Development of a mathematical model and algorithm for the sequence of fault detection of the ship's hull

The labor intensity of the hull fault detection process, which generally consists of work performed directly on the vessel and the preparation of the final report, can be reduced through the use of modern methods of computer data analysis. The sequence of measurements of defects on the vessel (residual thicknesses, deformations, cement and other sealings, cracks, holes) can be justified by solving a modified traveling salesman problem, reflecting the optimization of the path between points in space, with the goal function in the form of the spent finite time, which is the sum of the time for performing the measurements themselves, moving between the points of such measurements, various technical works, for example, installing a ladder for access to the area located above human growth and its movement to the right sector of work. The article develops a mathematical model of human motion in the space around the vessel, an algorithm of movement. The adaptation of the genetic algorithm for the problem under consideration is given, including the features of solution coding, crossing and mutation of solutions, and choosing the best option. The results of the test debugging simulation for the bow of the river pusher hull showed the operability of the developed algorithm and the possibility of its application for research and practical tasks.
