6. Active Suspension Seat for High Speed Craft
University essay from KTH/Marina systemAbstract : Master of Science thesis in Naval Architecture presents a study and the performance of an active seat suspension with the purpose to suppress shocks, caused by slamming in High Speed Crafts (HSCs). The system is modelled and simulated with the aid of the Mathworks software Simulink, with the main objective to evaluate if the active suspension seat has the potential to mitigate slamming impact loads to a larger extent compared to a passive suspension seat.

7. Examination and Design of Propeller Configurations foran Electrically Powered Hydrofoil Vehicle
University essay from KTH/Marina systemAbstract : The thesis examines propeller configurations for the propulsion system for the water mode in the amphibious craft concept Newt, which also includes contra-rotating propellers. Newt is a research project on innovative commuter vehicles carried out by the naval architecture department at KTH. READ MORE

8. Benchmark Testing of Spray Deflection Technologies for High-Speed Planing Craft
University essay from KTH/Marina systemAbstract : High-speed planing craft is designed to overcome conventional hull’s speed barrier associated with wave making resistance and high frictional forces. Despite being able to reach high speeds, some planing hull forms will develop large volumes of spray attached to the hull surface, which can account for a large proportion of the total resistance.

9. Experimental Setup for Validating Simulated Local Structure Responses for High-speed Craft in Waves
University essay from KTH/Marina systemAbstract : Using scantling codes such as DNV or ISO for designing high speed craft has been a routine for many constructors. However, the validity of these design methods are to be questioned, especially when dealing with modern material concepts and structural layouts, since they are based on data from ships designed in the 1960ies and 1970ies using semi-empirical methods containing substantial uncertainties and limitations.

10. Design of an adjustable centre console system for an 8m highspeedcraft with fatigue analysis of critical mechanisms
University essay from KTH/Marina systemAbstract : Today, ergonomic adjusting capabilities are lacking on centre consoles of small high-speed crafts with respect to the crew height. The centre consoles are normally constructed to fit the mean height of the operators to cover as many end users as possible. Issues might therefore arise for the operators who deviate from the mean height. READ MORE
