Based on the previously developed approach to structural ship design, the authors optimize a large-span deck grillage taking into account several design loading scenarios. Topological optimization made it possible to find an optimal structural layout of the grillage, and parametric optimization yielded the scantlings of beams and simultaneously reduced grillage weight. Additional gain in structural weight was achieved by means of the openings in beam webs.

The paper presents the methodology for designing the load bearing elements of tail section of a light aircraft through the sequential application of methods of parametric and topological optimization. First, we analyzed the loads acting on the aircraft at its maneuvering in the vertical and horizontal planes. Then, for these loads, by the parametric optimization method, we selected the locations of ribs of the tail section of the aircraft, which were subsequently used to develop individual forms of ribs based on the topology optimization method. Next, we carried out parametric optimization of layup angles of polymer composite material, intended for the production of ribs. Finally, we developed a structural layout for the load bearing elements of the fuselage, which meets the criteria of minimum weight when restrictions are imposed on the level of stresses in some layers of the composite material.

Объектом исследования является крышка люкового закрытия сухогрузного судна, служащая для обеспечения непроницаемости грузовых помещений и перевозки на ней грузов и обеспечивающая безопасность сухогрузных судов и осуществляемой на них морской перевозки грузов. Большая материалоемкость крышек снижает экономическую эффективность судна, ведет к необходимости использования мощных и массогабаритных средств подъема крышек (для съемных люковых закрытий), либо поворота и передвижения крышек (для шарнирно-откидных закрытий). Целью статьи является существенное снижение материалоемкости крышек люкового закрытия за счет рационального выбора их материала и конструктивного оформления при одновременном обеспечении требуемого уровня их надежности. Параметрическая оптимизация традиционной стальной крышки люкового закрытия сухогрузного судна проекта RSD59 может привести к снижению ее массы не более чем на 15-17. Поэтому для достижения цели работы решается задача оптимизации конструкции алюминиевой крышки на основе комплексного подхода, состоящего в последовательном использовании топологических и параметрических оптимизационных методов и выполнении на последней стадии работы снижения уровня концентрации напряжений путем оптимизации формы узлов крышки. При этом на стадии выбора конструктивно-силовой схемы крышки применяются приёмы топологической оптимизации, на стадии выбора толщин и параметров силовых элементов способы параметрической оптимизации, а на стадии конструктивно-технологического оформления узлов методы оптимизации формы. Выполненные расчетные исследования привели к следующим основным результатам: к выявлению прогрессивных конструктивно-силовых схем и конструктивно-технологических решений, обеспечивающих значительное снижению массы крышек люковых закрытий при умеренных затратах на их изготовление к высоким оценкам эффективности использования современных алюминиевых сплавов для изготовления люковых закрытий, способствующим существенному снижению их материалоемкости (примерно двукратному и более по сравнению с использованием стали), улучшению условий их функционирования и проведения погрузочно-разгрузочных работ на сухогрузных судах к выводу об эффективности использования разработанных конструкторских решений для крышек люковых закрытий при создании перспективных сухогрузных судов.A bulk carrier hatch cover, which provides cargo compartments impermeability and cargo transportation on the cover, as well as safety of bulk carriers and sea cargo transportation in them, is studied. Cover high material consumption decreases vessel profitability, causes the necessity to use either powerful and mass-dimensional cover lifting devices (for removable hatch covers) or covers rotation and movement (for hinged covers). The purpose of this paper consists in considerable decrease of hatch cover material consumption through rational selection of covers material and design at provision of the required covers reliability level. Parametric optimization of a conventional steel cover of RSD59 project bulk carrier could result in cover mass decrease by more than 15 to 17. Therefore, to achieve the work purpose, a problem of aluminum cover structural optimization was solved based on a comprehensive approach that consisted in successive use of topologic and parametric optimization methods and decrease of the stress concentration level at the last step via cover assemblies shape optimization. At that topological optimization methods were applied at the stage of selecting cover structural arrangement parametric optimization methods were applied at the stage of selecting load-carrying elements thickness and parameters, and shape optimization methods were used at the stage of structural and technology design of assemblies. The performed calculation studies resulted in the following: revealing the advanced structural arrangements and design and technology solutions that provide considerable hatch covers mass decrease at reasonable costs for their manufacture high assessment of using advanced aluminum alloys for manufacturing hatch covers that promote considerable decrease of their material consumption (approximately up to twofold or greater in comparison with steel), improving conditions of cover functioning and handling operation in bulk carriers conclusion on effectiveness of using developed design solutions for hatch covers when creating prospective bulk carriers.

40t semi-trailer frame is optimized by usage of topological optimization and static/dynamic analysis technology. After the optimization, The static characteristics of frame completely satisfy requirement of intensity and stiffness, and the quality is reduced by 10% compared with the original frame. The dynamic characteristics of the new frame have been improved greatly, which indicate that the optimized frame structure is more reasonable, and lay the foundation for reducing the cost and improving manufacturing efficiency.

The present paper provides a thorough analysis of the prerequisites in adopting a new paradigm in the conceptual ship design accounting for the environmental pollution driven by maritime transportations. A survey of presently issued IMO environmental requirements outlines the framework within ship design solutions. Identified and carefully examined are several competing optimal design solutions, based on the energy efficiency design index introduced for shipbuilding, operation cost, and the resale costs at the end of the service life, which are used as input variables in a risk-based analysis. Reviewed are the immediate steps taken in the risk-based conceptual ship design to minimise the risk of environmental pollution while considering the life cycle assessment and energy efficiency of the ship propulsion system. Brought forth in the current paper are the results of a study into the concept design of series of containerships operating in the Black Sea for transporting 20, 40 and 45-foot containers aimed at identifying the main dimensions, capacity, visibility, freeboard, stability, bow, and stern design, propulsion complex and propeller design, control and manoeuvrability, seakeeping, energy efficiency design index, capital, and operational expenditures, that leads to the required fright rate for the ships in the range of 4,000 to 14,000 DWT. Accordingly, a bulk carrier’s risk-based concept ship design methodology is employed for the ship life cycle assessment and energy efficiency in pursuance of the optimal design solution in reference to the energy efficiency design index as most applicable to shipbuilding, operation, and resale costs at the end of the service life, and used as input variables in the risk estimate.
