3. Rules of the house
You are welcome to take pictures in here…
But absolutely no photos in the towing tank area, please!

4. Introducing ADAM4EVE
Adaptive and smart materials and structures for more efficient vessels.
funded by the European Union within the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) – contract number: SCP2-GA
Duration: Jan 2013 – Dec 2015

5. ADAM4EVE – Why Adaptive? Challenges addressed: Aim: Constraints
Varying operation and environment.
Ships optimized for one specific condition or a limited range
Constant properties of structures and materials.
Aim:
improve ship performance and safety by making materials and structures modifiable during operation;
modifications can be based passively (smart materials) or actively (sensors and actuators);
provide inexpensive solutions;
Constraints
Complexity of ship – Various functionalities
Extreme loads at sea – Ability to withstand the harsh operation
Safety requirements – Rules complied for the safety of passengers/cargos
One-of-a-kind product – Cost efficiency
Varying operations
Varying vibration
Varying sunlight
Design speed + design draught

6. ADAM4EVE – Work approach
Material and Component Development
Uptake of solutions available for other industries
Development of modules, interfaces etc. for the marine sector
Assessment of Safety and Sustainability
Identification of risks and risk control options
Tests of technical properties (thermal, mechanical, fire etc.)
Life cycle cost and environmental assessment
Validation and Development of Realistic Applications
Design studies of adaptive solutions
Identify problems and research needs
Manufacturing of application prototypes

7. ADAM4EVE – Materials/Applications
Smart materials
Optic smart coatings and glass
Magnetic smart damping material
Smart latent heat storage material
Reinforced rubber etc.
Adaptive applications
16 solutions for realistic application scenarios
Design studies, prototypes, tests
Bulbous bow
Rudder-propeller
Electro- and infrared smart windows, adaptive dampers etc.
 Documented by means of dissemination material and events

8. Integration: Describe necessary future steps
Introducing MESA
Maritime Europe Strategy Action – FOSTER Waterborne
Sep – Aug. 2016
Goal: Increase effectiveness of funding programs by
targeting strategic goals
collecting technology gaps
improving cooperation between funding programs and projects
using a wider range of project results
Scope: Funding programs in Europe (EU, member states, regional), and private investments for RDI in the maritime industry
Approach and methodology:
Integration: Describe necessary future steps
Engergy efficiency
Safety
Material & Production
E-Maritime
Market
Policy
Societal needs
Regulations
SoA – State of the art (research & industry)
Foresight – Analysis of ‚external‘ drivers
MESA
Technical development
EU research priorities

9. Goals of the workshop Show innovative application opportunities
Enable dialogue between Research, industry and classification
Compare State-of-the-art vs. Challenges + Obstacles w/r to future developments
Discuss Options for overcoming potential problems
Receive your feedback (via direct discussion or by filling the feedback forms)
