Nondestructive testing is one of the most commonly used quality inspection methods for evaluating ship structures. However, accurate evaluation is dif icult because various composite materials, such as reinforcements, resin, and fiber-reinforced plastics (FRPs), are used in hulls, and manufacturing quality differences are likely to exist owing to the fabrication environment and the skill level of workers. This possibility is especially true for FRP ships because they are significantly thicker than other structures, such as automobiles and aircraft, and are mainly manufactured using the hand lay-up method. Because the density of a material is a critical condition for ultrasonic inspection, in this study, a hull plate was selected from a vessel manufactured using e-glass fiber, which is widely used in the manufacture of FRP vessels with the weight fraction of the glass content generally considered. The most suitable ultrasonic testing conditions for the glass FRP hull plate were investigated using a pulse-echo ultrasonic gauge. A-scans were performed with three probes (1.00, 2.25, and 5.00 MHz), and the results were compared with those of the hull plate thickness measured using a Vernier caliper. It was found that when the probe frequency was higher, the eco-pulse velocity of the receiver had to be lowered to obtain accurate measurement results, whereas fewer errors occurred at a relatively low probe frequency.

현재 자율운항선박의 성공적 달성을 위해 다양한 연구개발이 진행 중이며 이와 관련하여 자율운항선박의 안전항해 지원을 위해 자율운항 지원 서비스와 해양사고 대응 서비스가 개발되고 있다. 자율운항 지원 서비스는 전자해도표시시스템(ECDIS, Electronic Chart Display and Information System)에서 수립하는 항로 계획 정보를 육상 운항조정상황실에 전송하여 충돌 위험 예측 후 유용한 정보를 자율운항선박에게 제공하는 서비스이다. 이 서비스를 통해 타 선박과 자율운항선박간의 조우 지점과 타 선박의 사전 변침정보를 미리 알 수 있기 때문에 충돌 예측 정보로써 활용할 수 있다. 해양사고 대응 서비스는 현재 사람에 의존적인 해양사고 상황인식 및 해양사고 대응기관에 전파하는 것을 자동으로 상황을 인식하고 사고 대응하는 서비스이다. 이 서비스를 통해 사고 단계별 유용한 정보를 사고선박 및 주변 해양사고 대응기관에 정보를 제공함으로써 추가적인 해양사고 방지와 즉각 대응이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 2가지 서비스를 성공적으로 제공하기 위해 시스템의 요구사항을 분석하고 시스템 아키텍처를 설계하였다.

As interest in the eco-friendly ships and lightweight equipment is increasing in the shipbuilding and marine industry, composite materials are applied to equipment such as pipes. In this study, a basalt fiber reinforced furan composite (BFC), an eco-friendly material, was manufactured to apply the pipe insulation cover that requires environment-friendly and heat/flame retardant performance. An optimization study of post-curing conditions of BFC was conducted, and experiments and analysis were performed on mechanical strength, heat/flame retardant properties, and affinity properties. Finally, as a result of the study BFC material is proved to be a good candidate to apply pipe insulation cover.

Recently, research and development of high-value leisure vessels has been carried out in Korea to revitalize the marine leisure industry and tap into the global maritime leisure market. FRP composite materials, which have excellent physical properties and are available for the manufacture of light hulls, are used widely. One of the most important design technologies is to secure structural safety of leisure vessels made from FRP composite materials. In this study, the structural strength was assessed for the design of an 8-meter high-speed planing leisure boat made from FRP composite materials. The design loads to verify the structural safety were calculated according to the rules for the classification of high speed light craft (KR, 2015), and structural analysis was conducted using a finite element model composed of an isotropic shell element, which has equivalent bending rigidity with the FRP sandwich panel. The analysis results were compared with the results of the strength test for fabricated specimens, and all internal structural components are sufficiently satisfied with the structural strength.

Currently, there are many discussions about composite materials and 3D printed composite material to weight reduction of ships. A test was conducted to confirm the applicability of the 3D printed composite material to ships and offshore structures by linking the 3D printing technology with excellent productivity and the composite material with corrosion resistance and lightweight characteristics in salt water environments. In order to apply the 3D printed composite material used in this paper to ships and offshore structures, the temperature environmental effects that can be exposed in the marine environment should be considered. Therefore, the tensile test was conducted with specimen of Carbon + Onyx, Carbon + Nylon, HSHT glass + Onyx, HSHT glass + Nylon material in low temperature (-50℃), room temperature (20℃), and high temperature (50℃) environments that can be exposed to the marine environment. As a result of the tensile test, the carbon + onyx specimen showed the highest tensile strength and the HSHT glass + onyx specimen showed the highest tensile strain. In addition, by analyzing the tested specimens, the failure mode of the 3D printed composite material specimens exposed to various temperature environments was analyzed.

우리나라 조선업은 건조분야에서 세계최고의 위상을 자랑하면서 급속도로 발전을 해왔다. 그러나 세계적으로 수주 불황과 조선 산업의 침체로 인해서 조선 산업은 직접적인 타격으로 국내의 중견 조선소 및 기자재 공급업체들이 도산되어0 최근부터 해양플랜트 사업이 우리나라 새로운 산업으로 부상하면서 해양 ICT 융합기술을 활용한 기자재 업체들이 많이 생겨났다. 하지만 실제 해양플랜트 선박 및 기자재의 국산화율은 현저히 낮다. 해양플랜트 외에 다른 용도로 사용이 가능한 Service and Access Basket의 국산화를 위해서 각 모듈별로 임베디드를 연계하여 설계하였다. 기존의 Service and Access Basket의 미비했던 안전 사양(기울기, 하중, 경보 등)을 추가로 설계하고 신뢰성이 높은 센서(자이로, 하중센서, 초음파 거리센서)들을 활용하여 통합 설계하였다. 이러한 통합 시스템이 완성이 되면 고소차, 해양/육상용 고공 작업을 할 수 있는 장비 등에 활용할 수 있을 예정이다.

The study aims to improve the previous theory-based algorithm on the lightweight design of laminate structures of a composite ship based on the mechanical properties of fiber, resin, and laminates obtained from experiments. From a case study on using a hydrometer to measure the specific gravity of e-glass fiber woven roving fabric/polyester resin used as the raw material for the hull of a 52 ft composite ship, the equation for calculating the weight of laminate was redefined, and the relationship between decreasing mechanical properties and increasing glass content was determined from the results of material testing according to ASTM D5083 and ASTM D790. After applying these experimental data to the existing algorithm and improving it, a possible laminate design that maximizes the specific strength of the composite material was confirmed. In a case study that applied the existing algorithm based on rules, the optimal lightweight design of composite structures was achieved when the weight fraction of e-glass fiber was increased by 57.5% compared with that in the original design, but the improved algorithm allowed for an increase of only 17.5%.

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.
