217 (Small craft Stability and buoyancy assessment and categorization). A program was also developed based on stability assessment process due to rolling in beam waves and wind, and it was applied to the case study. The result of the case study showed that the windage area distribution tendency of the yachts whose hulls were made of the light-weight material CFRP was similar to that of the GFRP-yachts, but that the superstructure shapes of the CFRP-yachts were about 50% smaller than those of the GFRP-yachts. In addition, the stability assessment involving various superstructure areas of the CFRP-yachts showed that problems with stability occurred when their superstructure sizes were similar to, or larger by about 10% than, those of the GFRP-yachts.
일반적으로 CFRP 레저선박의 상부구조물은 동급전장 타 선박보다 매우 작은 경향을 보이고 있는데, 이는 풍압면적에 의한 횡요저항력과 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 CFRP 레저선박의 이러한 상부구조물 형상 특성을 풍압면적 변화에 따른 복원안정성 분석을 통해 파악하고자 한다. GFRP 레저선박과 CFRP 레저선박의 선체 및 상부구조물 형상 특성을 상호 비교하고, CFRP 레저선박의 상부구조물 형상변화를 통해 그 변화가 복원안정성에 미치는 영향에 대해 분석하였다. 이를 위해 GFRP, CFRP 레저선박 총 10척의 형상을 비교, 분석하여 선체와 상부구조물 간의 형상 추세를 파악하였고, ISO 12217에 따른 횡요저항력 추정 및 복원안정성 평가 프로그램 개발을 통해 상부구조물의 형상 변화와 복원안정성 간의 관계를 분석하였다. 연구결과, CFRP 레저선박의 풍압면적 분포경향은 GFRP 레저선박과 비슷하였으나, 상대적으로 상부구조물 형상 비율은 절반정도 크기에 그치는 경향을 보였다. 또한 CFRP 레저선박의 상부구조물 크기를 동급전장의 GFRP 선박 상부구조물 면적 비율 이상(10%) 증가시키는 경우 횡요저항력에 의한 복원성능에 문제가 발생하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
