The structural design of the ships includes two main issues which should be checked carefully, namely the extreme structural response (yielding & buckling) and the fatigue structural response. Even if the corresponding failure modes are fundamentally different, the overall methodologies for their evaluation have many common points. Both issues require application of two main steps: deterministic calculations of hydro-structure interactions for given operating conditions on one side and the statistical post-processing in order to take into account the lifetime operational profile, on the other side. In the case of ultra large ships such as the container ships and in addition to the classical quasi-static type of structural responses the hydroelastic structural response becomes important. This is due to several reasons among which the following are the most important: the increase of the flexibility due to their large dimensions (Lpp close to 400 m) which leads to the lower structural natural frequencies, very large operational speed (> 20 knots) and large bow flare (increased slamming loads). The correct modeling of the hydroelastic ship structural response, and its inclusion into the overall design procedure, is significantly more complex than the evaluation of the quasi static structural response. The present paper gives an overview of the different tools and methods which are used in nowadays practice.

In problems of global hydroelastic ship response in severe seas including the whipping problem, we need to know the hydrodynamic forces acting on the ship hull during almost arbitrary ship motions. In terms of ship sections, some of them can enter water but others exit from water. Computations of nonlinear free surface flows, pressure distributions and hydrodynamic forces in parallel with the computations of the ship motions including elastic vibrations of the ship hull are time consuming and are suitable only for research purposes but not for practical calculations. In this paper, it is shown that the slamming forces can be decomposed in two components within three semi-analytical models of water entry. Only heave motion is considered. The first component is proportional to the entry speed squared and the second one to the body acceleration. The coefficients in these two components are functions of the penetration depth only and can be precomputed for given shape of the body. During the exit stage the hydrodynamic force is proportional to the acceleration of the body and independent of the body shape for bodies with small deadrise angles.

In rough seas, bow-flare regions of the fine ships (container ship and PCC) are subject to high impact pressures due to the bow-flare slamming. And many ships suffer structural damages in that region, even though they were built under the bow structure strengthening rules of the ship classes. So, a new design method for bow-flare structure is highly required. In this paper, a new prediction method of the bow-flare impact pressure (in terms of equivalent static pressure) acting on the fine ships' bow is presented. This method is based on the 11 fine ships' damage analysis and the mechanisms of water entry impact and breaking wave impact. Calculation results of the bow-flare impact pressure and the shell plate thickness are shown and discussed. Through the example calculations, it was found that the present method is useful for the structure design of the fine ships' bow.

To improve our current understanding of tsunami-like solitary waves interacting with a row of vertical slotted piles on a sloping beach, a 3D numerical wave tank based on the CFD tool $OpenFOAM^{(R)}$ was developed in this study. The Navier-Stokes equations were employed to solve the two-phase incompressible flow, combining with an improved VOF method to track the free surface and a LES model to resolve the turbulence. The numerical model was firstly validated by our laboratory measurements of wave, flow and dynamic pressure around both a row of piles and a single pile on a slope subjected to solitary waves. Subsequently, a series of numerical experiments were conducted to analyze the breaking wave force in view of varying incident wave heights, offshore water depths, spaces between adjacent piles and beach slopes. Finally, a slamming coefficient was discussed to account for the breaking wave force impacting on the piles.

This paper presents an experimental investigation of asymmetric impact effects on hydroelastic responses. A 1:64 scaled segmented ship model with U-shape open cross-section backbone was newly designed to meet elastic similarity conditions of vertical, horizontal and torsional stiffness simultaneously. Different wave heading angles and wavelengths were adopted in regular wave test. In head wave condition, parametric rolling phenomena happened along with asymmetric slamming forces, the relationship between them was disclosed at first time. The impact forces on starboard and port sides showed alternating asymmetric periodic changes. In oblique wave condition, nonlinear springing and whipping responses were found. Since slamming phenomena occurred, high-frequency bending moments became an important part in total bending moments and whipping responses were found in small wavelength. The wavelength and head angle are varied to elucidate the relationship of springing/whipping loads and asymmetric impact. The distributions of peaks of horizontal and torsional loads show highly asymmetric property.

A parametric study for for the water entry of a two dimensional symmetric wedge with deadrise angle of 10 degrees was carried out to find out the most dominant parameter. Water entry problem with constant velocity is simplified as the stationary wedge in the way of the upcoming water surface. The calculated impact loads showed that the effect of the viscosity was not so important in this problem. For a given grid system a suitable time step size can be found. The most sensitive parameter was found to be the grid size.

본 연구는 유한한 크기의 선저경사각을 갖는 2차원 쐐기형 구조물의 슬래밍 충격 현상을 수치 해석하였다. 비압축성 유체를 가정하였으며, 구조물의 입수 속도는 일정하게 유지하였다. 자유수면의 대 변형 및 동적 거동의 해석을 위해서 Geo-reconstruct(or PLIC-VOF) scheme을 사용하였다. 선저경사각이 $10^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ}$ 및 $30^{\circ}$인 경우에 대해서 해석을 수행하였으며, 각각의 선저경사각에 대하여 입수면의 격자 크기 및 입수 속도를 변화시켜 슬래밍 충격력 수치 해석 결과에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 수치해석 결과는 Dobrovol'skaya(1969)의 상사해(similarity solution), Wagner 방법에 기초한 점근해(asymptotic solution) 및 경계요소법(Zhao et al.(1993))에 의한 해석 결과와 비교하였다.

수상함정에 사용되는 능동소나는 통상적으로 구상선수부에 설치하게 된다. 따라서 구상선수부에 설치된 소나의 항해 중 유체력 및 수중 부유물에 의한 충돌 파손을 막기 위해 밀도가 낮으면서 강도가 높은 복합소재 재질의 소나돔 윈도우를 설치하게 된다. 외부 유체력 및 충격 발생 시 소나돔 윈도우의 안정도는 소나돔 윈도우 내외부의 압력 분포에 따라 달라지므로 본 연구에서는 소나돔 충, 배수 밸브의 상태에 따른 소나돔 윈도우의 내외부 압력변화를 해석적으로 검토하고 이에 따른 응력변화를 파악하고자 한다.

지금까지 국내에서 제작된 요트는 선체의 재질이 FRP로 제작되어 왔으나 FRP는 환경오염 및 해양안전에 관한 법규 규제가 강화되고 있는 국제사회의 인식에 따라 중소형 조선소를 중심으로 강철 재료나 알루미늄 재료들 사용한 선박건조로 변화하고 있는 실정이다. 강선요트의 구조상 강선재료를 주로 사용함으로서 여러 가지 강도적인 측면에 대한 검토가 필요하지만, 소형선박이므로 종강도, 횡강도 부분은 규정에서의 허용 응력치에 안전율(Safe Factor)만을 주어서 설계를 하여도 충분히 안정된 구조를 이를 수가 있다. 그러나, 소형선박에서 가장 문제시되는 것은 국부강도(Local Strength)의 평가이다. 본 구조해석에서는 선수에 작용하는 슬래밍 동작하중 및 선수충격에 의한 선수부의 손상 여부와 선수부의 국부강도 만족 여부를 확인하고, 기관받침(Engine bed) 부분에서의 중량하중과 횡파하중에 대한 검토를 수행하였다.

Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWT) installed in the deep sea regions where stable and strong wind flows are abundant would have significantly improved energy production capacity. When designing FOWT, it is essential to understand the stability and motion performance of the floater. Water tank model tests are required to evaluate these aspects of performance. This paper describes a model test and numerical simulation for a 750-kW semi-submersible platform wind turbine model-II. In the previous model test, the 750-kW FOWT model-I suffered slamming phenomena from extreme wave conditions. Because of that, the platform freeboard of model-II was increased to mitigate the slamming load on the platform deck structure in extreme conditions. Also, the model-I pitch Response Amplitude Operators (RAO) of simulation had strong responses to the natural frequency region. Thus, the hub height of model-II was decreased to reduce the pitch resonance responses from the low-frequency response of the system. Like the model-I, 750-kW FOWT model-II was built with a 1/40 scale ratio. Furthermore, the experiments to evaluate the performance characteristics of the model-II wind turbine were executed at the same location and in the same environment conditions as were those of model-I. These tests included a free decay test, and tests of regular and irregular wave conditions. Both the experimental and simulation conditions considered the blade rotating effect due to the wind. The results of the model tests were compared with the numerical simulations of the FOWT using FAST (Fatigue, Aerodynamics, Structures, and Turbulence) code from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
