Architectura Navalis Mercatoria, Treatise on Shipbuilding (reprint of 1820 edition)
AuthorsFredrik Henrik af Chapman
Shelf Location230a
AbstractThe book contains 62 engravings depicting vessels and craft from Sweden (of which Chapman was a native) and abroad. Some were designed by Chapman himself, but many were vessels or types which he had encountered on his travels or seen around him. The book covers everything from warships to cargo boats and small fishing craft. The accompanying text, including the preface to his later work Tractat om Skeppa-Byggeriet (Tract on Shipbuilding) of 1775, is written in German.

Assessment of ship manoeuvrability based on IMO resolution No.A.751
AuthorsC-G Kang ; J-H Kim ; M S Chislett
Shelf Location213c
AbstractIn 1993 IMO's resolution No.A.751 on ship manoeuvrability was adopted. Sea trial data carried out in Korean ship yards was collected and analyzed based on the Interim Standards for Ship Manoeuvrability (1993) and the Explanatory Notes to the Standards (1994). The analysis of the data base showed that the criteria in the standards are not so strict for ships built during the last few years. Some suggestions are made arising from the analysis of the data base and the application of the criteria.

AuthorsP Kolev ; M Tzenkov ; P Georgiev et al.
Date published2000
AbstractResults of investigations into computer on-board loading systems are discussed. The increase in economical effectiveness and environmental protection is emphasised.

Crude oil technology - impact on surveying of research into properties of crude oil
AuthorsT Gunner
Date published2001
AbstractThis paper consists of some 15 pages of overhead transparencies used at the conference. These look at the impact on surveying of research into the properties of crude oil.

Development of a methodology to assess the impact of design performance parameters on offshore emergency management
AuthorsM N Lyons ; J E Strutt ; K Allsopp et al.
PublisherERA Technology Report
AbstractCranfield University has developed a Task Performance Resource Constraint (TPRC) model which provides a foundation for estimating the probability of success in emergency management tasks. The TPRC model concept is introduced. The way in which data from emergency management exercises can be used together with conceptual design data on parameters like intensity duration and escalation rate to assess the impact of design on successful emergency management is described with examples.

Dissolved gas and nuclei effects on tip vortex cavitation inception and cavitating core size
AuthorsS Gowing ; L Briancon-Marjollet ; D Frechou et al.
Date published1995
AbstractTip vortex cavitation on an elliptical NACA0020 foil is tested in the Grand Tunnel Hydrodynamic (GTH) in water with various dissolved gas and nuclei contents. The tunnel nuclei injection and filtering systems enable the dissolved gas and nuclei effects to be tested independently. Four different qualities of water are used in the GTH to study free nuclei and dissolved oxygen content effects on tip vortex cavitation inception. A novel imaging system has been developed to measure the cavitating vortex core size allowing quantification of the core growth from diffusion effects over time.

Effect of deluge on explosions: FLACS simulations compared to full-scale experiments
AuthorsK van Wingerden ; O Hansen ; P Foisselon et al.
Date published1998
AbstractA water deluge system that is activated on gas detection is a promising way of mitigating gas explosions. The effect of water spray on flame propagation in a congested environment is described and the way in which this scenario is modelled by the computational fluid dynamics tool FLACS is briefly considered. Two full-scale explosion experiments are compared with FLACS predictions. It was found that the agreement between experiment and prediction was better for a general area deluge than for a water curtain.

Effect of intake air condition on NOx emission from two-stroke marine diesel engine
AuthorsT Tsukamoto ; K Ohe ; H Okada
Date published1995
AbstractThe measurement of NOx emission from a two-stroke low-speed marine diesel engine was carried out changing the temperature and humidity of the scavenging air. Effects of scavenging air temperature and humidity on NOx emission are looked at on the basis of experimental results. The effect of room temperature is also studied using a comparison of the data gained in winter with the data obtained in summer. The experimental apparatus is reviewed and the experimental results are given.

Effects of mooring line dynamics on position keeping of a floating production system
AuthorsS Hong ; S Y Hong
Date published1997
AbstractA parametric study is conducted on the coupled dynamics of floating structure and its mooring system in order to investigate the effects of mooring lines damping on slow drift motion of floating vessel. The object of the parametric study is turret moored production system (TPS) with a tanker of 124400 ton. Firstly a look is taken at the simulation method covering equation of motion mooring line analysis contact model of mooring line and numerical integration method. After this the numerical simulations are discussed.

Electric Drives on Ships and Oil Platforms
AuthorsR Yacamini ; L Hu ; I D Stewart
Date published1992
AbstractThis paper examines the different types of drives found on offshore platforms and ships. Comparisons of voltage-fed and circuit-fed drives are discussed with the problems in defining operating conditions on d c drives. A power chart approach similar to that used for synchronous generator operation is introduced. Time domain models and the use of the Saber software package is described as well as the parameters which are required in the design of a successful ship or platform electrical system.

Experimental Investigation of a Model Jack-Up Unit on Clay
AuthorsG Vlahos ; C M Martin ; M J Cassidy
Date published2001
AbstractThis paper presents results from a series of 1-g experiments conducted on a scaled three-legged jack-up unit model equipped with spudcan footings on soft clay. The model rig is subjected to combined vertical and horizontal loads at the hull level resulting in combined vertical moment and horizontal loads at the footings. The physical tests explore the load redistribution among the spudcan footings hull and footing displacements at failure and ultimate system capacity. Experimental observation of rotational footing fixity is also emphasized.

Date published1998
AbstractThe paper presents preliminary results of a research program on fatigue crack growth in a low-carbon steel under a variable amplitude loading. First test results are reported on crack growth under simple loading sequences containing single and multiple tensile overloads applied periodically between smaller base-line constant amplitude cycles. Next the observed crack growth behavior is compared to predictions from a theoretical model developed by the authors.

FPSO verification schemes - experience on the UK continental shelf
AuthorsT Koliopulos ; W Winkworth
PublisherIBC Technical Services Ltd Energy Division
AbstractThe Verification Scheme is a process of hazard management to reduce risk by addressing the performance of critical systems which should be reviewed and revised as often as necessary to ensure their effectiveness. The objectives of FPSO (floating production storage and offloading units) verification are presented as well as issues to be addressed based on Lloyd's Register's experiences in providing services to meet legislative and project specific requirements. A structured approach is outlined for providing FPSO verification based on lessons learnt and client feedback.
