The engineering design process can produce stress that endures even after it has been
completed. This may be particularly true for students who engage with the process as …

A Monte Carlo approach to the ship-centric Markov decision process (SC-MDP) is presented
for analyzing whether a container ship should convert to LNG power in the face of evolving …

To decrease Europe's harmful emissions, the European Union aims to substantially increase
its offshore wind energy capacity. To further develop offshore wind energy, investment in …

Teams are common throughout engineering practice and industry when solving complex,
interdisciplinary problems. Previous works in engineering problem solving have studied the …

The aim of this paper is to discuss the challenges associated with the early-stage design of
novel and reliable vessels, and discuss the expected benefit of the application of multi …

Cost growth and schedule delays frequently impact the design of naval vessels as well as
other physically-large and complex products. In vessel design, many instances of cost …

Various aspects of the design process often lead to stress. This study used pre-and post-task
surveys to gather information regarding the designer's cognitive experience, physiological …

Generating detailed warship layouts is crucial to check technical feasibility and performance
consistent with emergent requirement elucidation during early stage design. However …

This paper introduces a decision-making model for forecasting design and decision paths in
ship design by applying eigenvector analysis to the ship-centric Markov decision process …

In recent decades, emergent design failure has caused years of delays and billions of
dollars in cost overruns in naval ship design programs globally. However, these failures are …
