Course
Description:
This
course provides a basic understanding of the
fundamentals of ship motion theory and current
practice in the development of seakeeping predictions.
Students will gain the ability to develop or
assess seakeeping performance requirements,
and to carry out seakeeping predictions for
a given design. The course will cover regular
and irregular waves, superposition, wave spectra,
wave, wave statistics, the relationship of wind
and sea state, swells, fetch and duration limits,
the availability of wave data; prediction of
hydrodynamic forces using linear ship motion
theory; prediction of vessel response; vessel
response measurement using model tests and full-scale
trials; performance criteria, including seakeeping
performance indices and motion sickness incidence;
existing tools and their limitations; added
resistance, mean and slowly-varying forces,
hydrodynamic interactions among vessels, and
motion control. New material on fatigue analysis
will be presented.
The
course lecturer is Dr. Edward M. Lewandowski,
Senior Principal Scientist, BMT Designers and
Planners, Inc.
The
course is equivalent to 7 PDH or 0.7 CEU

Course
Description:
The
course on Ship Arrangements will present an
introduction to basic ship arrangements for
naval and commercial ships from feasibility
to detailed design. Topics to be covered include
regulatory requirements (ABS, DNV, U.S. Navy,
MSC), customer requirements, and human factors
considerations. Habitability standards will
also be reviewed for naval and commercial ships.
Ship arrangements for novel hull forms (catamaran,
trimaran, SWATH, SES, planning hull, tumblehome
monohull) will be addressed. The U.S. Navy’s
Space Classification System will be discussed,
along with a discussion of the current standard.
The
presenter, H. David Kaysen, has 35 years of
experience with designing surface ships, craft,
and floating structures for naval, scientific,
and commercial applications.
The
course is equivalent to 7 PDH or 0.7 CEU anticipated
COURSE
3 - Sailing Yacht Performance Analysis
9:00 am – 5:00 pm
Crystal Ballroom IV (hotel)

Course
Description:
This
course is based on a senior-level class offered
at the University of Michigan in the Department
of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering.
The material will focus on different analyses
of the forces that act on a sailing yacht. The
topics that are to be covered include the forces
and moments on a sailing yacht, airfoil theory,
keel and rudder design, sail design, model testing,
and the use of computers in yacht performance
analysis.
Material
in the course will draw heavily on the textbook:
LARSSON, LARS, AND ROLF E. ELIASSON. 2007. Principles
of Yacht Design.
Camden, Maine: International. Marine McGraw-Hill,
3rd Ed.
Participants
are strongly encouraged to obtain the text before
the class meets.
At the end of the course, a spreadsheet-based
velocity prediction program will be introduced
and distributed to the participants. During
the course, each component of the velocity prediction
program will be explained so that the user will
have an understanding of how a polar velocity
diagram is created for a yacht.
The
lecturers will be Dr. Robert F. Beck and Dr.
Kevin Maki, both members of the faculty at the
University of Michigan.

course is equivalent to 7 PDH or 0.7 CEU anticipated
