Marine Engineering Final Year Topic: Investigation of Ship Propulsion Redundancy Model

This Marine Engineering final year project examines comparing availability assumptions in fictional propulsion architectures, using a fictional civilian vessel model, permitted teaching dataset or non-operational information-system prototype.

Why choose this project topic?

The topic addresses comparing availability assumptions in fictional propulsion architectures, a focused marine-engineering problem with identifiable assumptions and outputs. Comparing availability estimate, downtime and redundancy sensitivity helps a student connect calculations or software behaviour to a practical vessel-system question while discussing the limits of the evidence.

How do the selected marine-system assumptions affect availability estimate, downtime and redundancy sensitivity when comparing availability assumptions in fictional propulsion architectures?

Choose a documented teaching model, synthetic vessel case or permitted dataset, then agree the parameter ranges and comparison method for comparing availability assumptions in fictional propulsion architectures.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the civilian teaching system, data and assumptions required for comparing availability assumptions in fictional propulsion architectures.
  2. 02Create synthetic component failure and repair distributions, compare series and parallel arrangements and inspect common-cause assumptions.
  3. 03Compare availability estimate, downtime and redundancy sensitivity and document uncertainty and limits on operational interpretation.

A suggested research approach

Create synthetic component failure and repair distributions, compare series and parallel arrangements and inspect common-cause assumptions. Use no live vessel controls and confirm permission for every dataset. Record units and system boundaries, check conservation or reference behaviour, then evaluate availability estimate, downtime and redundancy sensitivity without treating a successful simulation as certification of real equipment.

What you will need

  • Fictional system diagrams
  • Synthetic reliability data
  • Reliability simulation tools

Keep your project scope clear

Modelled redundancy does not certify propulsion reliability or seaworthiness.
