Detailed
description of topics:
-
A basic introduction is given with regard to
Advanced Marine Vehicles (AMV).
-
The basic principles of the different types of AMV's
are described and supplemented with data regarding recently built examples of these
vessels.
-
Different types of propulsion systems (i.e. high speed
diesel engines as well as gas turbines) are adequately dealt with in detail as well as the
possible types of propulsors used for AMV's (including surface-piercing propellers as well
as waterjets).
-
A basic introduction is given regarding the different
types of construction materials available for AMV's and aspects such as strength of
materials are also reviewed.
-
Hydrodynamic aspects related to the design of AMV's are
brought to the attention of the designer and conflicts between resistance and powering
demands on the one hand and vessel motion behaviour on the other hand are also
highlighted.
-
Safety aspects related to AMV's are dealt with along
with modes towards failure during the design and construction phase.
-
Design strategy of a number of AMV's are brought
forward and extensively dealt with.
-
Shipowners's requirements and economical appraisal of
an AMV system is reviewed along with present trends and expectations for AMV's.
