Global stable tracking control of underactuated ships with input saturation

In this paper, tracking control of underactuated ship in the presence of input saturation is addressed. By dividing the tracking error dynamic system into a cascade of two subsystems, the torques in surge and yaw axes are designed separately using the backstepping technique. More specifically, we design the yaw axis torque in such a way that its corresponding subsystem is finite time stable, which makes it to be de-coupled from the second subsystem after a finite time. This enables us to design the torque in the surge axis independently. It is shown that the closed-loop system is stable and the mean-square tracking errors can be made arbitrarily small by choosing design parameters. Simulation results also verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.     

Overview of ship-design expert systems

Expert systems constitute a branch of artificial intelligence, and their unique characteristics enable computer systems to perform at the level of a human expert by the use of algorithms that can capture domain-specific knowledge. Through an extensive survey of research about ship-design expert systems, we conclude that although development and implementation of expert systems for ship design offer substantial barriers, the shipbuilding industry needs them nonetheless. We examine the major reasons that use of expert systems in this industry has lagged behind. These include the problems of integration with existing computer-aided design systems, problems of knowledge representation and sizable development costs. We discuss in detail some key factors that can lead to the solution of these problems.     

Analysis of exclusively kinetic two-link underactuated mechanical systems

Analysis of exclusively kinetic two-link underactuated mechanical systems is undertaken in this paper. It is first shown that such systems are not full-state feedback linearizable around any equilibrium point. Also, the equilibrium points for which the system is small-time locally controllable (STLC) is at most a one-dimensional submanifold. A concept less restrictive than STLC, termed the small-time local output controllability (STLOC) is introduced, the satisfaction of which guarantees that a chosen configuration output can be controlled at its desired value. It is shown that the class of systems considered is STLOC, if the inertial coupling between the input and output is nonzero. Also, in such a case, the system is nonminimum phase. An example section illustrates all the results presented.     

高水头船闸输水廊道反弧门水弹性振动试验研究

本文简要介绍水弹性振动模型试验的相似准则，用近似满足水弹性相似准则的有机玻璃模型对－高水头船闸反弧形阀门进行流激振动试验研究．试验表明阀门的振动是随机振动，不仅有质量振动而且有结构振动，有若干阶模态被激发参与振动。在开门和关门过程中，阀门面板脉动压力和阀门振动是不大的，与葛洲坝船闸类似阀门间歇开启的振动水平相当。由于常压模型不能正确模拟空化现象，对于廊道内可能产生的空泡溃灭所引起的阀门振动尚需通过减压模型进行研究。

随着舰船信息系统网络化应用的不断增加,信息系统对舰船网络的依赖性也在不断增强,这对网络持续提供服务的高可用能力提出了更高的要求。鉴于目前舰船网络系统的可用性不能满足舰船信息业务对数据中断恢复时间所提出的要求,将最新的商用高可用性IRF2技术引入舰船网络系统,提出了一种新的舰船网络系统方案。该方案采用双交换机堆叠及跨交换机链路聚合的方式实现网络的网关冗余和路径冗余,简化了网络的逻辑结构,提高了整网的故障恢复时间。通过搭建的原型系统对方案的重要参数进行了测试,结果表明：相比于目前的舰船网络,该方案提升了网络效率,并将故障倒换时间从秒级缩短到了50ms级。     

Development of a simple model for batch and boundary information updation for a similar ship’s block model

In early 2000,large domestic shipyards introduced shipbuilding 3D computer-aided design (CAD) to the hull production design process to define manufacturing and assembly information.The production design process accounts for most of the man-hours (M/H) of the entire design process and is closely connected to yard production because designs must take into account the production schedule of the shipyard,the current state of the dock needed to mount the ship’s block,and supply information.Therefore,many shipyards are investigating the complete automation of the production design process to reduce the M/H for designers.However,these problems are still currently unresolved,and a clear direction is needed for research on the automatic design base of manufacturing rules,batches reflecting changed building specifications,batch updates of boundary information for hull members,and management of the hull model change history to automate the production design process.In this study,a process was developed to aid production design engineers in designing a new ship’s hull block model from that of a similar ship previously built,based on AVEVA Marine.An automation system that uses the similar ship’s hull block model is proposed to reduce M/H and human errors by the production design engineer.First,scheme files holding important information were constructed in a database to automatically update hull block model modifications.Second,for batch updates,the database’s table,including building specifications and the referential integrity of a relational database were compared.In particular,this study focused on reflecting the frequent modification of building specifications and regeneration of boundary information of the adjacent panel due to changes in a specific panel.Third,the rollback function is proposed in which the database (DB) is used to return to the previously designed panels.
