Spherical type LNG carrier has many advantages, but has a demerit it is more expensive than membrane type one. Therefore, when calculating the initial estimate of spherical type LNG carrier, high accuracy calculation of tank weight has to be carried out. In this study the simplified analysis method which is able to calculate stresses of all the tank zones is established and has special feature to deal with static and dynamic loading. In order to verify the established method, the design results obtained through the method in this study have been compared with those of existing ship obtained from finite element analysis. As a result, the usability of simplified analysis method has been confirmed.

This paper introduces the outline of hull structure to the sorts of LNG carrier briefly. Especially, explains in detail for the insulation system of Moss Rosenberg Verft spherical tank type LNG carrier. It is not easy task to calculate exactly the temperature distribution of hull because of very complicated structure of hull. Therefore, in this paper by the adequate modeling of the Moss Rosengerg spherical tank type LNG carrier, a program is developed which calculate the temperature distribution of every hull and estimate the heat influx from every hull and output the BOR according to the variation of atmospheric conditions on boyage.

This paper introduced the thermal characteristics of Moss Rosenberg Verft spherical tank type LNG Carrier. Especially described the temperature variation during cooling down condition. It is not easy task to calculate the temperature variation because of unsteady state condition. In this paper, computer simulation program is developed by using a Tomas Algorithm on unsteady state condition and compared with calculation results and experimental results on existing LNG Carrier voyage.

Insulation system of LNG carrier has made important roles such as maintaining a proper Boil off Ratio(BOR) for the cargo and avoiding the excessive low temperature of the adjacent inner hull beyond the permissible limit. At the same time, safety and economy of the LNG transportation by the ship are connected with the performance of the insulation system. Also, thermal insulation system of LNG carrier is one of the most advanced technique with the structure analysis of tank, welding and assembling. In this study a computer program is developed to calculate the hull temperature distribution and BOR, which are important factors in thermal design for the Moss Rosenberg Verft spherical tank type LNG carrier. Detailed results for hhull temperature distribution close to LNG tank, BOR and the thickness effect of insulation material are reported in this paper in the range of standare design sea condition.

One of the most efficient designs for manufacturing LNG tank is the Moss spherical type because it has been validated through precise analyses with respect to reliability and construction safety by stress analysis. The Moss spherical tank is assembled with hundreds of Al thick plate patches that are deformed to curved shape at elevated temperature and welded together. It is essential to evaluate the amount of deflection in the Al5083 thick plate when the patch is transferred from the heating chamber to the forming die since the patch has a length of 12,000 mm and a thickness of 60 mm. Based on FE analysis results, a design procedure for minimizing deflection in Al5083 thick plate during transfer using a moving carrier is demonstrated in this paper.

LNG 운반선용 구형 탱크의 제작을 위해서는 탱크의 크기에 따라 별도의 공장 설비가 필요하며 시설 투자의 한계로 인해 현실적으로 조선소에서 다양한 크기의 완전 구형 LNG 탱크를 제작하는 것은 매우 어려운 일이다. 다양한 용량의 LNG 탱크 제작을 위해서는 기존 구형 탱크의 중앙부에 원통 형태의 확장부를 삽입하여 적재 용량을 키우는 방법이 효과적이다. 본 연구에서는 원통 확장부를 갖는 구형 LNG 탱크에 대하여 수평 가속도에 의한 동적 압력분포 산출식을 유도하였다. 본 논문에서 유도한 압력 분포 산출식을 이용함으로써 원통 확장부를 갖는 구형 탱크를 화물창 형식으로 하는 LNG 운반선의 구조설계 시 구조 안전성 평가를 위한 동적 설계하중을 간편하게 구하여 해석에 적용할 수 있다. 또한, 이미 개발되어 있는 원통 확장부를 갖는 구형 LNG 탱크의 정적 하중에 대한 설계하중 산출식과 결합함으로써 정적 및 동적하중을 모두 고려한 정도 높은 간이해석법의 개발이 가능하며, 이를 통해 초기 견적 시 많은 시간과 비용을 소요하는 유한요소 해석을 대신하여 짧은 시간에 정도 높은 물량 산출이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
