잠수함은 운행 중 수압에 따라 자화 특성이 변하므로 자기정숙화에 어려움이 있다. 본 논문은 잠수함 운행 중 수압에 따른 압력선체의 B-H Curve 특성 변화를 측정하였다. 잠수함의 압력선체는 강자성체 재질로 모델링 하여 제작하고 비자성체인 스테인리스로 보빈을 만들어 나사를 조이는 형태로 압축응력을 모사했다. 그 결과 응력이 가해지면 투자율이 작아지고 최대 자속밀도 또한 감소하였다.

Any small leakages in the submarines could lead to the serious consecutive damages since it operates under high water pressure. Such leakages including damages of pipe and hull itself eventually could incur humane casualties and loss of expensive properties as well as the loss of combat capabilities. In this paper, knowledge based decision system is developed. The domain knowledge is acquired from document of submarine design, design expertise and interview with operator. Damages of hull itself and pipes are treated and decision is recommended whether to stay in the sea or to be blowing, for instance.

This study aims to analyze the strength of pressure hull of a small submarine. The pressure hull of a submarine has to withstand very large differential pressure between hydrostatic pressure in submarine operating depth and atmospheric pressure in inner space of a submarine. To do that, the pressure hull is generally ring-stiffened cylindrical shell under external pressure. In this situation, there are some foreseeable failure modes of the pressure hull such as shell yielding, axisymmetric shell buckling, asymmetric shell buckling, overall buckling and buckling of end closure. We calculated collapse pressures of these failure modes with approximation and empirical formulas. And, to analyze critical buckling pressure, we performed eigenvalue analysis with finite element method tools.

Submarines, which have been called an invisible force, are strategic underwater weapon systems that perform missions such as anti-surface warfare, anti-submarine warfare, and high payoff target strikes with the advantage of underwater covertness. A submarine should be able to withstand the hydrostatic pressure of the deep sea. In this respect, the submarine pressure hull, as the main structural system to resist the external pressure corresponding to the submerged depth, should ensure the survivability from hazards and threats such as leakage, fires, shock, explosion, etc. To do this, the initial scantling of the submarine pressure hull must be calculated appropriately in the concept design phase. The shape of the aft transition ring varies according to its connection with the submarine aft end conical structure, pressure hull cylindrical part, and non-pressure hull of the submarine; the design of the aft transition ring should not only take into account stress flow and connectivity but also the cost increase due to the increased man-hours of its complex geometry. Therefore, trade-off studies based on the four different shapes of the aft transition ring are carried out considering both the review of the structural strength through nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA) and economic feasibility by reviewing the estimations of the manufacturing working days and material costs. Finally, the most rational structural aft transition ring shape for a submarine amongst four reviewed types was proposed.

잠수함 설계는, 내압(내압)성능 유지를 위해 효과적인 공간 활용이 어려운 원통형의 구조를 가질 뿐 아니라 제한된 공간에 다양한 장비들을 배치해야 하고,수 심 수백 미터의 극한 환경에서 3차원 운동을 하는 등의 환경 및 운용특성으로 인하여 수상 선박에 비해 많은 경험과 고난도의 기술들이 요구된다. 본문에서는, 해외의 유수한 대학 및 설계 기관과의 공동설계를 수행한 경험과 13년여에 걸친 장보고급 잠수함 건조기간 중에 수행한 수 차례의 역설계 과정 등을 통하여 습득한 설계 기술과 자료들을 바탕으로, 대우조선해양에서 자체 개발한 잠수함 기본설계 시스템(SUB-21)을 이용하여 수행한 중형잠수함 설계결과에 대해 간략하게 소개하고자 한다. 본 SUB-21의 개발은 잠수함 기본설계의 핵심 과정인 배치, 선형개발, 저항, 추진, 조종 및 압력선체 설계뿐만 아니라 디젤발전기-축전지-추진전동기로 구성되는 추진계통의 최적화 과정을 실시간으로 처리할 수 있기 때문에 기본설계에 소요되는 시간을 획기적으로 절감할 수 있으며 기본설계 결과의 신뢰성 제고에 크게 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

In this paper, a method is presented for the optimal design of submarine pressure hull structures by taking advantage of genetic algorithm techniques. The objective functions and design constraints in the process of structural optimization are based on the ultimate limit states of hull structures. One of the benefits associated with the utilization of genetic algorithm is that the optimization process can be completed within short generations of design variables for the pressure hull structure model. Applied examples confirm that the proposed method is useful for the optimal design of submarine pressure hull structures. Details of the design procedure with applied examples are documented. The conclusions and insights obtained from the study are summarized.

Submarine and deep sea diving structures are generally designed based on their ultimate strength. Fatigue strength at welded joint must be also taken into account because working stress is increased due to the increasing of diving depth and using high yield steel. The pressure hulls of submarine are subjected to fluctuating compressive loading. But in addition to the calculated stresses, high residual tensile stresses at welded part have to be considered. The state of stress level of pressure hull is tensile at surface and compressive at deep diving depth. This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on the crack initiation and growth at the weld toe of T welded joints of HY-100 steel plate under constant amplitude loading. It is also investigated the phenomenon of the fatigue failure and test methods. Fatigue tests have been using real scaled local structural models of full penetration T-welded joint, which is a part of the cylindrical shell structures reinforced by ring stiffeners. Several load ratios under constant amplitude loading are considered in the tests. Crack initiation and growth characteristics are examined based on the beach marks of the cracked section of the test specimens. A design stress-life curve including the design formula is suggested according to tested data.

In designing and manufacturing a submarine, an expensive real mock up is usually built as a reference because of the spatial constraints of a submarine. This paper presents an integrated and automated design process for a submarine that uses a digital mock up. Various equipment libraries are built for feature based design. Using the developed digital mock up, this paper shows various ways to verify the design, including a space analysis to check for any interference between pieces of equipment and the hull and an ergonomic analysis using lifelike dummies to examine the work space and operability. As a part of the integrated design system, a design automation system was also developed to generate surface point data for the outer hull, pressure hull, casing, and sail. The whole process was applied to the design of a submarine for verification.

Unlike structures in the air, the vibration analysis of a submerged or floating structure such as offshore structures or ships is possible only when the fluid-structure interaction is understood, as the whole or part of the structure is in contact with water. Specially, the importance of the added mass is not necessary to say like the submerged vehicle, all of the hull body, is positioned in the water. This paper introduce two method to find natural frequency in consideration of fluid-structure modal coupled vibration analysis. The purpose of this study is to analyze of the vibration characteristic of submerged vehicle to obtain the anti-vibration design data, which could be used in the preliminary design stage data. Underwater pressure hull of submerged vehicle is used as the model of this study. The F.E.M model is meshed by shell and beam element. Also, considering of the inner hull weight, mass element is distributed in the direction of hull length. Numerical calculations are accomplished using the commercial B.E.M code. The characteristics of natural frequency(eigenvalues), mode shape(eigenvectors) and frequency-displacement response are analyzed. The results of this study will be used as the useful design data in preliminary anti-vibration design stage.

This research investigated to find out the possibilities of applying FRPs to the AUVs. In this study, two kinds of metal materials, which is one of the popularly used materials for manufacturing AUVs, and 6 kinds of FRP materials were considered. Material properties of FRPs were derived by tensile tests and chemical analysis. Moreover, various types of AUVs were designed by 8 kinds of materials. From structural analysis, we can find out that the weights of AUV by CFRP-Autoclave could be reduced by 60% in comparison with the weights of AUV by Al 7075-T6. Also, 40% weight reduction could be expected compared to the AUV by Ti-6Al-4V. In this result, we could conclude that the material of CFRP-Autoclave have various merits and potentialities as one of the AUV materials.
