Experimental investigation of turbulent heat transfer in straight and curved rectangular ducts
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1983-09)
An experimental investigation was conducted to examine the convective heat transfer in straight and curved ducts of rectangular cross-section. The experimental configuration was modeled as infinite parallel plates with ...
Development of a testing technique for the yield strength determination of 5 inch steel cartridge cases
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1983-09)
The standard Navy method for determining the yield strength of 5 inch steel cartridge cases is shown to overestimate the actual circumferential yield strength of the case by about 40 percent. An expanded ring testing ...
Representation of potential flow about axisymmetric bodies with discrete singularities.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1984-03)
A rational methodology has been developed whereby three-dimensional
sources and sinks may be placed along the major axis of a class of ovary
ellipsoids so as to minimize normal velocity and to calculate as exactly
as ...
The effects of environment and dwell on high temperature fatigue crack growth of 2 1/4 Cr - 1 Mo steel.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1983-06)
The effects of the environment and dwell periods on
fatigue crack growth rates at 525°C for both annealed and
normalized and tempered 2 1/4 Cr - 1 Mo steel in High
Strain Fatigue (HSF) and Linear Elastic Fracture ...
Condensation heat transfer of steam on a single horizontal tube
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1983-06)
An experimental apparatus was designed, constructed and instrumented in an effort to
systematically and carefully study the condensation heat-transfer coefficient on a single, horizontal tube. A smooth, thick-walled ...
Effect of fluid mesh truncation on the response of a Floating Shock Platform (FSP) subjected to an Underwater Explosion (UNDEX)
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1999-09)
Shock trials are required for the lead ship of each new construction shock hardened ship class. The Navy's Floating Shock Platform (FSP) is used in the acceptance of mission essential items for installation aboard shock ...
Spray generation
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1999-09)
This is an experimental investigation of the ligaments and drops generated at the free surface of liquid wall jets and liquid axisymmetric jets flowing over sand and polystyrene (beads) roughed surfaces. Experiments were ...
Sensitivity analysis of transient and steady state characteristics of surface ship progressive flooding
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1999-09)
The Navy's primary analysis of damage control and stability to date has been under static conditions. Dynamic effects, such as progressive flooding, and the dynamic damage control procedures, such as hole patching and ...
The heat treatment response of thermomechanically processed M-50 steel
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1983-12)
The heat treatment response of M-50 steel, thermomechanically processed by warm rolling, was compared to that of the same material in a conventional, spheroidize-annealed condition. Warm rolling of M-50 produces markedly ...
Development of a computer program for the testing and evaluation of numerical optimization techniques
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1982-06)
A three dimensional finite element code is written for truss analysis and design. Trusses may be designed for minimum weight subject to constraints on: member stresses, Euler buckling, joint displacements and system natural ...
