Through the full scale ship collision response analysis of high speed passenger ship with underwater floating matters, the objective of this study is to perform the crashworthy safety assessment of its hull and passengers. For this safety assessment, diverse collision scenarios could be established through the thorough understanding of damage mechanisms due to the collision of its hydrofoil system with underwater floating matter examining the damage informations of its hull and passengers from the collision accidents, and through the estimation of the damages of its hull and passenger. The next step, crashworthy safety assessment of its hull and passengers, was carried out by the collision response analyses of high speed passenger ship with underwater floating matter using Fluid-Structure Interaction(FSI) analysis technique of LS-DYNA code in consideration of surrounding water, and using local zooming analysis technique.

A study on the green ship design for Ultra Large Container Ship (ULCS, 18,000 TEU Class Container Ship) was performed based on the four step procedures of the initial design and hull form optimization to maximize economic and propulsive performance. The first, the design procedure for ULCS was surveyed with economic evaluation considering environmental rules and regulations. The second, the characteristics of single and twin skeg container ships were investigated in view of initial design and performances. The third, the hull form optimization for single and twin skeg ships with the same dimensions was conducted to improve the resistance and propulsive performances at design draught and speed by several variations and the results of the optimization were verified by numerical calculations of CFD and model test. The last, for the estimated operating profile of draught and speed, the hull forms of single and twin sked ships were optimized by CFD. From this study, the methodologies to optimize the hull form of ULCS were proposed with considerations during the green ship design and the improvement of the energy efficiency for the optimized hull forms was confirmed by the proposed formula of the total energy considering design conditions, operating profile and fuel oil consumption.

For high power high step-down dc-dc conversion applications, conventional three-level dc-dc converters are subject to extreme duty cycles or increased volume and cost due to the use of transformers. In this paper, a transformerless three-level dc-dc buck converter with a high step-down conversion ratio is proposed. The converter comprises two asymmetrical half bridges, which are of the neutral point clamped structures. Therefore, the output pulse voltage of the converter can be obtained in terms of the voltage difference between the two half bridges. In order to realize harmonious switching of the converter, a modulation strategy with capacitor voltages self balance is presented. According to the deduced output dc voltage function, transformerless operation without extreme duty cycles can be implemented. Experimental results from a 1kW prototype verify the validity of the proposed converter. It is suitable for ship electric power distribution systems.

The redox behavior of a [Ni6(μ3-Se)2(μ4-Se)3(Fe(η 5-C5H4P-Ph2)2)3] (= [Ni-Se-dppf], dppf = 1,1-bis(diphenylphosphino) ferrocene) cluster was studied using platinum (Pt) and glassy carbon electrodes (GCE) in nonaqueous media. The cluster showed electrochemical activity at the potential range between +1.6 and ?1.6 V. In the negative region (0 to ?1.6 V), the cluster exhibited two-step reductions. The first step was one-electron reversible, while the second step was a five-electron quasi-reversible process. On the other hand, in the positive region (0 to +1.6 V), the first step involved one-electron quasi-reversible process. The applicability of the cluster was found towards the electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 and was evaluated by experiments using rotating ring disc electrode (RRDE). RRDE experiments demonstrated that two electrons were involved in the electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO at the Se-Ni-dppf-modified electrode.

The T-S fuzzy model of a ship is made from the nonlinear extension of Nomoto's 2nd-order model as the previous step before designing of the fuzzy type autopilot to consider the design specifications and the economic efficiency. The T-S fuzzy model is considered as a design variable of the heading angular velocity of ship. The linear models will be combined as "IF-THEN" fuzzy rules after get in this one area of the linear model(sub-system) by change of the heading angular velocity of a ship. The dynamic characteristic of a ship with the parameters of linear models and fuzzy membership functions are estimated to match by using the model adjustment technic with input/output data and a RCGA.

The early-phase naval ship design demands requirements synthesis rather than design synthesis, which conducts engineering design for several domains on a detailed level. Requirements synthesis focuses on creating a balanced set of required operational capabilities satisfying user's needs and concept of operations. Requirements are evolved from capability based languages to function based language by statistical exploration and engineering design which are derived in the following order: concept alternative, concept baseline, initial baseline and functional baseline. The early-phase naval ship design process can be divided into three passes: concept definition, concept exploration and concept development. Main activities and outcomes in each pass are shortly presented. Concept definition is the first important step that produces a concept baseline through extensive design space exploration promptly. Design space exploration applies a statistical approach to explore design trends of existing ships and produce feasible design range corresponding to concept alternative. It further helps naval systems engineers and operational researchers by inducing useful responses to user and stakeholders' questions at a sufficient degree of confidence and success in the very early ship design. The focus of this paper is on the flow of design space exploration, and its application to a high-speed patrol craft. The views expressed in this paper are those of the authors, and do not reflect the official policy or rule of the Navy.

The icebreaking research vessel, ARAON had her second ice trial in the Arctic Sea from 16th July to 12th August 2010. During the voyage, the local ice loads acting on the bow of port side were measured from 14 strain gauges. The measurements were also carried out in ice waters with various ice concentration ratio as well as the icebreaking performance tests. In this study, the ice loads measured during the 'general' operation in ice waters were analyzed. As a first step, the relationship between the location of strain gauges and the ice loads were investigated, and then the possibility for observation of higher ice loads was estimated based on the probability density function. The relationship between the ship speed and the ice load was also investigated. 718 peak stresses data higher than 20 MPa obtained from strain gauges array attached in longitudinally and vertically was analyzed. In general, the ice load increases as the ship speed increases in the low ship speed range, and ice load decreases as the ship speed is greater than a certain speed.

Pipelines are one of the most important structures in subsea equipment. It is the main equipment for transportation of crude oil and natural gas to the downstream facilities. Crude oil and natural gas leak will be carry out not only political and financial issues but also pollution to the environment. Inaccurate predictions of corrosion behavior will make hazardous consequences. The serviceability assessment of corroded structures is essential especially for subsea pipelines. As corrosion is concerned, the effects of failure due to significant reduction will make it hard to the pipeline operator to maintain the serviceability of pipelines. In this paper, the serviceability assessment of corroded crude oil pipeline is performed using the industry design code (Shell92, DNV RP F101, ASME B31G, BS 7910, PCORRC) and FEA depending on corrosion area. In last step, the future integrity of the subsea crude oil pipeline is assessed to predict the remaining year in service of crude oil pipelines.

The resistance performance evaluation of general ships using computational fluid dynamics requires a lot of time and cost, and various methods are being studied to reduce the time and cost. Existing methods using main particulars or cross sections of ships have limitations in estimating resistance performance that is greatly dependent on the shape of the ship. In this paper, we propose a deep neural network model that can quickly predict the resistance performance of the hull surface by inputting the geometric information of the hullform mesh. The proposed deep neural network model based on Perceiver IO can immediately predict resistance performance, unlike computational fluid dynamics techniques that require calculation in each time step. It shows the result of estimating the resistance performance with an average error of less than 1% in the data set for a 50 K tanker ship, a type of low-speed full ship.

In order to develope ship hull forms. many various models are represented numerically in terms of B-spline surfaces and tested experimentally in the towing tank. It is very difficult to make various ship hulls with free forms in handiwork. As the first step of development of a free form cutting machine which becomes a good substitute for high-priced model cutting machines, free forms representation for model cutting are developed. In this paper, NURBUS surfaces are represented on the assumption that data points may be control points contrary to existing methods.
