Towards an Understanding of the Stability Assessment of Floating Buildings
PublicationOne of the most important aspects of the design of floating facilities such as ships, floating offshore structures or floating houses is stability. Its impact on both general safety and operational aspects renders it a fundamental consideration already in preliminary design stages. Usually, the concept of sufficient stability of floating buildings is associated with the ability to keep an allowed heel angle and residual freeboard,...

Advanced super-hydrophobic polymer-based porous absorbents for the treatment of oil-polluted water
PublicationThe threat of environmental pollution caused by spilled oil is rapidly increasing along with the expansion of oil exploration, the development of maritime activities and industrial growth. Oil spill incidents usually affect seriously the ecosystem and human life. Therefore, the treatment and recovery of the oil spill have been considered as an ultra-important issue to protect the environment and to minimize its negative impacts...

The Influence of the Cuboid Float’s Parameters on the Stability of a Floating Building
PublicationUsually, the concept of sufficient stability of a floating structure is connected with the capacity to keep a small heel angle despite the moment of heeling. The variable responsible for these characteristics is the initial metacentric height, which is the relation between the hydrostatic features of the pontoon and the mass properties of the entire object. This article answers the questions of how heavy the floating system should...

Parametric method applicable in assessing breakout force and time for lifting slender bodies from seabed
PublicationThe article presents a parametric method applicable in assessing the suction force of a slender body to the seabed, and prognosing the body extrication time. Along with the body weight in water, the information on the suction force is essential for assessing the force needed to lift the object from the seabed. Based on the Foda theory and the resulting integral equation, which relates the maximum suction force with basic parameters...

OPTIMISING RIG DESIGN FOR SAILING YACHTS WITH EVOLUTIONARY MULTIOBJECTIVE ALGORITHM
PublicationThe paper presents a framework for optimising a sailing yacht rig using Multi-objective Evolutionary Algorithms and for filtering obtained solutions by means of a Multi-criteria Decision Making method. A Bermuda sloop with discontinuous rig is taken under consideration as a model rig configuration. It has been decomposed into its elements and described by a set of control parameters to form a responsive model which can be used...

Local buckling of composite channel columns
PublicationThe investigation concerns local buckling of compressed flanges of axially compressed composite channel columns. Cooperation of the member flange and web is taken into account here. The buckling mode of the member flange is defined by rotation angle a flange about the line of its connection with the web. The channel column under investigation is made of unidirectional fibre-reinforced laminate. Two approaches to member orthotropic...

DETERMINATION OF SEAKEEPING PERFORMANCE FOR A CASE STUDY VESSEL BY THE STRIP THEORY METHOD
PublicationThe increase of seakeeping performance is of particular importance for car and passenger ferries, service ships in the gas and oil extraction industry and offshore wind power farm industry, as well as for special purpose ships (including military applications). In the water areas of the Baltic Sea, North Sea, and Mediterranean Sea, which are characterised by a short and steep wave, the hull shape has a substantial impact on the...

Application of Shape Memory Alloys in Pipeline Couplings for Shipbuilding
PublicationThe aim of the study is to analyse shape memory alloy (SMA) pipeline joints in limited space applications for all kinds of ships. Generally, the space available in various areas on ships is strictly limited and service works usually meet many obstacles. If we consider a pipeline, the flange joints always require a larger free space around the pipe than the pipe alone. A simultaneous problem can occur with the propeller shaft line...

Rewizja przybliżonej metody szacowania oporu całkowitego kadłuba płynącego w przechyle
PublicationNa tle innych obiektów pływających jacht żaglowy wyróżnia się m.in. tym, że choć jest zaprojektowany jako pojazd poruszający się w pozycji wyprostowanej, to jednak znaczną część czasu żegluje w przechyle. Dlatego tak ważne jest poznanie zachodzących wtedy zjawisk, zwłaszcza związanych z oporem hydrodynamicznym. W artykule zaprezentowano porównanie oparte na weryfikacji wybranej, przybliżonej metody oszacowania zmian oporu całkowitego...

Parametric method applicable in calculating breakout force and time for lifting axisymmetric objects from seabed.
PublicationThe issue of calculating parameters for lifting objects of axisymmetric shapes from the seabed is studied. The article presents the results of numerical simulation examination of the equation formulated by Foda for the force needed to extricate the object from the seabed depending on soil and water parameters, extrication speed, and object diameter. The simulations were performed within the range of parameters characteristic for...

NEW DESIGNS OF CENTRIFUGAL MAGNETIC FLUID SEALS FOR ROTATING SHAFTS IN MARINE TECHNOLOGY
PublicationThe centrifugal magnetic fluid seals have important advantage over the conventional centrifugal seals. They maintain very good sealing capacity at static, medium and high speeds of shaft rotation, with the increased seal lifetime, and minimum torque and static friction. These seals are particularly useful in cases when the angular shaft velocity varies and sometimes decreases to nearly or exactly zero, such as in flywheel applications,...

Hybrid Finite Element Method Development for Offshore Structures’ Calculation with the Implementation of Industry Standards
PublicationIn the design process of offshore steel structures, it is typical to employ commercial calculation codes in which simulationand evaluation of results are performed on the basis of the available standards (e.g. API, DNV, Lloyds). The modelingand solution rely on finite element methods and cover the simulation of the structure’s properties along with the influenceof the marine environment – sea currents, wave...

Wytrzymałość drobnych elementów olinowania ruchomego wykonanych z Dyneemy
PublicationRozwój materiałów w oceanotechnice otwiera nowe możliwości w budowie jachtów. Artykuł porusza kwestie wplatania nowoczesnych lin typu HMPE (ang. high-modulus polyethylene) w konstrukcje takielunku jachtu, a dokładniej w część olinowania ruchomego. Dzięki specjalnej konstrukcji liny bez oplotu zbudowanej z 12 splotek utworzonej przez ich przeplatanie, możliwe jest konstruowanie drobnych elementów nośnych, takich jak miękkie...

Torsional buckling and post-buckling of columns made of aluminium alloy
PublicationThe paper concerns torsional buckling and the initial post-buckling of axially compressed thin-walled aluminium alloy columns with bisymmetrical cross-section. It is assumed that the column material behaviour is described by the Ramberg–Osgood constitutive equation in non-linear elastic range. The stationary total energy principle is used to derive the governing non-linear differential equation. An approximate solution of the equation...
