CTOD tests were conducted over a temperature range of −55 °C to −140 °C. The results revealed that as the notch radius increased, the degree of stress concentration decreased, leading to an increase in fracture toughness. In temperature-dependent tests, CTOD values consistently decreased as the temperature decreased, with EDM notches exhibiting a lower rate of fracture toughness reduction compared to fatigue pre-cracks, which is attributed to differences in the degree of stress concentration. Scanning electron microscopy analysis of the fracture surfaces revealed the reason for significant differences in CTOD values and fracture behaviors between fatigue pre-crack and EDM notches, particularly at −140 °C, a temperature below the ductile to brittle transition temperature. This study suggests that EDM notches, especially with radii of 0.07 mm and 0.15 mm, can effectively replace fatigue pre-cracks in CTOD evaluations, particularly at temperatures above the transition temperature, offering a more efficient method for assessing fracture toughness in cryogenic environments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14160,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering","volume":"17 ","pages":"Article 100646"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143348296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Deep learning-based object detection technology using 3D point clouds enables automated production management and process optimization. However, the large volume characteristic of 3D point clouds remains a challenge due to the resources and time required for data processing and dataset construction. The large volume of 3D point clouds leads to excessive computational costs, storage demands, and time consumption during dataset construction and training. Therefore, it is necessary to appropriately reduce the dataset size for efficient utilization while ensuring object detection performance. This necessitates a study on dataset downsampling strategies that maintain optimal density and detection accuracy. In this study, an experimental dataset similar to the S3DIS (Stanford Large-Scale 3D Indoor Spaces) dataset was constructed. The density of the 3D point clouds was adjusted in five levels by reducing points per unit area by 20% increments. These datasets were applied to a deep learning architecture to analyze object detection accuracy. Subsequently, the findings were applied to a shipyard dataset to streamline large volume point clouds and evaluate detection performance, thereby assessing their practical applicability. The results demonstrated that reducing the experimental dataset density to approximately 20% still maintained object detection accuracy of around 95% IoU for key objects. This indicates that lightweight datasets can reduce processing resources and costs while preserving detection performance. Additionally, applying the approach to real shipyard datasets revealed that object detection was feasible with reduced data (approximately 4.6% of the raw data). This study provides a practical framework for constructing efficient deep learning models for object detection by downsampling datasets in large-scale industrial environments like shipyards. It is expected to contribute to the establishment of automated data management systems for production management and process efficiency enhancement. Further analysis is required to evaluate performance at extreme low densities (below 20%). Moreover, while this study employed simple downsampling techniques, future work should explore the performance of various downsampling methods to optimize detection accuracy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14160,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering","volume":"17 ","pages":"Article 100648"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143519503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In contrast, small ships navigating coastal areas, such as yachts, prioritize safety and navigational convenience. Although extensive research has been conducted on route planning for commercial ships, more studies focusing on small ships are required. This study introduces a novel route planning method for coastal areas tailored to small ships. The proposed method begins by generating quadtree charts derived from an S-57 chart. Considering the lower computational performance typically observed for small ships, a quadtree chart offers a more efficient solution than a traditional regular grid. This structure allows for high-resolution representation only where necessary, considering water depth and coastal obstacles to ensure safe navigation. The route planning process comprises two layers: high-level and low-level. The high-level layer uses lower-resolution charts to outline a general route between the departure and arrival points and to identify key entrances along the way. The low-level layer, which employs higher-resolution charts, generates a detailed route from the departure point to the entrance and from the entrance to the arrival point. The final step involves smoothing to ensure a seamless and navigationally efficient route. Adopting a hierarchical approach can significantly enhance the efficiency of route planning by utilizing a multi-level structure, thereby reducing the time required for route planning. This methodology enables more effective responses in continuous maritime environments, ensuring high efficiency even during real-time route updates and modifications. The proposed method was applied to the coastal areas of the Republic of Korea to assess its effectiveness. In this study, the proposed method was compared with conventional chart generation methods. The results demonstrate that the method provides suitable and safe route planning for small ships, offering a reliable approach for coastal area navigation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14160,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering","volume":"17 ","pages":"Article 100647"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143479293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
