A prototype concurrent engineering tool has been developed for the preliminary design of composite topside structures for modern navy warships. This tool, named GELS for the Concurrent engineering of Layered Structures, provides designers with an immediate assessment of the impacts of their decisions on several disciplines which are important to the performance of a modern naval topside structure, including electromagnetic interference effects (EMI), radar cross section (RCS), structural integrity, cost, and weight. Preliminary analysis modules in each of these disciplines are integrated to operate from a common set of design variables and a common materials database. Performance in each discipline and an overall fitness function for the concept are then evaluated. A graphical user interface (GUI) is used to define requirements and to display the results from the technical analysis modules. Optimization techniques, including feasible sequential quadratic programming (FSQP) and exhaustive search are used to modify the design variables to satisfy all requirements simultaneously. The development of this tool, the technical modules, and their integration are discussed noting the decisions and compromises required to develop and integrate the modules into a prototype conceptual design tool.

The paper presents results of research with the new predictive autopilot structure (PIP+D) with gain scheduling. The autopilot is tested and compared with conventional PID autopilot for a mariner class ship. The autopilot parameters are changed with the speed of the ship using the gain scheduling technique. Results obtained during the research show that the proposed autopilot structure is to be recommended if improved performance is of prime interest, when the velocity of the ship is changing. The analysis is based on the simulation of a mariner class ship as a nonlinear system, with the steering servo system taken as a nonlinear model. Results of the simulation are included.

A new method is presented for estimating regions of asymptotic stability for autonomous nonlinear systems. The method applies to systems that can be proven to be non-oscillatory, using a suitable Lyapunov technique. It is especially effective for second-order systems that possess several equilibrium states for which the regions of attraction must be found. The determination of the regions of asymptotic stability requires the explicit computation of a Lyapunov function and the determination by backward numerical integration of a limited number of trajectories. The obtained estimates are close approximations of the exact regions of asymptotic stability of the system's stable equilibria.

In this paper, the architecture of a fuzzy processor intended for high-speed control applications is described. Its main advantage is the inference speed that does not depend on the number of used inputs and rules. This is accomplished by the usage of content addressable memory as a rule set storage. The proposed architecture was simulated and the simulation results give the inference speed of about 200 KFLIPS.

A new technique for control system design based on the Optimal Constrained Covariance control (OC 3 ) is presented. A design procedure of control system for dynamic ship positioning is proposed. In the papers published so far the controller gain matrices were detennined using the classical Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) optimal control technique, the pole-placement technique and characteristic locus design method. The main disadvantage of these techniques is their poor correspondence with the real performance requirements of control system. Using the proposed technique this disadvantage is avoided. The results of computer simulation using OC 3 control are presented.

This paper deals with the pole assignment controller design under consideration of the control signal saturation. The controller synthesis developed for the double integrator plant is based on the decomposition of the 2nd order dynamics into two particular 1st order movements witch enables, together with the newly introduced geometrical interpretation of closed loop poles, an easy handling of saturation effects and yields a simlpe explicite controller fully respecting the given saturation limits. So, the specification of the closed loop poles can be made quite indipendently from the saturation effect, i.e. they only have to respect different parasitic effects like quantization and measurement noice, neclected dynamics, etc. It gives to the designer a new “degree of freedom” in comparing with the “linear” pole assignment controllers, where this choice has to take into account also the allowed control signal amplitudes.

Some techniques for the stability analysis of the control system with fuzzy logic controller are presented. The techniques are based on classical methods and they require the fuzzy controller, satisfying the sector condition. The structure of fuzzy controller, satisfying this requirement is proposed. For this controller, the analytical dependence between the stability margin and controller parameters is developed and the technique for tuning the controller parameters is also developed. The analogy with switching curve is used to tune the remaining degrees of freedom of the controller. The method is documented on a d.c. velocity servosystem.

The methods are based on classical methods and they require fuzzy logic controller, satisfying the sector condition. The necessary structure of fuzzy controller, satisfying this requirement is proposed. For this controller, the method for tuning the controller parameters is developed. The method is based on stability analysis and guarantees the stability of the system. The analogy with switching curve is used to tune the remaining degrees of freedom of the controller. The method is documented on a d.c. velocity servosystem.
