A comparison of buffer strip and non-buffer strip joint designs
(1976-06)
Buffer strip and non-buffer strip bolted wing skin type joints made from NARMCO 5208/T300 graphite-epoxy material were designed, and the excess bearing capacity and weight of these joints were calculated for a wide range ...
Automatic control of ship deceleration
(Monterey, California : Naval Postgraduate School, 1978-03)
Various methods have been introduced for dynamic braking of ships. Depending on the prime mover and transmission system, dynamic braking is accomplished by electric power dissipation (in electric driven ships) or clutches ...
High speed linear induction motor efficiency optimization
(Monterey California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2005-06)
One of the reasons linear motors, a technology nearly a century old, have not been adopted for a large number of linear motion applications is that they have historically had poor efficiencies. This has restricted the ...
Analysis of harmonic distortion in an integrated power system for naval applications
(2005-06)
This research quantifies the voltage distortion over the broad range of operating conditions experienced by a Naval warship. A steady state model of an Integrated Power System (IPS) was developed in a commercially available ...
Coherent/noncoherent detection of coherent optical heterodyne DPSK-CDMA and MFSK-CDMA signals
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1991-12)
The system performance of a coherent optical heterodyne communication system is analyzed for MFSK-CDMA and DPSK-CDMA signaling. The analysis determines the effect that receiver thermal noise, photodetector shot noise, ...
Determination of diesel engine cylinder gas torques from speed fluctuations with a high-fidelity crankshaft torsional model
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1998-12-01)
An experimental investigation was conducted to develop a method of predicting cylinder indicated torques in a reciprocating engine by measurement of crankshaft angular velocity fluctuations. Cylinder indicated pressures ...
Multidimensional analysis of the electroencephalogram using digital signal processing techniques
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 1973-12)
The first series of results of a major research project for the analysis of the electroencephalogram (EEG) are reported. The requirements of a system capable of real time, multidimensional analysis of the EEG are described. ...
Development of a procedure for the selection of candidate vessels of opportunity in support of the submarine rescue diving and recompression system
(Monterey California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2005-06)
The U.S. Navy's new system for rescuing stranded submariners, the Submarine Rescue Diving and Recompression System (SRDRS), utilizes a tethered, remotely operated Pressurized Rescue Module (PRM) deployed and controlled ...
A method of increasing the kinematic boundary of air-to-air missiles using an optimal control approach
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2000-09-01)
Current missile guidance laws are generally based on one of several forms of proportional navigation (PN). While PN laws are robust, analytically tractable, and computationally simple, they are only optimal in a narrow ...
An analysis of spacecraft dynamic testing at the vehicle level
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1996-06)
The US space industry has accumulated a vast amount of expertise in the testing of spacecraft to ensure these vehicles can endure the harsh environments associated with launch and on-orbit operations. Even with this corporate ...
