Prediction of the stability for ships is very complex in reality. In this paper, risk based approach is applied to predict the probability of capsize for a certified ship, which is effected by the forces of sea especially the wave loading Safety assessment and risk analysis process are also applied for the probabilistic prediction of stability for ships. The probability of shipsencountering different waves at sea is calculated by the existed statistics data and risk based models. Finally, ship capsizing probability is calculated according to single degree of freedom(SDF) rolling differential equation and basin erosion theory of nonlinear dynamics. Calculation results show that the survival probabilities of ship excited by the forces of the seas, especially in the beam seas status, can be predicted by the risk based method.

When caissons are mounted on a floating transportation barge and towed by a tug boat in waves, motion of the floating dock creates inertia and gravity-induced slip forces on the caisson. If its magnitude exceeds the corresponding friction force between the two surfaces, a slip may occur, which can lead to an unwanted accident. In oblique waves, both pitch and roll motions occur simultaneously and their coupling effects for slip and friction forces become more complicated. With the presence of strong winds, the slip force can appreciably be increased to make the situation worse. In this regard, the safety of the transportation process of a caisson mounted on a floating dock for various wind-wave conditions is investigated. The analysis is done by both frequency-domain approach and time-domain approach, and their differences as well as pros and cons are discussed. It is seen that the time-domain approach is more direct and accurate and can include nonlinear contributions as well as viscous effects, which are typically neglected in the linear frequency-domain approach.

Typical results obtained by a newly developed, nonlinear time domain hybrid method for simulating large amplitude motions of ships advancing with constant forward speed in waves are presented. The method is hybrid in the way of combining a time-domain transient Green function method and a Rankine source method. The present approach employs a simple double integration algorithm with respect to time to simulate the free-surface boundary condition. During the simulation, the diffraction and radiation forces are computed by pressure integration over the mean wetted surface, whereas the incident wave and hydrostatic restoring forces/moments are calculated on the instantaneously wetted surface of the hull. Typical numerical results of application of the method to the seakeeping performance of a standard containership, namely the ITTC S175, are herein presented. Comparisons have been made between the results from the present method, the frequency domain 3D panel method (NEWDRIFT) of NTUA-SDL and available experimental data and good agreement has been observed for all studied cases between the results of the present method and comparable other data.

The submerged body near the free surface is disturbed by the 1st and 2nd order wave forces, which results in unstable movements when no control is applied. In this paper, the vertical motions of the submerged body are analyzed, and the time-variant nonlinear system for the vertical motions of the submerged body is transformed to the time-invariant linear system in state space. Next, depth controller of the submerged body is designed by using LQR control, one of the modern optimal control technique. Numerical simulation shows that effective depth controls can be achieved by LQR control.

This paper compares frequency domain and time domain predictions from the ShipMo3D ship motion library with observed motions from model tests and sea trials. ShipMo3D evaluates hull radiation and diffraction forces using the frequency domain Green function for zero forward speed, which is a suitable approach for ships travelling at moderate speed (e.g., Froude numbers up to 0.4). Numerical predictions give generally good agreement with experiments. Frequency domain and linear time domain predictions are almost identical. Evaluation of nonlinear buoyancy and incident wave forces using the instantaneous wetted hull surface gives no improvement in numerical predictions. Consistent prediction of roll motions remains a challenge for seakeeping codes due to the associated viscous effects.

To investigate the seismic pounding response of long-span bridges with high-piers under strong ground motions, shaking table tests were performed on a 1/10-scaled bridge model consisting of three continuous spans with rigid frames and one simply-supported span. The seismic pounding responses of this bridge model under different earthquake excitations including the uniform excitation and the traveling wave excitations were experimentally studied. The influence of dampers to the seismic pounding effects at the expansion joints was analyzed through nonlinear dynamic analyses in this research. The seismic pounding effects obtained from numerical analyses of the bridge model are in favorable agreement with the experimental results. Seismic pounding effect of bridge superstructures is dependent on the structural dynamic properties of the adjacent spans and characteristics of ground motions. Moreover, supplemental damping can effectively mitigate pounding effects of the bridge superstructures, and reduce the base shear forces of the bridge piers.

경계반력법은 일반적인 복합법에서 필요한 진동수영역과 시간영역의 반복 작업이 필요없는 두 단계의 시간수영역 부구조법이다. 경계반력법은 다음의 두 단계로 나누어진다: (1) 진동수영역에서 선형구간과 비선형구간 경계에서 경계반력계산, (2) 시간영역에서 경계반력을 이용한 파동방사형문제 해석. 이때 시간영역에서는 파동방사형문제를 모사하기 위해 근역지반을 모델링한다. 이 연구에서는 면진원전구조물의 비선형 SSI 해석을 위한 BRM 해석의 근역지반 모델링 범위에 따른 응답을 평가하였다. 이를 위해 등가선형 SSI 문제를 이용하여 매개변수해석을 수행하였다. BRM 응답의 정확성을 평가하기 위해 BRM 응답은 재래의 SSI 해석의 응답과 비교하였다. 수치해석결과 BRM 해석을 위한 근역지반 모델링 범위는 기초의 크기뿐만 아니라 지반조건의 영향을 받았다. 마지막으로, BRM 해석을 면진원전구조물의 비선형 SSI 해석에 적용하므로 BRM의 정확성과 효율성을 입증하였다.

An auto weather-vaning system for a Dynamic Positioning (DP) vessel is proposed. When a DP vessel is operating, its position keeping is hindered by ocean environmental disturbances which include the ocean current, wave and wind. Generally, most ocean vessels have a longitudinal length that is larger than the transverse width. The largest load acts on the DP vessel by ocean disturbances, when the disturbances are incoming in the transverse direction. Weather-vaning is the concept of making the heading angle of the DP vessel head toward (or sway from) the disturbance direction. This enables the DP vessel to not only perform marine operations stably and safely, but also to maintain its position with minimum control forces (surge & sway components). To implement auto weather-vaning, a nonlinear controller and a disturbance observer are used. The disturbance observer transforms a real plant to the nominal model without disturbance to enhance the control performance. And the nonlinear controller deals with the kinematic nonlinearity. The auto weather-vaning system is completed by adding a weather-vaning algorithm to disturbance based controller. Numerical simulations of a semi-submersible type vessel were performed for the validation. The results show that the proposed method enables a DP vessel to maintain its position with minimum control force.

In order to analyze the response of the offshore structure numerically, the linear potential theory is generally applied for simplicity, and only the radiation damping is considered among various damping forces. Therefore, the results of a numerical simulation can be different from the motion of the structure in a real environment. To reduce the differences between the simulation results and experimental results, the viscous damping, which affects the motion of the structure, is also taken into account. The appropriate damping model is essential for the numerical simulation in order to obtain precise responses of the offshore structure. In this study, various damping models such as linear or quadratic damping and the nonlinear drag force from numerous slender bodies were used to simulate the free decay motion of the platform, and its characteristics were confirmed. The optimized damping model was found by comparing the simulation results to the experimental results. The hydrodynamic forces and wave exciting forces of the structure were obtained using WAMIT, and the free decay test was simulated using OrcaFlex. A free decay test of the scale model was performed by KRISO.

해상에 계류된 부유체는 입사하는 파도에 의해 선형항인 파랑하중과 함께 2차항인 표류력을 받는다. 2차항의 표류력은 자유표면조건의 비선형성에 의해 서로 유사한 주파수를 갖는 2개의 선형 성분파간의 상호작용으로 발생하는 장주기 성분을 포함하고 있다. 대개의 계류계의 수평 인장력은 관성력항에 비해 아주 작은 양이고, 따라서 계류계의 설치로 나타나는 부유체의 수평운동 고유주기는 장주기이므로 때로는 공진이 일어나게 된다. 이렇게 야기된 대진폭운동은 작업조건을 악화시키는 것은 물론 계류계에 심각한 손상을 줄 수 있다. 부유체의 계류계로 최근 관심을 모으고 있는 Turret 계류계의 설계에도 이러한 장주기 표류력에 대한 고려와 함께 풍향성이 있는(weathervaning) 천이운동시 Roller Bearing에 걸리는 수평하중에 대한 해석이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 불규칙파중에 계류된 부유체에 작용하는 장주기 표류력을 2차 전달함수를 사용하여 계산한 뒤 장주기 표류력에 의한 전후동요를 시간기억 효과를 고려하여 시뮬레이션하였다. 계류계로는 분산된(spread) Turret형 계류계를 대상으로 하였으며 계류계의 수평인장계수를 매시간 단계마다 계산하는 방법으로 비선형성을 고려하였다.
