Experimental investigations on the influence welding residual stresses have on fatigue are complicated by the fact that small-scale specimens often show only little tensile residual stresses. In practice, residual stresses are usually not known and difficult to determine. Welding simulation approaches usually demand for experimental calibration making them unsuitable for residual stress predictions. The reliability of their results is however limited. Therefore, a welding simulation approach applying uniform temperatures without experimental calibration was proposed. Different input parameters were varied to determine their influence on the calculated residual stresses. The approach was then used to design a small-scale fatigue test specimen showing tensile residual stress at the weld. Specimens were produced based on the simulation results and residual stress measurements were compared to the calculated values.","PeriodicalId":51883,"journal":{"name":"Ship Technology Research","volume":"66 1","pages":"22 - 37"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2018-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09377255.2018.1518692","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47423673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method is based on the numerical integration of the Biot-Savart law for the induced velocities, which is equivalent to the numerical computation of the Goldstein factor. The computations have been extended for helix pitches close to zero and to infinity. On the basis of these new Goldstein factors, the shape of the free vortex system of all kinds of propulsors can easily be obtained, including possible interactions of the different free vortex systems. This approach can in a later stage be used for any numerical propulsor method which requires the free vortex locations or the propulsor interactions as input. The application to propeller rudder interaction has shown some interesting aspects which can be useful for the design of rudder sections.","PeriodicalId":51883,"journal":{"name":"Ship Technology Research","volume":"66 1","pages":"1 - 8"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2018-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09377255.2018.1500741","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49222354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this report, the propulsive characteristics of such foils are studied using a boundary element method. The numerical investigation is performed to clarify the effects of foil inertia and resonance. It is found that the flapping propulsor is efficient over a wide range of operating conditions. The peak efficiencies occur approximately at an identical advance number and also correspond to the same pitch amplitude in spite of different inertia. The present study also supports that the immersed resonance is relevant to the optimal performance. On the other hand, the propulsive characteristics of all foils are identical regardless of foil inertia when structurally resonated. An evidence has been found that the foil can also perform as an energy harvester in a certain range of operating condition.","PeriodicalId":51883,"journal":{"name":"Ship Technology Research","volume":"67 1","pages":"51 - 60"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2018-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09377255.2018.1487667","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43622670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The prescribed rudder motions of typical free-running conditions are accounted for using the dynamic overset grid method, in which the overset information is updated at each temporal step by implementing the existing overset grid method as the numerical library.

Kinematic constraints are applied to couple the bodies at articulation points to model hinge and rigid mechanical couplings. For comparison, contact elements are also used to simulate hinges. Depending on the articulation model numerical computations are conducted in frequency or time domain. Comparison between different numerical methods and with model experiments shows that the proposed methods can predict articulation loads with sufficient accuracy for design purposes.

Therefore, the interaction of the window panes with the ship structure was investigated experimentally with a full-scale test model. In addition, methods were developed to include bonded window panes into global Finite Element ship models. Finally, the effect of window panes was examined numerically in two megayacht models. The investigations showed that the window panes can cause a local stress reduction as well as a considerable local stress increase in the ship structure. Consequently, it is not always conservative to neglect the window panes in the analysis models.","PeriodicalId":51883,"journal":{"name":"Ship Technology Research","volume":"65 1","pages":"102 - 121"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2018-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09377255.2018.1459066","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42849974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper studies how the local ice-induced loads on the ship bow are affected by different ice and operational conditions. A hierarchical Gaussian process model was used to study how the load distribution parameters change in different conditions. The operational conditions are described by ship speed, whereas the ice conditions varied from thin, first-year ice, to thick, multiyear ice. Because of this variation, the ice conditions are not represented by ice thickness alone but also by latitude, temperature and voyage time which represent the unmeasured ice strength. The predicted loads from the model match well with the measured loads. According to the model, loads increase in higher ship speed and ice thickness combination, further south, later in the summer and in higher temperatures.","PeriodicalId":51883,"journal":{"name":"Ship Technology Research","volume":"65 1","pages":"101 - 87"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2018-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09377255.2018.1454390","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45118145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
