Abstract

Design and development of propellers for submarines are in some ways different from propellers for surface vessels. The most important demand is low acoustic signature and propeller efficiency. The design for the propulsor for submarine is a specialist task of a later stage of design. The propulsive efficiency has essensially three parts in the traditional method of approach. The first and major part is the efficiency of the propeller it self as a divice which may develop to overcome the resistance to motion the vessel. The aim of this research is to design a mini submarine propeller and obtain high efficiency and low cavitation. To reach this aim, model tests were performed both in Towing Tank and Cavitation Tunnel. From the propeller model tests, the result shows a good efficiency and low cavitation.

Abstract

Severe damages in aboveground storage tanks (AST) have been often experienced due to earthquakes in Japan. In this paper, earthquake damages of ASTs which occurred for the last several decades are reviewed. These are damages in the 1964 Niigata Earthquake, the 1978 Miyagi Earthquake, the 1983 Sea of Japan Earthquake, the 1995 Kobe Earthquake, the 2003 Hokkaido Earthquake and the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. The damages of ASTs can be classified into 3 types in accordance with the characteristics of earthquake. These are the impulsive motion due to a high frequency earthquake, the sloshing motion due to a low frequency earthquake and the tsunami attack. In the impulsive motion, buckling of sidewall plates and uplift of sidewall-to-bottom joints occurred. In the sloshing motion, sinking of floating roofs into liquid and buckling of sidewall-to-roof joints occurred. In the tsunami attack, ASTs moved and overturned to leak oil.

Abstract

This paper presents the construction of the approximate equivalent bending stiffness of double-skin hollowed rectangular plates. For this purpose, the equivalent bending stiffness of the plate are expressed first in the quadratic polynomial form with respect to the design parameters for structural optimization by using the Response Surface Method (RSM). Finite element formulation for bending problem of the plate is also formulated by using the ACM rectangular element, and then FE source code is developed by incorporating the equivalent stiffness obtained by the RSM. Finally the numerical results obtained from the present FEA with the equivalent stiffness are compared with the ones by a commercial FE software, ANSYS, and then the applicability of the approximate equivalent stiffness are studied.

Abstract

The natural frequencies of a cracked plate with a roving mass were computed using the Rayleigh-Ritz Method for various sets of boundary condition. The obtained frequencies exhibit a sudden shift as a roving body crosses a crack. If the crack is only partial and continuity of translation is maintained, then the frequency shift occurs only when the body possesses a rotary inertia. If the crack is a complete one (through thickness) which permits differential translation to occur on either side of the crack, a particle having mass only (translatory inertia) is sufficient to cause a sudden shift. There is no need for a rotary inertia. This is potentially useful in detecting cracks in structures, as it is possible to track the changes in the natural frequencies of a structure as a test body such as a vehicle on a bridge moves and identify points where sudden frequency changes occur.

Abstract

The thermoelectric generator (TEG) has long been used to produce electrical energy where when a temperature difference occurs between two different semiconductor materials, this thermoelectric element will produce a voltage difference and flow an electric current. This principle is known as the 'Seebeck effect'. This research was conducted to determine the electrical energy potential of the TEG module as an alternative energy source by utilizing chimney heat from an incinerator. The test was carried out with a variation of 1, 2 and 3 m chimney height with treatment without compaction and compaction of waste. The test results show that with 12 TEG modules arranged in series electricity can produce an output voltage with a maximum temperature difference of each ΔV 3,31 Volt ; ΔT 15,0 °C (1 m), ΔV 3,92 Volt; ΔT 17,8 °C (2 m), ΔV 4,84 Volt ; ΔT 22,0 °C (3 m) while the compaction of each value ΔV 6,34 Volt ; ΔT 29,2 °C (1 m), ΔV 7,69 Volt ; ΔT 35,2 °C (2 m), ΔV 9,09 Volt ; ΔT 41,5 °C (3 m). The potential power that can be produced is as big as 3,22 W (1 m); 4,56 W (2 m); 6,88 W (3 m) while the compaction of waste is equal to each value 11,80 W (1 m); 17,36 W (2 m); 24,25 W (3 m). The addition of chimney height variation resulted in an increase in the hot side temperature (Th), cold side (Tc) and temperature difference (dT) so that heat energy and power energy increased.

Abstract

The location of the beam and the deck girder of the ship can be effect on it is strength especially for the longitudinal strength due to the vertical wave bending moment. The objective of this study is to know the structural response of the ship due to vertical bending moment load on hogging and sagging conditions. The analysis is carried out by using Finite Element Method so-called ANSYSTM. The results shows that the stress occurring on the ship model with deck beam above the deck plate is larger than the ship model with deck beam under the deck plate. When the load with the variated of 0.2 x moment of vertical moment load, there is an increase of stress that occurs both on the deck area about 12% while on the bottom area about 0.98%. This study also conducted a stress comparison by using analysis methods with analytical methods. The results show that by the Stress differences that occur in the structure with the longitudinal deck beam and deck girder above are 14.1% on the deck and 7.1 on the bottom. Whereas in the structure with deck longitudinal deck eam and deck girder under there is a difference of 5.7% on the deck area and 3.5% in the bottom area of the ship. The stress that occur in both models have a difference that is not too far away and still under the permisible stress by the classification society so that both can be applied to the construction of a tanker.

Abstract

The Pumice sand is a bright colored butian type, containing foam made from glass-walled bubbles and usually referred to as silicate volcanic glass granules. This pumice sand can be used as a substitute for normal sand as fine aggregate in a mixture of concrete mix. Based on the characteristic test examination, it can be seen that in testing the characteristics of pumice sand to the specifications of normal sand in specific gravity testing and weight testing of quicksand obtained results that are smaller than the specifications of normal sand and absorption tests obtained results greater than specifications on normal sand. The results of the normal sand compressive strength at BN is 250.95 kg /cm2 while the results of the floating sand concrete compressive strength on BPA is 224, 965 kg /cm2. Based on the research it can be concluded that with the same quality of concrete, the quality of K-250 is different in comparison to the compressive strength of concrete in normal sand and pumice sand concrete shows almost the same results. Therefore, more in-depth research is needed regarding the use of pumice sand instead of normal sand in a mixture of concrete mix
