Multibody Dynamics
We focus on the analysis and control of the motion of multibody systems consisting of multiple bodies and joints, specifically applied to the shipbuilding and maritime industry. This includes analyzing the behavior of multibody systems subject to hydrodynamic forces during various operations, including production and offshore operations. The research utilizes dynamic simulations to verify operations, establish safety standards, and ensure the reliability of ship production and installation procedures. Additionally, it includes the control of multibody systems for the automation of production operations, contributing to the enhancement of efficiency and safety in shipbuilding operations.
Digital Transformation
This research focuses on the digitalization and enhancement of intelligence in ships and shipyards through the application of advanced IT technologies. The primary objective is to transform traditional shipbuilding and maritime operations into smarter, more efficient systems. The research includes the development of integrated simulation environments based on virtual and augmented reality, enabling remote simulations and design verifications between research institutes and shipyards through integration with real-world equipment. The research aims to automate ship design tasks using ship databases and enhance design verification through automated drawing recognition and natural language processing techniques. Other areas of focus include shipyard monitoring, the development of autonomous ship software for navigation, monitoring, and recognition, as well as advancing autonomous systems to enhance operational efficiency in both shipbuilding and maritime environments.
Optimization
This research focuses on the automation and optimization of ship design and production processes to improve both efficiency and quality. It involves various design optimizations, such as determining the optimal ship operation routes, optimizing the lug arrangement for block erection, and selecting design parameters for various ship systems and equipment based on dynamic simulations. The goal is to enhance both the design and production stages of shipbuilding, ensuring better performance and more efficient operations.
