Analysis of Naval Ship Evacuation Using Stochastic Simulation Models and Experimental Data Sets

The study of emergency evacuation in public spaces,buildings and large ships may present parallel characteristic in terms of complexity of the layout but there are also significant differences that can hinder passengers to reach muster stations or the lifeboats.There are many hazards on a ship that can cause an emergency evacuation,the most severe result in loss of lives.Providing safe and effective evacuation of passengers from ships in an emergency situation becomes critical.Recently,computer simulation has become an indispensable technology in various fields,among them,the evacuation models that recently evolved incorporating human behavioral factors.In this work,an analysis of evacuation in a Landing Helicopter Dock(LHD)ship was conducted.Escape routes specified by the ship’s procedures were introduced in the model and the six emergency scenarios of the Naval Ship Code were simulated.The crew and embarked troops were introduced with their different evacuation behavior,in addition,walking speeds were extracted from data set collected in experiments conducted at other warships.From the results of the simulations,the longest time was chosen and confidence intervals constructed to determine the total evacuation time.Finally,results show that evacuation time meets regulatory requirements and the usefulness and low cost of the evacuation simulation for testing and refining possible ships’layouts and emergency scenarios.

The paper presents a knowledge-based engineering(KBE)approach for ship node components design.In the ship design process,many design tasks need design experiences to support.However,a ship design process is a complicated process with many simultaneously repetitive and time-consuming activities.In this research,the method combines KBE with Tribon system's built-in development language tools of Vitesse,captures and applies design knowledge for achieving standard components intelligent design modeling.A case study and industry implementation illustrate the feasibility of the proposed methodology.The KBE technique can provide not only proper references,suggests and supports but also knowledge integrated in the ship structure design.Especially,these rules related to the design can avoid lots of design mistakes.During the ship design stage,getting more precise and better designs will not only reduce the time of rework and wasting resources but also shorten the construction time,improve quality and profit.

Study on Anti-ship Missile Saturation Attack Model

Based on the analysis for the interception process of ship-to-air missile system to the anti-ship missile stream, the antagonism of ship-to-air missile and anti-ship missile stream was modeled by Monte Carlo method. This model containing the probability of acquiring anti-ship missile, threat estimation, firepower distribution, interception, effectiveness evaluation and firepower turning, can dynamically simulate the antagonism process of anti-ship missile attack stream and anti-air missile weapon system. The anti-ship missile's saturation attack stream for different ship-to-air missile systems can be calculated quantitatively. The simulated results reveal the relations among the anti-ship missile saturation attack and the attack intensity of anti-ship missile, interception mode and the main parameters of anti-air missile weapon system. It provides a theoretical basis for the effective operation of anti-ship missile.

Fault Tree Analysis of Fire and Explosion Accidents for Dual Fuel （Diesel/Natural Gas） Ship Engine Rooms

In recent years, China's increased interest in environmental protection has led to a promotion of energy-efficient dual fuel(diesel/natural gas) ships in Chinese inland rivers. A natural gas as ship fuel may pose dangers of fire and explosion if a gas leak occurs. If explosions or fires occur in the engine rooms of a ship, heavy damage and losses will be incurred. In this paper, a fault tree model is presented that considers both fires and explosions in a dual fuel ship; in this model, dual fuel engine rooms are the top events. All the basic events along with the minimum cut sets are obtained through the analysis.The primary factors that affect accidents involving fires and explosions are determined by calculating the degree of structure importance of the basic events.According to these results, corresponding measures are proposed to ensure and improve the safety and reliability of Chinese inland dual fuel ships.

Study on the Digital Manufacturing System of Ship Model Surface

Because a ship model surface (SMS) is a large double-curved 3-D surface,the machining efficiency of the cur- rent handcraft manufacturing method are very low,and the precision is difficult to control also.In order to greatly improve the machining efficiency and precision of SMS,based on the CAD/CAM/CNC technology,this paper proposed a model of SMS digi- tal manufacturing system,which is composed of five functional modules (preprocess module,CAD module,CAM module,post- process module and CNC module),and a twin-skeg SMS as an example,the key technologies & design principle of the nodtules were investigated also Based on the above research works,the first set of 4-axis SMS Digital Manufacturing System in China has been successfully developed,which can reduce the machining time of the twin-skeg SMS from 30 working days needed for the cur- rent handcrafting manufacturing method to 8 hours now,and which can control more effectively the precision of SMS also.

Penetration Capability Comparison of the Same Anti-ship Missiles Between Millimeter and Centimeter Wave Seekers

This paper compares the penetration capabilities of the same type anti-ship missiles with millimeter wave(MMW)seeker and centimeter wave seeker,and constructs mathematical models of penetration probability and saturation attack number for all anti-ship missiles used in the countermeasure system,according to the rule which makes the ship-borne air defence system oppase as far as possible and equally,and combining the actual combat situation.It can be seen,from analysis of the countermeasure process between anti-ship missile and surface naval ship,that for the same type of anti-ship missile with different seekers,the main influence on the penetration capability is from electronic jamming system.Based on the built model,the penetration capabilities of the same type anti-ship missiles with MMW and centimeter wave seekers are simulated.The simulated results show that the penetration capability of MMW seeker is slightly better than that of the centimeter wave seeker and its saturation attack number is also influenced by the discovering probability greatly.Finally,some suggestions to get superior penetration effect are given for a commander to choose seeker type suitably.
