Shipbuilding enterprise innovation management: Product R&D and market expansion strategies driven by machine learning, molecular science, and biomechanics
Abstract
Background: With the increasing competition in the shipbuilding industry, enterprises are facing more stringent environmental protection requirements and challenges posed by the marine environment, particularly the corrosion of ship materials caused by microorganisms in seawater. This creates an urgent need for innovation management to introduce new technologies that can enhance the corrosion resistance of ships, extend their service life, and reduce maintenance costs. Objective: This paper aims to explore how molecular science and biomechanics can drive product research and development in the shipbuilding industry, especially in addressing the issue of seawater microbial corrosion, thereby promoting technological progress and market expansion for enterprises. Method: This study adopts a combination of case analysis and technological application research, focusing on how molecular technology can be used to develop antibacterial and anti-corrosive ship materials. It also investigates how biomechanics, through biomimetic principles, can enhance the adaptability and durability of ship designs. Additionally, the paper explores the application of molecular science and biomechanics in hull design, examining how nature’s biological defense mechanisms can be mimicked to design more corrosion-resistant, low-maintenance ship structures. Innovation: This paper systematically applies molecular technology and biomechanics to the shipbuilding sector, proposing new technical approaches for the prevention and control of seawater microbial corrosion. This not only effectively enhances the durability and environmental performance of ships but also reduces operational costs. Results: By developing novel anti-corrosion materials, molecular and biomechanical technologies significantly improved the adaptability of ships in marine environments and reduced microbial corrosion on hulls. The introduction of biomimetic design principles not only improved the structural stability of ships but also enhanced their performance in harsh marine conditions.
