In this paper, we design a wedge type rail clamp which can protect container crane from wind with constant clamping force regardless of the operating period. When we design wedge type rail clamp. it is important to determine the angle of wedge and analyze a contact condition of roller and wedge so that we might develop a rail clamp with variable capacity. Therefore, this paper suggest a process to decide wedge angles within feasible range which could be obtained using load analysis and FEA of wedge type rail clamp.

In this paper, we design a wedge type rail-clamp which can protect container crane from wind with constant clamping force regardless of the operating period. When we design wedge type rail clamp, it is important to determine the weight for locker to descent smoothly with an initial clamping force of rail and pad. Therefor, this paper suggest a process to decide a wright within proper range which could be obtained using FEA of wedge type rail clamp.

소음저감 설계기술은 제품의 경쟁력 향상을 위해 일반인이 쉽게 접근할 수 잇는 가전제품, 자동차, 항공기 분야 등에서 많은 연구가 수행되어 왔으며, 최근 소음환경 규제가 강화되고 대형기계의 설치 위치가 주거지역과 가까워지므로 산업용 기계설비의 소음제어에 대한 관심이 점차 증대되고 있다. 특히 디젤 엔진 발전기 세트를 이용해서 전원을 공급하는 산업용 기계에 있어서는 디젤 엔진과 발전기가 주소음원이며, 크게 기계적 소음, 공기 역학적 소음, 그리고 전자기 소음 등으로 분류된다. 본 연구는 이러한 소음을 발생시키는 엔진(Engine), 발전기(Generator), 방열팬(Radiator Fan) 등의 성능을 개선시켜 소음을 감소시키는 것이 아니라, 외부 덮개(Canopy)에 흡음재를 부착하여 소음저감 방법을 채택했다. 연구대상으로서는 항만에서 컨테이너(Container)를 운송하는 이동용 크레인(Transfer Crane)의 엔진 발전기 세트(set)로서, 각 구성품(엔진, 발전기, 방열 팬)의 음향 덮개의 내부구조를 설계하였다. 그리고 덮개 내부 온도를 일정하게 유지시키기 위하여 엔진에서 방사하는 방열공기와 내부로 흡입되는 냉각공기의 열유동장 해석도 병행하였다.

본 연구에서는 컨테이너 터미널의 자동화 설비 중 안벽용 크레인(Quay Crane: QC)과 장치장용 크레인(Automated Transfer Crance: ATC)간의 컨테이너 이송을 담당하는 AGV(Automated Guided Vehicle)의 운영에 관한 시뮬레이션을 수행할 수 있는 전용의 시 뮬레이터를 개발하는데 목적은 두고 수행하였다. 자동화 컨테이너 터미널의 처리 능력은 선석의 QC 능력에 의해서 결정되지만, QC의 능력을 최적화하기 위해서는 컨테이너 터미널 내에서의 AGV의 운영 효율이 결정적인 역할을 한다. 또한 AGV의 운영 효율에는 장치장의 ATC 작업시간이 영향을 준다. 연구결과, AGV의 운영 효율 평가를 위한 시뮬레이터를 개발하였으며, 이를 이용하여 QC의 작업시간과 ATC의 작업시간에 따른 AGV의 적정대수를 산출하였다. 본 시뮬레이터는 실제 컨테이너 터미널의 운영 상대와 유사한 시뮬레이션을 수행할 수 있고, 컨데이니 터미널의 운영 능력을 산출하는데 적합하도록 개발되었다.

Recently, fuzzy and neural network techniques have been successfully applied to control of complex and ill-defined system in a wide variety of areas, such as robot, water purification, automatic train operation system and automatic container crane operation system, etc. In this paper, we present a neuro-fuzzy controller which unifies both fuzzy logic and multi-layered feedforward neural networks. Fuzzy logic provides a means for converting linguistic control knowledge into control actions. On the other hand, feedforward neural networks provide salient features, such as learning and parallelism. In the proposed neuro-fuzzy controller, the parameters of membership functions in the antecedent part of fuzzy inference rules are identified by using the error backpropagation algorithm as a learning rule, while the coefficients of the linear combination of input variables in the consequent part are determined by using the least square estimation method. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed controller is verified through computer simulation of an inverted pendulum system.

This paper is concerned with an optimum design study of containerships in preliminary stage by applying economic criteria. The Net Present Value Index (NPVI) and the Required Freight Rate(RFR) are used as measures of merit. Hooke & Jeeves direct search method and External Penalty Function method of Sequential Unconstrained Minimization Techniques(SUMT) are used for solving constrained nonlinear optimization problem. Sensitivity analysis is carried out to investigate the effect on the optimum solution due to change of values in some parameters such as crane capacity, load factor, oil price, ship speed and the ratio between loaded FEU and TEU.

The purpose of this paper is to show the clustering measurement way for Korean container terminals by using neural network based SOM(Self Organizing Map). Inputs[Number of Employee, Quay Length, Container Terminal Area, Number of Gantry Crane], and output[TEU] are used for 3 years(2002,2003, and 2004) for 8 Korean container terminals by applying both DEA and SOM models. Empirical main results are as follows: First, the result of DEA analysis shows the possibility for clustering among the terminals and reference terminals except Gamcheon and Gwangyang terminals because of the locational closeness. Second, the result of neural network based SOM clustering analysis shows the positive clustering in clustering positions 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Third, the results between SOM clustering and DEA clustering show the matching ratio about 67%. The main policy implication based on the findings of this study is that the port policy planner of Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs in Korea should introduce the clustering measurement way for the Korean container terminals using neural network based SOM with DEA models for clustering Korean ports and terminals.

In this paper, we introduce an integrated communication and control system(ICCS) for control of a crane. The system is integrated with a compasite technique as a network interfacing, a user interfacing and a system control for continuous process like as a container crane. The field-bus(Profibus) network module is used to interconnect each input/output module with main control unit. The MMI system for user interfacing is integrated with an ODBC-based data management tool and IECl131-based control logic design tool(Soft-Logic Designer:SLD). The each programmed control task in the main Controller is executed using a petri-net based scheduler.

Wire ropes are used in a myriad of various industrial applications such as elevator, mine hoist, construction machinery, lift, and suspension bridge. Especially, the wire rope of crane is important component to container transfer. If it happens wire rope failures during the operation, it may lead to safety accident, economic loss by productivity decline and so on. To solve this problem, we developed remote wire rope fault detecting system, and this system is consisted of 3 parts that portable fault detecting part, signal processing part and remote monitoring part. All detected signal has external noise or disturbance according to circumstances. So, we applied to discrete wavelet transform to extract a signal from noisy data. It is verified that the detecting system by de-noising has good efficiency for inspecting faults of wire ropes in service. As a result, by developing this system, container terminal could reduce expense because of extension fo wire ropes exchange period and could competitive power. Also, this system is possible to apply in several field such as elevator, lift and so on.
