Optimization of three dimensional combined truss/frame structures
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1982-10)
A finite element code is developed for analysis and design of three-dimensional truss and frame structures. Structures are designed for minimum weight subject to constraints on: member stresses, Euler buckling, shell ...
A version of the graphics-oriented interactive finite element time-sharing system (GIFTS) for an IBM with CP/CMS.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1982-03)
A version of the Graphics-oriented, Interactive, Finite
element, Time-sharing System (GIFTS) has been developed for,
and installed on, an IBM computer with the Conversational
Monitor System (CMS). GIFTS, developed at, ...
Marine surface condenser design using vertical tubes which are enhanced.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1981-05)
A methodology is developed for calculating the heat transfer coefficient on the surface of a vertical fluted condenser tube based upon condensate film thickness. A marine condenser sizing procedure is demonstrated using ...
A study of model based maneuvering controls for autonomous underwater vehicles
(1987-12)
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) are being considered by the U.S. Navy for a variety of missions. Requirements for autonomy reinforce the need for a robust maneuvering controller that can ensure accurate tracking of a ...
Natural convection liquid immersion cooling of high density columns of discrete heat sources in a vertical channel.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1989-06)
Natural convection liquid cooling of simulated electronic components in a vertical channel was investigated. The test surface consisted of three columns of fifteen flush mounted foil heaters. The channel was formed by ...
Cavitation characteristics of a high ramp angle water-jet inlet
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1967-06)
Fundamental vibrational frequency by a 3D - FEB procedure.
(Naval Postgraduate School, 1975)
This thesis presents a computer program which will
solve for the lowest natural vibrational frequency of an
arbitrarily shaped three dimensional object. The program
was developed using a finite element numerical model ...
Coupled roll and directional stability characteristics of surface ships.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1992-06)
The problem of roll, sway and yaw motions of surface ships is considered. A
mathematical model is developed which consists of the nonlinear maneuvering equations
and incorporates cross coupling between sway force, yaw ...
Trailing vortex attenuation devices.
(1985-06)
Trailing vortices generated by large aircraft pose a
serious hazard to other planes. Numerous studies have been
carried out to destroy them either before and/or after their
formation. The present investigation is a ...
The effect of dilute polymer solution on the Strouhal frequency of circular cylinders.
(Monterey, California ; Naval Postgraduate School, 1971)
Flow of aqueous solutions of Polyox WSR-301, at a concentration of 25 wppm, was investigated in the cylinder drag transition region of Reynolds numbers. Frequency spectrum and drag force were measured on a circular cylinder ...
