3.2. Optimization problem formulation<br />

The optimization problem is posed as the identification of a plan<strong>in</strong>g craft with m<strong>in</strong>imum total<br />

resistance subject to the constra<strong>in</strong>ts on displacement, stability (transverse metacentric height) and<br />

impact acceleration correspond<strong>in</strong>g to the operational sea-states. The plan<strong>in</strong>g craft used <strong>in</strong> this study<br />

represents a craft similar to U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Surf Rescue Boat (30-foot SRB) (Halberstadt<br />

(1987)). The ship is designed to operate <strong>in</strong> sea up to 3 m waves, with a maximum speed of 30 knots.<br />

The seaway scenarios are expressed <strong>in</strong> Table II by significant wave heights H 1/3 assum<strong>in</strong>g Pierson-<br />

Moskovitz spectra. The objective functions and constra<strong>in</strong>ts are listed below, where subscripts B, I, T,<br />

C and A resemble basis hull, candidate hull, total resistance, calm water resistance and added<br />

resistance due to waves, respectively.<br />

M<strong>in</strong>imize:<br />

f = R T , where R T = R C + R A<br />

Design variables: 9m
