ADAM4EVE workshop on Adaptive Ship Hull Forms June 4th, 2015 VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, Espoo
ADAM4EVE workshop on Adaptive Ship Hull Forms Materials for hull-form adaptation Dr Stephen Boyd University of Southampton
Introduction • Adaptive structures • Aerodynamics – the automotive industry • Hydrodynamics – the marine industry • What about scale? • Are structural and material solutions available?
Introduction • ADAM4EVE investigated the potential structural and material solutions for the large scale adaptation of ship hull-forms • Two primary modes of adaptation were identified: • Global • Local • The potential solutions were analysed through a simple SWOT analysis
Global adaptation • Positive influence of bulbous bow design on the resistance characteristics of ship hulls • Usually designed for single design speed or maybe a small range of speeds Global - Longitudinal change in bulbous bow Global - Girth change in bulbous bow Global - Vertical pivot of bulbous bow Maisonneuve, J.J., Harries, S., Marzi, J., Raven, H.C., Viviani, U., Piippo, H., Towards optimal design of ship hull shapes, Proc, of the 8th International Marine Design Conference, 2003.
Local Adaptation Local - Adaptable stern flap Local - Adaptable panel in bow or stern region Local - Adaptable Rudder/propeller

Bi-stable Composites • Finite element models of the influence of the high temperature curing provide theoretical deformation shapes • Material properties and physical dimensions are key
Bi-stable Composites Ansys STL file 3D scanned STL file Difference between numerical and scanned panels (mm)
