The paper presents an approach for time-domain simulation of structure responses, along with hydromechanic and structure inertia loads and motions responses, for high-speed planing craft in waves. Hydromechanic loads and motion responses are calculated with a non-linear time-domain strip method. A pressure shape function is introduced which enables...

The rules and regulations inherent to the design pressures and scantlings of high-speed powercrafts are numerous, and regularly reviewed. Recently, the new ISO 12215-5:2019 made notable changes to the way high-speed crafts are analysed, including extending the acceleration experienced up to 8 g in certain circumstances. Nevertheless, despite the mu...

The modelling of planing craft dynamics in waves and related fluid-structure interaction is a hard challenge due to the highly nonlinear, transient and stochastic nature of the whole process. This paper explores the prospectives of detailed experimental modelling of the local structure responses for high-speed planing craft in waves. A novel experi...

An effort to update the CDIO Standards from version 2.1 to 3.0 was started in 2017 (Malmqvist et al., 2017) and further outlined in 2019 (Malmqvist et at., 2019). The aims were to incorporate external changes to the context of engineering education, to address the critique that had been raised against earlier versions of the standards, and to estab...

In Naval Architecture, the concept of “stability” has a very wide meaning, embracing ship stability fundamentals with ship dynamics and ultimately ship safety. As such, the subject is of paramount importance for its wide implications on design and operation of ships and floating units. Research in this field has, therefore, an important impact on t...

Guaranteeing a sufficient level of safety from the point of view of stability is typically considered to be a matter of design. However, it is impossible to ensure safety only by design measures, and operational measures can then represent a complementary tool for efficiently and cost-effectively increasing the overall safety of the vessel. Time co...

Sandwich materials are more frequently used in high speed craft and ferries. The motivation is reduced weight and associated operational cost. The hull structure in these vessels is subjected to repeated (fatigue) slamming loads (high strain rate loading). Scantling societies treat sandwich materials differently in their design rules. In common red...
