This paper suggests study of basic structure design and structural analysis for the twin car-ferries. The rules and methodology for the analysis of strength of medium and small high speed vessels with a length of more than 50m and a width / ratio of more than 12, such as car-ferries, have not been clarified yet. Therefore, in this paper, the scantling of the members is based on the Korea Classification standards, and the car-ferries standards were additionally applied to verify the structural strength of the design. The results of this study are expected to be useful as basic data related to structural design and structural analysis of high speed twin car-ferries.

One of good ways to make a ship perform well in rough seas is to reduce its waterplane area and accordingly is subject to a reduced wave exciting forties. However, a great reduction of the waterplane area may create a penalty in speed performance due to the increased ratio of the wetted area to the displacement volume. This paper suggests a new catamaran hull form which compromises the speed and seakeeping quality by increasing the waterplane area somehow compared with that of the conventional SWATH ship. A 350 passenger carrying SWATH ship with a cruising speed of 30 knots in sea state of 4 has been developed and its performance was validated by the model tests. The design concept resistance performance and seakeeping dualities of the design craft are presented together with its comparative performance comparison with other high speed crafts.

There are marry ships and marine structures and also has marry differences on according to the shape and the interval of hulls to the purpose. the multi-submerged body needs appropriate distance between the hulls because of the optimum hull form. thus, through this paper, the flow characteristics behind the multi-submerged body according os the distance ration between the hulls and various angles of attack was conducted.

Because the environmental regulations for ships are getting tighter, green ships employing eco-friendly technology have recently received a large amount of attention. Among them, various studies for electric propulsion ships have been carried out, particularly in the United States, European Union, and Japan. On the other hand, research related to electric propulsion ships in Korea is in a very nascent stage. In this paper, an estimation process based on the rough requirements of ship-owners for the operating performance of electric propulsion ships is proposed. In addition, the estimation process is applied to a small fishing boat for verification of the process. These results are expected to be used as design guidelines in the early stage of the design process for electric propulsion ships.

In this study, we analyzed the resistance performance and running attitude of a catamaran by numerical analysis with a conventional bow, which is generally applied, and a reverse, protruding bow. The shape of the reverse bow was compared through numerical analysis and model tests. The reverse bow shape showed an improved wave pattern by shifting the generation position of the forward divergent wave to the aft in comparison with a conventional bow shape. This effect was found to be effective in determining resistance and stable running attitude. The hull resistance improved by about 2.95 %. The comparative numerical analysis and model test for the reverse bow shape completed in this study should be useful for future hull design application.

In this study, the effect of hull appendages on the high-speed catamarans with reverse bow shapes is compared and analyzed by numerical analysis and circulating water tank model test. The reverse bow shape showed an improved wave shape by shifting the generation position of forward divergent wave to the stern direction and was effective in resistance and stable running posture (Kim et al., 2019). In the model test results of the running performance as the wave patterns and the change of the running posture due to the fin fitted with the inner side of the inverted bow and the interceptor, 1) Trim characteristics of the inverted bow 2) Improvement of superposition of inner wave by Fin 3) The trim control by the fin and the interceptor is considered to be effective in reducing the impact of the two hull connection decks (wetdeck).

The use of high-strength aluminum alloys for ships and of shore structures has many benefits compared to carbon steels. Recently, high-strength aluminum alloys have been widely used in onshore and of shore industries, and they are widely used for the side shell structures of special-purpose ships. Their use in box girders of bridge structures and in the topside of fixed platforms is also becoming more widespread. Use of aluminum material can reduce fuel consumption by reducing the weight of the composite material through a weight composition ratio of 1/3 compared to carbon steel. The characteristics of the stress strain relationship of an aluminum structure are quite different from those of a steel structure, because of the influence of the welding[process heat affected zone (HAZ). The HAZ of aluminum is much wider than that of steel owing to its higher heat conductivity. In this study, by considering the HAZ generated by metal insert gas (MIG) welding, the buckling and final strength characteristics of an aluminum reinforcing plate against longitudinal compression loads were analyzed. MIG welding reduces both the buckling and ultimate strength, and the energy dissipation rate after initial yielding is high in the range of the HAZ being 15 mm, and then the difference is small when HAZ being 25 mm or more. Therefore, it is important to review and analyze the influence of the HAZ to estimate the structural behavior of the stiffened plate to which the aluminum alloy material is applied.
