Passenger ships and training ships have a common feature in that they serve many passengers. Thus, safe navigation is very important. During normal sailing, a ship may turn using various types of steering, including maneuvers to avoid collisions with dangerous target. When a ship turns, a heeling angle occurs. If trouble arises during sailing, a dangerous heeling angle may result or a capsizing accident. In this study, the heeling angle during turning was measured through experimentation with two training ships similar to passenger ships. These findings were compared with theoretical formulas for heeling angle when turning. We confirmed that the limit of the maximum heeling angle estimation using heeling angle formula when turning presented in IMO stability criteria. In addition, it was confirmed that the maximum estimated heeling angle can be reached by applying the result calculated in the theoretical formula 1.4 times when turning right and 1.1 times when turning left to reflect sailing speed when of rudder hard over. It is expected that this study will provide basis data for establishing safe operation standards for the prevention of dangerous heeling angles when turning.

Due to depletion of fish resources as time goes on, the trawl fishing industries which have caught the demersal fish is confronting with financial difficulties. For the purpose of breaking these difficulties, trawlers are expanding the fishing targets to the midwater from bottom stock. The trawlers become to be able to detect the fish schools not only vertical but also horizontal direction by equipping the sonar system on board. Even though the operator locates the fish school by sonar, it is not easy to make a desirable catch of the fish school which is detected, for the reason of the maneuverring characteristics of trawler. For the purpose of enhancing the efficiency of a fish catch, the auther performed a series of on board experiments to investigate the maneuverablilites of midwater trawaler. The obtained results are summerized as follows: 1. The higher the RPM of main engine, the smaller the magnitude of turning circle. And it is smaller in the right than in the left turning 2. Towing speed varies irregularly under turning novenment. When the RPM of main engine being 560, 680 the angular velocities are 11.3deg/min, 22.5deg/min respectively. 3. The difference of new course distance between calculated by maneuverring indices and measured by experimental ship is high when altering course being large and towing speed low. 4. The faster the towing speed is, the shorter the new course distance becomes. When towing speed is same in right and left turning movement, the now course distance is shorter in case of right turning movement than in left. 5. It is considered to be convenient for a navigator to utilize the curves for altering course in order to steer the ship rapidly and accurately.

Autonomous speedsprayer operation was conducted using a fuzzy controller combined with a DGPS. The signal of DGPS receiver and signals of four ultrasonic sensors were processed in real time. The speedsprayer was steered with two levers controlled by two hydraulic cylinders. The fuzzy controller has two inputs; direction of running obtained from the DGPS receiver and distance from trees measured by ultrasonic sensors. The operation times of the hydraulic cylinders were inferred as outputs of the fuzzy controller. Field test results showed that the speedsprayer could be autonomously operated by the developed fuzzy controller including turning operation in the end of the tree row. The ultrasonic sensors contributed a little to performance of the autonomous operation, but the speedsprayer could avoid trees or obstacles in emergent situations with them.

Precise traveling and tillage operation using an autonomous tractor is difficult with the data from the Geographic Information System(GIS) because it does not include the data of the width and inclination of the field to work. The minimum turing radius of the tractor could be different from the value presented by the tractor maker due to the moisture content of the field soil or operators' skill. Two programs were developed to process data obtained with the tillage path measuring system: one for recognizing coordinates of the 4 field corners, and the other for recognizing the minimum turning radius of the tractor.

This study designed to develop a mower which can reach to side of a tractor or inclined road side and operate weeding. The prototype consists of 4 parts; the base and turning equipment, the boom, the arm, the weeder. The hydraulic actuators were divided into two operations, weeding and operation of boom and they were controlled by electrical equipment. Weeding was very effective when pressure set up at $15{\ell}/min$ using weeding, as $2.27kg{\cdot}m$, 2,210rpm. Weeding range of flail mower was 1.1 to 2.6m from the center of turning equipment at a flat. In case of disk mower, it was 1.5 to 2m. As a result of operation test, flail mower was appropriate for weeding at fence and short weeds, disk mower was appropriate for long weeds.

The continuous chip generated in cutting process deteriorates workpiece, tool, and machine tool system. It is necessary to treat this continuous chip in ductile material machining condition for stable cutting. This paper deals with the chip control method using acoustic emission(AE) signal in pure copper turning operation. AE raw signals, root mean square(RMS) signals and wavelet transformed signals measured in turning process are introduced to analysis for chip patterns. With analysis of AE signals, it is obtained that the produced chip patterns are correlated with the specified AE signals which are transformed by fuzzy pattern algorithm. By this experimental investigation, the chip patterns can be classified at significant level in pure copper machining process and controlled from continuous chips to reduced-length stable chips.

The development of flexible automation in the manufacturing industry is concerned with production activities performed by unmanned machining system. A major topic relevant to metal-cutting operations is monitoring tool wear, which affects process efficiency and product quality, and implementing automatic tool replacements. In this paper, the measurement of the cutting force components has been found to provide a method for an in-process detection of tool wear. Cutting force components are divided into static and dynamic components in this paper, and the static components of cutting force have been used to detect flank wear. To eliminate the influence of variations in cutting conditions, tools, and workpiece materials, the force modeling is performed for various cutting conditions. The normalized force disparities are defined in this paper, and the relationships between normalized disparity and flank wear are established. Finally, Artificial neural network is used to learn these relationships and detect tool wear. According to the proposed method, the static force components could provide the effective means to detect flank wear for varying cutting conditions in turning operation.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of various cutting condition on the cutting resistance and surface roughness of material in turning operation using a coated carbide tool. The workpiece materials were the carbon steel SM20C and SM45C The results of this study are summarized as follows: The cutting force decreases as the feedee amount and the cutting depth decrease and the cutting speed increases. In order to obtain a proper surface roughness to each material it is desirable to set the feeding amount as 0.059mm.rev, the cutting depth as 0.4mm and the cutting speed as 270m/min for SM20C, while setting the feeding as 0.059mm/rev the cutting depth as 0.6mm and the cutting speed as 270m/min for SM45C.
