    “China’s Merchant Marine” A paper for the China as “Maritime Power” Conference July 28-29, 2015 CNA Conference Facility Arlington, Virginia by Dennis J. Blasko1 Introductory Note: The Central Intelligence Agency’s World Factbook defines “merchant marine” as “all ships engaged in the carriage of goods; or all commercial vessels (as opposed to all nonmilitary ships), which excludes tugs, fishing vessels, offshore oil rigs, etc.”2 At the end of 2014, the world’s merchant ship fleet consisted of over 89,000 ships.3 According to the BBC: Under international law, every merchant ship must be registered with a country, known as its flag state. That country has jurisdiction over the vessel and is responsible for inspecting that it is safe to sail and to check on the crew’s working conditions. Open registries, sometimes referred to pejoratively as flags of convenience, have been contentious from the start.4 1 Dennis J. Blasko, Lieutenant Colonel, U.S. Army (Retired), a Senior Research Fellow with CNA’s China Studies division, is a former U.S. army attaché to Beijing and Hong Kong and author of The Chinese Army Today (Routledge, 2006).The author wishes to express his sincere thanks and appreciation to Rear Admiral Michael McDevitt, U.S. Navy (Ret), for his guidance and patience in the preparation and presentation of this paper. 2 Central Intelligence Agency, “Country Comparison: Merchant Marine,” The World Factbook, https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/fields/2108.html. According to the Factbook, “DWT or dead weight tonnage is the total weight of cargo, plus bunkers, stores, etc., that a ship can carry when immersed to the appropriate load line.

  • Possibilities of Airframe Structures Cost Saving Through Reducing Number of Fasteners
    Possibilities of airframe structures cost saving through reducing number of fasteners RŮŽEK Roman1,a, DOUBRAVA Radek1,b, KRUSE-STRACK Thomas2,c and KOERWIEN Thomas3,d 1Czech Aerospace Research Centre, Strength of Structure Department; Beranových 130, 199 05 Praha - Letňany, Czech Republic 2 Airbus Operations GmbH, Airframe Research & Technology, Kreetslag 10 21129 Hamburg Germany 3 Airbus Defence and Space GmbH, Materials & Processes, Rechliner Str., 85077 Manching, Germany [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], d [email protected] Keywords: Key, Word, Paper, Best conference, Contribution template (maximum of 5) Abstract. Reduction of numbers of mechanical fasteners together with bonding technology application can be one of the possibilities how to decrease costs of the structure. In the paper, results based on fatigue testing of novel design approaches for damage tolerant high load transfer (HLT) joints, as e.g. panel joints, are discussed for carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP) adherents. Fatigue experimental results and numerical simulations of Wide Single Lap Shear (WSLS) specimen are presented for different configurations to proof the crack stopping behaviour of "state of the art" fasteners as reference crack arrestor concept. Introduction One of the main aims of designers is application of cost-effective strategies. The composite structures can lower costs of an airframe significantly, but there are some obstacles to adopt of advanced technologies like adhesive bonding or welding and prevent to use full strength capabilities of these technologies to real structures. Nowadays, there is no fully certified bonded technology applicable to full-scale airframe structure which comply airworthiness regulations from viewpoint of damage tolerance criteria.

Existing Design Trends for Tankers and Bulk Carriers - Design Changes for Improvement of the EEDI in the Future Hans Otto Holmegaard Kristensen1 and Marie Lützen2 ABSTRACT To get an idea of the reduction in propulsion power and associated emissions by varying the speed and other ship design main parameters, a generic model for parameter studies has been developed. With only a few input parameters of which the maximum deadweight capacity is the primary one, a proposal for the main dimensions and the necessary installed power is calculated by the model.

  • Fatigue Behavior and Damage Tolerant Design of Bonded Joints for Aerospace Application on Fiber Metal Laminates and Composites
    29th ICAF Symposium – Nagoya, 7–9 June 2017 Fatigue behavior and damage tolerant design of bonded joints for aerospace application on Fiber Metal Laminates and composites Kruse, Thomas 1, Thomas Körwien², Roman Ruzek³, Robert Hangx1, Calvin Rans1 1 Technical University of Delft, Netherlands 2Airbus Defence and Space, Germany ³VZLU, Czech Republic Abstract: Today, the application of adhesive bonding technology for primary aerospace structures is limited due to the certification regulations. State of the art is the widely used “chicken rivet” as crack arrestor which is limiting the benefits of bonding technology, particularly in composite bonded joints. In this paper results from fatigue testing of novel design approaches for damage tolerant high load transfer (HLT) joints as e.g. Panel Joints or large bonded repairs will be discussed for CFRP and for Fiber Matel Laminates´(FML) adherents. Results from fatigue testing with Wide Single Lapshear (WSLS) specimen will be presented for different configurations to proof the crack stopping behavior of sate of the art fasteners as reference crack arrestor concept. STATE OF THE ART BONDING TECHNOLOGY With the entry into service of the A350XWB a consequent evolution of the usage of CFRP for primary structures within Airbus Group has reached the next milestone. After a long and excellent experience with CFRP in civil and military applications, first applied on secondary structures and since 1983 for the vertical stabilizer as first major primary structural component for civil aircrafts, Airbus Group has now reached the next step in the transition from a metallic to a composite aircraft with the first CFRP fuselage of an Airbus aircraft on A350 XWB.
