    University essay from KTH/Marina system

    Author : Paul Kerdraon; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This master thesis is concerned with the design and optimisation of a dynamic velocity prediction programmefor high performance sailing yachts. The simulator uses response surfaces methods, maximising the computationaleciency. READ MORE

  3. 2. The Impact of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Constructions on Risk Level onboard Large Passenger Ships

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Anders Lynner; Josip Novacic; [2015]
    Keywords : Lightweight materials; fiber-reinforced polymer; FRP; fire safety; evacuation; ship; fire dynamics simulator; FDS; critical conditions; corridor; cabin; risk; Lättviktsmaterial; brandsäkerhet; utrymning; fartyg; kritiska förhållanden; korridor; kabin; risk.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The main objective of this project was to determine how a FRP composite structure performs compared to a steel structure in regard to fire safety and risk level during an evacuation. More specifically the objective was to study how the differences in the thermal properties influence the smoke layer height, visibility and the temperature of the gases in the early stages of a fire.

  4. 3. Swarm of UAVs: Search & Rescue Operationin Chaotic Ship Wakes

    University essay from KTH/Flygdynamik

    Author : Ehsan Ebrahimi-Oskoei; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A person falling of a ship can be difficult to locate since the wake behind the ship forms achaotic field, making it extremely difficult to predict the location of the victim even if thetime when they fell overboard is known. Survivability for humans immersed at sea is verydependent on the time spent in the water, and varies significantly with sea temperature; thismakes it imperative that the victim is retrieved rapidly.

  5. 4. Getting the Feeling : “Human Error” in an educational ship-handling simulator

    University essay from Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Marcus Arenius; [2010]
    Keywords : Human error; Resilience; Cognitive Couplings; Ship-handling simulator; maritime;

    Abstract : In high-risk environments of seafaring, simulators constitute a widely used tool in preparing nauticalstudents for the challenges to be met in real-life working situations. While the technical developmentof ship bridge simulators continues at a breathtaking pace, little is known on how developments fulfiltheir intended safety critical purpose during actual simulator training exercises.
