Manoeuvring Assessment in Concept Ship Design

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Reengineering the Naval Ship Concept Design Process

Naval ship concept design is very much an “ad hoc” process. Selection of design concepts for assessment is guided primarily by experience, design lanes, rules-of-thumb, preference and imagination. Objective attributes are not adequately synthesized or presented to support efficient and effective decisions. Attributes are often qualitative, inconsistent, and not provided to design engineers in a...

Early Stage Integrated Parametric Ship Design

Innovative ship design projects often require an extensive concept design phase to allow a wide range of potential solutions to be investigated, identifying which best suits the requirements. In these situations, the majority of ship design tools do not provide the best solution, limiting quick reconfiguration by focusing on detailed definition only. Parametric design, including generation of t...

CONSIDERATION OF DESIGN FOR PRODUCTION PRINCIPLES IN SHIP HULL DESIGN

In designing for ship production, the production method should be considered and it’s possible to reduce the manufacturing cost in designing procedure. A review of background of ship design that had minimized production costs, shows the principles and problems of these methods. Modern designing methods for manufacturing, considers hydrodynamic efficiency and less manufacturing cost. Quant...
