IMO type C independent tank is one of the cargo containment system specified on IGC code. It is normally adopted for small and medium size liquefied gas carrier's cargo containment system and it can be applied to fuel tank of LNG fueled vessel. This study focuses on rule scantling process and evaluation methods in early design stage of type C independent tank. Actual design results of 22K LPG/Ammonia/VCM carrier's No.2 cargo tank are demonstrated. This paper presents the calculation methods of design acceleration and liquid height for internal design pressure as defined on IGC code. And this paper shows the applied results of classification rules about shell thickness requirement and buckling strength. Additionally this paper deals with evaluation methods of structural strength and cumulative fatigue damage using FE analysis.

Recently, ship owners have been requiring the assessment of the maneuverability of a twin-screw ship under machinery failures. In this paper, we are only focused on the propulsion failure among propulsion failure, power supply failure, steering system failure etc. First of all, the mathematical model for the twin-screw 174K LNGC is verified by comparing the simulated results for $35^{\circ}$ turning test, $10^{\circ}/10^{\circ}$ zigzag test and $20^{\circ}/20^{\circ}$ zigzag test under normal operating condition and those obtained from free running model tests. And, sea trial results of 216K LNGC under single propeller failure are compared with those of 174K LNGC under identical condition to verify the proposed method to predict maneuverability under single propeller failure. After the straight line maneuver is simulated under the single propeller failure, the speed and equilibrated heading and rudder deflection angles at steady state are predicted. After the IMO maneuvering tests are simulated under the single propeller failure, the results are reviewed to investigate the maneuvering characteristics due to the failure.

본 논문은 LNG 선박의 이중연료엔진의 이중벽 가스파이프의 재료인 STS 304와 STS 316L에 대하여 GTAW에 의해 용접된 동종 및 이종 용접부의 기계적 특성과 용접성을 평가하였다. STS 304 동종 용접부의 경우, STS 316L 동종 용접부에 비해 모재 대비 현저하게 기계적 특성이 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 미세조직 관찰 결과, STS 304 동종 용접부가 STS 316L 동종 용접부에 비해 침상 페라이트가 많이 형성되어 상대적으로 높은 경도를 나타냈다.

Recently, there has been an increase in the demand for natural gas as a source of clean energy, which has increased the demand for LNG carriers. However, LNG carriers require a capital investment to obtain equipment for the regasification process, which prevents fires and explosions. Thus, on account of NIMBY, a CNG carrier is suggested that eliminates the need for regasification equipment. Meanwhile, carbon dioxide emissions are more and more regulated by international conventions such as the Kyoto Protocol. Because of this, $CO_2$ carriers have also received international attention as a methodology to transport and store $CO_2$ cargoes. Several vessels or tanks to transport and store $CO_2$ gas have been studied in various countries. This paper proposes a conceptual design for a 20ft container shaped tank to effectively transport small cargoes of $CO_2$ and CNG. The proposed pressure vessel or tank will be carried by a conventional containership or special cargo ship. The influences of the design parameters for proposed pressure vessel or tank. Including the materials, scantlings, and shape of the pressure vessel, are studied theoretically and computationally.

Austenite stainless steel(ASS), aluminum alloy and nickel steel alloy are the most widely used in many cryogenic applications due to superior mechanical properties at low temperature. The Face-Centered Cubic(FCC) and Hexagonal Close-Packed(HCP) materials are used for the primary and secondary insulation barrier of Liquefied Natural Gas(LNG) carrier tank and various kinds of LNG applications currently. In this study, tensile tests of ASS, aluminum alloy and nickel steel alloy were carried out for the acquisition of quantitative mechanical properties under the cryogenic environment. The range of thermal condition was room temperature to $-163^{\circ}C$ and strain rate range was 0.00016/s to 0.01/s considering the dependencies of temperatures and strain rates. The comprehensive test data were analyzed in terms of the characteristics of mechanical behavior for the development of constitutive equation and its application.

This study is concerned with the thermal analysis during the cool-down period of 135,000 $m^3$ class GT-96 membrane type LNG carrier under IMO design condition. The cool-down is performed to cool the insulation wall and the natural gas in cargo tank for six hours to avoid the thermal shock at the start of loading of $-163^{\circ}C$ LNG. During the cool-down period, the spraying rate for the NG cooling decreases as the temperature of NG falls clown from $-40^{\circ}C$ to $-130^{\circ}C$ and the spraying rate for the insulation wall cooling increases as the temperature gradient of the insulation wall is large. It was confirmed that there existed the largest temperature decrease at the 1 st barrier and 1st insulation, which are among the insulation wall, especially in the top side of the insulation wall. By the 3-D numerical calculation about the cargo tank and the cofferdam during the cool-down period, the temperature variation in hulls and insulations is precisely predicted.

본 논문에서는 MATLAB/SIMULINK 기반의 LNG 선박용 Power Generator 모델링을 수행하고 시뮬레이션 결과 모니터링이 가능한 인터페이스를 구현하였다. Power Generator의 주요 구성은 기계적 동력을 공급하는 엔진부(Diesel 엔진, Turbine 엔진)와 기계적 동력을 받아 전력을 생산 및 공급을 하는 동기발전기가 있다. 또한, 단일 용량을 초과하는 전체 부하를 공유하기 위해 병렬 연결된 Generator의 Load Sharing과 선박의 가상 부하에 따른 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과와 가상 부하에 따른 예상 결과의 비교를 통해 Power Generator 모델링의 신뢰성을 검증하였다.

The membrane of the LNG carriers consists of thin strips of INVAR(Fe-36%Ni) steel plates, and the junction between INVAR strips is fabricated by welding. Thousands of the raised edge joints, regularly spaced, are located around all the side of the tank corner near the transverse bulkhead, and TIG welding is manually made on the top of the raised edges. Since the thickness of all the laminated edge plies is extremely thin and the weld position is under a bad accessibility, highly skilled workers are required to perform welding relatively for a long welding time. An alternative scheme for the corner membrane fabrication is proposed in the study to improve the installation workability and thus productivity. The scheme replaces the welded edges with the preformed corrugation ones. A panel strip with regularly-spaced corrugations is installed at the corner instead of the individual flat strip of which edge is vertically raised to be welded with the adjacent strip. In the study, a series of the evaluation on the corrugated edge members was performed to assess the applicability to the real LNG carrier fabrication. Opening displacement at the raised edge was experimentally examined. Elastic stiffness regressed from the displacement was nearly same in both edge types. Edge displacement and local stresses were calculated under hydrostatic pressure and temperature change due to liquefied cargo. Fatigue test was performed on both corrugated and welded edge specimens consisting of two or five plies of invar strips. Fatigue strength of the corrugated specimens was not less than that of the welded specimens.

LNG선이나 해양플랜트 같은 설비나 구조물은 작동 조건을 고려할 때, 특히 부재마다 가지는 고유한 연성 취성천이온도(Ductile to Brittle Transition Temperature, DBTT)를 고려하여 설계되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 해양플랜트 및 LNG선에 hull plate로 쓰이는 A-grade 연강(mild steel)에 대해 DBTT를 샤르피 V-노치(CVN) 실험을 통해 알아보았고 파괴형상을 통한 파괴거동을 살펴보았다. 그 결과 온도가 감소함에 따라 충격 흡수에너지는 감소함을 보였다. Upper shelf energy region과 lower shelf energy region이 나타나고 그 사이 구간의 천이점을 통해 DBTT가 결정되었다. 파괴형상에서는 upper shelf energy region에서 수많은 딤플이 연성파괴 형상으로 관찰되고 lower shelf energy region에서는 전형적인 취성파단형상이 관찰되었다. 이를 통해 BCC 구조를 가지는 A-grade 연강은 upper shelf energy 구역과 lower shelf energy구역을 보이고 그 사이 구간의 천이점에서 급격하게 온도가 떨어지는 DBTT구간을 뚜렷하게 보이는 특성을 알 수 있었다.

일반적으로 LPG 운반선의 화물창은 국제해사기구(IMO)에서 정의한 독립형 탱크 Type A에 해당하며, 탱크의 외부는 폴리우레탄 폼으로 단열하고, 탱크는 영하 50도에서도 견딜 수 있는 값비싼 저온 강으로 제작된다. 따라서, 화물창 재료의 절감은 많은 비용의 절감으로 직결된다. 화물창은 외판, 격벽, 보강재, 웨브 프레임 및 스트링거로 구성된다. 그 중에서 외판, 격벽과 보강재는 구조해석 없이 선급 규정에 의해 설계될 수 있어 용이하게 최적 설계를 통해 설계된다. 하지만, 웨브 프레임과 스트링거는 구조해석을 통해 설계하고 선급승인을 받아야 하므로, 수없이 많은 구조해석을 포함하는 최적 설계는 사실상 수행하지 못하고, 수 십 번의 구조해석을 통해 설계치수를 결정하는 적정설계만을 수행하는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 유한요소해석을 위해 2번 화물창을 대표 화물창으로 선정하여 8개의 하중조건을 적용하였고, 각 하중조건에 대한 선박 전체의 변형을 고려하였다. 또한, 탐색시간이 효과적인 미분 기반 최적화 기법을 통해 82,000 ㎥ LNG 운반선의 웨브 프레임을 대상으로 최소중량설계를 수행하였다. 본 연구를 통해 총 48개의 설계변수 치수를 결정하였고, 척 당 약 108 톤의 강재를 절감하였다.
