Ship Collision Risk Evaluation using AIS and weather data through fuzzy logic and deep learning

According to the European Maritime Safety Agency, marine casualties and incidents are mainly caused by ‘Human action’ which highlights the need for more advanced technologies to enhance the safety of ships, particularly through improved risk assessment of ship collisions.

Vibration analysis of cycloidal propeller blade during ship maneuvering

Marine Cycloidal Propeller (MCP) is well known for its maneuvering capability. It has unique kinematics. During operation, for each rotation of the propeller disc, each one of the blades undergoes one oscillation.

Effect of Weld Parameters on Effective Notch Stress at Weld Root and Toe of Load Carrying Cruciform Joints

Cruciform joints in ships are prone to fatigue damage and the determination of type of weld plays a significant role in the fatigue design of the joint.

Stochastic finite element analysis of composite cycloidal propeller blade during crash-stop ship maneuver

This article quantifies uncertainty in the dynamic responses of marine cycloidal propeller (MCP) blade by Stochastic Finite Element Method (SFEM) during crash-stop ship maneuver.

Prediction of non-linear wave loads on large floating structures using a 3D numerical wave tank approach

In the present work, non-linear wave loads acting on large floating structures are computed using a 3D numerical wave tank (NWT) approach in an approximate manner.

Air Gap Prediction for Floating Bodies using a 3D Numerical Wave Tank Approach

Computations for air gap response of a semisubmersible platform based on a 3D numerical wave tank approach are presented.

Development of Empirical Formulation for Bow Flare Slamming and Deck Wetness for Displacement Vessels

The paper presents an empirical method to calculate bow flare slamming pressure and the green water load. Many empirical formulae for various types of vessels have been provided by rules of ship classification societies.

Application of Reliability Centered Maintenance Techniques to a Dynamically Positioned Vessel using Failure Mode Effect and Analysis – a Case Study

Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) is a systematic approach to ensure that a system maintains its functional capability through optimum maintenance activities. One of the key step in implementing RCM is to carry out Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA).

Numerical Studies on Effects of Slosh Coupling on Ship Motions and Derived Slosh Loads

This work presents development of a ship motion algorithm coupled with slosh loads and studies the effect of the coupling on both slosh loads and ship motions for different conditions.

Development of Empirical Formulations of Slamming Loads for Displacement Vessels

The paper presents an empirical method to calculate slamming load acting as bottom impact pressure on the forward region of the vessel.
