The lab studies the functional design and evaluation of marine systems.
AboutAbout the lab
Designing the functions of marine systems
The Functional Systems Engineering Lab studies the design and evaluation needed to make the fullest use of functions such as transportation, production, and artificial structures for utilizing ocean space.
The research covers the functional design and environmental design that marine systems should have, and optimal design in which the whole system integrates and harmonizes with the human system.
The faculty members' researcher profiles list topics such as ventilation design for engine rooms of ships using alternative fuels, automation of painting processes, noise control in ship accommodation areas, and observation of work in shipyards.
Key terms
- Alternative fuel
- A fuel used in place of conventional ship fuel. Ammonia is given as an example in the researcher profiles.
- Blasting
- A surface treatment of steel plates carried out in the painting process. In this research, the surface preparation grade is identified through optical analysis.
- Acoustic tube
- A tube used to reduce noise. In this research, its effect is examined through acoustic simulation.
- Deep neural network
- A computational model made up of many stacked layers. The lab uses it to read the state of work from images.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies the functional design and environmental design that marine systems should have, so that functions such as transportation, production, and artificial structures for utilizing ocean space can be used to the fullest. It also works on optimal design in which the whole system is in harmony with humans, and on the evaluation of such design.
*Illustrative imageEngine room ventilation design for ships using alternative fuels
The lab studies how to design ventilation for ship engine rooms with ammonia fuel in mind. The lab has worked on this theme since 2024.
*Illustrative imageAutomation of painting processes
Toward digitalizing painting processes, the lab is working to put into practical use a device that identifies the surface preparation grade of blasted surfaces through optical analysis.
*Illustrative imageNoise control in ship accommodation areas
The lab studies methods to predict and reduce noise in ship accommodation areas. Using acoustic simulation, it examines how to reduce noise from engine room air intake and exhaust ducts by means of acoustic tubes.
*Illustrative imageWork observation for shipbuilding DX
Toward digital transformation (DX) in shipbuilding, the lab studies methods to observe and evaluate work in shipyards using image sensing technology and deep neural networks.
