‘These notes will serve as the backbone for the USNA Naval Architecture and Marine En-
ginecring major course, EN455 ~ Seakceping and Mancuvering. These notes will be pulling
from many resources, but as none of the single resources gave the information or organization
desired for the elass, I have combined all into a handy package! The course consists of 2/3"
seakeeping material and 1/3" maneuvering. In other words, Chapters 1 through 5 focus on
seakeeping topics and Chapters 6 and 7 delve into maneuvering. The seakeeping portion
starts with an explanation of what seakeeping is, describes wave excitations that create ship
motions, reviews how rigid bodies respond to a force (specifically a harmonie force), and then
discusses how we can use that knowledge to predict ship performances s. The manuev-
ering portion of the text discusses different types of maneuvering concerns, the equations
for predicting linearized maneuvering motions, experimental investigations into maneuvering
characteristies, directional stability, turning ability, and rudder design considerations.
The following is a list of the main resources of information used for the seakeeping
material:
in wa
1. Principles of Naval Architecture, Vol. III - editor Edward Lewis (1989)
2. Seakeeping: Ship Behaviour in Rough Weather — A.R.J.M Lloyd (1998)
3
4
Dynamics of Marine Vehicles
R. Bhattacharyya (1978)
Course notes from the United States Coast Guard Academy
5. Introduction to Naval Architecture — Gillmer and Johnson (1985)
‘There is less information available on the topic of maneuvering, so the main resource for
‘that material is’
1. Principles of Naval Architecture, Vol. III - editor Edward Lewis (1989)
This course is an undergraduate experience of seakeoping and mancuvering, so much
of the learning is done through hands-on, laboratory experiences. Most sections of the
book include at least one lab experience and corresponding assignment. The objectives
listed at the beginning of each chapter include the information in the course notes, but also
material covered from completing the labs. Typical assignments in the class include giving
the information stated in the course objectives, conducting experiments and analyzing the
data, and writing lab reports (fun!)
I hope these notes make the material interesting and help you understand the important
factors affecting the seakeeping and maneuvering aspects of ship design. At the very least,
Thope to make the course more organized!
‘Thank you for your time,
Professor Carolyn Judge
