PhD. Thesis
Title: Production-Oriented Structural Design of Ships: with particular application to inland waterways vessels.
My PhD work involved with developing an integrated model for optimum design of ship structures. The model was based on a newly developed Multi-level and multiple criteria optimization approach. The model included options for using design rules of a leading classification society, idealized analysis methods and finite element analysis to ensure adequate safety and reliability of the designed structures. The search for the best design was extended to explore different panel forms (tee stiffened, flat-bar stiffened, corrugated) and different frame layouts (without or with centre girders, without or with pillars, without or with struts, etc.). Design objectives were set to minimum weight, minimum cost, or combination of both under conflicting requirements. The thesis and subsquent publications have demonstrated the capability, versatility and efficiency of the developed model in details.
