최근, 구조설계 기준 및 평가방법의 전문화로 인하여, 선급 규칙의 통합화가 이뤄졌었다. 그 좋은 일례가 국제공통규칙(CSR, Common Structural Rule)이다. 그러나, 종강도 하중이 크게 작용하는 화물창 구역에만 국한하여 세부규정이 제시되어 있고, 선수와 선미부 구조에는 별다른 평가 지침이 없다. 언급한 구역의 구조설계는 조선사의 설계 경험에 의존하여 진행하고 있으며, 선급에서도 명확한 기준 이 없으므로 구조 손상 문제가 발생하더라도 근본적인 원인을 파악하기가 힘들다. 본 연구에서는 선미부에 주로 발생하고 있는 좌굴 손 상의 대표적인 사례에 대한 근본적인 원인을 파악하기 위한 엔지니어링 기반의 해법을 제시하였다. 유한요소해석 모델링 기반 구조 강도 검증을 위하여, 하중 조건, 경계조건, 모델링 방법 그리고 평가 기준에 대한 합리적인 해법을 제시하였다. 선미부에 작용하는 휨 모멘트에 의하여 높이 방향으로 압축하중에 의해서 좌굴이 발생할 가능성이 있으며, 좌굴 강성 증가를 위하여 판 두께 증가 혹은 수직 보강재의 추 가가 필요하다. 앞으로도 이 결과는 유사 운반선의 선미부 구조 강도 검토 시 도움을 줄 것으로 기대된다.

The decrease in under keel clearance (UKC) due to the increase of draft that occurs during advancing and turning of very large vessels of different types was analyzed based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The trim change in the Duisburg test case (DTC) container ship was much smaller than that of the KRISO very large crude oil carrier 2 (KVLCC2). The sinkage of both ships increased gradually as the water depth became shallower. The amount of sinkage change in DTC was greater than that in KVLCC2. The maximum heel angle was much larger for DTC than for KVLCC2. Both ships showed outward heel angles up to medium-deep water. However, when the water depth became shallow, an inward heel was generated by the shallow water effect. The inward heel increased rapidly in very shallow water. For DTC, the reduction ratio was very large at very shallow water. DTC appeared to be larger than KVLCC2 in terms of the decreased UKC because of shallow water in advancing and turning. In this study, a new result was derived showing that a ship turning in a steady state due to the influence of shallow water can incline inward, which is the turning direction.

선박 축계를 구성하는 프로펠러축은 엔진출력, 프로펠러 하중 및 편심추력의 영향으로 인해 거동의 양상이 달라져 선미관 후 부베어링의 국부하중 변화를 일으킴으로써 선미관 베어링 손상의 위험을 증가시킨다. 이를 방지하기 위해 수행된 추진축계 정렬연구는 선급강선규칙을 중심으로 주로 축과 지지베어링간의 상대적 경사각과 유막유지를 최적화 하는데 중점을 두어 진행 되어왔다. 그러나 보다 상세한 평가를 통한 추진축계의 안정성 확보를 위해서는 전타와 같은 급격한 선미유동장 변화에 기인한 과도상태를 포함한 동적상태의 고려가 필요하다. 이러한 관점에서, 본 연구는 50,000 DWT 선박을 대상으로 스트레인 게이지법을 이용하여 밸러스트 흘수 상태에서 정격회전수로 운전 중 대표적 동적 과도상태인 우현 전타상태에서의 프로펠러축 거동이 추진축계에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 그 결과 변동된 프로펠러 편심추력은 프로펠러축을 일시적으로 강하게 내려 누르는 힘으로 작용하여 선미관 베어링의 국부하중을 증가시켜 축계 안정성에 부정적 영향을 미침을 증명하였다.

In the tanker industry, there are a lot of uncertain conditions that tanker companies have to deal with.For example, the global financial crisis and economic recession, the increase of bunker fuel prices and global climate change. Such conditions have forced tanker companies to change tankers speed from full speed to slow speed, extra slow speed and super slow speed. Due to such conditions, the objective of this paper is to present a methodology for determining vessel speeds of tankers that minimize the cost of the vessels under such conditions. The four levels of vessel speed in the tanker industry will be investigated and will incorporate a number of uncertain conditions. This will be done by developing a scientific model using a rule-based Bayesian reasoning method. The proposed model has produced 96 rules that can be used as guidance in the decision making process. Such results help tanker companies to determine the appropriate vessel speed to be used in a dynamic operational environmental.

This study is intended to provide navigator with specific information necessary to assist the avoidance of collision and the operation of ships to evaluate the maneuverability of dead weight tonnage 8,000 tons Oil/Chemical tanker. The actual maneuvering characteristics of ship can be adequately judged from the results of typical ship trials. Author carried out sea trials based full scale for turning test, Z” maneuvering test, man overboard rescue maneuver test, inertia stopping test. Consequently, 2st Overshoot yaw angle of the semi balanced rudder and flap rudder in ±20° zig–zag test showed 22.2° and 18.0°, respectively. The maneuverability of the vessel was good in the flap rudder. The man overboard rescue maneuver maneuverability test was most favorable in the flap rudder and the full load condition. The results from tests could be compared directly with the standards of maneuverability of IMO and consequently the maneuvering qualities of the ship is full satisfied with its.

The actual maneuvering characteristics of ship can be adequately judged from the results of typical ship trials. Author carried out sea trials based full scale for turning test in ballast condition and full load condition, semi balanced rudder and flap rudder. The turning circle maneuvering were performed on the starboard and port sides with 35° rudder angle at the normal continuous rating. The results from tests could be compared directly with the standards of maneuverability of IMO and consequently the maneuvering qualities of the ship is full satisfied with its.
