The U.S. Department of Defense has implemented an initiative to become more energy efficient across all services. The Naval Postgraduate School supported development towards this goal by studying the possibility of energy ...
AUTONOMOUS AGENTS UTILIZING PASSIVE OPTICAL SENSING FOR CONTROL
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2019-03)
The project addresses the problem of integrating a passive optical sensor onboard an autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and its operation in future missions against various targets/threats. The thesis develops the ...
DIVER-APPLIED UNDERWATER COMPOSITE PATCH REPAIR ON ALUMINUM HULLS
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2018-09)
This thesis investigates the feasibility of applying a composite repair patch in the underwater environment as an alternative repair on aluminum ship hulls over conventional welding and replacement repairs, which can be ...
FLUID-FILLED STRUCTURE WITH MULTIPLE COMPOSITE COMPARTMENTS SUBJECTED TO LOW-VELOCITY IMPACT
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2018-06)
The focus of this study was to investigate the dynamic response and the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) in a fluid-filled composite structure with multiple compartments subjected to a low-velocity impact. The compartments ...
UPGRADE TRANSONIC COMPRESSOR TEST RIG DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2018-06)
This thesis presents an upgraded data acquisition system (DAS) for the transonic compressor test rig (TCR). The legacy DAS acquired and processed pressure, temperature, and rotational speed data. The data were mass averaged, ...
