Numerical Study of the Effect of Angle and Location of the First and Second Steps on the Performance of Planing Hull and Their Optimization Using the Taguchi Statistical Method

Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Providing steps at the bottom of a high‐speed craft could decrease the resistance and enhance the longitudinal stability by dividing a single pressure hump into several ones and extending the hydrodynamic pressure towards aft of the vessel. In the present paper, the effects of the fore and aft steps’ locations and angles on double‐stepped hulls are ...

Expediting recovery of autonomous underwater vehicles in dynamic mission environments: A system‐of‐systems challenge for underwater warfare

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 39, Issue 8, Page 1323-1340, December 2022., 2022
Abstract As autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) adoption increases, operators demand advanced behaviors from commercial off‐the‐shelf systems. However, new behaviors can often only be deployed operationally once assured. This paper overviews research into expediting recovery to an operator's vessel through a custom homing behavior, demonstrating ...

Autonomous hanging tether management and experimentation for an unmanned air‐surface vehicle team

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 39, Issue 6, Page 869-887, September 2022., 2022
Abstract The mission of an unmanned air vehicle (UAV) tethered to a small unmanned surface vehicle (USV) is considered. As opposed to the majority of existing tethered UAV work, which assumes a taut tether, this paper addresses the challenge of tether management for a slack, hanging tether in a dynamic ocean environment up to sea state 4 on the Douglas

Modal Investigation on a Large‐Scale Containership Model for Hydroelastic Analysis

Shock and Vibration, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
A 20,000 TEU containership with an overall length of about 400 m is designed as a target ship to investigate ship hydroelastic characteristics in the joint industry project (JIP) of CSSRC‐20,000 TEU. A set of systematic model tests are carried out in the seakeeping wave basin of CSSRC.

Risk Spatial Distribution and Fluctuation Mechanism of Ship Traffic System Based on Catastrophe Control and Intelligent Sensor

Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Navigation control system is an important navigation building of inland‐river in China. Because of its special semiclosed structure, when the efficiency of the mutation control system is low, the ship system cannot identify the ship, which may endanger the life safety of the crew and cause water traffic accidents.

A Fully Coupled Time‐Domain BEM‐FEM Method for the Prediction of Symmetric Hydroelastic Responses of Ships with Forward Speed

Shock and Vibration, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
This paper presents a direct time‐domain method for the prediction of symmetric hydroelastic responses of ships progressing with forward speed in small amplitude waves. A transient time‐domain free surface Green function is used for the idealisation of the seakeeping problem using an Earth fixed coordinate system.

Discrete Wavelet Transform‐based Approach of Real‐time Wave Filtering for Dynamic Positioning of Marine Vessels

Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
The ongoing development of deep‐sea resources has contributed toward the widespread use of dynamic positioning (DP) systems that can operate in arbitrary sea areas without the limitation of operating water depth compared to mooring systems. The second‐order slowly varying forces can be compensated by DP feedback control.

Improved composite adaptive fault‐tolerant control for dynamic positioning vehicle subject to the dead‐zone nonlinearity

IET Control Theory &Applications, Volume 15, Issue 16, Page 2067-2080, November 2021., 2021
Abstract In order to tackle the marine practical constraints, for example the actuator faults, the dead‐zone input, an improved composite adaptive neural control algorithm is proposed for dynamic positioning vehicles in presence of the unknown external disturbances. In the algorithm, the robust neural damping technique is employed to remodel the system

Research on Ship Meteorological Route Based on A‐Star Algorithm

Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Ship meteorological navigation is based on hydrometeorological data of a certain time scale, considering the ship’s motion characteristics and its own characteristics. First, we provide the best route for the ship and then use real‐time local weather information to correct the route during the ship’s navigation.
