AbstractEpoxy syntactic foams (SF) filled with hollow glass microspheres (HGM) were prepared by simple resin casting method and characterization in this study. The effect of varying the amount of HGM on the specific mechanical and water absorption properties of SF composites were investigated. Five different composition of SF (SFT60-0.5 to SFT60-2.5) were compared with the neat epoxy matrix. The wall thickness of the microballoons differ because of its different percentile size distribution (10th, 50th and 90th), which reflects in its density variation. The results show that the specific tensile and flexural strength increases with an increasing filler (HGM) content. The density of SF filled with HGM reduces with increasing volume fraction of filler content. Scanning electron microscopy was done on the failed samples to examine the fractured surfaces. The water absorption capacity of the SF was also investigated as it relates to the HGM volume fraction variation. All the syntactic foam composition shows a better diffusion coefficient capacity than the neat epoxy resin. This makes it applicable in structural purposes and several marine application products such as Autonomous Ultimately Vehicle (AUV).

The advent of large gas turbine engines aboard marine vehicles has created a demand for starting systems suitable for marine application. This paper discusses marine requirements and describes and discusses applicable pneumatic starting systems. In addition, a comparison between pneumatic and other starting methods will be presented.

The introduction of alternative fuels (other than diesel oil or gasoline) for some commercially operated marine vessels presents a problem to marine regulators and designers since accepted standards and U.S. Coast Guard policy have not been established. Establishing safe design criteria is a common problem with the introduction of new technologies, novel concepts, and complex systems. In order to determine design safety for novel marine concepts such as compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel, a formal system safety approach may be used. Risk-based technologies (RBT) provide techniques to facilitate the proactive evaluation of system safety through risk assessment, risk control, risk management, and risk communication. The proposed outfitting of a CNG fuel system on the Kings Pointer training vessel is discussed as a specific marine application of CNG fuel and an appropriate situation for applying system safety techniques.

The author discusses some of the design features of the power plant for the world’s first gas turbine LNG carrier. The basic features of the dual fuel system are examined with respect to the use of LNG boil-off gas fuel, and marine operating and automation requirements. Marine classification society design criteria and operating constraints are briefly studied with respect to plant safety and functional interfaces with ship control systems. The concept of locked-shaft flaring of boil-off gas in port is discussed with emphasis on land-based system experience. The conclusion emphasizes safety and reliability features of this new marine application of the Heavy Duty Gas Turbine.
