To understand the dynamic characteristics of the vessel with hydroelastic response, it is very important to estimate the dynamic modal parameters such as mode shapes, natural frequency, and damping ratio. These dynamic modal parameters of full scale ship are a priori unknowns, hence to be estimated directly based upon the full scale measurement data. In this paper, dynamic modal parameters were extracted by signal processing of acceleration and strain data measured from a large container ship whose loading capacity is 9400TEU. The mode shapes of the vibrating hull were identified using the proper orthogonal decomposition and the vibration response of hull was decomposed into its modal magnitudes. Natural frequencies of specific modes were derived via Fourier transform of these modal magnitude. Also, the free decay signal of the vibrating hull was obtained through the random decrement technique and the damping ratio was estimated with accuracy.

Concerns are emerging in marine industry on the additional fatigue damages induced by hydroelasticity, and large container carriers, among others, are considered to be susceptible to this hydroelastic response due to its large size, deck openings and high speed. This study focuses on the fatigue damage estimation of 9,400TEU container carrier based on the full scale measurement data via long-base strain gage installed on the ship. Some correlation analyses have been also done to check whether there was significant torsional response during the voyage. Direct cycle counting method was used to derive stress histogram and the long-term fatigue damage was estimated based upon that analyzed data. It turned out that the fatigue damage of this particular ship during the measurement period increased by more than 60% due to the hydroelastic response of the hull, and main contribution is considered to come from vertical bending mode.

Identification of the whipping response out of the combined wave-vibration response of a flexible sea going vessel is one of the most interesting research topic from ship designer's point of view. In order to achieve this goal, a novel methodology based on the wavelet cross-correlation technique was proposed in this paper. The cross-correlation of the wavelet power spectrum averaged across the frequency axis was introduced to check the similarity between the combined wave-vibration response and impulse response. The calculated cross-correlation of the wavelet power spectrum was normalized by the auto-correlation of the each spectrum with zero time lag, eventually providing the cross-correlation coefficient that stays between 0 and 1, precisely indicating the existence of the impulse response buried in the combined wave-vibration response. Additionally, the weight function was introduced while calculating the cross-correlation of the two spectrums in order to filter out the signal of lower frequency so that the accuracy of the similarity check becomes as high as possible. The validity of the proposed methodology was checked through the application to the artificially generated ideal combined wave-vibration signal, together with the more realistic signal obtained by running 3D hydroelasticity program WISH-Flex. The correspondence of the identified whipping instances between the results, one from the proposed method and the other from the calculated slamming modal force, was excellent.

This paper presents the wet damping estimation of the segmented hull model using the random decrement technique together with the continuous wavelet transform. The tested 16 sea states are grouped together based on the speed of the ship in order to figure out the possible influence of the ship speed on the damping ratio. The measured time histories of vertical bending moment for each tested sea state were processed with random decrement technique to derive the free decay signal, from which the damping ratios are estimated. Also, the autocorrelation functions of the filtered signal were calculated and comparison was made with the free decay signal obtained from the random decrement technique. Then the wet damping ratios for each sea state group, as well as precise wet natural frequencies, are estimated by using continuous wavelet transform. It turned out that the wet natural frequencies derived from the measured signal did not show any significant discrepancy compared with those obtained by wet hammering test, whereas the damping ratio did. It was considered that the discrepancy of the damping ratio between in calm and moving water may be attributed to the viscous effects caused by dramatically different flow pattern and relative velocity between the vibrating structure and surrounding fluid particles.

최근 우리 나라도 자동차의 수요가 급격히 늘어나고 있고, 생산량도 급증하 고 있어 자동차 공업이 산업의 최고의 위치를 확보하게 되었다. 자동차는 최 신 종합 기계 구조물로서 전기, 전자, 제어에 이르기까지 거의 모든 분양의 학문적 이론과 기술을 도입하는 최첨단의 기계 장비인것이다. 따라서 그 부 가가치 또한 매우 큰 것이다. 자동차의 성능을 결정짓는 가장 커다란 요소는 주행 성능과 안정성 및 조종성이다. 주행성능이라 함은 자동차의 종방향 운 동에 관한 성능으로서 기관의 동력에 지배적인 영향을 받는 성능(동력 성능) 과 그 밖의 성능(타향 성능, 제동 성능)으로 구분된다. 또 안정성과 조종성이 라함은 자동차의 횡방향 운동에 관한 성능으로서 로울링과 요우잉을 포함시 킨 곡선 운동에 관한 성능을 일컫는다. 이러한 운동 성능을 좌우하는 것은 구조적인 설계의 양부와 스프링이나 댐퍼의 성능일 것이다. 자동차의 수많은 부품 중의 다수가 국산화 되어 있지 아니하고, 또한 이러한 부품들의 성능을 시험할 수 있는 장비의 수입 의존도가 높은 것은 업계나 학계 등에서 앞으 로 많은 연구가 이루어져야 할 점이다. 자동차의 충격 흡수기(shock absorber)의 검사기도 또한 수입 시험기에 의존하고 있었던 것이 현실이었 다. 이에 본 연구진은 이 검사기의 국산화에 착수 한 것이다. 자동차에 있어 서 충격 흡수기는 지면에서 오는 충격을 급속히 흡수하는 역할을 하여 자동 차의 주행 성능과 안정성을 높혀 주며, 승차감을 높혀 주는 중요한 부품이 다. 따라서 충격 흡수기의 양부의 판정은 대단히 중요한 것이다. 본 연구에 서는 충격 흡수기의 충격 흡수력(감쇠력)을 측정하여 감쇠 특성을 정도 높게 파악할 수 있는 시험기를 만드는데 그 목적을 두고 있다. 연구는 시험기의 구동부를 제작하는 기계부와, 제어 및 계측의 하드웨어를 담당하는 전기.전 자부및 실제로 기계를 구동, 제어하고 측정 결과를 기록하고 출력하는 부분 을 담당하는 소프트웨어 개발부로 나누어서 진행하였다.
