This paper presents the Fleet Efficiency Factor, a decision support tool for fleet size and mix problems and fleet composition problems. The method is based on a particle swarm optimisation algorithm combined with a stochastic model to include uncertainties into the decision-making progress. This combination allows selecting the best option out of a pool of available vessels, vehicles and aircrafts. Additionally, the FEF is based on the classical ship merit factor and thus capable of comparing different fleet compositions according to their economic efficiency, by describing the efficiency in a simple factor. A case study for the supply of an offshore platform in the high North is conducted. The approach proved to be flexible and applicable to different strategical and tactical planning problems in maritime transportation.","PeriodicalId":51883,"journal":{"name":"Ship Technology Research","volume":"66 1","pages":"106 - 116"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2019-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09377255.2018.1558612","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46224875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A linear stability analysis of the motion equations of the ship, using a mathematical model for approximating the hydrodynamic forces acting on the ship including mean forces and moments due to waves, shows if the equilibrium state for a given wave, i.e. the corresponding combination of rudder and drift angle, represents a stable condition. RANS computations for the container ship DTC in calm water and in regular waves of diverse lengths coming from several directions have been used to determine all coefficients of the mathematical model in the showed sample application. Selected situations proven to be stable in theory have successfully been directly simulated afterwards with the RANS code, confirming the validity of the proposed procedure. Some preliminary experiments at the Hamburg Ship Model Basin HSVA support our approach.","PeriodicalId":51883,"journal":{"name":"Ship Technology Research","volume":"66 1","pages":"75 - 82"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2019-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09377255.2019.1598607","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46055973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Monte Carlo simulation is used for generating a large number of damage cases. The probability distributions for damage extent and location are based on the current SOLAS regulation. Each case is calculated with time-domain flooding simulation, assuming quasi-static motions and calm sea, thus enabling evaluation of the righting lever curve during the flooding process. The ship survivability is analysed based on requirements for a sufficient reserve stability. The proposed method is demonstrated with a large passenger ship design. Based on the detailed investigation of the results, the effects of various design changes are studied. Furthermore, the impact of waves on the flooding process is studied. The presented method for survivability assessment is robust and especially suitable for comparing design variations, or ships with similar main dimensions.","PeriodicalId":51883,"journal":{"name":"Ship Technology Research","volume":"66 1","pages":"180 - 192"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2019-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09377255.2019.1598629","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48674259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Emphasis is given to proximity influences on inertia and resistance forces. The numerical study employs an overset grid procedure, which accounts for the mechanical contact of rigid bodies, to investigate contact simulations of a circular cylinder and a sphere with a plane wall, which were previously analysed with less general approaches. Results obtained from the present study reveal a significant increase of the additional inertia and resistance forces when reducing the distance to the wall. Moreover, the results indicate that the proximity influence on the added mass and added resistance is coupled. While previous studies in the literature have not been able to capture the observed high-order influences, the derived formulae provide simple corrections of the baseline values that can easily be transferred to wetted structural simulations.","PeriodicalId":51883,"journal":{"name":"Ship Technology Research","volume":"97 1","pages":"117 - 134"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2018-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09377255.2018.1556496","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59903850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to accurately predict the hydrodynamic characteristics of these propellers in real operating conditions, the structural deformation must be accounted for, which leads to a fluid-structure interaction problem. In the present paper, a partitioned solution approach for such a strongly coupled two-field problem is presented. Owing to the separate modelling of the fluid and the structural problem in such approaches, specialised numerical methods can be applied on either side. Thanks to their superior convergence properties, we use high-order finite elements to discretise the structural problem. On the fluid side, a boundary element method, which is specifically designed to simulate the hydrodynamic behaviour of ship propellers is employed. In order to stabilise the solution procedure, different coupling algorithms and convergence acceleration methods are investigated.","PeriodicalId":51883,"journal":{"name":"Ship Technology Research","volume":"67 1","pages":"37 - 50"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2018-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09377255.2018.1542782","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47424485","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The progressive collapse behaviour is determined for load cases of pure longitudinal and transverse thrust as well as for combined loads of lateral pressure and shear. The influence of preloads due to lateral pressure and shear on the remaining load carrying capacity of steel plate structures under inplane thrust is demonstrated. The effect of two different configurations of essential boundary conditions for shear load applications is discussed.
