At first, resistance and propulsion tests are carried out at Froude numbers up to 0.4 in the towing tank of Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering (KRISO) so that its full-scale powering performance can be considered in the present simulation model. In particular, the residuary resistance is significantly affected by patterns of hull generated waves. Secondly, horizontal planar motion mechanism (HPMM) tests are performed to derive hydrodynamic coefficients in surge, sway, and yaw directions. By using 3-DoF modular-type models, turn and zig-zag manoeuvres are simulated, and simulations are validated with existing benchmark free-run model tests. Sway-yaw coupled linear whole ship models are also established in order to assess a straight-line stability of a rudder-fixed ONRT whole ship. Linear hydrodynamic coefficients are decomposed into hull and appendage components so that influences of appendage dimensions on ship manoeuvres can be analyzed in more detail. When the rudder area is enlarged or reduced, the coefficient and the location of a centerline skeg are redesigned under the constraint straight-line stabilities are identical. For one original ONRT and two modified ships, turn and zig-zag manoeuvres are simulated by linear whole ship models. Even though straight-line stabilities are identical, the turning diameter is decreased while zig-zag overshoot angles are increased with increasing rudder area. To ensure sufficient manoeuvrabilities of such a twin-screw ship, careful attentions should be paid to design of a centerline skeg and rudders.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14160,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering","volume":"17 ","pages":"Article 100655"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143738100","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}

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}

Shipbuilders worldwide face similar challenges and are exploring various methods to transfer the tacit knowledge of skilled welders to less experienced workers, which has introduced unforeseen challenges. In this study, we develop a machine learning algorithm that suggests the optimal values of key welding variables for an AR-based welding training system designed to assist less skilled workers. We collected welding data from highly skilled workers using the FCAW (Flux-Cored Arc Welding) technique, which is commonly employed in the shipbuilding process. The welding variables that represent tacit knowledge were identified and trained using the Extra Trees Regressor model. Subsequently, a welding AR training system was implemented, allowing the trained model to guide users on the optimal values for welding variables.
