Innovation in Ship Design
<p>What is innovation in ship design? Is it a capability that is inherent in all naval architects? Is it the result of the application of a certain set of tools, or of operation within a certain organizational structure? Can innovation be taught?</p> <p>Innovation is a creative act that results in …

Ship Design Optimization Using Asset
This thesis describes the design optimization of two different types of vessels. They are LHA(R), a replacement for the US Navy amphibious assault ship and DDG51, a destroyer class vessel. The overall measure of effectiveness (OMOE) and the lead ship acquisition cost (LCA) are considered to be the …

Ship design with the human factor: evacuation and normal operations modelling in the ship design process
… of human factors and how they can impact ship design. Two different but related applications areas are considered; passenger ship evacuation analysis and naval vessel normal operations and evacuation analysis. In the first instance, this thesis investigates the impact of the current …

Systems modeling for electric ship design
Diesel and gas turbine electric ship propulsion are of current interest for several types of vessels that are important for commercial shipping and for the next generation of war ships. During the design process of a platform, a choice has to be made between two different fundamental concepts …

Quantifying Flexibility in Naval Ship Design
Warships are highly complex and complicated systems that are designed in the present to address problems that will exist decades in the future. Because of the significant time gap between preliminary design and the end of the ship’s service life, it is critical that it be built with flexibility in …

Multi-criteria analysis in naval ship design
… have been an issue for marine/naval engineering design studies for many years. This problem becomes more important when one considers novel ship types with very limited or no operational record. A number of approaches have been proposed to overcome these multiple criteria design optimization …

Resistance and wake prediction for early stage ship design
Before the detailed design of a new vessel a designer would like to explore the design space to identify an appropriate starting point for the concept design. The base design needs to be done at the preliminary design level with codes that execute fast to completely explore the design space. The …

A dynamic energy modelling approach to low energy ship design
… expended to improve the energy efficiency of ships due to the relatively low price of fuel oil and lack of stringent environmental regulations. However, the ever-growing intercontinental trade has resulted in an increase of greenhouse gas emissions from ships that triggered the introduction of …
