Includes bibliography. / This thesis is an experimental investigation into the components of ship resistance. The traditional Froude method of scaling is investigated with reference to the measurement of skin friction and viscous pressure resistance. A literature review is given on the theoretical background and experimental measurement techniques. Two models are used for the experimental work, which sizes are in the geometric ratio of 2,7 to 1. The model form is half a body of revolution with a...

Approved for public release, distribution is unlimited / A critical factor in the success of an amphibious operation is how well the load plan supports the landing plan. The current manual system for ship load planning is time consuming and subject to error. A computer system currently under development by a contractor will decrease planning time and reduce mistakes by automating many details of the planning process. A method to assess the quality of load plans and make comparisons among them is...

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 14-16, 1975 / Sheraton Inn, Silver Spring, Maryland / The performance of a laser gate ship mast detector is evaluated. The laser gate consists of transmitting optics and laser on one side of a shipping channel and receiving optics and detector on the other side of the channel. Expressions relating the probability of detection and the false alarm rate to laser power, noise, visibility or atmospheric attenuation of the beam are developed....

One method to increase efficiency, robustness and accuracy of automatic control, is to introduce mathematical models of the system in question to increase performance. With these models, it is possible to predict the behavior of the system, which enables control according to the predictions. The problem here is that if these models do not describe the dynamics of the system well enough, this method could fail to increase performance. To address this problem, one idea is to estimate the dynamics ...

In this study the dynamic response of a ship structure to impact loads is investigated. The ship motion is fully three-dimensional and the ship structure is modeled as a three-dimensional elastic beam. Finite element methods are used to digitize the equations of motion of the system. The forces on the ship are interactive with the ship motion and position so that a full dynamic analysis is essential. Two main problems are considered: i) Estimation of hull damage when a ship collides with anothe...

A numerical method is presented for simulating the behaviour of large amplitude nonlinear free surface waves including wave breaking. Various initial conditions are given and the subsequent surface profiles are calculated by a time stepping simulation. The flow field is solved as a boundary value problem for the velocity potential using a complex variable method based on the Cauchy integral theorem. Waves of varying shape, height, and length are investigated to determine the parameters necessary...

Ships of all types spend a large part of their lives in port and this idle time adds considerably to the fixed cost of providing shipping service. Technological progress has empowered the construction of larger, faster and more economical vessels, but organisational and cargo handling innovations in the ports have not kept pace; in many instances the line-haul savings achieved by larger vessels are negated by excessive idle time in port, during which many costs continue unabated. The extent to w...

The associated ship and the jurisdiction to arrest such a ship created in terms of the Admiralty Jurisdiction Regulation Act 105 of 1983 is a unique legal institution in the world of maritime law and jurisdiction. The sister ship arrest envisaged by the Arrest Convention, 1952 is encompassed by the associated ship but the concept of an associated ship goes considerably further than the sister ship in going behind the separate corporate personality of ship-owning companies to their controlling in...

Gaspar, Henrique M.

This research examines the handling complexity aspects of conceptual design. Contemporary consensus suggests vessel design must consider new market requirements such as greater emphasis on environmental performance, a larger degree of uncertainty in terms of contract horizon, and the need for reliability of multiple operations assessed during early stages. Consequently, the industry has experienced development on many levels of ship design, from advanced subsystems (e.g., a wide range of machine...

This thesis project was conducted to compare the environmental impacts between two types of material for a superstructure of cruising ship (Norwegian Gem) using life cycle assessment (LCA) methods. With the increasing price of industrial raw materials and finite resources, more and more corporations or manufacturers endeavor in seeking more economical materials and less environmental impacts within the ship building field. In recent years, lightweight composite material has been applied in vario...

In this thesis a model of a ship propulsion system containing an engine, turbocharger, propeller and ship was constructed. The purpose of the model is to be used in controller design and testing. This is motivated by the fact that testing large marine diesel engines is limited due to large costs and difficulty providing a proper testbed facility.First compressor and turbine models were developed by fitting parameters to manufacturer turbocharger maps. A novel compressor model was made from using...

The oil price continues to increase while oil companies search for oil in new areas. There is assumed that 25% of the world’s hydrocarbons are located in the arctic area. Operating in these areas will be a huge challenge due to extreme low temperatures and ice condition Today one can predict with good accuracy how a ship will manage in different ice condition. Research on ship operating in ice the last decades has resulted in many different formulas for predicting ice resistance on a ship h...

As a result of the steadily increasing activities related to marine technology in Arctic regions, Det Norske Veritas has launched an ice load monitoring project to gather knowledge of the ice conditions and prevailing ice-induced actions in the region. The intention of the following thesis is to study different aspects related to design of ice-going vessels, in particular the design scenario where a vessel impacts an ice ridge.The introductory part of the thesis gives an overview of important as...

This dissertation is rooted in one general question: what can the wood from ships reveal about the people and cultures who built them? Shipwrecks are only the last chapter of a complex story, and while the last fifty years of nautical archaeology have managed to rewrite a number of these chapters, much of the information unrelated to a ship’s final voyage remains a mystery. However, portions of that mystery can be exposed by an examination of the timbers. An approach for the cultural investigati...

Sloshing is a violent resonent free surface flow in a container. The main objective of this thesis has been to study sloshing in rectangular and prismatic tanks. The tank may be excited by a harmonic motion or it may move with a ship in waves. In the latter case, the coupled ship motions and sloshing problem is investigated. A nonlinear analytically based sloshing model is used in the solshing calculations. Experiments have been conducedand collected data are utilized in the validation of the sl...

Analysis of shipboard equipment failure generated by merging Navy casualty report and Unified Industries Onboard Maintenance Training (OMT) data bases demonstrate a measurable positive effect on reliability in those ships which participated in the program. When comparing equipment failure rates of these trained ships before and up to three years after the training event, over 70 percent of the time there was definite net positive effect. Eleven OMT courses, comprising 1176 shipboard training eve...
