TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of the recent advances in the assessment of loads for ships and offshore structures with the aim to draw the overall technological landscape available for further understanding, validation and implementation by the academic and industrial communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Holistic ship design optimization
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a brief introduction to the holistic approach to ship design optimization, defines the generic ship optimization problem and demonstrates its solution by use of advanced optimization techniques for the computer-aided generation, exploration and selection of optimal designs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction of added resistance of ships in waves
TL;DR: A well established frequency domain 3D panel method and a new hybrid time domain Rankine source-Green function method of NTUA-SDL are used to solve the basic seakeeping problem and to calculate first order velocity potentials and the Kochin functions, as necessary for the calculation of the added resistance by Maruo's far-field method.
Book
Ship Design: Methodologies of Preliminary Design
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a regression analysis of basic ship design values for merchant ships and determine the ship's displacement with the Relational Method of Normand (RMRM).
Journal ArticleDOI
