DOWNLOAD EBOOKRisk-based ship design is a new scientific and engineering field of growing interest to researchers, engineers and professionals from various disciplines related to ship design, construction, operation and regulation. The main motivation to use risk-based approaches is twofold: implement a novel ship design which is considered safe but - for some formal, regulatory reason - cannot be approved today and/or rationally optimize an existing design with respect to safety, without compromising on efficiency and performance. It is a clear direction that all future technological and regulatory (International Maritime Organisation) developments regarding ship design and operation will go through risk-based procedures, which are known and well established in other industries (e.g. nuclear, aviation). The present book derives from the knowledge gained in the course of the project SAFEDOR (Design, Operation and Regulation for Safety), an Integrated Project under the 6th framework programme of the European Commission (IP 516278). The book aims to provide an understanding of the fundamentals and details of the integration of risk-based approaches into the ship design process. The book facilitates the transfer of knowledge from recent research work to the wider maritime community and advances scientific approaches dealing with risk-based design and ship safety.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKShip optimization design is critical to the preliminary design of a ship. With the rapid development of computer technology, the simulation-based design (SBD) technique has been introduced into the field of ship design. Typical SBD consists of three parts: geometric reconstruction; CFD numerical simulation; and optimization. In the context of ship design, these are used to alter the shape of the ship, evaluate the objective function and to assess the hull form space respectively. As such, the SBD technique opens up new opportunities and paves the way for a new method for optimal ship design. This book discusses the problem of optimizing ship’s hulls, highlighting the key technologies of ship optimization design and presenting a series of hull-form optimization platforms. It includes several improved approaches and novel ideas with significant potential in this field

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Risk-Based Ship Design (RBD) methodology, advocating the systematic integration of risk assessment in the conventional design process so that ship safety is treated as an objective rather than a constraint, has swept through a wide spectrum of the maritime industry over the past fifteen years. Through this methodology, safety is situated at a central position alongside conventional design objectives, so that wellbalanced design effort could be spent and consequently comprehensive design optimisation can be performed. Despite the recognition and increasing popularity, important factors that could potentially undermine its implementation arise both from qualitative and quantitative aspects. This necessitates the development of an objective, reliable and efficient methodology for risk-based ship design implementation. The research presented in this thesis proposes a formalised methodological framework to fulfil this global objective. It comprises three interrelated stages to be performed during risk assessment, namely the development of next generation marine accident/incident database, risk modelling in Bayesian networks by deploying data mining techniques, and the integration with the framework for risk-based design decision making. Working procedures, techniques, methods and algorithms have been developed and applied to representative examples and case studies to demonstrate the applicability and the potential offered by this framework. Each stage of the framework is a field with vast potential for further research, development and application. The ensuing findings firm the faith that an optimal approach towards risk-based design is achievable and extensive applications need to be conducted before experience and confidence can be gained. It is believed that this research has contributed positively towards the evolvement of risk-based ship design.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe book focused on the basic bottleneck issues in the ship uncertainty-based design optimization. Based on the concepts of robustness and reliability design, uncertainty classification, uncertainty modeling, uncertainty analysis and propagation methods were systematically explained, revealing the influence mechanism and rules of multi-source aleatory and epistemic uncertainty on ship design. Finally, a hull form design optimization method with mixed uncertainty was established. The theory of uncertainty design optimization is not yet mature, and this book gives a detailed introduction. The illustrations and tables in this book compared the differences between uncertainty-based optimization and traditional deterministic optimization, reflecting the advantages of uncertainty optimization. This book will be a useful reference for researchers and engineers in the field of ship design.
