In this study, a commercial seakeeping program Seakeeper, integrated into Maxsurf, which is based on the linear strip theory was employed to compare the effect of bulbous bow (with/without) on motion response characteristics in a 18-meter catamaran. The seakeeping analyses were conducted at several Beaufort wind conditions such as scale No. 3 ($\bar{T}=2.98s$, $H_{1/3}$ =0.6m), No. 4 ($\bar{T}=3.85s$, $H_{1/3}$ =1m) and No. 5 ($\bar{T}=5.44$, $H_{1/3}$ =2m) based on ITTC wave spectrum. Pitch motion response spectrum was calculated at Head sea, Head & bow sea and Beam sea as encounter angles. Hull form of a catamaran with bulb showed the maximum 20% decrease of pitch motion response as compared to that of hull form without bulb.

In this study, numerical hull form development of a platform supply vessel, a full scale with the overall length of 26.75m, was performed to predict a bare-hull resistance and a large scale of model tests with a 1/10 scaled model were conducted to verify the success of numerical results. Numerical analysis on heave and pitch motion as a function of encounter frequency and ship's speed for the prediction of seakeeping characteristics are also presented. The experiment results of resistance agreed well with numerical analysis. As a result in the motion response characteristics, the heave RAO indicates high values with the range of encounter frequency 1.8~2.0. The Pitch RAO indicates high motion response characteristics at Beaufort scale No. 3 and 4 in rough seas.

The motion response of a ship moored in a rectangular harbor excited by long waves has been studied theoretically and experimentally. Experiments are performed in a shallow basin. A ship model is set moored by soft springs at various positions in a model harbor subjected to regular waves with period ranging from 2 to 3 seconds. Wave and ship responses are measured and compared with theory. It is found that theoretical results agree qualitatively with experimental results. The main source of quantitative discrepancies is presumably due to real fluid effects such as separation at the harbor entrance and friction on harbor boundaries.

The roll response of a ship to random beam seas is investigated in terms of the threshold crossing process. The non-white excitation process is modeled as an equivalent white-noise one based on the assumption that the upcrossing properties of the response can be approximately replaced by the excitation with a white noise process with a suitable intensity. Then the non-linear damping is reinstated. The reinstated equation of motion with the equivalent white-noise intensity is solved using the equivalent non-linear method to get the desired probability density function. The proposed scheme is tested extensively with varing coefficients.

The capsizing and consequent sinking of a coastal car ferry was recently reported, with numerous human casualties. The primary cause was determined to be a sudden turn with improperly stowed and secured cargo. Part I of this study introduces how long term acceleration components are determined from seakeeping analyses. A carferry with a displacement of 1,633 tonf was selected as the target vessel. Sea data that included the significant wave heights and periods were collected at four observation buoys, some of which were far away from two main voyage routes: Incheon-Jeju and Pusan-Jeju. Frequency response analyses were performed to obtain the linearized radiation force coefficients, hydrostatic stiffnesses, and wave excitation forces. Time response analyses were sequentially performed to produce the motion-induced acceleration processes. The probabilistic distributions of the acceleration components were determined using a peak and valley counting method. Long term extreme acceleration components were proposed as a final result.

Recently, reports of marine accidents of small fishing vessels less than 10 tons have been increasing. In this study, the characteristics of the motion response in regular waves were analyzed using computations for these ships. Small vessels less than 10 tons are classified by size and used for marine accident investigations. Therefore, the motion response analysis was performed on three small fishing vessels of different sizes. In the case of the head sea, it was confirmed that as the speed of the vessel increased in the long wavelength region, the motion responses of heave and pitch became large. The motion response of the smallest 3-ton fishing vessel was greater than that of the other sizes of fishing vessels. The maximum value of the roll motion shifted to the long wavelength region as the speed gradually increased in the bow sea, regardless of the size of the ship. In all the three small fishing vessels, it was found that the roll motion was the greatest at 15 knots, the highest speed in both bow and beam seas. When sailing in the head sea and bow sea conditions, lowering the speed is one of the effective approaches to reduce the effects of the vertical and lateral plane motions. The roll motion caused by the beam wave showed a tendency to increase rapidly only at a specific wavelength regardless of the speed and the size of the vessel. It was confirmed that the roll motion was significantly reduced with forward speed in the stern wave compared to the bow wave. As there is a specific region where the maximum value of the hull motion response appears depending on the size and speed of the ship, an operation method that can minimize the effect of this motion should be considered and implemented.

URN(Underwater Radiated Noise) is one of the important performances of the battle ship related to the stealth. The main source of the URN is the structure-borne noise on the hull. And the pipe vibration transmitted to the hull is the main source of the structure-borne noise when the speed of the ship is lower than CIS(Cavitation Inception Speed). In this paper, the vibration isolator(rubber mount) for the pipe system is described in order to reduce the structure-borne noise transmitted to the hull. The vibrations on the sea-water conveying pipes and their supports are measured in order to know how much vibration occurs on those positions. Based on these test results, the improved design of the rubber mount is suggested by the parametric study and is verified numerically with the pipe and hull model.

청정지역으로 규정된 제로에미션 지역을 통과하기 위해서는 배터리를 포함한 전기시스템을 사용하여 외력 특성과 무관하게 안정된 운전성능을 유지해야만 한다. 또한 전기시스템이 항구에서 완충된 상태로 출항이 진행되어서 목표지점에 도착한 경우 뿐만 아니라, 운항 중 발전기 시스템에서 배터리를 충전하고 회항지점에서 항구까지 안정된 전력을 유지해야만 한다. 그러나 운항이 진행되면서 선체에 작용되는 외력을 극복하기 위해 추진력을 급속히 변화하게 된다. 이러한 방법은 제한된 에네지를 사용하는 전기시스템에서 급격한 속도 변화는 에너지 사용량을 증가시키고, 진동, 발진등 추진체에 수명을 단축시키는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 전기시스템의 전력 변화량을 기반으로 제로에미션을 운항하는 운전방법을 제안한다. 제안된 속도제어방법은 모드별로 선정된 속도변화량을 기준으로 모터의 토크응답성과 전력 변화특성을 PSIM을 사용하여 모의시험하였고, 구동부 하드웨어를 구현하여 성능을 부하 모의시험장치에서 검증하였다.

The degree of deviation from the orthogonality relations of the actual ship's natural modes and its effects on the vibration responses are numerically investigated. The results show that, for the practical application of the modal analysis, it is not an essential requirement in utilization of the expansion theorem to assume the added mass being constant regardless of the mode shapes, or to take the dry hull's natural modes. That is, it is more reasonable to take the actual ships natural modes as the set of the normal modes and to get the solution of the normal coordinates equation by neglecting both the inertia coupling and the stiffeness coupling.

In this paper, the lateral motions of a ship in the time domain are treated by applying the Impulse Response Function Technique. The acceleration, and displacement of a ship in the time domain are needed for the purpose of such automatic controls as the fire control system and the auto-pilot of ocean-going vessels, etc. The response Amplitude Operators of a ship are calculated by the Strip Method of Salvesen-Tuck-Faltinsen, and the Pierson-Moskowitz Spectrum multiplied by spreading function is used to represent the short crested ocean waves. The ocean wave elevations in the time domain are simulated according to the Method of Borgman. Finally the rudder effect is considered by simply adding the force and moment due to the rudder to the wave exciting force. And the results of lateral motions with and without rudder are shown.
