A very large floating structure has rather small motion characteristics as to the whole body, while the motion at end part of such structure becomes largest due to the elastic motion of the structure. This paper presents on the theoretical result on the relative motion characteristics and green water phenomena of VLFS in waves This phenomena affect not only to strength of the structure but also the determination of depth of structure. To predict motion responses of structure in regular waves, the source-dipole distribution method and F.E.M is used By irregular wave results, the probability of occurrence of green water and response of the structure were calculated.

The flaring system of FPSO burns out the byproduct natural gas. The thermal loading due to radiative heat of flaring gas leads to undesirable thermal-stresses on itself. Nowadays it needs to understand the amount of thermal loading of flaring system since the requirement for the safety of the flaring system. However, few studies have been performed on the thermal environment and radiative heat flux on the FPSO flaring system. Present study suggests a procedure to model the thermal environment and a FEA process to analyze the temperature distribution and thermal stresses of FPSO flaring system. In order to get the temperature distribution, the radiative heat conditions and convective heat conditions are included in the heat transfer analysis. By making the use of temperature obtained through heat transfer analysis, the thermal stress analyses are performed. The results of the present study can be used to design the flaring system and determine the heat shield in the flaring system.

As increasing demands for a floating structure expanded from offshore industry facilities to living facilities, it has emerged that necessity of techniques to reduce motions of a floating structure. This study present a floating structure with porosity on the outer surface of the floater. Under each regular and irregular wave, responses of the floater was investigated in frequency domain. The proposed structure is composed of inner and outer floaters, which are connected to each other and the outer wall is perforated, and the heave and the pitch of floaters with different perforation rates (0~30%) were compared with at both the center and the edge. The results showed that pitch responses can be decreased by increasing of perforation rate of the floater. Comparing with responses of the non-perforated floater, those of the proposed floating structure were reduced to above 10% and 2%, respectively for regular and irregular wave conditions.

A floating offshore structure has high tendency to occur the buckling when compressive, bending and shear loads applied. When the buckling is occurred, in-plane stiffness of structure is remarkably decreased. And it has a harmful effect on the local structural strength as well as global structural strength. In the present study, it has been investigated the ultimate strength of tubular members which is located between a floater and a damping plate of the floating pendulum wave energy converter. Nonlinear finite element method is conducted using the initial imperfection according to 1st buckling mode which is obtained from the elastic buckling analysis. It is also noted the ultimate bending strength characteristic varying with a diameter, thickness and stiffeners of the tubular member.

티타늄은 높은 비강도로 알려지고 있어 항공기산업이나 군사산업에 주로 사용된다고 생각하기 쉽다. 그러나 해수와 같은 염화물이온을 함유한 수용액에 대해서는 뛰어난 내식성을 나타내며, 해양토목과 조선관계자는 초 내식성재료로 반영구적인 내구성을 갖는 재료로 보고 있다. 일반적인 페인트 방식법은 일정기간 후에 다시 칠해야 하는데다, 박리된 도료가 환경에 미치는 악영향도 염려되고 있다. 따라서 다시 칠하는 것이 곤란한 초대형 해양 부유구조물에는 티타늄이 매우 효과적인 것으로 기대할 수 있다. 그러나 티타늄은 광석을 제련하여 금속티타늄으로 제조하는 염화 환원공정이 곤란하고 고가여서 선체나 매우 큰 부유식의 해양구조물에는 보급되지 못했다. 따라서 티타늄재료를 선체 등의 구조재로 사용하지 않고 염가의 강판위에 도금하여 내식성을 향상시키는 방법을 생각할 수 있다. 또 해양구조물에 한정하지 않고, 대형 공공시설의 지붕재료나 해수담수화 설비, 화학플랜트 배관에 응용을 기대할 수 있고, 보급이 진전되면 스테인리스제품을 대체할 수도 있다. 티타늄의 평활전해석출 도금기술은 표면처리공학에서 최대의 새로운 개척분야인 것으로 사료된다. 본고에서는 티타늄의 평활피막전해석출 결과와 문제점에 대하여 기술하였다.

In this paper, hydroelastic responses of the very large floating structure are studied based on the linear potential theory. A theoretical method is developed to analyze the hydroelastic reponses of very large floating structures(VLFS) using the pressure distribution method and the modal expansion method. The singularities distributed on a zero draft plate at the free surfaces and hydrodynamic pressures are evaluated. The deflections of structure are expanded approximately in terms of natural mode functions of free-free beam. The calculated items are pressure distributions. vertical motions, hydrodynamic coefficients and bending moments of VLFS. The numerical results are compared with those measured by experiments.

Dynamic response of floating structures such as floating body and floating bridges subject to wave load is to be calculated in frequency domain. Added mass coefficient, damping coefficient and wave exciting force are obtained numerically from frequency domain formulation of linear potential theory and boundary element method for a floating body which is partially submerged into water and subjected to wave force. Next, the equation of motion for the dynamic behavior of a floating structure which is supported by the floating bodies and modeled with finite elements is written in frequency domain. hker a hemisphere is analyzed and compared with the published references as examples of floating bodies, the hydrodynamic coefficients for a pontoon type floating body which supports a floating bridge are determined. The dynamic response of the floating bridge subject to design wave load can be solved using the coefficients obtained for the pontoons and the results are plotted in the frequency domain. It can be seen from the example analysis that although the peak frequency of the incoming wave spectrum is near the natural frequency of the bridge, the response of the bridge is not amplified due to the effect that the peak frequency of wave exciting force is away from the natural frequency of the bridge.

In offshore floating structures, the viscous mean drift force due to drag is considered a design part that has not been considered until recently. In this paper, an analytical solution for the viscous mean drift forces on a floating vertical cylinder considering the waves and currents was obtained. The area was considered by dividing it into a splash zone above the free surface and a submerged zone below the free surface. In the case of waves, only the splash zone was considered; in the case of waves and currents, equations were obtained in both the splash zone and the submerged zone. The RAO results of previous studies were used to compare the calculated results with the drift forces acting on the fixed cylinder. Except for the case in only waves in the splash zone, the viscous mean drift force acting on the floating cylinder was larger than the drift force acting on the relatively fixed cylinder in most frequencies. In particular, the increase was greater when the currents were considered to be more important. Therefore, these results provide the inference for the viscous drift force due to drag in the design of floating offshore structures.
