Abstract

Lifting lugs are frequently used to transport and to turn over blocks of ship and offshore structures in a shipyard. As the shipbuilding technology has been developed, blocks has become bigger and bigger, and block management technology takes a more important role in shipbuilding to enhance the productivity. For the sake of economy as well as safety in design of lug structure, needed is a more rational design procedure based on the ultimate strength derived through the rigorous non-linear structural analysis considering both the material and geometric non-linearity. This study is aimed at deriving the optimum design of T type lug structure which is frequently used in a shipyard. The optimum thickness of lug's main body is to be determined based on the results of non-linear strength analysis. As far as the present results for T type lugs having various capacity are concerned, it can be said that the present optimum design result can guarantee both safety and economy. From the fact that any regular trend cannot be found in weight reduction to the capacity of lugs, it seems to be necessary to review the current design procedure of lug structure. The present design procedure can be extensively used in design of various types of lug structures used in shipyard.

러그는 선박 및 해양구조물의 블록을 이동하거나 반전에 많이 사용되는 부품이다. 선박이나 해양구조물의 제작기술이 발전함에 따라 블록이 점차 대형화되고 있어, 생산성 향상을 위해 블록을 보다 효율적으로 다루는 기술에 대한 중요성이 대두되고 있다. 러그 구조의 안전하고 경제적인 설계를 위하여 비선형 구조해석 결과를 토대로 도출한 최종강도를 기준으로 한 보다 합리적인 설계과정이 필요하다. 본 연구는 조선소에서 자주 사용하는 T형 러그의 최적 구조설계를 다루고 있다. 본 연구에서의 T형 러그에 대한 최적 구조설계 결과는 충분한 구조적 안전성이 보장될 것으로 판단되고, 러그 용량별 최적 구조설계 결과의 중량 감소량에 어떤 규칙성을 발견할 수 없었는데, 이는, 현재의 설계과정에 대한 검토가 필요한 것으로 생각된다. 여기에서 제시한 비선형 구조해석에 기초한 최적 구조설계 과정은 향후 보다 다양한 경우의 러그 설계에 적용될 수 있을 것이다.
