Influence of Trimaran Geometric Parameters on Intact and Damaged Ship Stability
… three hulls, has captured interest among naval ship designers and stakeholders. A definition of multi-hulls is introduced as a continuum with monohulls on one end, catamarans on the other, and trimarans in-between. A review of methods to assess intact and damaged stability follows in addition to …

Application of Lyapunov Exponents to Strange Attractors and Intact & Damaged Ship Stability
… repeatedly predict. In extreme sea states most ships depend on an operating envelope, relying on the operator's detailed knowledge of headings and maneuvers to reduce the risk of capsize. While in some cases this mitigates this risk, the nonlinear nature of the event precludes any certainty of …

A framework for ship stability in a seastate using the state-space Fokker-Planck method
Ships sailing on the ocean have many inherent dangers. One of the most compelling is when they interact with severe stochastic waves, resulting in a loss of stability and adversely affecting their operation. This can result in extreme motions, at the very least making life difficult for crew, to …

A Heuristic Approach To Designing A Unique Ships Grid With Energy Storage for the Future Fleet of River Tender Ships
… work discusses the implementation of a Unique Ships Grid design that utilizes Energy Storage. This Unique Ships Grid is used to enhance the efficiency of a Construction Single-Hull River Tender previously discussed and assessed by the Army Corps of Engineers and the United States Coast Guard …

The Application of Artificial Intelligence Techniques to the Deep-Sea Container-Ship Cargo Stowage Problem
Container-ships are vessels possessing an internal structure that facilitates the handling of containerised cargo. At each port along the journey of a container-ship, containers destined for that port are unloaded, and some containers destined for subsequent ports are loaded. Determining a viable …

An integrated approach to damage ship survivability assessment
This research concentrates on damage ship stability and means for assessing dynamic ship performance in this state. A consolidation of many approaches for tackling damage ship dynamics has been undertaken, culminating in the development of a numerical tool for simulating ship behaviour while …

Analytical and Numerical Methods Applied to Nonlinear Vessel Dynamics and Code Verification for Chaotic Systems
… method has been applied to several nonlinear ship dynamics models, which are related to the new generation of stability criteria in the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The advantage of this extended Melnikov's method is it overcomes the limitation of small damping that is intrinsic …
