The impact of control system design on ship performance has been
significant in different applications of ship motion control:
course keeping, station keeping, roll stabilisation and vertical
motion/riding control, diving, path following, etc. This monograph
introduces ship motion control by studying the particular problems
of control system design for course autopilots with rudder roll
stabilisation and combined ruddera "fin stabilisers. Ship Motion
Control revisits the ingredients that make these control designs
challenging and proposes a contemporary control system design
approach to meet that challenge.
The key ingredients for a successful ship motion control system
design are:
- appropriate mathematical models of the ship and the
disturbances;
- understanding of how performance will be assessed;
- knowledge of fundamental limitations that may prevent designs
from achieving the desired performance.
The book is organised in four parts, the first three dealing
with each of these and the fourth part addressing control system
design.
Specific topics covered include:
- modelling and simulation of ocean waves;
- ship dynamics;
- models of actuators;
- ship roll stabilisation devices;
- ship motion performance;
- analysis of fundamental limitations for stabiliser control
system design;
- constrained control design via optimisation;
- autopilot design using optimal control;
- wave filtering;
- control system design for autopilots with rudder roll
stabilisation;
- control system design for integrated rudder-fin
stabiliser.
Ship Motion Control willbe of interest not only to the
practising marine engineer but to the academic engaged in research
into this important control problem, even if new to the area. It
will also be an ideal source of reference for students and tutors
involved with marine and control engineering courses.
