Abstract

A method is presented for designing a ship hull form for optimal seakeeping performance. The problem is approached as a constrained optimization problem amenable to solution by a nonlinear programming technique in which a set of hull geometries are taken as design variables and the weighted mean of maximum waves acceptable to a specified criteria are taken as an index of performance.
