슬로싱 하중은 LNG 화물창의 내부 구조물에 강한 충격을 유발시킨다. 이는 슬로싱 하중에 의해 평면이나 구석 부위에 순간 압력을 증가시키기 때문에 멤브레인 타입의 화물창에서는 매우 위험하다. 멤브레인 타입의 화물창은 선체구조에 비해 매우 유연하므로, 유체-구조 상호작용은 슬로싱 하중을 받는 화물창의 구조해석에서 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구는 유한요소해석 기법을 이용하여 LNG 유체와 KC-1 단열시스템의 경계에 대시포트를 이용하여 유체-구조 상호작용을 고려한 해석 방법에 대해 다루었다. 결론적으로 표면 완충 효과를 적용하였을 경우, KC-1 단열시스템의 폴리우레탄폼에서 발생하는 최대응력이 약 1.5 배 낮아지는 효과가 있음을 알아내었다.

A new state-of-the-art sloshing research equipment has developed to perform the model test of LNG tanks for the safer design of LNG cargo containment system in violent sloshing phenomena. This sloshing test system has developed by the Samsung Ship Model Basin (SSMB) and thoroughly verified. The accuracy of the motion of hexapods equipment for the excitation of a model tank has been verified. The maximum displacement in six degrees of freedom, harmonic motions of various frequencies, and irregular motions in wave conditions are measured and compared with input signals. In order to confirm the reliability of the post-processing program for measured impact pressure, the post-processed results were compared with those of the reference institute. A benchmarking sloshing test using 1/50 scale model of 160K LNGC tank was conducted for the verification of the whole testing system. The partial filing levels were considered. As a result of the experiment, it is confirmed that the results are in good agreement with those of the reference institute.

A new concept of membrane type LNG CCS was proposed. Also, its static behavior was numerically analyzed considering the interaction between primary and secondary barrier together with securing device. Hull deflection was taken into account as an external load, together with temperature distribution across the barriers. The suggested numerical model considers both sliding and contact between the two mating surfaces of both the primary and secondary barrier, and anisotropic material behavior of plywood, R-PUF was also taken into account. Furthermore, detailed local strength was evaluated for the securing device, which is arranged between two barriers to hold the primary barrier. It was confirmed through the numerical analysis that the new concept of membrane type CCS was structurally safe under static loading condition and securing concept was structurally reliable.

Membrane panels are installed in LNG cargo-hold in order to endure extremely low temperature LNG. Although there are several types of membranes around the world, Korean LNG cargo containment system is developing to accomplish technology independence from the other countries. The membrane panel of Korean LNG cargo containment system is composed of corrugation and flat sheets which are arranged asymmetrically. It is very important to reduce the number of the type of corrugation sheet because a mold is required as much as the type of the corrugation sheet. Therefore, we proposed an optimization method to minimize the type of the corrugation sheet. For this method, the number of pitches, which is the distance between the centers of two corrugation sheets should be minimized. We also developed optimized arrangement procedure of the flats simultaneously. Finally, the developed optimization program is applied to 174K LNG cargo hold, and the minimum pitch size is found.

멤브레인 형 LNG 화물창시스템(Cargo containment system, CCS) 내 유리섬유 강화 복합재료 기반 2차 방벽 설치 시 본딩 자동화 머신(automatic bonding machine, ABM) 활용한 prolonged 구조임과 동시에 양단 접착 고정 사이 비 접착(non-bonding, N-B) 영역의 복합재에서 극저온 열 수축 기인한 상당한 열 응력이 발생하기 때문에 이를 고려한 구조 안전성평가 관점에서 수행된 연구가 있으나 실제로 무한히 긴 길이 고려한 기계적 물성 평가를 수행한 연구는 찾아볼 수가 없었다. 해당 복합재는 파단강도 분산이 큰 세라믹 재료 취성 파괴임을 고려하여 2-파라미터 Weibull 통계분석을 통해 실제 길이 대상 신뢰도 있는 기계적 물성치 값을 표준화 하였으며 LNG 운반 환경을 고려한 극저온 환경까지의 특정 온도별 단축 인장실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과, -70℃에서 기계적 강도가 -20℃에 비해 약 1.5배 급증하고 초기 권축 섬유 신장의 비선형 거동이 억제되었다. 또한, 극저온 환경까지 온도가 낮아질수록 기계적 강도는 계속해서 증가하였으나 반대로 연신은 줄어드는 저온 취성의 현상이 확인되었다. 본 연구에서 제시하는 기계적 물성치 데이터는 멤브레인 형 LNG 화물창 구조 안전성 평가 시 신뢰도 높은 해석 지원 물성치 확보 측면에서 유용하게 적용되어지리라 사료된다.

본 연구를 통해 superlite라 불리는 단열 파우더를 채용한 NO96 멤브레인 타입 LNG선 단열 화물창의 만선항해 시 LNG의 BOR(Boil-Off Rate) 예측모델을 제시하였다. LNGCC(LNG Cargo Containment)의 비정상상태 열전달 FEM모델은 만선항해 시 대기 및 해수 조건을 반영하고 복잡한 화물창 단열구조에 균질화 기법을 적용하여 구축하였다. BOR은 만선항해중 LNGCC 내부로 침입하는 총 열량을 이용하여 평가되었으며, 주요 변수에 따른 BOR의 변화는 파라메트릭 열전달해석을 통하여 분석하였다. 그리고 파라메트릭 BOR 특성해석 결과를 토대로 LNG선의 탱크 크기, 단열층의 두께 그리고 superlite의 열전도율을 함수로 하는 BOR 예측모델을 유도하였다. 비선형 과도 열전달해석을 통해 직접 구한 BOR과의 비교를 통해 유도한 예측모델은 최대 1% 이내의 상대오차를 나타내었다.

The membrane-type Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) cargo tank is equipped with a double barrier to seal the LNG, of which the secondary barrier serves to prevent LNG leakage and mainly uses fiber-reinforced composite materials. However, the composite materials have thermal expansion anisotropy, which deteriorates shape distortion and mechanical performance due to repeated thermal loads caused by temperature changes between cryogenic and ambient during the unloading of LNG. Therefore, in this study, the longitudinal thermal expansion characteristics of the composite materials were obtained using a vertical thermo-mechanical analyzer, and the elastic modulus was obtained through the tensile test for each temperature to perform thermal load analysis for each direction. This is considered that it is useful to secure reliability from the viewpoint of the design of materials for a LNG cargo hold.

While the structural safety assessment of Cargo Containment System(CCS) in membrane type LNG carriers has to be carried out in consideration of sloshing impact pressure, it is very difficult to figure out its dynamic response behaviors due to its very complex structural arrangements/materials and complicated phenomena of sloshing impact loading. For the development of its original technique, it is necessary to understand the characteristics of dynamic response behavior of CCS structure under sloshing impact pressure. In this study, for the exact understanding of dynamic response behavior of CCS structure in membrane Mark III type LNG carriers under sloshing impact pressure, its wet drop impact response analyses were carried out by using Fluid-Structure Interaction(FSI) analysis technique of LS-DYNA code, and were also validated through a series of wet drop experiments for the enhancement of more accurate shock response analysis technique. It might be thought that the structural response behaviors of impact response analysis, such as impact pressure impulses and resulted strain time histories, generally showed very good agreement with experimental ones with very appropriate use of FSI analysis technique of LS-DYNA code, finite element modeling and material properties of CCS structure, finite element modeling and equation of state(EOS) of fluid domain.

For the development of the original technique of structural safety assessment of Cargo Containment System(CCS) in membrane type LNG carriers, it is necessary to understand the characteristics of dynamic response behavior of CCS structure under sloshing impact pressure. In the previous study, the wet drop impact response analyses of CCS structure in membrane Mark III type LNG carriers were carried out by using Fluid-Structure Interaction(FSI) analysis technique of LS-DYNA code, and were also validated through a series of wet drop experiments for the enhancement of more accurate shock response analysis technique. In this study, the characteristics of structural shock response behaviors of CCS structure were sufficiently figured out by careful examinations of the effects of specimen weight, drop height, incident angle, corrugation and stiffness of inner hull on its shock response behaviors. The shock response analysis of upward shooting fluid to inner hull was performed, and the reason of faster strain response than shock pressure one was also figured out.

A membrane type LNG cargo tank is equipped with a pump tower and a liquid dome for loading and unloading of LNG. However, the membrane running continuously on the tank wall to prevent leakage of LNG is interrupted by the liquid dome, hence care should be taken in the design of liquid dome and its substructures. In case of GTT NO96 membrane type cargo containment system, chair structure is arranged along the periphery of the liquid dome targeting to support the membrane which is exposed to the both hull girder and thermal load. This paper proposes a new and simple chair structure, which outperforms traditional design from productivity point of view maintaining same level of structural safety. Strength assessment on the new design was performed to guarantee the structural safety of the new design, which includes strength, fatigue and crack propagation analysis.
