A SEAKEEPING STUDY ON THE AUTONOMOUS SUSTAINMENT CARGO CONTAINER DELIVERY SYSTEM
(Monterey California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2008-03)
An increasing emphasis has recently been placed with fighting non-national and irregular forces. Single entity attacks on shipping and transportation units have replaced attacks on fortified or established military positions. ...
SIMULATION OF FULL AND PART-LOAD PERFORMANCE OF A FREE-PISTON GAS GENERATOR BY ELECTRONIC ANALOG METHODS.
(Monterey, California: U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, 1960)
In this investigation, use was made of an electronic analog for simulation the operation of a free-piston gas generator. The basic concept of the analog was developed in a previous investigation and involved creating of ...
THE RESPONSE AND FAILURE MECHANISMS OF CIRCULAR METAL AND COMPOSITE PLATES SUBJECTED TO UNDERWATER SHOCK LOADING
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1990-03)
The response and failure mechanism of circular aluminum and S-2 glass fiber/po lyester resin matrix composi te panels in response to underwater shock loading were investigated. The response of the aluminum panels was ...
CHARACTERIZATION OF MICROSTRUCTURE AND MICROTEXTURE IN LONGITUDINAL SECTIONS FROM FRICTION STIR PROCESSED NICKEL-ALUMINUM BRONZE
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2003-06)
Cast nickel-aluminum bronze (NAB) is the material of choice for propellers in both surface ships and submarines. New designs require a material with improved strength and hardness while retaining NAB's corrosion resistance. ...
ACCELERATION OF AN UNBALANCED ROTOR THROUGH ITS CRITICAL SPEEDS
(Monterey, California: U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, 1962)
The motion of an unbalanced rotor during acceleration through its critical speed is studied by numerical solutions obtained with a digital computer. The rotor is laterally restrained in two
orthogonal directions by linear ...
FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF THE HIERARCHICAL STRUCTURE OF HUMAN BONE
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2003-03)
The objective of this study was to develop an analytical model of the basic hierarchical structure of the human bone. The model computed the stiffness of composite collagen fibers comprised of collagen fibrils and ...
DEFENSE AGAINST SHIP AS A WEAPON
As an example of ships used as weapons (SAW), an oil tanker is hijacked and commandeered by terrorists to collide with a high-value maritime or shore target. If sunk or destroyed in a shipping lane as a result of a counter ...
VALIDATION OF A COMPUTATIONAL MODEL FOR AUTOGENOUS ARC WELDING
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1990-03)
A three dimensional transient computational model of heat transfer are welding is generalized, and then validated by comparison to Rosenthal's solution for moving point sources of heat. The current version of the code ...
HEAT TRANSFER CHARACTERISTICS OF SCREEN MATRICES AT LOW REYNOLDS NUMBERS
(Monterey, California: U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, 1959)
The convective heat transfer characteristics of six screen matrices with a range of porosity from 0.602 to 0.832 are presented. The characteristics were investigated over a Reynolds number range of 0.1 to 10, based on ...
MOLECULAR DYNAMIC MODELING AND SIMULATION FOR POLYMERS
Polymers have been widely used in various engineering applications. For more than a quarter century, the materials have been utilized intensively for the binding materials for composites. The material properties of the ...
