Multiple‐Objective Optimization in Naval Ship Design

Abstract

This paper presents an optimization methodology that includes three important components necessary for a systematic approach to naval ship concept design. These are: ▪ An efficient and effective search of design space for non‐dominated designs▪ Well‐defined and quantitative measures of objective attributes▪ An effective format to describe the design space and to present non‐dominated concepts for rational selection by the customer. A Multiple‐Objective Genetic Optimization (MOGO) is used to search design parameter space and identify non‐dominated design concepts based on life cycle cost and mission effectiveness. A non‐dominated frontier and selected generations of feasible designs are used to present results to the customer for selection of preferred alternatives. A naval ship design application is presented.

Parametric design and multi-objective optimisation of containerships

“…In recent years, several authors have presented significant CAD methodologies dealing with ship design process and inherently its optimisation (Brown, 2003, Campana et al, 2009, Mizine, 2010. A common characteristic of most of the earlier presented works is that they are dealing with specific aspects of ship design or with new system approaches to the design process.…”

Parametric Design and Multiobjective Optimization of Containerships

“…In recent years, several authors have presented significant computer-aided design (CAD) methodologies dealing with the ship design process and inherently its optimization (Brown & Salcedo 2003;Campana et al 2009;Mizine & Wintersteen 2010). A common characteristic of most of the earlier presented works is that they dealt with specific aspects of ship design (e.g., hydrodynamics, strength) or with new system approaches to the design process.…”

Efficiency Estimation of Specialized Multifunctional Ships at Optimal Designing

“…For a country with highly limited resources, it will be rather challenging to meet these requirements. The problems with ship construction optimization were well covered by Deschamps and Trumbule (2004), Bertram et al (2005), cost reduction during the construction phase was best explained by Caprace J.D., Rigo P., cost reduction during the ship lifecycle by US Defence Systems Management College Acquisition Logistics Guide 1997 and Brown and Salcedo (2003), Landamore et al, (2007).…”
