Velocity and pressure effects on projectiles due to variation of ignition parameters
(Naval Postgraduate School, 1972)
The effect of varying the point of ignition of the powder charge
within a cartridge case was investigated with respect to both pressure
and velocity. By installing a small tube in the base of the cartridge
case it was ...
A numerical evaluation of the Liouville-Green approximation of variable-coefficient Lanchester-type equations of modern warfare
(1976-03)
This thesis evaluates the so-called Liouville-Green
approximation to the solution of variable-coefficient
Lanchester-type equations for combat between two homogeneous
forces. When compared to the form of the exact ...
Area-efficient and volume-efficient algorithms for loading cargo
(Monterey, California; Naval Postgraduate School, 1970-09)
The proposed greater reliance upon airlifting military forces demands that cargo loading time be minimized while utilization of aircraft cargo compartment space is maximized. Two loading algorithms have been developed ...
