Discussion: EXPERIMENTAL AND NUMERICAL MODAL ANALYSIS OF COMPOSITE LAMINATED SHELLS WITH CUT-OUT - Copy
Transactions
How do cutouts affect the performance of laminated composite shells in demanding marine and aerospace environments? Combining laboratory resin-infusion manufacturing, free-vibration testing and validated numerical simulation, researchers revealed key dynamic behaviour patterns. Advanced mass-matrix modelling with rotary inertia and modal assurance verification offers insights for more reliable, maintainable structural designs.
THE RE-DESIGN OF A MARINE ENGINE ROOM SIMULATOR IN CONSIDERATION TO ERGONOMICS DESIGN PRINCIPLES - Copy
Transactions
How can simulator design influence engineering competence? By applying ergonomic principles to a full-mission engine room simulator, a redesigned mimic panel improved realism, usability and training effectiveness. The experience highlights how human-centred design can enhance operational learning environments and strengthen the quality of marine engineering education and professional preparedness.
STATIC CONTROL OF DRAG-REDUCING AIR CAVITIES WITH VARIABLE CAVITATOR SHAPE - Copy
Transactions
Air-cavity drag reduction is moving closer to practical deployment through research linking cavity performance to controllable hydrodynamic actuators and wedge-shaped cavitators. Using potential-flow modelling, new insights into optimal operating conditions reveal how flow speed and hull trim influence efficiency gains, supporting more energy-efficient ship designs.
