Oscillating flow about tube bundles.
(Monterey, California : Naval Postgraduate School, 1979-09)
The lift, drag, and inertia coefficients have been determined
experimentally for various tube bundles and for two cylinders at
various relative positions subjected to harmonically oscillating
flow. The force coefficients ...
Earthquake resistant submarine drydock block system design
(Monterey California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1988)
This thesis develops a 3-degree of freedom submarine drydock blocking system computer aided design package. Differential equations of motion are developed to take into account high blocking systems, wale shores, and side ...
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, ...
Identification of ship model nation parameters.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1971)
Plastic sheer buckling of ship hull plating induced by grounding
(Monterey California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1992-06)
A study was conducted to develop an analytical model for predicting the horizontal resistance due to in-plane shear of ship's hull bottom plating that is undergoing deformation induced by grounding. First, four models were ...
Plans and specifications for a full-scale towing model validation experiment.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1989)
A computer simulation of a naval boiler
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1978-09)
A non-linear computer model of a U.S. Navy D-type boiler was developed using lumped parameters. the program was coded in IBM CSMP-III simulation language. A companion routine was also coded to permit the user to implement ...
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 ...
