The purpose of this study is to design the intelligent speed control system for marine diesel engine by combining the Model Matching Method and the Nominal Model Tracking Method. Recently for the speed control of a diesel engine some methods using the advanced control techniques such as LQ control Fuzzy control or H$\infty$ control etc. have been reported. However most of speed controllers of a marine diesel engine developed are still using the PID control algorithm But the performance of a marine diesel engine depends highly on the parameter setting of the PID controllers. The authors proposed already a new method to tune efficiently the PID parameters by the Model Mathcing Method typically taking a marine diesel engine as a non-oscillatory second-order system. It was confirmed that the previously proposed method is superior to Ziegler & Nichols's method through simulations under the assumption that the parameters of a diesel engine are exactly known. But actually it is very difficult to find out the exact model of the diesel engine. Therefore when the model and the actual diesel engine are unmatched as an alternative to enhance the speed control characteristics this paper proposes a Model Refernce Adaptive Speed Control system of a diesel engine in which PID control system for the model of a diesel engine is adopted as the nominal model and a Fuzzy controller is adopted as the adaptive controller, And in the nominal model parameters of a diesel engine are adjusted using the Model Matching Method. it is confirmed that the proposed method gives better performance than the case of using only Model Matching Method through the analysis of the characteristics of indicial responses.

As the wireless communication technologies are being studied for application to maritime communication networks in a fusion of marine industries and IT technology, interference coordination techniques have been studied in the maritime heterogeneous networks. In this paper, we develop a simulator for measuring, verifying and evaluating performance of a maritime heterogeneous network. Unlike other previous simulators, the developed simulator applies enhanced inter-cell interference coordination (eICIC) that are being introduced in the 3GPP Release 10 for mitigating the cross-tier interference between ships. Furthermore, we investigate the effects of almost blank subframes (ABS) and cell range expansion (CRE) on the throughput of small cells in maritime heterogeneous networks by using the developed simulator.

In advanced countries, a gas turbine engine is developed to use in aircraft, vessels, and target weapons. Our nation also passed the level of producing engine components and now, we are developing small-sized gas turbine engine. The most important point of the gas turbine engine, the engine control technique, is evaded by the advanced nations. This document contains the research about the development of the gas turbine engine simulator. The simulator presented in this document has a mathematical engine model based on a capacity data of the gas turbine engine to advance the engine simulator. Through this process, it eases the development of the gas turbine engine control algorithm and helps to check the engine controller function. In this simulator, the engine sensor signal conversion board is designed, so the engine model shows like a real sensor signal during the simulation. Also, this paper contrasts the actual engine test with the simulation results to verify the performance.

This paper describes the track initiation and target-tracking filter for ship tracking in a marine environment by using Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR). LiDAR with three-dimensional scanning capability is more useful for target tracking in the short to medium range compared to RADAR. LiDAR has rotating multi-beams that return point clouds reflected from targets. Through preprocessing the cluster of the point cloud, the center point can be obtained from the cloud. Target tracking is carried out by using the center points of targets. The track of the target is initiated by investigating the normalized distance between the center points and connecting the points. The regular track obtained from the track initiation can be maintained by the target-tracking filter, which is commonly used in radar target tracking. The target-tracking filter is constructed to track a maneuvering target in a cluttered environment. The target-tracking algorithm including track initiation is experimentally evaluated in a sea-trial test with several boats.

The DSME guide plate(GP) has been developed with the target to improve the cavitation and vibration performance when used with discharging cooling water around the outlet of LNG carrier. It was proven that it could as well be applied as a powerful wake control device on its own, even without discharging cooling water. However, it has to be taken into account that it inevitably results in speed loss. This study shows the possibility to design a GP which simultaneously improves both vibration and speed performance. The study intends to outline how to design the preliminary GP configurations from both the vibration and the speed performance points of view. Further, the study offers design guidance for the hull form and the propeller when adapting GP as a wake control device.

Al-Mg 알루미늄 합금은 강도가 높고 성형성이 우수하여 수송기기 경량화용 소재로서 사용량이 증가하고 있다. 특히고강도 특성을 보이는 Al-Mg-Mn합금은 자동차, 선박및 철도차량등의 형재 및 판재로 그 사용량이 증가하고 있다. 또한 결정립을 미세화 시킨 Al-Mg-Mn합금판재의 경우에는 온간성형으로 복잡한 형상의 판재부품제조에 사용되고 있다. 연속주조공정인 Twin roll strip casting(TRC)은용탕으로부터 직접 판재를 생산할 수 있는 공정으로 주로 순알루미늄계열의 판재 생산에 사용되고 있으나 최근에는 고강도 판재의 저비용 생산을 위하여 고합금계 판재에 적용하는 연구가 수행되고 있다. 합금량이 높은 고강도Al-Mg계 합금의 TRC 주조시 고액공존구간이 커서 더욱 정밀한 공정제어가 필요하다. 또한 기존의 슬라브주조방식보다 높은 냉각속도로 주조가 가능하기 때문에 결정립 및 정출상의 미세화공정으로 응용되기도한다. 본 연구에서는 TRC공정을 기초로 주조시 열간 압연의효과를 동시에 부여하는 용탕직접압연공정을 개발하였으며 상용 고강도 알루미늄 합금인 5083합금 판재를제조하였다. 또한 기존 Al-Mg 합금에 Mn을 첨가하여 용탕직접압연함으로서 정출상의 크기 및 밀도를 제어하여 강도가 우수한 Al-Mg-Mn 합금판재를 제조하는 기술을 개발하였다. 용탕직접압연된 Al-Mg-Mn계 합금의 경우에 주조시 높은 냉각속도로 인하여 결정립이 미세하고 Al6Mn과 같은 미세한 정출상이 다량 형성되었으며, 최종압연 및 열처리에 의하여 높은 강도를 갖는 고강도 알루미늄 합금 판재의 제조가 가능하였다.

실시간 프로그램은 항공기, 선박, 철도 예매 시스템 등 다양한 분야에서 사용되고 있으며, 그 개발자는 논리적, 시간적 정확성을 고려해야 한다. 시간적 정확성은 실시간 프로그램에서 가장 중요한 부분이며, 이를 위한 데드라인은 개발자에 의해 정의된다. 따라서 개발자는 데드라인의 정의를 위하여 기준점을 제시할 수 있는 정적 실행시간 분석이 필요하다. 정적 실행시간 분석에서 프로그램의 반복횟수의 분석은 큰 비중을 차지한다. 기존 연구에서 반복횟수의 분석은 사용자 입력에 의존하였고 현재 반복횟수 분석을 자동화하는 연구가 진행 중이다. 하지만 반복횟수의 분석은 반복횟수에 영향을 주는 제어변수의 결정정책에 따라 결과가 달라진다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 PS-Block구조를 기반으로 반복 횟수에 영향을 주는 제어변수들을 종합적으로 분석하여 보다 정밀하고 사용자의 입력을 자동화하는 반복횟수의 분석이 가능한 방법을 제시한다. 이로써 정적 실행시간 분석은 반복횟수의 정밀한 분석을 통하여 분석 결과의 정확도를 높이고 신뢰성을 향상시킬 수 있다.

The diesel engine is often a serious excitation source in ships. Both the varying cylinder gas forces and the reciprocating and rotating mass forces associated with the crank and the connecting rod mechanism produce ample possibilities for excitation of the engine structure itself, the shafting, the surrounding substructures as well as the hull girder. This paper presents a guide for optimization of excitation forces produced by the marine propulsion 2-stroke diesel engine. The computational program for predicting the excitation forces is developed and applied to 2-stroke in-line engines. The object function is defined as the work done by every cylinder excitation force which is related to the mode shape of the diesel engine system, especially in the torsional vibration of the shafting. As a practical application of the presented method, the crank angle of 7 cylinder 2-stroke engine is optimized to reduce torsional vibration stresses on the shafting. Compared with the regular firing angle, about 60% of the 4th order torsional vibratory stress on the propeller shaft can be reduced by optimizing the crank angle irregularly. The usefulness of the presented optimization method is confirmed by the measurements.

The present study focused on evaluation for the performance of the Flow Control Flat Plate (FCFP) attached in the stern side of the ship. The important function of this FCFP is to enhance the resistance performance through the decrease of stern sinkage and the propulsive performance by the adjustment of inflow velocities in the propeller plane. Two different hull forms were considered to identify the effects of the FCFP. The attachment position, the angle and the size of the FCFP were studied in this numerical simulation. In this paper, the roles of the FCFP were intended to analyze fully through the numerical interpretation.
