Safe and efficient berthing is essential to ensure maritime transportation the safety of ships ports. Three-dimensional (3D) light detection ranging (LiDAR) can monitor support ship because it provides abundant target information offers excellent advantages in measuring accuracy. Hence, a extraction system has been developed based on 3D LiDAR. Principal component analysis used calculate ship’s ...

The docking mechanism is a key component for on-orbit refueling technology. In this paper, the design and analysis of novel floating berthing-based presented. Compared with traditional berthing docking, here high in success rate low impact, which accomplished by stretching out subassembly instead pulling back client spacecraft. However, also has two problems: initial deviations between spacecra...

Mainly composed of elastic materials, ship fenders are utilised on all kinds vessels for the protection berthing structures and prevention damage due to heavy crash loads. This study aims enhance deformation mode performance foam-filled under quasi-static dynamic loadings. Six models fender’s structure chosen simulation test. The examined crashworthiness parameters such as crushing force effici...
