    Digital twin for ship life-cycle: A critical systematic review

    Full text link
    The focus on digitalisation in manufacturing is spreading to other industry fields, including large and complex objects like ships. Such interest introduces the concept of Digital Twins in supporting designers and operators through the whole ship-life cycle. However, the term Digital Twin is typically abused in the shipping industry, many times erroneously referring to any virtual version of a model-based system as a Digital Twin of the ship. The mutual data exchange between the physical and virtual environment, which is the basis of a true Digital Twin, is mostly missing, confusing a virtual model with a sophisticated living virtual environment. Few reviews are available in the literature for Digital Twins on ships. This systematic review proposes the identification of weaknesses and correlations between current Digital Twin applications in the maritime industry and other industry fields. Furthermore, the methodology applied here may be repeated in future studies to provide a fair and objective overview of the research advancements in the topic. The study highlighted how literature scarcely addresses the design and decommissioning phases, indicating that research should focus on these topics, especially concerning the design of future ships.</p

    A probabilistic approach for dynamic positioning capability and operability predictions

    Full text link
    Determining Dynamic Positioning capability for an offshore vessel is mandatory to identify the environmental forces the system can counteract, together with the operability in a specific operational area of interest. Conventional predictions evaluate the capability as a maximum sustainable wind speed at a predefined encounter angle for a given wind–wave correlation, not reflecting the effective wind and waves occurrence at the site. In this respect, a step forward is provided by the scatter diagram approach, allowing the evaluation of operability in a specific sea area, using a simplified method to predict wind speed from wave parameters. Here, using known wind–waves joint distributions for the long-term environmental conditions further improves the scatter diagram approach, assessing the operability of a Dynamic Positioning system through a Quasi-Monte Carlo sampling of the joint distribution. Analysing the results of the Quasi-Monte Carlo process, it is possible to obtain a site-specific capability plot, allowing the identification of critical wind speeds in a way that is familiar to operators in the offshore industry. The application of this novel method in the case of quasi-static calculations both to a reference supply vessel and a pipe-lay vessel shows the flexibility of the proposed approach for site-specific Dynamic Positioning capability predictions

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Recensión del libro de Mauro F. Guillén: La disciplinada belleza de lo mecánico. El taylorismo y el nacimiento de la arquitectura modernista. La cadena de montaje, como instrumento de inspiración, aplicación y renovación de la arquitectura moderna, es la atractiva base de este libro de Mauro F. Guillén. Para este reputado catedrático de sociología, la arquitectura comenzó a cobrar mayor importancia, económica y políticamente, cuando, hace un siglo, empezó a hacerse eco de las ideas de Frederick W. Taylor –que él llamó “administración científica”– y a aplicar, por influencia de la ingeniería, los principios del método, la estandarización y la planificación.Peer reviewe

    Mauro F. Guillén sostiene que el mundo que conocemos va a desaparecer, probablemente, en menos de diez años. Su libro trata no solo de exponer las razones principales del final de nuestra realidad, sino también de apuntar cómo podemos adaptarnos a los cambios que vendrán de la mejor manera posible para conseguir que el impacto en nuestras vidas sea mucho menor

    Variations on the Author

    Full text link
    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
