Abstract:

Both overseas trade and shipbuilding in India are of great antiquity. But even for the early modern period, maritime commerce is relatively better documented than the shipbuilding industry. When the Portuguese and later the North Europeans entered the intra-Asian trade, many of the ships they employed in order to supplement their shipping in Asia were obtained from the Indian dockyards. Detailed evidence with regard to shipbuilding, however, is very rare. It has been pointed out that the Portuguese in the sixteenth century were more particular than their North-European counter-parts in the following centuries in providing information on seafaring and shipbuilding. Shipbuilding on the west coast has been discussed more than that on the eastern coast of India, particularly the coast of Bengal. Though Bengal had a long tradition of shipbuilding, direct evidence of shipbuilding in the region is rare. Many changes were brought about in the history of India and the Indian Ocean trade of the eighteenth century, especially after the 1750s. When the English became the largest carriers of Bengal's trade with other parts of Asia, this had an impact on the shipbuilding in Bengal. It was in their interest that the British in Bengal had their ships built in that province.

Abstract:

The aim of this article is to explain the factors that underpinned the expansion of the Spanish shipbuilding industry during the Francoist regime, when it grew to rank fourth in the league of shipbuilding nations in the 1970s. After a brief description of the evolution of its output and markets, the article focuses on three aspects of shipbuilding: technology and costs; industrial structure and ship specialisation; and, above all, the strong government support that made this industry one of the symbols of the international success of the Franco’s new developmental policies.

Abstract:

Suriname’s pre-modern economy was entirely dependent on water transport. While shipbuilding in the colony itself was not encouraged by the directors of the Suriname Company (1683–1795) in Amsterdam there was a need to support the colony’s transoceanic, regional and local transport. This article finds that Suriname certainly had an infrastructure for shipbuilding and repair, but its existence has been neglected in the historiography. Since there is no literature on shipbuilding in colonial Suriname this article explores a wide variety of primary sources to piece together the various types of shipbuilding and repair conducted in the colony. We have found that there was a modest-sized barge wharf, as well as the production of small vessels on the plantations, and among the maroons and indigenous people in the interior. The colony furthermore procured ships on an ad hoc basis from the regional North American shipping connections with Suriname.

Abstract:

In the period of 1717-1736, the southern peninsular forests became a new resource frontier at the service of the Spanish Navy, in the context of the Bourbon Reforms. The timber supply for shipbuilding and maintenance of war fleets in Cádiz was made through four methods: direct administration by commissioned services; purchase from regional middlemen merchants; articulation between contractors and direct administration; articulation with the Royal Exchequer. The rhythm of supply was the reflex of different needs and constraints in three phases: maintenance of fleets during the period of consolidation of Cádiz as a naval and commercial center (1717-1727); the first shipbuilding series (1728-1731); the impact of the 30’s Mediterranean campaigns and the shipbuilding production of Ciprian Autran (1731-1736).

Abstract:

Indian shipbuilding has a long history in the maritime industry dating back to the origin of civilization. India's shipbuilding sector is primarily concentrated in its coastal regions. Due to capacity constraints and decreased shipbuilding prices in emerging nations, shipbuilding activities has changed. This has created fresh opportunities for the Indian shipbuilding industry. The prospects for the Indian shipbuilding sector are improved by rising global trade and strong need for modern boats. This study investigates the use of Predictive Maintenance as a Service on the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT-PdMaaS). Artificial intelligence (AI) in the maritime industry has numerous major benefits, including improved decision-making analysis, automation, security, route planning, and increased efficiency. So, Pd-MaaS using IIOT (Convolution neural network (CNN) with Ensemble Boosted Tree Classifier) framework was developed in this study. This research shows 88.3% accuracy of CNN output for confusion matrix implying a positive connection with our proposed model for Indian ship building industry

Abstract:

In the early 17th century Christian IV of Denmark created a highly impressive navy. This thesis investigates the uses to which the navy was put, and assesses the ships that were built to meet these needs. It shows that the Danish navy was for a time the largest state-owned navy in Europe and that the dockyard used to build and maintain these ships was one of the finest in Europe. The administration of the navy is analysed in detail. It is shown that the lower administration of the dockyards and the seagoing navy was highly organised, but Christian IV's failure to reform the higher levels of administration seriously hampered the effectiveness of the navy. The navy grew beyond the bounds of what the state of Denmark-Norway could afford and naval finance became a highly contentious issue in the modernisation of the state. To build the navy's ships Christian IV brought in master shipwrights from England and Scotland. The organisation of naval ship-building is examined in detail and the design of Danish warships is analysed. The Scot David Balfour is shown to be one of the most innovative and successful shipwrights of the early modern period. The figure of Christian IV dominates the Danish navy in the early 17th century. He was involved in all aspects of its organisation from its use as a political force to the design of specific vessels. He created a highly impressive navy in terms of ships and dockyards but failed to see that it also needed an efficient administration to operate effectively.

Abstract:

Empirically the central problematics addressed in this study are twofold. Firstly, an account was sought to explain the apparent retention of control over the division of labour by workers in the 1930's, and their apparent loss of this control in the 1980's. Secondly, the view of the British Shipbuilding Industry presented by those working within the labour process tradition is questioned. Such work, claiming general applicability, was often partial in its geographical focus, upon the Clyde and Tyne, and in its presentation of social action at the point of production, focusing on issues of change rather than routinisation, and on the activist account of labour within the workplace. In framing a largely non-activist account of the relationship between Capital and Labour on the wear from the 1930's to the 1980's it was important to develop an adequate theoretical framework. This task is addressed in Chapter One where the issue of the nature of structure and agency are dealt with, and an attempt is made to "unthink dualism" on the basis of a "receding ontology” of material determination. This theory is related to the labour process tradition which is demonstrated to be an unsatisfactory basis for the development of the empirical concerns. Rather, the concept of the employment relationship is shown to be a more satisfactory focus. On this basis the study looks at continuity and change within the industry and community on the Wear. Extraordinary episodes in the history of the industry, such as the employment of women during the Second World War, are detailed, as well as the more routine aspects of work in a shipyard. In relating these aspects to the wider community the debate engages with general accounts of the nature of the working class. The importance of a "cultural” perspective is developed throughout the work and control is seen to depend not only upon strategies of capital and labour, but also upon the development of moral legitimacy within relations of dominance and subordination.

Abstract:

The colonial contribution to the French naval shipbuilding industry in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, explored within the context of the forest from which the resources for the industry were taken, was a remarkably successful venture that came to an end with the onset of war. In the past, the end of the French naval shipbuilding industry in New France has been attributed to the action or inaction of France that resulted in the inefficient use of forest resources. Issues of interest in, organization or support of colonial efforts by France, however, were nevertheless, limited by the immutable realities of the colonial forest environment. This thesis argues that the success of the industry, considered within the appropriate context, is a consequence of colonial persistence in the face of constraints imposed by the colonial forest environment---despite these other significant issues.
The official correspondence, written by colonial officials in New France, record colonial efforts to supply France with timber and detail the development of a naval shipbuilding industry in the colony. These documents provide source material for a case study that demonstrates the constraints imposed by the colonial forests on the experience of colonists, timber suppliers and shipbuilders. The colonial forest was not the same as the forests in France. A simple transfer of knowledge and practice from one forest to another was insufficient to deal with the differences in climate, forest age, tree species and the extent to which human activity affected the different forests. These differences challenged the way in which colonists could use forest resources for their own needs, for export to France and for naval construction. To consider this use of resources, without considering the differences between the available materials in the colony and those available in France, is to look at the story removed from the setting in which it took place. The unique forest in the colony was the setting in which colonial shipbuilding took place. Any study of the development of this industry, or any other industry that relied on forest resources, must give consideration to the constraints and realities of that forest.

Abstract:

The part played by warshipbuilding in sustaining the Clyde shipbuilding industry between 1889 and 1939 has received less attention than it deserves. Only a minority of firms undertook warshipbuilding in peacetime but they included some of the leading shipyards an the Clyde. This study, based on a detailed examination of accounts and cost records, shows that naval work was of critical importance for these firms from the 1890's onwards. All of the firms which took advantage of the expansion in the demand for warships in the 1890's were in financial difficulties and profitable naval contracts were largely responsible for reviving their fortunes. From then until the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, naval work constituted a major part of their output and the most profitable part of it. By 19149 all of the warshipbuilders had expanded their capacity and provided expensive new facilities largely an the strength of the demand for warships and the three biggest yards were owned by armaments manufacturers who were primarily interested in shipyards for their warshipbuilding capability. After the war, the demand for armaments contracted and the warshipbuilders were faced with the problem of finding profitable employment for capacity designed for building warships and warship engines. This proved to be impossible and the relative dearth of naval contracts in the 1920's and early 1930's was the primary cause of the severe financial difficulties in which they found themselves when the onset of the world financial crisis in 1931 brought merchant shipbuilding to a standstill. Only Beardmore's succumbed but, had rearmament not been in the offing, it is doubtful if many of the warshipbuilding yards would have survived the ensuing crisis. As it was the survivors regained their financial stability by 1939 only because of the revival in the demand for warships.

Full text

Abstract:

This work presents a study of shipbuilding and timber management in the Royal Dockyards in the period 1750 – 1850, focusing on an archaeological investigation of ship timber marks. The first chapter outlines the concept of timber marking in shipbuilding contexts, stressing the multi-disciplinary approach to the study highlighted in the available archaeological and documentary evidence by which the practice of timber marking can be understood. Chapter two outlines the background to timber marking in the Georgian era and the development of the practice within the broader advances made in shipbuilding, technology and design prior to the end of the 17th century. Chapter three outlines the developments in shipbuilding and the introduction of systems to control and standardise the management of timber in the Royal Dockyards in the 18th century. In the latter half of the 18th century we will see the attempts of naval reformers to develop these systems of timber management and pave the way for the sweeping changes made at the beginning of the 19th century. Chapter four highlights these changes with the introduction of the Timber Masters and looks at the nature of timber management and the marking of timbers as identified in documentary sources. This evidence lays the foundation for the understanding of timber marking in the 19th century as witnessed in the archaeological record. The remaining chapters present the much more extensive archaeological evidence for timber marking among several high profile assemblages. The main assemblages presented in Chapters 5 to 9 show the diversity of timber marking practices and how they relate to the working processes of the Royal Dockyards. The research offers new insights into the understanding of shipbuilding and the management of timber in the Royal Dockyards between 1750 and 1850 and explores the possibilities for further avenues of study.

Full text

Abstract:

To face challenges associated with reduced shipbuilding budgets and the need for increased material availability, the Machine Readable Material Transaction was proposed, accepted and is currently in development at Ingalls Shipbuilding. Machine Readable Material Transaction is the processes and tools required to provide a machine readable identification (i.e. license plate) and scanning capability for tracking and identifying individual items, containers of material, and loose materials at various locations and workflows throughout the shipyard. The effort facilitates: * reduced cycle time of material transactions by moving from paper driven processes to electronic driven processes * increased accuracy by minimizing the manual entry of material transaction data by utilizing scanning technology and bar-coding * reduced re-buys by locating lost, damaged or cannibalized material * retention of material identification and history during consumption by capturing: * “what” is the material * “when” was it received or last moved * “where” was its last known location * “why” was it moved, and * “who” was the last person to touch it The purpose of the effort is to ensure visibility, traceability, and accountability for material (purchased and fabricated) from receipt through delivery to the end user. This paper discusses the use of these processes and tools to support U.S. Navy ship construction modernization and cost reduction goals at Ingalls Shipbuilding.

Abstract:

The Arleigh Burke guided missile destroyer program (DDG 51) represents the largest ship class in the US Navy. The DDG 51 Land Based Engineering Site (LBES) is a test complex that was built to provide & demonstrate a stable level of operational effectiveness and suitability for mobility and support systems during ship construction and fleet introduction of the class. Integrated systems testing on the LBES proved to be paramount in the success of the overall shipbuilding program as technical risks discovered in Philadelphia were able to be solved with a mix of hardware and computer program changes prior to shipbuilder trials or sailaway. This success in risk/cost avoidance also led to program office investment in LBES upgrades such as Flight IIA DDGs, multi-year option class changes, and DDG midlife/modernization changes that are still proving to carry very high cost avoidance and return on investment. LBES has also afforded several indirect benefits such as navy crew training, the genesis of DDG 51 class distant support, and equipment or system vendor ECP testing. Most recently LBES has been used for the navy’s Great Green Fleet R&D proof of concept testing (e.g. biofuel in 2010 and hybrid electric drive in 2011–12). This article will describe the DDG 51 LBES contribution to one of the most successful ship acquisition programs in U.S. naval history.

Full text

Abstract:

In ancient times, the Mediterranean was a shipbuilding centre of the world; port activities in larger bays and harbours along the Adriatic coast had been developing since prehistory. Remains of ancient ports found along the Adriatic coast testify to the rich history of this area. The paper analyses development of ports of local importance in the area of the town of Zadar. Currently, there are six ports classified as ports of local importance in Zadar area. The aim of the paper is to emphasize the development potentials of these ports. The paper begins with a review of relevant legal frameworks, followed by a detailed analysis of the current situation in each of these six ports. The analysis was focused on locational, navigational and meteorological conditions, berthing equipment, as well as facilities available in ports. The paper gives a comprehensive overview of the current state and development potentials of the mentioned ports, offering concrete guidelines for achieving sustainable and prosperous development. For the purpose of data collection, a field research was conducted in port areas. The research included gathering data on weather conditions, tides, wind directions, as well as interviews with local population in order to include their needs in the research. Additionally, depth measurements along the coasts of the ports were taken since precise data did not exist. A drone was used to gather visual documentation. Based on the conducted analysis, development direction and potential limitations have been identified for each port. The suggested development strategies include infrastructure improvement, equipment modernization, technological advancement, and implementation of sustainable solutions for waste management and environmental protection. It has been concluded that development challenges these ports are facing with refer to navigation safety, the condition of infrastructure and environmental standards. Common limitations and challenges in the development of analysed ports indicate the need for significant infrastructure modernisation and adherence to environmental standards. Planning, a strategic approach to development and collaboration with the local community are crucial for overcoming these challenges.

Abstract:

The shipbuilding industry is approaching a historic crossroads. The demand for new and more capable ships is surging while a wave of retirements and operational obsolescence will place enormous challenges on shipbuilders around the world. However, recent performance setbacks in the form of protracted delays in delivery of new ships that were over budget and not compliant with essential requirements clearly confirmed that the industry must do better. At the same time, increased fleet operations are placing significant pressure on fleet maintenance budgets to achieve expected fleet availability metrics within the bounds of available resources. The challenges that these conditions are placing on the shipbuilding industry prompted a group of industry and government leaders in the USA to have the first Global Shipbuilding Executive Summit in 2010 that was jointly sponsored by the American Society of Naval Engineers and Siemens PLM Software. Based on the view that Public Private Partnerships are best suited to deal with such broad systematic issues, a group of like-minded leaders came together to focus on solutions to the top shipbuilding industries challenges. The summit began with introductory comments by prominent shipbuilding leaders from both the USA and Europe. The European perspective was a very important and challenging viewpoint on how leading shipyards are addressing similar challenges and moreover competing in the export market for high performance vessels. Then close to 100 executives spent several hours developing a set of specific recommendations to improve industry performance and productivity.

Abstract:

Abstract Elastomers are now commonly used in a number of industries, including aerospace, structure, transportation, shipbuilding, and automotive, due to their excellent workability, formability, and flexibility. During their activity, elastomers are subjected to harsh environmental conditions, which decreases their resilience. False predictions made early in their lives can have major financial and environmental implications. Elastomers’ performance and properties, such as strength, durability, and density, are influenced by chemical changes in these materials, known as degradation, which occurs over time. This process can alter the morphology of a polymer matrix as well as cause chain scission and cross-linking, resulting in different behaviors than that of the unaged material. To demonstrate the effect of thermaloxidative aging on the mechanical behavior of elastomers, several experimental and theoretical models have been proposed. In view of the large volume of experimental data available on micro-structural evolution in the course of aging, we propose a physics-based data-driven approach to overcome the shortcomings of both phenomenological and micro-mechanical models. This work presents a novel thermodynamically consistent, multiagent machine-learned model for predicting the constitutive behavior of cross-linked elastomers during environmental aging, such as thermo-oxidative and hydrolytic aging for various states of deformation. Single mechanism degradation changes the polymer matrix over time where it is causing chain scission, reduction of cross-links, and morphology change. To capture the idealized Mullins effect and permanent set due to the effect of single aging mechanisms on nonlinear mechanical responses of elastomers, we propose a data-driven model for simulating inelastic elements in a polymer matrix. By using a sequential order reduction, we were able to reduce the 3D stress-strain tensor mapping problem to a small number of super-constrained 1D mapping problems. To systematically classify such mapping problems into a few categories, an assembly of multiple replicated conditional neural network learning agents (L-agents) is used based on our recent work. Each category is represented by a different type of agent. The effect of deformation history, aging time, and aging temperature is captured by this model. The model is validated using a broad collection of data, ranging from our experimental results to data from the literature. In addition, thermodynamic consistency and frame independence are investigated. The most significant achievements of this model are its precision, simplicity, and prediction of inelasticity under various states of deformation. The model’s accuracy and simplicity make it a good option for commercial and industrial applications. Conveniently, due to the model modular nature, it can be expanded in the future to include viscoelasticity and non-isotropic formation for better precision.
