YACHT DESIGN

Il modulo ha l'obiettivo di mettere a sistema le esperienze maturate nei precedenti anni di studio tramite un progetto complesso. Per questa esperienza di ultimo anno viene affrontato e sviluppato il tema dell'imbarcazione oltre i 24 metri, classificata dalle norme CE come nave da diporto. Un'imbarcazione di taglia adeguata progettata secondo i requisiti più aggiornati in termini di ergonomia, impianti, materiali, sostenibilità.

Disegno Industriale 3-1 fa parte del Laboratorio di Design 3 che è composto da due moduli contigui e mutuati con il Corso di Laurea Magistrale in YACHT DESIGN (codice 11958, erogato in Inglese). I due moduli sono integrati fra loro in modo da fornire le competenze progettuali proprie del designer navale e nautico in relazione a casi studio orientati alle navi da diporto e alle navi passeggeri da crociera. Il percorso di progetto si basa sulla definizione della composizione degli interni e della definizione degli esterni coerenti con la destinazione d’uso e con la tecnologia costruttiva e propulsiva adottata. Disegno Industriale 3-1 si sviluppa sulla base teorica di proporzionamento degli elementi costitutivi, sull’osservazione e lo studio dello stato dell’arte e sull’applicazione progettuale praticata da gruppi di lavoro precostituiti. I moduli di Disegno Industriale 3-1 e di Industrial Design 3-2 distinguono i rispettivi contributi nel riferimento agli interessi manifestati dalla ipotetica Committenza e dall’ipotetico Costruttore del progetto.

Esame Orale: L'esame consiste nella consegna e presentazione di tutti gli elaborati realizzati nell'ambito dell’insegnamento e nella discussione critica degli stessi anche in relazione ai contenuti teorici erogati durante il semestre.

Discussione orale con presentazione degli elaborati prodotti durante l’insegnamento. La discussione dei materiali presentati dagli studenti verrà valutata in funzione della completezza, della capacità di interpretazione, di approfondimento e di restituzione grafica rispetto al tema assegnato e mira a verificare la conoscenza e comprensione delle nozioni teoriche erogate e la capacità di rielaborare criticamente i concetti acquisiti e di orientarli alle applicazioni pratiche progettuali.
La modalità illustrata permette di raggiungere gli obiettivi formativi elencati in precedenza e il livello di maturazione raggiunto rispetto ai temi della progettazione di navi da diporto e navi passeggeri da crociera.
Infine, poiché l’insegnamento prevede l’erogazione di Open Badge, il colloquio orale e l’attività di gruppo svolta durante il semestre contribuiscono a verificare l’acquisizione delle Soft Skills dichiarate.

The teaching aims to complete the student skills in the naval architecture field through the study of advanced topics specifically concerning the preliminary phase of the design.

This unit provides an overwiew on the hydrodynamic design of motor yachts, focusing on high speed crafts. The topic will be addressed focusing firstly on hull performances, secondly on aspects concerning propulsions. Concerning the first topic, significant part of the course will address the hydrodynamics of planing hulls and available method to assess their performances during preliminary design: Savitsky method, systematic series, statistical methods and model tests.
Additionally, aspects of the hydrodynamics of stepped hulls and hydrofoil vessels will be discussed.
The last part of the course will instead address specific aspects of the propulsion of high speed applications, such as propeller cavitation and surface piercing propellers.
As a result this unit aims to complete the students knowledge in the field of naval architecture and hydrodynamic design of yachts considering theories and methods specifically dedicated to high speed applications.

Oral exam. During the exam the student will have to present his assignment on the application of the Savitsky method on a test case chosen by the candidate. Furthermore the student will have to answer to one/two questions aboout topics addressed during the course (the number of question will depend on the detail of discussions).
During the discussion of the assignement the students capability will be assessed focusing on:
Capability to interpret obtained results and derive useful indication for the hydrodynamic design of a planing hull. As an example the student will need to comment on the effects of some geometrical parameters of the hull on its performances, identifying values and trends improving the efficiency of the unit (note: this does not mean using a proper optimization procedure whose theoretical basis are not addressed within the course).
Theoretical questions will allow assessing the capability of the student to remember and understand theories and methods addressed during the course.
The grade will be defined based on the overall assessment of the assignment and answers of the candidate.

During the exam., the achievement of the aims of the course will be assessed with a special focus on:
Capability to remember and describe the base concept of the addressed topics (e.g. physical principles, simplifying assumptions, relations among quantities of interest etc.). It is not mandatory to remember precisely all the equations and formulations considered in the course while it will be instead assessed the capability to remember and describe the existance of formulations, the methods and assumptions used to derive them, their validity and the involved quantities.
Capability to reason on high speed crafts hydrodynamics bases on theories and methods studied within the course.
Acità to describe autonomously the use of methods addressed within the course with a special focus on their applicability domain, computational procedures, and analysis of results.
Ability to use proper technical language

The teaching is intended to provide students with the basis of the most advanced numerical techniques adopted for the solution of the hydrodynamic problems related to naval architecture. The theoretical background of each proposed methodology, with its field of application and its limits, is presented together with hands-on examples.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is becoming more and more attractive in the marine industry, as a complementary tool to the usual model and full-scale measurements. Deep knowledge of the theoretical basis of each approach, their limitations, the applicability fields and the quality of the results is, consequently, fundamental for the successful applicability of these approaches to design and analysis problems.

Oral exam. If the number of student is considerable also a preliminary written exam can be planned.

The oral test is aimed at establishing the student's ability to present the topics covered in class in an exhaustive, autonomous and using proper language. The final score will take into account both exposure and knowledge of the concepts presented.
Sufficiency requires an adequate general knowledge of the requested subject, demonstrating the ability to explain it in an understandable way.

Oral exam.
In order to be admitted to the oral exam, students have to present the assignements given during the semester in classrooom. The assignments will be discussed during the oral exam.

The oral exam is aimed at evaluating the knowledge of theoretical and practical aspects related to the ship stability. It consists of a discussion of the delivered assignments and two open questions about the topics developed in classroom during the semester.
During the conversation about the assignements, the students will be requested to give evidence of capability to apply in practice the theorethical methodologies with the proper critical attitude toward results.
Questions are aimed to assess the capability of the students to discuss about theorethical and practical aspects of ship hydrostatics and stability.
Specific attention will be given to the capability of indicating the basic assuptions together with the input data, the target of the procedure and its rational developement.
The final grade is based on the ability to describe, autonomously, with appropriate terms and with critical thinking, the topics illustrated during lessons and developped during the home assigments.

IMO safety rules relevant to the intact and damaged ship stability.

The teaching deals with advanced studies of ship stability and dynamics, providing advanced skills for the design of vessels and yachts.

The course includes the definition of the behavior of a vessel at sea from different points of view (such as static, dynamic, etc.). The course will provide the theoretical and regulatory bases for the study of vessels, providing the necessary skills for the ship design.

The overall grade will be the result of the average of the grades received for each module. Registration will take place after passing both modules.

The oral exam consists of some questions aimed at ascertaining the knowledge developed during the lessons on all the topics covered. The ability to present and deal with the topics analyzed during the semester will be assessed.
