The prediction of the comfort level on board yachts in their early design stage is the present challenge for designers. This can be achieved by using calculation methodologies suitable to predict the dynamic behaviour of the unit in terms of vibration and noise. In the design stage, the most used approach is a finite element (FE) analysis...

The comfort level on board superyachts depends on a variety of parameters all dealing with the human perception of various phenomena such vibrations, noise, ship motions and son on. In this work, the attention has been strictly devoted to vibrations and on possible solutions to reduce them. This kind of analysis is a challenging task for...

High performance sailing yachts are generally designed assuming high local and global loads transmitted by rigs to hull structures. The above-mentioned loading conditions can become critical for large hulls also in terms of displacements when composite materials are used. In this scenario, it is very important to use lightweight and...

Comfort levels on modern superyachts have recently been the object of specific attention of the most important Classification Societies, which issued new rules and regulations for evaluating noise and vibration maximum levels. These rules are named "Comfort Class Rules" and set the general criteria for noise and vibration measurements in...

The construction of Wind Farm Support Vessels (WFSV) can be considered as one of the most dynamic industrial sector of the last 10 years in Europe and U.S.; at the time being it can count more than 400 vessels working in the only European sea fields. WFSV-PL is a 25m catamaran prototype completely designed by a Polish-Italian team, built with...
