To evaluate the time-domain positioning performance of arctic marine structures, it is necessary to generate an ice load appropriate for current position and heading structure. The orientation angle a floating body continuously change with time. Therefore, required any attitude in simulation. In this study, we present fundamental technique analyzing loads frequency domain based on data measured at various angles ice-water tank experiment. We perform spectral analysis instead general FFT...

Constraints related to offshore projects such as liquefied natural gas floating, production, storage, and offloading (LNG-FPSO) have been considered more important than those in onshore areas because topside process systems are located on the limited hull space. Therefore, layout of LNG-FPSO equipment shall be designed multi-deck instead single-deck, this optimised order reduce area occupied by at front-end engineering design stage. In study, an optimal module for a generic LNG liquefaction...

As marine resources have been actively explored, a large number of offshore drilling platforms such as drillships and semi-submersible rigs built in many shipyards. The system is the key feature that defines characteristics platform. operation usually focused on tubular handling, hoisting, rotating systems which are directly handling pipes risers drill floor. Therefore, most training simulators developed only for controlling equipment. However, not equipment floor, but also compensations...

This paper presents a simulation for passenger ship evacuation considering the inclination of ship. In order to describe passenger's behavior in an situation, is modeled as rigid body which translates horizontal plane and rotates along vertical axis. The position rotation angle are calculated by solving dynamic equations motions at each time step. To calculate inclined damaged ship, static equilibrium derived using "added weight method". Using these equations, physical external forces due...
