The main research topics of Ship Motion & Maneuvering Laboratory (SMML) are assessment of ship motion and maneuverability, stability and seakeeping quality of ship. Many different types of research studies are done by SMML. The main research area is listed in the table below.
Our laboratory has been carrying out with Mathematical modeling, Maneuvering calculation in wave, Estimating Auto-pilot system, Evaluating Maneuverability in principal design, Analysis of offshore structure stability in wave, Risk evaluation of ship dynamic stability in regular waves, and so on.
Research of ship maneuverability- Developing a maneuverability estimating program; Course-keeping quality, Turning ability, Yaw checking ability, Crash astern ability, VPMM (Vertical Planar Motion Mechanism) test for maneuvering simulation.
