The paper describes the preliminary ship design method using deterministic approach and probabilistic approach. In deterministic approach, there are computational aspects to applying not only the integration concurrently of principal dimension decisions and hull form variations but also hydrostatic coefficients that applied to optimization iterative process. Therefore, this paper developed that actual design concept at the preliminary ship design more than sequential design which separated in principal dimension decisions and hull form variations. Furthermore, a probabilistic approach at the preliminary ship design is applied to efficiently solve design information uncertainty that compared to deterministic approach.

Manufacturing of complex surface plates in stern and stem is a major factor in cost of a preliminary ship design by computing process. If these hull plate parts are effectively classified, it helps to compute the processing cost and find the way to cut-down the processing cost. This paper presents a new method to classify surface plates effectively in the preliminary ship design using neural network. A neural-network-based ship hull plate classification program was developed and tested for the automatic classification of ship design. The input variables are regarded as Gaussian curvature distributions on the plate. Various applicable rules of network topology are applied in the ship design. In automation of hull plate classification, two different numbers of input variables are used. By observing the results of the proposed method, the effectiveness of the proposed method is discussed. As a result, high prediction rate was achieved in the ship design. Accordingly, to the initial design stage, the ship hull plate classification program can be used to predict the ship production cost. And the proposed method will contribute to reduce the production cost of ship.

It is usual practice to ballast a sip to maintain requires operational safety at sea. However, excessive ballasting may reduce the operational economy of a ship. Therefore, The determination of the optimal location and quantity of ballast water is one of the important works at the preliminary design stage. To provide a convenient tool to ship designers the program for the determination of the optimal location and program the effect of the change of ballast water quantity in each tank on some characteristics of a ship, such as trim, initial stability and heel, is investigated and the minimum quantity of ballast water for each tank which satisfies the operational safety requirements is calculated.

In this study, we carried out a precedent investigation for an ultra-large container ship, which is expected to be a higher value-added vessel. We studied a preliminary optimized design technique for estimating the principal dimensions of an ultra-large container ship. Above all, we have developed optimized dimension estimation models to reduce the building costs and weight, using previous container ships in shipbuilding yards. We also applied a generalized estimation model to estimate the shipping service costs. A Genetic Algorithm, which utilized the RFR (required freight rate) of a container ship as a fitness value, was used in the optimization technique. We could handle uncertainties in the shipping service environment using a Monte-Carlo simulation. We used several processes to verify the estimated dimensions of an ultra-large container ship. We roughly determined the general arrangement of an ultra-large container ship up to 1500 TEU, the capacity check of loading containers, the weight estimation, and so on. Through these processes, we evaluated the possibility for the practical application of the preliminary design model.

A PSWATH is a computer program for the determination of principal particulars of Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull (SWATH) Ship design at the preliminary design stage. This paper describes the PSWATH system and the underlying theory. The major calculation modules are hull definition, resistance and propulsion, weight estimation and pitch stability analysis. Use of the model is illustrated by input, output and means of examples.

The preliminary ship design step is made into a non-linear programming(NLP) problem. And using SUMT-exterior method and Hook Jeeves pattern search, the optimum ship characteristics are determined for the case where the ship is built in Korea and is operated by Koreans. Three programs for bulk carrier, tanker, and container ship are constructed and several sensitivity tests are performed. The result has little difference from the results of the other papers, but for high interest rate of return, slightly larger and faster ship is superior, and for low labour costs, slightly smaller and slower ship is superior.

Accurate weight prediction methods are an essential of the ship design in both ship cost managements and performance satisfactions. When no parent or similar ships are available, an adequate method of the ship weight estimating is required. In this study, there was carried out to develop the ship weight estimating method for the preliminary design phase. The weight estimating methods were first surveyed by the references and summarized their characteristics. The weight estimation method by statistical approach was developed for the container ship because the containerized transportation markets is gradually growing and ship's size and loading capacity are rapidly enlarged. The correlation analysis and the multiple regression analysis were used for developing the weight estimating method. As a results of evaluating the developed method, the error ratio of the variation between estimated weight and ship's data was about 5%. And it was only 1% difference with the calculating weight of conceptual design results by shipyard design team that the estimating weight of ultra-large container ship was predicted by the developed method.

동시공학개념이 최적화의 개념과 함께 대두되면서 최적화 적용을 위한 많은 노력들이 실제 설계 문제에 적용되어 왔다. 하지만 최적화가 적용될 수 있는 설계 문제들은 확대되었지만 선박 설계과정은 모든 관련된 설계 작업들의 전산적인 통합의 어려움으로 인해 많은 부분들이 여전히 반복적인 접근 방법에 의존되고 있다. 이러한 접근 방법은 전체 설계 문제를 쉽게 다룰 수 있는 많은 하위 문제로 분해한 후 많은 다른 팀에 의해 복잡한 내부 상호작용 통해 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문은 이러한 실제 선박 설계 초기과정에 대해 초점을 맞추고 있다. 본 논문에서는 워크플로우(workflow) 기반 설계 프로세스 관리 시스템 구축을 위한 첫 단계로서, 프로세스 중심의 통합 프레임워크를 제안한다. 이 프레임워크는 크게, 관리자가 설계 진행 상황을 모니터링하고 관리할 수 있는 부분과 설계자가 설계 워크플로우를 따라 효과적으로 설계 업무를 수행할 수 있는 설계 업무 관리 부분으로 나뉘어진다. 전체 시스템은 그 관리 대상에 따라 여러 개의 모듈로 나뉘어지고, 그 모듈간에는 전체 시스템의 기능 달성을 위해 합리적인 상호작용이 이루어질 수 있도록 설계되었다. 설계 프로세스 모델은 실제 선박설계 현실의 분석을 통해 최대한 합리적이고 적용 가능한 모델이 괼 수 있도록 제안되었다. 제안된 프레임워크는 상용 워크플로우 시스템을 통해 실제로 구현될 예정이다.
