TL;DR: In this study, STEP PDM Schema and AP 239 PLCS, typical information models for the representation of product structure data in the mechanical field are analyzed and an approach for modeling the information on product structureData across the ship lifecycle is developed through comparison of information requirements in the Mechanical and the shipbuilding industries.
Abstract: Recent trends in the engineering information management technology of the shipbuilding industry are characterized by the spread of the product lifecycle management (PLM) concept and an increased demand on better use of ship engineering data after ship delivery. A typical approach taken for the application of PLM systems in the shipbuilding industry is either customizing PLM systems developed for use in the mechanical industry or developing a new ship lifecycle management system according to the information requirements specific to the shipbuilding industry. Product structure data, explicit hierarchical assembly structures representing assemblies and the constituents of those assemblies, forms the backbone of all engineering data managed by PLM systems. The product structure differs depending on an industry’s requirements or design and manufacturing methods. Therefore, an information modeling approach suitable for a ship product structure data is necessary for effectively applying the PLM concept in the shipbuilding industry. In this study, STEP PDM Schema and AP 239 PLCS, typical information models for the representation of product structure data in the mechanical field are analyzed. After the analysis, an approach for modeling the information on product structure data across the ship lifecycle is developed through comparison of information requirements in the mechanical and the shipbuilding industries. Particularly considered is the utilization of a ship product structure data at the phase of middle and end of life after the delivery.

TL;DR: A review of recent composite naval applications and a discussion on technical challenges associated with composite construction of naval ships is provided in this article, which includes issues related to design and analysis, fabrication, environmental effects, repair/joining, and fire, smoke and toxicity.
Abstract: The U.S. Navy is incorporating composite materials into the fleet due to the many advantages of composite construction compared to steel and aluminum construction. These advantages include the reduction in life costs, corrosion resistance, high strength- and stiffness-to-weight ratios, ability to tailor, and improved stealth. Of particular interest to the Navy are weight reduction and non-magnetic and damping characteristics associated with composite construction. Increased payload and range and improved ship stability can be achieved with weight reduction while nonmagnetic and damping characteristics help reduce magnetic and acoustic signatures. Many challenges still remain including issues related to design and analysis, fabrication, environmental effects, repair/joining, and fire, smoke, and toxicity. This paper includes a review of recent composite naval applications and a discussion on technical challenges associated with composite construction of naval ships.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the development of a tool that allows shipyard planners to efficiently and effectively plan space within valuable areas of a shipyard, which can be used by planners and construction management teams to manually or semiautomatically reserve space within the shipyard for construction of large units.
Abstract: In this paper we describe the development of a tool that allows shipyard planners to efficiently and effectively plan space within valuable areas of a shipyard. Traditionally, space is considered a resource; however, it is difficult to accurately account for and plan its consumption with the current planning software tools available. The spatial scheduling tool described in this paper can be used by planners and construction management teams to manually or semiautomatically reserve space within the shipyard for construction of large units over the entire ship erection period. The result is the ability to efficiently generate and compare multiple space allocation plans with the ultimate goal of maintaining the critical ship erection schedule. This work has been developed with Northrop Grumman Newport News (NGNN) under a project funded by an Office of Naval Research (ONR) Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) program.
