  • Study on the condition of an occurrence of human error on ship's operations

    Authors

    213c

    Abstract

    Research is presented which aims to clarify the conditions of an occurrence of human insufficient behaviour that is treated as human error. It is concluded that human competency to accomplish the task has its limit and proposes formulas to described the condition of n occurrence of human insufficient behaviour.

  • The effect of rudder location on hull vibration

    Authors

    G R P Bermingham

    Date published

    1990

    Abstract

    A towing tank study has been carried out to enable the hydrodynamic forces acting on a model rudder running in a propeller slipstream to be determined from pressure transducer measurements on the blade. Various locations and their effect on rudder/hull excitations are compared.

  • Welding technology on high loading stress

    Authors

    Y Guo ; N E Shanmugam ; Y S Choo

    Date published

    1995

    Abstract

    First a look is taken at the requirement and feasibility of welding on high loading stress. Next welding test of the components on high tensile and compressive load carried out separately are outlined with results provided. Lastly an example is given of a project of welding strengthening on high loading covering the project's general situation and the construction/benefit.

  • Cost effective nitrogen blanketing systems

    Authors

    E Rahe ; A Kusenberg

    Date published

    1995

    Abstract

    Discussion is presented of the production of nitrogen on-site using generators high purity nitrogen plants (HPN) pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technology and membrane technology. HPN and PSA technologies are able to meet high levels of nitrogen purities and can be easily installed on site at onshore facilities whereas membrane systems are installed on oil rigs offshore as well as on tankers.

  • Geomorphic - biotic interactions on beach foreshores in estuaries

    Authors

    Nancy L Jackson ; Karl F Nordstrom ; David R Smith

    Date published

    2002

    Abstract

    An attempt is made to identify what is known about the linkages between geomorphology and biota on estuarine beaches and suggest areas for future investigation primarily using examples based on research in Delaware Bay USA. After some background information a look is taken at morphologic and sedimentologic changes. Next effects of shore protection methods are considered followed by future assessment.

  • Long term full-scale measurements on the strength of ships

    Authors

    A Nitta

    Date published

    1984

    Abstract

    This paper describes summarised results of full-scale measurements on the strength of four ships. The tests have been carried out since 1973 by the Research Institute of NKK as a part of the long term research programme. The results of the measurements have been compared with theoretical predictions obtained by a relevant structural analysis on each ship.
