ABOARD THE HUDIBRAS IN 1786, in the course of a harrowing journey from Africa to America, a popular woman died in slavery. Although she was “universally esteemed” among her fellow captives as an “oracle of literature,” an “orator,” and a “songstress,” she is anonymous to historians because the sailor on the slave ship who described her death, the young William Butterworth, did not record her na...

ports are the most important economic, political and military bottlenecks. this puts shoreline structures (port) in the class of important structures and they have a crucial role in the countries’ life. pile and deck wharf and their access bridges and offshore deck (jetties), are one of the parts which are supplier of coupling between the land and the waterfront. correct and exact estimation of...

design of bridge deck with long-term strength, durability and permanence is a significant interest for engineers. one applicable solution to this challenge could be via using hybrid system consisting of conventional materials such as concrete and steel with frp plates which is also known as composite deck. since these deck are relatively new so their performance is not completely known. the pre...

A study on the static analysis of a naval panel made composite sandwich materials is presented. By using FEM, modeling floor with length 5 m and width 2.5 performed. Two distinct cases, have been performed: first model consists plate stiffeners steel second concerns material type / SANFoam103 steel, steel. parametric has The thickness faces 6 mm, for core SANFoam selected thicknesses 10 20 40 mm.

This paper will outline the technical challenges of dynamic interface modelling & simulation, with a specific example of the Joint Shipboard Helicopter Integration Process (JSHIP). This program, one of the most ambitious helicopter simulation programs undertaken to date, has helped both to understand the potential of rotorcraft simulation today, and to realize the limitations of technology. The...

Ports are the most important economic, political and military bottlenecks. This puts shoreline structures (port) in the class of important structures and they have a crucial role in the countries’ life. Pile and deck wharf and their access bridges and offshore deck (jetties), are one of the parts which are supplier of coupling between the land and the waterfront. Correct and exact estimation of...

Today, wind energy contributes to the generation of electrical as well propulsion system on ships. In this study, issue optimum efficiency from turbines that can be installed ships for has been examined. context, a tanker ship was modeled and simulation study carried out. By dividing deck into five zones, it estimated which areas could receive more intense homogeneous winds. way, heights were d...

In terms of speed lost and fuel consumed, wind loads are considered one the main factors for large ship design, especially container ships. Alongside water resistance, air resistance in strong conditions has a significant impact on efficiency performance ships with box-type bodies. This paper reports effects acting 20,000 TEU carrying numbers deck containers using commercial CFD software progra...
