The unsteady problem of a rigid body impact onto a floating plate is studied. Both the plate and the water are at rest before impact. The plate motion is caused by the impact force transmitted to the plate through an elastic layer with viscous damping on the top of the plate. The hydrodynamic force is calculated by using the second-order model of plate impact by Iafrati and Korobkin (2011). The present study is concerned with the deceleration experienced by a rigid body during its collision with a floating object. The problem is studied also by a fully-nonlinear computational-fluid-dynamics method. The elastic layer is treated with a moving body-fitted grid, the impacting body with an immersed boundary method, and a discrete-element method is used for the contact-force model. The presence of the elastic layer between the impacting bod- ies may lead to multiple bouncing of them, if the bodies are relatively light, before their interaction is settled and they continue to penetrate together into the water. The present study is motivated by ship slamming in icy waters, and by the effect of ice conditions on conventional free-fall lifeboats.

Investigation of hydroelastic responses of high-speed vessels in irregular sea state is of major interest in naval applications. A three dimensional nonlinear time-domain hydroelastic method in oblique irregular waves is developed, in which the nonlinear hydrostatic restoring force caused by instantaneous wetted surface and slamming force are considered. In order to solve the two technical problems caused by irregular sea state, the time-domain retardation function and Proportional, Integral and Derivative (PID) autopilot model are applied respectively. Besides, segmented model tests of a high-speed trimaran in oblique waves are performed. An oblique wave testing system for trimarans is designed and assembled. The measured results of main hull and cross-decks are analyzed, and the differences in distribution of load responses between trimarans and monohull ships are discussed. Finally, from the comparisons, it is confirmed that the present concept for dealing with nonlinear hydroelastic responses of ships in oblique irregular waves is reliable and accurate.

The hydrodynamic aspects of bow flare impact are discussed and the assumptions implicit in typical flare impact calculations are examined. Calculations based upon a pressure release free surface boundary condition are presented. While this simplified boundary condition eliminates the possibility of important factors such as splash-up and above-surface wetting, it has the significant advantage of being computationally simple. Both three-dimensional and two-dimensional results are compared with experiments. Errors resulting from the approximate free surface condition are examined. Also included in the two-dimensional and three-dimensional analysis are longitudinal distributions of the vertical bending moment and vertical shear force.

Recently, research and development of high-value leisure vessels has been carried out in Korea to revitalize the marine leisure industry and tap into the global maritime leisure market. FRP composite materials, which have excellent physical properties and are available for the manufacture of light hulls, are used widely. One of the most important design technologies is to secure structural safety of leisure vessels made from FRP composite materials. In this study, the structural strength was assessed for the design of an 8-meter high-speed planing leisure boat made from FRP composite materials. The design loads to verify the structural safety were calculated according to the rules for the classification of high speed light craft (KR, 2015), and structural analysis was conducted using a finite element model composed of an isotropic shell element, which has equivalent bending rigidity with the FRP sandwich panel. The analysis results were compared with the results of the strength test for fabricated specimens, and all internal structural components are sufficiently satisfied with the structural strength.

The Drosophila retinal cell is widely used to study cell development and cell signaling processes. In the past decades, conventional chemical fixation had been used to study the structure of retinal cells in Droscphila. Rapid freezing methods are superior to chemical fixation methods due to their fixation speed. Some Drosophila tissues, such as the eyes, should not be freezed due to their surrounding cuticle layer. Therefore, in the case of the Drosophila retina, the benefits of high pressure freezing and freeze substitution (HPF-FS) had not been verified. In this study, a retinal cell from Drosophila melanogaster had been studied by using the HPF-FS method. Compared to chemical fixation, the preservation of the cytoplasm in the HPF-FS sample was improved on the whole. The HPF-FS cell membranes were smoother than that of chemical fixation. In addition, HPF-FS preserved the mitochondria structures very well. These results of the present study suggest that HPF-FS is superior to other fixation methods for the preservation of the retinal cell structure.

This Study investigates the Structural Integrity of Boats for Divers, given increased demands for Underwater and Recreational use. We conducted research on a Small Catamaran with a Moon Pool in the center of the Hull, using the Finite Element Method to calculate allowable stress based on the ISO Rule. We computed the coefficients defined in ISO 12215-5 and TC118.1225-7, and determined the suitability of using the ISO Standard and Allowable Stress Design method (ASD) by applying Longitudinal Bending Moment, Torsional moment, and Bottom Slamming Load. We also applied the Ultimate Strength Design Method (LFRD) using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). As a Result of this Research, it was found that ships with a Moon Pool do have Structural Integrity according to their Design in accordance with ISO and KR Regulations.

Identification of the whipping response out of the combined wave-vibration response of a flexible sea going vessel is one of the most interesting research topic from ship designer's point of view. In order to achieve this goal, a novel methodology based on the wavelet cross-correlation technique was proposed in this paper. The cross-correlation of the wavelet power spectrum averaged across the frequency axis was introduced to check the similarity between the combined wave-vibration response and impulse response. The calculated cross-correlation of the wavelet power spectrum was normalized by the auto-correlation of the each spectrum with zero time lag, eventually providing the cross-correlation coefficient that stays between 0 and 1, precisely indicating the existence of the impulse response buried in the combined wave-vibration response. Additionally, the weight function was introduced while calculating the cross-correlation of the two spectrums in order to filter out the signal of lower frequency so that the accuracy of the similarity check becomes as high as possible. The validity of the proposed methodology was checked through the application to the artificially generated ideal combined wave-vibration signal, together with the more realistic signal obtained by running 3D hydroelasticity program WISH-Flex. The correspondence of the identified whipping instances between the results, one from the proposed method and the other from the calculated slamming modal force, was excellent.

본 논문에서는 유체-구조 상호작용해석의 일종의 3차원 접수구조물의 진동해석을 효과적으로 수행하기 위한 해석방법을 제시하기 위하여 동적재해석기법을 검토하였다. 접수구조물의 유한구조 상호작용해석 결과는 구조진동의 관심 주파수역에서는 3차원 연성 부가수질량으로 표현되는 관성력으로 나타난다. 따라서 구조질량행렬에 부가수질량 행렬이 더해져서 전체 관성력으로 표현된다. 이 부가수질량을 추가질량으로 보고 재해석기법을 응용하는 방법을 수치실험을 통해 검증하였다. 이 때 재해석기법이 갖추어야 할 조건은 원구조의 질량과 거의 같은 정도의 질량이 추가되고 또한 완전 연성질량이 추가된 경우에도 정확한 해를 주어야 한다는 것이다. 이를 검증하기 위해 직접재해석기법과 섭동법을 이용한 재해석기법으로 4질량 스프링지지구조에 대한 해석을 수행한 결과 직접재해석기법의 응용이 적합함을 쉽게 입증할 수 있었다. 접수구조물의 예로는 3차원 잠수주상체에 대해 접수진동해석을 수행하였으며 그 결과 선체진동해석에 전통적으로 이용되고 있는 2차원 부가수질량과 3차원 수정계수를 사용한 기준차수법에서는 수지모드와 수평-비틔 연성모드와 같이 서로 독립적인 모드에 대해서는 따로 진동해석을 수행해 주어야 하는 단점이 발견되었다. 이 단점을 보완한 각 모드의 3차원 수정계수행렬을 이용한 재해석기법을 도입하여 모드에 상관없이 동시에 해를 구할 수 있었다. 그러나, 이 방법은 3차원 수정계수가 구해져 있는 경우에 한해서만 적용가능하며 실제 선체진동의 경우에는 10Hz 미만의 저차 주선체 진동에 한해서만 적용가능한 방법이다. 고차의 진도옴드에는 3차원 수정계수를 구할 수 없기 때문에 유체-구조 상호작용 해석결과로부터 얻은 3차원 연성 부가수질량을 이용하게 되며 이 때 이 행렬이 접수구조 표면의 전 자유도와 연성되어 있기 때문에 방대한 방정식을 푸어야 하지만 직접재해석기법을 적용함으로써 정확한 해를 구할 수 있었다. 또한 3차원 부가수질량을 이용한 직접재해석기법은 종래의 2차원 부가수질량과 3차원 수정계수를 이용한 방법에 비해 해석시간 면에서도 전혀 불리한 점이 없는 경제적 방법임이 밝혀졌다. 앞으로 Slamming 혹은 수중폭파 등의 충격하중에 의한 천이 구조응답 해석을 위한 효과적인 방법에 대해서도 연구결과를 발표할 계획이다.
