Research on a New Type of Catamaran with Shock-Absorbing and Energy-Saving Suspension Structure

Abstract

Compared with traditional offshore tourism ships, the catamaran designed in this project adopts a suspension structure, which can bring shock absorption to the ship, so that the main hull has better stability and greatly improves the stability of the ship. It improves the comfort of passengers, and can better enjoy the fun of marine tourism; and a vibration power generation system is added to the suspension structure, which uses the kinetic energy generated by the undulating process of the ship to generate electricity, so as to achieve the effect of energy saving. At the same time, the catamaran designed in this project has two side bodies symmetrically located on both sides in contact with the water surface. The main body of the hull is suspended above the water surface under the support of the suspension system, which minimizes the contact between the main body and the seawater. The resulting frictional resistance reduces the use of energy, thereby achieving the effect of energy saving.
