This paper presents the results of the structural analysis and the optimization of a 6,500 m manned submersible. Nonlinear structural analysis for imperfect spheres with the maximum allowable out-of-roundness(OOR) was performed to calculate the thickness of the pressure hull. Dimensions of viewports were determined according to ASME PVHO standard. The design optimization of the spherical hull with openings was divided into two steps - the optimization of the detailed shape of the viewport reinforcements and the optimization of the viewport location in the spherical pressure hull.

Safety is always acritical focus of exploration of ocean resources, and it is well recognized that human factor is one of the major causes of accidents and breakdowns. Our research developed a dynamic human reliability assessment approach, Predicted Mean Vote-Cognitive Reliability and Error Analysis Method (PMV-CREAM), that is applicable to monitoring the cognitive reliability of oceanauts during deep-sea missions. Taking into account the difficult and variable operating environment of manned submersibles, this paper analyzed the cognitive actions of oceanauts during the various procedures required by deep-sea missions, and calculated the PMV index using human factors and dynamic environmental data. The Cognitive Failure Probabilities (CFP) were calculated using the extended CREAM approach. Finally, the CFP were corrected using the PMV index. This PMV-CREAM hybrid model can be utilized to avoid human error in deep-sea research, thereby preventing injury and loss of life during undersea work. This paper verified the method with "Jiaolong" manned submersible 7,000 m dive test. The"Jiaolong" oceanauts CR(Corrected CFP) is dynamic from 3.0615E-3 to 4.2948E-3, the CR caused by the environment is 1.2333E-3. The result shown the PMV-CREAM method could describe the dynamic human reliability of manned submersible caused by thermal environment.

심해 유인 잠수정과 같은 제한된 공간 내에서 다수의 작업자가 장시간 거주하며 작업을 수행하기 위해서는 거주구 관측창 위치 및 기타 운영설비 배치에 있어 인체공학적 설계가 고려되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 구조안전성 평가와 최적설계로 도출된 심해 유인 잠수정의 내압구조 셀 설계안을 대상으로 거주구 관측창 배치를 위한 인체공학적 설계 검토에 대하여 소개한다. 관측창 배치는 작업자 선내 위치, 관측 시야 확보, 편안하고 안전한 작업 여부 등의 다양한 요인과 함께 구조 안전성과 제작성 등이 동시에 고려되어야 한다. 국외 심해 잠수정 개발에서 적용된 인체공학적 설계 관련연구를 소개하고 디지털 휴먼 모델링 S/W인 Santos Engine을 활용한 인체공학적 설계 검토에 대하여 소개한다.

This paper presents the results of a ten-day long survey for assessing the possibility of further oil spillage from the sunken tanker, Kyung-Shin(995 G/T), which had sunken in the East Sea, off Pohang City, in February 1988. The survey was conducted using remotely operated vehicle(ROV), manned submersible and ultrasonic thickness gauge in September 2001. The external inspection by the optical camera shows that small scale oil spill has been continued from the sunken ship. It's hull thickness was also measured at several points of the ship, using an ultrasonic sensor for assessing the current corrosion status of the sunken ship. Taking into account the results of this survey and the existing salvage report, it is estimated that the remaining oil in the tanker is approximately 600 ㎘, and this oil could be leaked into marine environment due to continuous severe corrosion if no preventive is taken.
