The journal International Shipbuilding Progress (ISP) was founded in 1954. Each year two issues appear (in March and September). Publications submitted to ISP should describe scientific work of high international standards, advancing subjects related to the field of Marine Technology, such as:

  • - Concept development
    - General design of ships and offshore objects
    - Ship and offshore structural design
    - Hydro-mechanics and -dynamics
    - Maritime engineering and machinery systems
    - Production processes of all types of ships and other objects intended for marine use
    - Production technology and material science
    - Shipping science, economics, and all directly related subjects
    - Ship operations
    - Offshore and ocean engineering in relation to the marine environment
    - Marine safety
    - Efficiency, lifecycle, and  environment
    - Ice-related aspects for ships and offshore objects.

  • The contents of the papers may be of a fundamental or of an applied scientific nature and must be of the highest novelty and rigor.

Experiments and interpretation of propeller vibratory hull pressures on an elastic structure of a shipmodel

Authors: Wereldsma, R.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: In this paper an outline is given of the fundamentals of measurements on hydroelastic structures. In particular the difficulties as encountered in hull pressure measurements on a shipmodel are reported. An estimate is made of the errors that may occur in the model measurement of propeller excited vibratory hull pressures and a method is given to correct the measured quantities, influenced by the elastic response of the hull of the model, by means of a dynamic calibration.

Self-tuning adaptive control of large ships in non-stationary conditions

Authors: Brink, A.W. | Tiano, A.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: This paper describes a simulation study on the self-tuning adaptive control of a supertanker and a 2nd generation containership. The simulation covers the main operational navigation situations, i.e. course keeping and course changing in stationary as well as non-stationary conditions. The design of the adaptive autopilot is obtained by application of an extended self-tuning controller which minimizes a preset cost function, whose form depends on the operational situation and on the environmental conditions. The way the non-stationary conditions can be taken into account is discussed. For each type of ship a large number of runs were carried out. The results … Show more
