Supervisor: Per Hogström, Department of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, Chalmers and Poul Andersen, Department of Mechanical Engineering, DTU. Master’s Thesis 2016:X350 Department of Shipping and Marine Technology Division of Division Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering Chalmers University of Technology SE-412 96 Gothenburg Sweden Telephone +46 31 772 1000 Cover: Development and design of a ship model for use in education and research Name of printers/ Department of Shipping and Marine Technology Gothenburg, Sweden 2016 i Abstract In this thesis a ship model for Chalmers University of Technology is developed. The model shall be used in research and education at the Department of Shipping and Marine Technology. The purpose was to develop a model that could compliment the courses thought at the maritime department at Chalmers, as well as the research. SSPA is maritime consultant company, ship model manufacturer and a test facility located in Gothen- burg, Sweden. Chalmers arrange yearly study visit to their test facilities as a part of the maritime educational program. These visits should complements the theoretical education and give the students hand-on experience. However, due to that most model tests are made confidential by the owner of the ship model, the students rarely get to participate in the model tests. For the same reason, the data from the tests are inaccessible and cannot be released to the students for further analysis. Therefor, Chalmers want to develop their own ship model. The thesis examines and describes the concept development, design of the hull and the design of the model itself. The report has been divided in three parts. The first part address the development of several concepts. It covers the investigation of the need for a ship model at Chalmers and the desired features the model should obtain. One concept is chosen and further developed in the next parts. The second part consider the design of the hull, and the third part cover the development of the model itself. The final result is 4.35 meter long ship model of a PCTC, which is specialised to do seakeeping and manoeuvring tests. In addition it has a large freeboard which makes it suitable to investigate intact stability. ii Preface This report is submitted to fulfil the requirement to the degree of Master of Science in Naval Archi- tecture and Ocean Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology. The work of the thesis was carried out during the spring of 2016. The scope of the project was developed in collaboration with our supervisors Senior lecture Per Hogström from Chalmers and Associate Professor Poul Andersen from DTU. The thesis is written by Kjartan Bauge and Emilie Voraa. We would like to express our gratitude to our supervisors Per Hogström and Poul Andersen for their guidance and support during this thesis. We would also like to thank Gabrielle Mazza, Nicolas Bath- field and Jonny Nisbet at SSPA for sharing their knowledge and their patience during the completion of this thesis. A special thank you to Fabian Tillig for highly appreciated guidance in the software Shipflow, your quality feedback and for the several hours of troubleshooting. Last, we would like give our warmest gratitude to all the personnel and lecturers who willingly let us interview them for this thesis; Poul Andersen, Rickard Bensow, Per Hogström, Carl-Erik Janson, Olle Lindmark, Bengt Ramne, Jonas Ringsberg, Martin Schreuder, Jan Skoog and Linda de Vries.

    Journal of Marine Science and Engineering Article Conception and Evolution of the Probabilistic Methods for Ship Damage Stability and Flooding Risk Assessment Dracos Vassalos * and M. P. Mujeeb-Ahmed Maritime Safety Research Centre (MSRC), Department of Naval Architecture, Ocean and Marine Engineering, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow G4 0LZ, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The paper provides a full description and explanation of the probabilistic method for ship damage stability assessment from its conception to date with focus on the probability of survival (s-factor), explaining pertinent assumptions and limitations and describing its evolution for specific application to passenger ships, using contemporary numerical and experimental tools and data. It also provides comparisons in results between statistical and direct approaches and makes recommendations on how these can be reconciled with better understanding of the implicit assumptions in the approach for use in ship design and operation. Evolution over the latter years to support pertinent regulatory developments relating to flooding risk (safety level) assessment as well as research in this direction with a focus on passenger ships, have created a new focus that combines all flooding hazards (collision, bottom and side groundings) to assess potential loss of life as a means of guiding further research and developments on damage stability for this ship type. The paper concludes by providing recommendations on the way forward for ship damage stability and Citation: Vassalos, D.; flooding risk assessment. Mujeeb-Ahmed, M.P.

  • Miniscale Modelling of Gyroscopic Effect with Application to Sheep Steering

I (Jan. 2014), PP 47-56 www.iosrjournals.org Miniscale Modelling Of Gyroscopic Effect with Application to Sheep Steering. Prof.N.B.Totala1,Kanchan Rode2, Purushottam Shelke3 , MayurTope4, Vaibhav Mahadik5 1(Assistant professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, MIT Academy of Engineering, Alandi (D), Pune, Maharashtra,412105) 2,3,4,5(Department of Mechanical Engineering,MIT Academy of Engineering, Alandi(D), Pune, Maharashtra,412105) Abstract: A gyroscope is a device for measuring or maintaining orientation, based on the principles of momentum. Mechanically, a gyroscope is a spinning wheel or disc in which the axle is free to assume any orientation. Although this orientation does not remain fixed, it changes in response to an external torque much less and in a different direction, than it would without the large angular momentum associated with the disc's high rate of spin and inertia. Ships or sea vessels require stabilization when they face heavy sea waves. A disturbing couple acts on the ships due to sea waves, hence stabilization of ship is necessary. Due to sea waves, ship will either roll or pitch. The amplitude of rolling is much higher than amplitude of pitching. The gyroscope can be used for reducing the amplitude of rolling and hence, stabilizing the ship. The fundamental requirement of gyroscopic stabilization is that, the gyroscopic must be made to precess by some external means (example: electric motor) in such a way that the relative gyroscopic couple exerted by the rotor should oppose any disturbing couple which may act on the ship.

  • Analysis of Active Gyro Based Roll-Stabilization of Slender Boat Hulls
    Analysis of Active Gyro Based Roll-Stabilization of Slender Boat Hulls Naval Architecture TAO ZHANG Master of Science Thesis Stockholm, Sweden 2014 Analysis of Active Gyro Based Roll-Stabilization of Slender Boat Hulls Tao Zhang [email protected] Academic Supervisor: Ivan Stenius Examiner: Jakob Kuttenkeuler Date: March 4, 2014 KTH, School of Engineering Sciences (SCI), Aeronautical and Vehicle Engineering, Naval Systems Stockholm, Sweden 1 ABSTRACT Currently, traffic congestion often happens in big cities every day. People demand a new conceptual vehicle which has a slender shape to reduce space, lightweight structure to decrease the fuel consumption and innovative technology to adapt for multiple transportation conditions. NEWT is such a conceptual amphibious vehicle that satisfies people's requirements. However, everything has two sides. Slender shape and high centre of gravity will result in instability. When NEWT runs in low speed, it easily gets rolled over. In order to make up for its drawback, gyro-stabilizer has been applied to the vehicle. By tilting the rotational gyro, it generates a counter torque counteracting the roll motion to make the vehicle recover to an upright position. Therefore this master thesis analyses the original stability of the vehicle and the possible improvement by adding the gyro system for both land and water-conditions. The model can handle the problem that the vehicle meets periodic disturbance forces, such as wave excitation force and wind force. 2 FOREWORD First I really appreciate my supervisor Ivan Stenius for his help. His constant feedback, comments, discussion, and encouragement always enlighten me and show me the right way. I would also like to acknowledge my teachers: Jakob Kuttenkeuler, Anders Rosén, Karl Garme, and Stefan Hallström.

This criteria is empirical and does not consider ship characteristics other than the righting arm curve. It does not directly consider the Sea State or the wind gusts. The International Maritime Organization is using a criteria developed in the 1970's and 1980's. This criteria is also empirical, and does not directly consider the Sea State. In this thesis the fundamentals of both the US Navy and IMO criteria are discussed.

  • UNSTABLE SHIP MOTIONS APLIED on SHIP-WEATHER ROUTING ALGORITHM Simroutev2
    UNSTABLE SHIP MOTIONS APLIED ON SHIP-WEATHER ROUTING ALGORITHM SIMROUTEv2 Bachelor’s Thesis by Lluís Basiana Ribera B.Sc A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Nautical Science and Maritime Transport Department of Nautical Sciences and Engineering Facultat de Nàutica de Barcelona Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya Barcelona Submitted May 2018 Abstract Some combinations of wave length and wave height under certain operational conditions may lead to dangerous unstable motions for ships in accordance with the IS Code. The susceptibility of a ship to dangerous phenomenon will depend on the stability parameters, ship speed, hull shape and ship size. This signifies that the vulnerability to dangerous responses, including capsizing, and its probability of occurrence in a singular sea state may differ for each ship. During navigation periods these unstable motions are able to be encountered, which may lead to a cargo or equipment damage and the unsafety of the persons on board. The main reason for these causes is rarely known and currently there are just few work such as the International Maritime Organization guidelines which tries to ensure adequate dynamic stability (IMO, MSC.1/Circ.1228, 2007). Ship routing systems are gaining importance in the maritime sector as the use of these systems can lead to the reduction of fuel usage and reduce costs. Therefore, a mitigation of carbon emissions and improvement of maritime safety happens due to the avoidance of bad weather conditions. The implementation of pathfinding algorithms to determine the optimal ship routing has been widely used for transoceanic distances. However, the evaluation of short distance routes with ship-weather routing algorithms is still scarce, due to the low spatial resolution of wave fields.
