Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng): Ships technical performance weakens over time as the hull and propeller roughness increases and hull fouling grows.
Measuring how much the performance has suffered is difficult as there are many variables affecting to ships performance during normal operation such as waves, wind, shallow water and ships floating position.

The aim of this work was by using ships normal sensor for measurements to find an analysis method for measuring the weakened performance.
The goal is to do that by normalizing the actual measurements using the knowledge of external environmental and ship conditions and adding filtering for extreme, unessential data due to accelerations, movements and manoeuvres to the measurements to exclude unreasonable results.

For being able to normalize the results the dynamic and static phenomenon such as interaction between ship and waves, aerodynamic resistance and theory of hull fouling affecting to the ships performance during normal operation was studied from the literature.

The measurements for this analysis were done onboard VLCC using NAPA Log system for collecting the data from the sensors and sending the results ashore.
The results were then processed using MS SQL database engine and NAPA hydrodynamic calculations.

The results show that the performance indexing indicated weakened performance during the measurement period with good correlation to what the theories would have forecasted.
That proves that by using described methods for normalization and filtering the measurements performance can be reliable indicated and this information can be utilized for several benchmarking purposes.
