With the development of exploring and utilizing ocean source, Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) which could finish autonomous mission process is paid more and more attention. As an artificial intelligence system, AUV has high independence, reliability and adaptability to ocean environment. An efficient architecture of AUV plays an important role in achieving those properties. A newly developed AUV, “ZT-AUV”, which is used for ocean exploring, is introduced. And its motion control system architecture is described. The architecture is divided into four parts including blackboard system, elemen

Hydro-aerodynamic mathematical model and multi-objective optimization of a popular wing-in-ground effect craft are presented in this research using a hydro-aerodynamic practical method and the genetic algorithm. The primary components of the wing-in-ground effect craft configuration include a compound wing, catamaran hull form and a power-augmented ram platform. The hydro-aerodynamic practical method with low computational time and high accuracy is performed by coupling hydrodynamic and aerodynamic considerations using the potential flow theory in ground effect and the semi-empirical equations

Abstract When under influence of an incident wave system, any freely floating body presents a general motion with all six degrees of freedom. The Instantaneous Center of Rotation, as defined in classical mechanics, is a concept that allows the description of a general motion in 6 degrees of freedom as a pure rotation around such point. This approach, although not widely used in ocean engineering, might be an alternative tool that allows fast and precise analysis in many cases.

Abstract:
A concept was developed by the Seabasing Innovation Cell within the Center for Innovation in Ship Design (CISD) at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD). The study was undertaken during February–May 2003 with funding provided by the Office of Naval Research (ONR). The concept was developed in summer 2003 with further CISD funding and has been chosen for the 2004 Senior Year Design, Build and Test project by Florida Atlantic University’s (FAU) Ocean Engineering Department. The concept, known as the Deep Water Stable Craneship (DWSC) consists of two entities, a catamaran c

Abstract:
A subsea Blowout Preventer system plays an extremely important role in providing safe working conditions for drilling activities in deepwater oil exploration. However, estimating the performance of Shear Ram Blowout Preventeris still a challenge for the industry. This paper considers different scenarios that may influence the shear capability of a typical subsea Blind Shearing Ram: the pipe size, ram shape, preload of pipe, off-center distance and tool joint of pipe. Element method analysis is conduct on the Abaqus software to calculate the maximum required shearing force for each scenario. Re

Abstract:
This paper presents a description of a new ship technology called the Mobil Ocean System. The Mobil Ocean System (RDIF) is a recently patented marine platform technology that is both high speed and very stable in open ocean conditions, (Patent No. 6,341,573 B1). The RDIF is configured as a transformable ship with an upper hull and lower catamaran hulls. The upper hull contains the habitability spaces, prime movers, and operational platform. The lower catamaran hulls are pivotal at each end; they separate at the center and swing down to form a spar hull configuration. The RDIF employs the princ
