Abstract

Carbon fiber is an excellent structural material, which has been proven in many industries, and the shipbuilding industry is no exception. In particular, in advanced maritime countries, special ships of the Navy and Coast Guard with carbon fiber composite hulls have already been deployed. In Korea, carbon fiber composite materials have been applied to a 10-ton class leisure craft or a 30-ton class patrol, but no research has been done on a hundred of tons or more vessels. In this study, the feasibility study of a 500-ton patrol vessel with a carbon fiber composite hull was conducted through an analysis of similar cases abroad. As a result, it was recognized that the developed hull can be reduced in weight by about 21% to 25% compared to the existing aluminum or FRP hull. It was also confirmed that this light-weight effect can induce the improvement of the maximum speed and the improvement of the operating range via simulations.


탄소섬유 복합소재의 우수성은 이미 여러 산업분야에서 입증되었으며, 조선산업 또한 예외는 아니다. 특히, 해양선진국에서는 탄소섬유 복합소재 선체의 해군과 해경의 특수선박이 이미 실전 배치된 바 있다. 국내에서도 10톤 급 레저선박 혹은 30톤 급 고속정 등에 탄소섬유 복합소재가 적용된 바 있으나, 아직까지 수 백 톤 이상의 경비함급에 대한 연구는 이루어진 바 없다. 본 연구에서는 해외 유사사례 분석을 통해 탄소섬유 복합소재 선체의 500톤 급 경비함에 대한 건조가능성 검토를 수행하였다. 연구결과, 기존 알루미늄 혹은 FRP 선체 대비 약 21%~25%의 경량화가 가능함을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이러한 경량화 효과는 동급 선박보다 최대 운항 속력의 향상과 함께 작전 반경의 향상효과 또한 기대할 수 있는 것으로 시뮬레이션되었다
