Underwater acoustic sensors are mounted on unmanned underwater vehicles(UUV) and detect and process the underwater information. These underwater acoustic sensor designs are very important subject for understanding and applying engineering. Therefore, in this paper, it was designed and fabricated the acoustic sensors step by step, evaluated their performance, and then studied the suitability of such a series of design procedures and steps to apply them to the integrated design learning. The results of the questionnaire survey showed that the steps and methods of the proposed sensor design are suitable for the contents of the integrated design project, and they are easy to acquire the technology and are very interesting design topics. It is anticipated that when the design project is applied to the integrated design in the future, high educational achievement will be achieved.

In this study, the dynamic structural behavior of pressure vessels due to pressure pulse initiated by implosion of neighbouring airbacked equipments including Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUV), sensor system, and so on were dealt with for the structural design and safety assessment of pressure hulls of submarine. The dynamic buckling and collapse responses of pressure vessel in deep sea were investigated considering the effects of initial hydrostatic pressure and fluid-structure interactions. The governing equations for circular cylindrical shells were formulated theoretically assuming a relatively simple displacement fields and the derived nonlinear simultaneous ordinary differential equations were analysed by developed numerical solution algorithm. Finally, the introduced safety assessment procedures for the dynamic buckling behaviors of pressure hulls due to implosion pressure pulse were validated by comparing the theoretical analysis results with those of experiments for examples of simple cylinders.

This paper introduces a technique for calculating the degree of collision risk used in collision avoidance system of AUVs. The collision risk will be reckoned with the fuzzy inference, which uses TCPA(Time of the Closest Point of Approach) and DCPA(Distance of the Closest Point of Approach) as factors. A method to obtain TCPA and DCPA for 3-dimension is suggested. The degree of collision risk is provided to collision avoidance system, and is verified the effectiveness through simulation.
