In the present report an extension of the mathematical model for the tacking maneuver of a sailing yacht, as previously described by the same authors in Reference [1], will be presented. There is a need for such a mathematical model because the tacking maneuver and more in particular the speed loss during such a maneuver, is of interest for handicapping purposes. If this speed loss of a large variety of sailing yachts can be calculated the differences may be incorporated in their respective handicaps. This implies however also that this mathematical model should incorporate only the use of formulations based on “generic” parameters, which describe the hull form and the sail plan of the yacht under consideration. In the present report a more complete description of this model, as available so far, will be presented. The accent is on the hydrodynamic part of the model. As much as possible the results obtained within the Delft Systematic Yacht Hull Series (DSYHS) will be used. In a future report also the aerodynamic part will be more extensively elaborated so that a wider variety of sail plans may be dealt with. A number of simulations with the model have been performed and checked with the results obtained during a series of full scale measurements.

Hull form design from parent ships transforms the ship's parameters based on the variation of theoretical sectional area curve of the Lackenby method. The correction and modification of the theoretical sectional area curve is essentially the change of ship displacement, hull form coefficients, and the longitudinal center of buoyancy from the parent ships. In the preliminary design stage, the hull form design approach from parent ships minimizes the risks compared to the new design while still retaining hydrostatic and hydrodynamics' advantages. However, the Lackenby method of ship hull form variation uses a linear or quadratic function to shift the sectional area curves, regardless of the ship's hull form faring, especially the curvature's discontinuity the bow, stern, and midship. Therefore, the computer graphic algorithm based on the B-spline function is studied and applied; simultaneously, the mathematical model for the designed waterline is built in the form of a continuous curve instead of the B-spline segments. In this study, the mathematical model for the coastal container ship's design water line is constructed, ensuring continuity and fairing throughout the continuous B-spline curve. The geometry continuity evaluation results are expressed through the parameter curve's curvature and resistance component calculations' performance by computational analysis.

Estimating ship resistance accurately in different water depths is crucial to design a resistance-optimized hull form and to estimate the minimum required power. This paper presents a validation of a new procedure used for resistance correction of different water depths proposed by Raven, and it presents the numerical simulations of a Kriso container ship (KCS) for different water depth/draught ratios. Model-scale and full-scale ship resistances were predicted using in-house computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code: HUST-Ship. Firstly, the mathematical model is established and the numerical uncertainties are analyzed to ensure the reliability of the subsequent calculations. Secondly, resistances of different water depth/draught ratios are calculated for a KCS scaled model and a full-scale KCS. The simulation results show a similar trend for the change of model-scale and full-scale resistance in different water depths. Finally, the correction procedure proposed by Raven is briefly introduced, and the CFD resistance simulation results of different water depth/draught ratios are compared with the results estimated using the Raven method. Generally, the reliability of the HUST-Ship solver used for predicting ship resistance is proved, and the practicability of the Raven method is discussed.

This article discusses the developed mathematicalmodel that takes intoaccount the errors of sharpening and assembling the cutting blades of a countersink tool with carbide blades. This allows you to determine the actual area of the cut sections of the allowance for each blade and calculate the cutting forces acting on them. The resultant cutting forces leads to lateral displacements of the axis of the tool during machining of the hole. The mathematical model makes it possible to determine the errors of processing holes (axis retraction, split and shape accuracy) with a countersink with a carbideblades. To check the adequacy of the mathematical model, fullscale experiments were performed on blanks madeof various materials. The method of conducting a full-scale experiment was developed. Recommended cutting modes and a countersink with three blades are selected. Processing was performed at the MM800 Fanuc processing center. Using modern automation tools – the Renishaw system and additive technologies using the Range Vision Spectrum 3D scanner, the drift of the hole axis was measured after processing with a vertical drill with carbide blades. This device allows you to get the desired result in a very short time. A compact sensor was used to measure the deflection of the hole axis, allowing for very accurate results. Substituting the part processing data into the mathematical model, the calculated values (theoretical) of the hole axis withdrawal during processing for the prototypes are obtained. The theoretical results and the results of the field experiment are compared. Comparing the obtained theoretical results – the results of a mathematical model, and the results of a full-scale experiment, it was concluded that the developed mathematical model is adequate and can be used in production by technologists in the development and computer debugging of technological processes.

In any economy there is a need for the bulky goods transportation which cannot be divided into smaller parts. Such cargoes include building structures, elements of industrial equipment, tracked or wheeled construction and agricultural machinery, heavy armored military vehicles. In any case, tractor-semitrailer should provide fast delivery of goods with minimal fuel consumption. In order to guarantee the goods delivery, tractor-semitrailers must be able to overcome the existing roads broken grade and be capable to tow a semi-trailer in off-road conditions. These properties are especially important for military equipment transportation. The important factor that determines a tractor-semitrailer mobility is its gradeability. The purpose of this work is to improve a tractor-semitrailer mobility with tractor units manufactured at PJSC “AutoKrAZ” by increasing the tractor-semitrailer gradeability. The customer requirements for a new tractor are determined by the maximizing the grade to 18°. The analysis of the characteristics of modern tractor-semitrailers for heavy haulage has shown that the highest rate of this grade is 16.7°. The factors determining the limiting gradeability value were analyzed, based on the tractor-semitrailer with a KrAZ-6510TE tractor and a semi-trailer with a full weight of 80 t. It has been developed a mathematical model to investigate the tractor and semi-trailer axles vertical reactions distribution on the tractor-semitrailer friction performances. The mathematical model has allowed to calculate the gradeability value that the tractor-semitrailer can overcome in case of wheels and road surface friction value and the tractive force magnitude from the engine. The mathematical model adequacy was confirmed by comparing the calculations results with the data of factory tests. The analysis showed that on a dry road the KrAZ-6510TE tractor with a 80 t gross weight semitrailer is capable to climb a gradient of 14,35 ° with its coupling mass full use condition. The engine's maximum torque allows the tractor-semitrailer to overcome a gradient of 10.45° It has been determined the ways to improve the design of the KrAZ-6510TE tractor to increase its gradeability. Keywords: tractor, tractor-semitrailer vehicle mobility, tractor-semitrailer vehicle gradeability.
