This paper presents the design concept and operation results of float-off for FSO (340,000 DWT Class, ELF AMENAM KPONO Project) built on the ground, without dry dock facilities. It was the first attempt to build FSO, completely, on the ground and launch it using DBU (Double Barge Unit, which was connected by rigid frame structure.) The major characteristics of FSO, which are similar to general VLCC type hull, including topside structure, weigh 51,000 metric ton. In order to have sufficient stability during the deck immersion of DBU, while passing through a minimum water plane area zone, proper trim control was completed with LMC (Load Master Computer). The major features of the monitoring system include calculation for transverse bending moment, shear force, local strength check of each connector, based on component stress, and deformation check during the load-out and float-off. Another major concern during the operation was to avoid damages at the bottom and sides of FSO, due to motion & movement after free-floating; therefore, adequate clearances between DBU and FSO were to be provided, and guide posts were installed to prevent side damage of the DBU casings. This paper also presents various measures that indecate the connector bending moment, damage stability analysis, and mooring of DBU during float off.

The paper deals with comparative study of various surrogate models based approximate optimization in the structural design of the passive type deck support frame under design load conditions. The passive type deck support frame was devised to facilitate both transportation and installation of 20,000 ton class topside. Structural analysis was performed using the finite element method to evaluate the strength performance of the passive type deck support frame in its initial design stage. In the structural analysis, the strength performances were evaluated for various design load conditions. The optimum design problem based on surrogate model was formulated such that thickness sizing variables of main structure members were determined by minimizing the weight of the passive type deck support frame subject to the strength performance constraints. The surrogate models used in the approximate optimization were response surface method, Kriging model, and Chebyshev orthogonal polynomials. In the context of numerical performances, the solution results from approximate optimization were compared to actual non-approximate optimization. The response surface method among the surrogate models used in the approximate optimization showed the most appropriate optimum design results for the structure design of the passive type deck support frame.

본 연구에서는 해양플랫폼의 탑사이드 구조에서 주로 채택하고 있는 파이프 연결 구조의 피로 수명 증가를 위한 방안을 찾기 위하여, 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 상용해석프로그램인 MSC Patran/Nastran을 적용하였으며, 대표적인 중앙부 구조 형상을 해석모델로 선정하였다. 하중에 따른 응력집중 현상을 구현하기 위하여, 8 절점 솔리드 요소를 이용한 모델링을 구현하였다. 주요하중은 횡방향 하중 2가지와 대각선 파이프에 인장 하중을 고려하였다. 주요 위치에서의 Hot spot 응력을 확인하기 위하여, 0.01 mm dummy 쉘 요소를 적용하였으며, 0.5 t와 1.5 t 위치에서의 주응력을 계산한 후 외삽법에 따라 용접부에 발생하는 응력을 추정하였다. 일부 구간에서는 만족해야 하는 피로 수명 이하로 평가되어, 보강이 필요하였다. 보강은 기존 설계된 파이프의 두께나 지름을 변경하지 않고, 피로수명이 부족한 부위에 응력집중계수를 낮출 수 있도록 브래킷을 추가하였다. 인장 하중에 대해서는 bracket toe에서 응력은 23 % 증가하였고, 기존에 문제가 된 파이프의 내측, 외측에서의 응력은 약 8 % 감소하였다. 휨 하중에 대해서는 bracket toe에서 응력은 3 % 증가하였고, 기존에 문제가 된 파이프의 내측, 외측에서의 응력은 약 48 % 감소하였다. 신규 브래킷 보강으로 인하여, bracket toe의 응력증가가 발생하였지만, S-N 커브 자체가 파이프 조인트에 비해 좋으므로 큰 문제가 되지는 않는다. 본 연구에서 적용한 국부 보강을 통한 피로 수명 개선 방법은 기존 설계안의 변경을 최소화하면서 피로 수명 증가를 효율적으로 할 수 있다는 점에서 관련 산업에서 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study proposes an empirical formulation to predict the maximum deformation of offshore blast wall structure that is subjected to impact loading caused by hydrocarbon explosion. The blast wall model is assumed to be supported by a simply-supported boundary condition and corrugated panel is modelled. In total, 1,620 cases of LS-DYNA simulations were conducted to predict the maximum deformation of blast wall, and they were then used as input data for the development of the empirical formulation by regression analysis. Stainless steel was employed as materials and the strain rate effect was also taken into account. For the development of empirical formulation, a wide range of parametric studies were conducted by considering the main design parameters for corrugated panel, such as geometric properties (corrugation angle, breadth, height and thickness) and load profiles (peak pressure and time). In the case of the blast profile, idealised triangular shape is assumed. It is expected that the obtained empirical formulation will be useful for structural designers to predict maximum deformation of blast wall installed in offshore topside structures in the early design stage.

The 36,8000 DWT class FPSO was built in Hyundai Heavy Industries and will be installed in Offshore Angola. She dose not have self-propulsion system, but has additional facilities for oil production and positioning system. Main noise sources are contributing to the cabin noise of the accommodation are classified into three classes such as the machinery in the engine room and the deckhouse, HVAC system, and the topside equipments. In general, the noise regulation for the offshore structure is severer than that of the cargo ship and acceptable noise limit of cabin is specified as 45 dB(A). This paper describes the procedure of noise analysis, the countermeasures of noise control, and the measurement results of the quay trial. In order to minimize the noise levels, careful attention have to be paid by the special committee of experts from the initial design stage to the delivery. Proper countermeasures, considering the characteristics of sources and receiver spaces, were applied from the noise prediction and various experiment results. Finally, this ship was successfully delivered with excellent noise properties. The technology to minimize the noise levels for FPSO has been established throughout the construction of this ship.

Current industrial practices and approaches are simplified and do not describe the actual behavior of plated elements of offshore topside structures for safety design due to fires. Therefore, it is better to make up for the defective methods with integrated fire safety design methods based on fire resistance characteristics such as residual strength capacity. This study numerically investigates the residual strength of steel stiffened panels exposed to hydrocarbon jet fire. A series of nonlinear finite element analyses (FEAs) were carried out with varying probabilistic selected exposures in terms of the jet fire location, side, area, and duration. These were used to assess the effects of exposed fire on the residual strength of a steel stiffened panel on a ship-shaped offshore structure. A probabilistic approach with a feasible fire location was used to determine credible fire scenarios in association with thermal structural responses. Heat transfer analysis was performed to obtain the steel temperature, and then the residual strength was obtained for the credible fire scenarios under compressive axial loading using nonlinear FEA code. The results were used to derive closed-form expressions to predict the residual strength of steel stiffened panels with various exposure to jet fire characteristics. The results could be used to assess the sustainability of structures at risk of exposure to fire accidents in offshore installations.

다목적 실용위성 1호는 고도 685km, $98^{\circ}$의 궤도 경사각를 가지며, 탑재된 이온층 측정 센서(Ionospheric Measurement Sensor)로 전자 온도와 전자 밀도를 측정하였다. 이 관측 자료로부터 22:50LT인 밤 시간에 $+60^{\circ}~-60^{\circ}$의 저위도 지역에서 자기적으로 안정한 상태(Kp <4)의 계절별 전자 밀도와 전자 온도의 분포를 구하였다. 관측 결과, 전자 온도와 전자 밀도의 분포는 계절과 경도에 따라 변화를 나타냈다. 대체로 전자 밀도는 자기 적도 부근에서 높아지고, 전자 온도는 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 봄, 가을에는 전자 밀도와 온도 모두 자기 적도를 중심으로 대칭적으로 분포하였다. 그러나 여름에는 전체적으로 북반구 쪽으로 이동하여 전자 밀도의 극대점과 전자 온도의 극소점이 자기 적도 북쪽에 위치하였고, 겨울에는 이와 반대의 변화를 나타냈다. 또한, 각 계절에서 경도에 따라서도 전자 온도와 밀도 분포의 차이를 보였다. 이러한 차이가 생기는 원인은 경도와 계절에 따라 달라지는 F층의 중성 바람이 이온층 플라즈마에 영향을 주는 것에 의해 설명될 수 있다. 이 관측에서 얻은 전자온도와 밀도의 분포는 IRI95모델을 이용해 구한 분포와 차이를 보였다.

Motion reduction of an offshore structure at resonant frequency is essential for avoiding critical damage to the topside and mooring system. A damping plate has a distinct advantage in reducing the motion of a floating structure by increasing the added mass and the damping coefficient. In this study, the heave motion responses of a circular cylinder with an impermeable and a permeable damping plate attached at the bottom of the cylinder were investigated thru a model test. The viscous damping coefficients for various combinations of porosity were obtained from a free-decay test by determining the ratio between any pair of successive amplitudes. Maximum energy dissipation occurred at a porous plate with a porosity P = 0.1008. Experimental results for regular and irregular waves were compared with an analytical solution by Cho (2011). The measured heave RAO and spectrum reasonably followed the trends of the predicted values. A significant motion reduction at resonant frequency was pronounced and the heaving-motion energy calculated by the integration of the area under the heave motion spectrum was reduced by more than 75% by the damping plate. However, additional energy dissipation by eddies of strong vorticity and flow separation inside a porous damping plate was not found in the present experiments.
