  • Corrugated bulkheads for a bulk carrier are divided into watertight bulkheads and deep tank bulkheads. Design of the watertight bulkheads is principally determined by the permissible limit of Classification and IACS requirements. But, the verification of strength through finite element analysis is indispensable for design of the deep tank bulkheads. A stage for stress evaluation of corrugated part is required for optimum structural design of the deep tank bulkheads. Since the finite element analysis for real model requires excessive amount of calculation time, in this study one corrugated structure is replaced with beam element and is idealized as 2 dimensional frame structure connected to upper and lower stool Minimum weight design of the deep tank bulkheads is performed through generalized sloped deflection method(GSDM) as direct calculation method. The purpose of this study is the development of design system for the minimization of steel weight of deep tank bulkheads as well as watertight bulkheads. Discrete variables are used as design variables for the practical design. Evolution strategies(ES) is used as an optimization technique.

  • A liquid storage rectangular tank structures are used In many fields of civil, mechanical and marine engineering. Especially, Ship structures have many tanks In contact with Inner or outer fluid, like ballast, fuel and cargo tanks. Fatigue damages are sometimes observed in these tanks which seem to be caused by resonance with exciting force of engine and propeller. Vibration characteristics of these thin walled tanks in contact with fluid near engine or propeller are strongly affected by added mass of containing fluid. Therefore it is essentially important to estimate the added mass effect to predict vibration of the tank structures. In the previous report, we have developed numerical tool of vibration analysis of 3-dimensional tank structure using finite elements for plates and boundary elements for fluid region. In the present report, using the numerical analysis, vibrations characteristics In deep water tank are investigated and discussed.

  • There are many different types of tanks on ships that meet various requirements. Each tank is required to undergo hydrostatic testing according to the Ship Safety Act after being installed onboard. In some hydrostatic tests, excessive deformation may occur. The overpressure of the air in the tank generated during testing is one of the possible causes of deformation. Based on the dimensions of the tank, nozzle, and pipes installed, it was confirmed that the overpressure of the air can cause problems with the structure, according to the Bernoulli equation. Additionally, finite element analysis (FEA) was performed on the tank structure to confirm the deformation and the stress occurring in the structure. From the perspective of deformation, the maximum deflection limit was set based on the criteria provided by the Eurocode and DNV. From the perspective of stress, the structural safety assessment was performed by comparing the allowable stress and equivalent stress generated in the structure. To determine whether the behavior of the actual structure was well implemented via FEA, beam theory was applied to the tank structure and compared with the FEA results. As a result of the analysis, severe deformation was found in some cases. This means that the overpressure of the air may be the cause of actual deformation. It was also confirmed that permanent deformation may occur.

  • The red seaweed Eucheuma serra is a high yielding source of lectins. The plants were collected from a depth of 5-6 meters and cultured in the laboratory, field and deep seawater. A Daily Growht Rate (DGR) of 3.5% was observed at 18℃ with a low light of 30μmol photon $ m^{-2} · s^{_1}$ in the laboratory. When the plants were cultured in the field at different depths during winter onths of December and January, best growth was observed at 1 m depth and a DGR of 2.14±0.04% was recorded. The plants grown in the tank with a continuous supply of deep seawater showed a DGR of 8.2% The results indicate that E. serra can be cultivated in large scale both in deep seawater in the tank and in the field for the extraction of lectins at a commercial scale.

  • Recently, the improvement of computational processing ability due to the rapid development of computing technology has greatly advanced the field of artificial intelligence, and research to apply it in various domains is active. In particular, in the national defense field, attention is paid to intelligent recognition among machine learning techniques, and efforts are being made to develop object identification and monitoring systems using artificial intelligence. To this end, various image processing technologies and object identification algorithms are applied to create a model that can identify friendly and enemy weapon systems and personnel in real-time. In this paper, we conducted image processing and object identification focused on tanks among various weapon systems. We initially conducted processing the tanks' image using a convolutional neural network, a deep learning technique. The feature map was examined and the important characteristics of the tanks crucial for learning were derived. Then, using YOLOv5 Network, a CNN-based object detection network, a model trained by labeling the entire tank and a model trained by labeling only the turret of the tank were created and the results were compared. The model and labeling technique we proposed in this paper can more accurately identify the type of tank and contribute to the intelligent recognition system to be developed in the future.

  • <1. New level meter inside the fuel tank> Ultrasound level sensors are widely applied as level meters of liquid tank. Measurement instrument of level between water and fuel is developed. Since the fuel is inflammable, the sensor system doesn't allow to include any electric circuit inside the fuel tank. The optical cable sensor can satisfy this explosive condition. The measurement method with ultrasonic sensor is attached on the tank wall or tank manhole lid. The pressure sensor can't be applied inside the gasoline fuel tank. An ultra-sonic sensor doesn't detect a enough signal reflected from water level deep under gasoline fuel. The pressure sensor is difficult to measure the height o...

  • This study investigates experimentally the optimum mix proportion and design factors of the stabilizing liquid used for excavation of the massive and deep slurry wall in LNG in-ground tank before pouring concrete. Considering those site conditions, the stabilizing liquid used for excavation of slurry wall has to be satisfied with some requirements including specific gravity, fluid loss, cake thickness, funnel viscosity and sand content in order to construct the safe and qualified slurry wall. For this purpose, we select materials including bentonite, polymer and dispersion agent. After performing many tests for materials and mix design process, we propose the optimum mix proportion that the upper limit ratio of bentonite is $2.0\%$, polymer is $0.1\%$ considering the funnel viscosity and dispersion agent is $0.05\%$considering the fluid loss of the stabilizing liquid. Also, we select all materials which are consisted of GTC4 as bentonite, KSTP as polymer and Bentocryl 86 as dispersion agent. Based on the results of this study, the optimum mix proportion of the stabilizing liquid is applicable to excavate the deep and massive slurry wall in LNG in-ground tank successfully.

  • The control architectures of Chuan Suo (CS) deep submergence rescue vehicle are introduced. The hardware and software architectures are also discussed. The hardware part adopts a distributed control system composed of surface and underwater nodes. A computer is used as a surface control machine. Underwater equipment is based on a multi-board-embedded industrial computer with PC104 BUS, which contains IO, A/D, D/A, eight-channel serial, and power boards. The hardware and software parts complete data transmission through optical fibers. The software part involves an IPC of embedded Vxworks real-time operating system, upon which the operation of I/O, A/D, and D/A boards and serial ports is based on; this setup improves the real-time manipulation. The information flow is controlled by the software part, and the thrust distribution is introduced. A submergence vehicle heeling control method based on ballast water tank regulation is introduced to meet the special heeling requirements of the submergence rescue vehicle during docking. Finally, the feasibility and reliability of the entire system are verified by a pool test.
