The visualizing energy flow and control in vibrating stiffened plates with a cutout are studied using finite element method. The vibration intensity, vibration energy and strain energy distribution of stiffened plates with cutout at different excitation frequencies are calculated respectively and visualized for the various cases. The cases of different size and boundaries conditions of cutouts are also investigated. It is found that the cutout or opening completely changes the paths and distributions of the energy flow in stiffened plate. The magnitude of energy flow is significantly larger at the edges near the cutout boundary. The position of maximum strain energy distribution is not corresponding to the position of maximum vibrational energy. Furthermore, the energy-based control using constrained damping layer (CDL) for vibration suppression is also analyzed. According to the energy distribution maps, the CDL patches are applied to the locations that have higher energy distribution at the targeted mode of vibration. The energy-based CDL treatments have produced significant attenuation of the vibration energy and strain energy. The present energy visualization technique and energy-based CDL treatments can be extended to the vibration control of vehicles structures.

In this study, a system that precisely determines the heave of ship hull was designed using time-differenced GNSS carrier phase measurement, and the performance was examined. First, a technique that calculates precise position relative to the original position based on TDCP measurement for point positioning using only one receiver was implemented. Second, to eliminate the long-cycle drift error occurring due to the measurement error that has not been completely removed by time-differencing, an easily implementable high-pass filter was designed, and the optimum coefficient was determined through an experiment. In a static experiment based on the precise heave measurement system implemented using low-cost commercial GNSS receiver and PC, the heave could be measured with a precision of 2 cm standard deviation. In addition, in a dynamic experiment where it moved up and down with an amplitude of 48 cm and a cycle of 20 seconds, precise heave without drift error could be determined. The system proposed in this study can be easily used for many applications, such as the altitude correction of fish detection radar.

With the expansion of the shipping and port logistics industry in the 21st century, the traffic density is continuously increased because of the increase in volumes of world sea freight and fleets, as well as the increase in the causes of potential marine accidents, such as ship collisions and stranding. Accordingly, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has requested that the installation and operation of VTS should be applied in areas with high risk of marine traffic, and the request should be included as one of the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulations. In this paper, the fundamental requirements of the radar system for vessel traffic services were analyzed and the analyzing factors were based on the IALA guideline.s This paper also includes results for the requirement and recommendation analysis on detection distance, target separation, and the target position accuracy of X-band radar. Also, to check if it satisfies the requirement of detection distance, range and azimuth separation of small point targets, and target position accuracy from the IALA guidelines, the test was conducted through the radar image acquired at the VTS center, and hence, the validity of the technical performance requirements was confirmed.

It has been often reported that a water-jet propelled high speed vessel lost the course keeping ability in seaway. In this study, model tests of a high speed vessel were performed to measure the running attitude and to check the course keeping ability. The model ship may lose the course keeping ability due to bad running attitudes such as bow drop. So model tests were carried out to improve the running attitude by changing the position of longitudinal center of gravity and using appendages at the bow and the stern of a model. The position of lateral center of pressure moved toward stern and the course keeping ability was improved by modifying the transom wedge angle.

As considerable interests in noise emission from a ship have been increased, the need for localization of noise sources of the marine propeller generating cavitation and singing noise is looming large. In many practical cases, cavitation and singing noise occur on a particular position of the certain blade of the propeller. It is so important to know the position of noise source correctly in order to eliminate or suppress unwanted noise. In this study, we develop "noise source localization technology" using TDOA method. Experimental measurements carried out at the circulating water channel and towing tank show that noise source can be clearly identified and localized using TDOA method.

단일 GPS위치 측정시 일반 사용자는 측정 오차들과 미국방성의 의도적인 오차들로 인해 항법이나 측지등의 응용분야에서 만족할만한 정확도를 얻을 수 없다. DGPS(Differential GPS)는 이러한 제약들을 해결할 수 있는 방법으로, 이는 이미 정확한 좌표를 알고 있는 기준국과 좌표를 알고자 원하는 지점간의 공통 오차를 제거하여 좌표를 구하는 방법으로 높은 정확도를 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 기지의 기준국 좌표와 GPS위성에서 수신한 자료들 사이에서 구한 기준국 좌표사이의 편차를 이용한 DGPS방법을 정적 실험 및 선박을 이용한 동적 실험등을 통하여 후처리 방법으로 구현하였다.

Increased usage of AUVs has led to the development of alternative navigational methods that use the acoustic beacons and dead reckoning. This paper describes a concurrent mapping and localization (CML) scheme that uses range sonars mounted on SNUUV­I, which is a small test AUV developed by Seoul National University. The CML is one of such alternative navigation methods for measuring the environment that the vehicle is passing through. In addition, it is intended to provide relative position of AUV by processing the data from sonar measurements. A technique for CML algorithm which uses several ranging sonars is presented. This technique utilizes an extended Kalman filter to estimate the location of the AUV. In order for the algorithm to work efficiently, the nearest neighbor standard filter is introduced as the algorithm of data association in the CML for associating the stored targets the sonar returns at each time step. The proposed CML algorithm is tested by simulations under various conditions. Experiments in a towing tank for one dimensional navigation are conducted and the results are presented. The results of the simulation and experiment show that the proposed CML algorithm is capable of estimating the position of the vehicle and the object and demonstrates that the algorithm will perform well in the real environment.

The change of the global performance of a turret-moored FPSO (Floating Production Storage Offloading) with DP (Dynamic Positioning) control is simulated, analyzed, and compared for two different internal turret location cases; bow and midship. Both collinear and non-collinear 100-yr GOM (Gulf of Mexico) storm environments and three cases (mooring-only, with DP position control, with DP position+heading control) are considered. The horizontal trajectory, 6DOF (degree of freedom) motions, fairlead mooring and riser tension, and fuel consumptions are compared. The PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) controller based on LQR (linear quadratic regulator) theory and the thrust-allocation algorithm which is based on the penalty optimization theory are implemented in the fully-coupled time-domain hull-mooring-riser-DP simulation program. Both in collinear and non-collinear 100-yr WWC (wind-wave-current) environments, the advantage of mid-ship turret is demonstrated by the significant reduction in heave at the turret location due to the minimal coupling with pitch mode, which is beneficial to mooring and riser design. However, in the non-collinear WWC environment, the mid-turret case exhibits unfavorable weathervaning characteristics, which can be reduced by employing DP position and heading controls as demonstrated in the present case studies. The present study also reveals the plausible cause of the failure of mid-turret Gryphon Alpha FPSO in milder environment than its survival condition.

본 연구는 이동 표적체에서 주파수가 서로 다른 신호가 서로 다른 위치에서 발생할 때 도플러 주파수 편이량을 추정하여 이들의 상대적인 신호 발생 위치를 추적하는 도플러 스캐닝 기법에 관한 연구이다. 예를 들어 선박의 발전기와 프로펠러 등과 같은 탑재 기계장치들의 진동에 의해 야기되는 기계적 소음의 각 특징 주파수들의 도플러 주파수 편이는 최단근접거리 (CPA: Closest Point of Approach)에 따라 유일한 시간 정보를 갖고 각 소음원들의 위치에 관련되는 함수이다. 따라서 도플러 스캐닝 기법을 적용하면 이동 선박의 각 기계적 소음원들간의 공간적인 상대 위치 추정이 가능하다. 그러나 일반적으로 기계류 소음의 주파수는 저주파수대역이므로 도플러 주파수 편이량을 추정하기 위해서는 주파수 분해능이 높아야 하고 아울러 탑재장치의 공간분해능을 높이기 위해서는 동시에 시간 분해능이 높아야 한다. 따라서 상호 역비례 관계에 있는 이들 분해능을 동시에 높이기 위해 확장 칼만 필터 알고리즘을 적용하여 특징 신호들의 도플러 주파수 편이량을 추정하여 기계류의 상대적인 탑재 위치를 규명할 수 있음을 보인다. 먼저 수치모의 실험으로 그 가능성을 검증하고 자동차에 탑재된 스피커 음원을 사용한 실험 결과를 통해 그 성능을 확인하도록 한다.
