The use of neural networks as a method of correlating thermal fluid data to provide useful information on thermal systems
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2000-06)
A study on the use of neural networks as a method of correlating thermal fluid data to provide useful information on thermal systems was conducted using a neural network code package. Two separate thermal fluid systems ...
Characteristics of a four-nozzle, slotted short mixing stack with shroud, gas eductor system
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1982-03)
Cold flow tests were conducted on a four nozzle (nozzles tilted at a 15 degree angle) gas educator system to evaluate the system's performance utilizing a short slotted missing stack and two shrouds with diffuser rings. ...
Application of optimization techniques to Naval surface combatant ship synthesis.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1982-10)
This thesis presents a method of reducing the time required
to accomplish ship design feasibility studies by
coupling a naval surface combatant synthesis model with a
general purpose nonlinear optimizer. Brief descriptions ...
The experimental evaluatation of a DGPS Based Navigational System for the ARIES AUV
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2000-06)
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) currently use varying methods for navigation, but incorporating GPS into those methods is becoming a popular technique. This thesis experimentally evaluates the configuration and ...
A methodology for design of passive isolation for ship/barge connection
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1999-09-01)
Current ramp designs used in RORO operations have been determined to be structurally inadequate in Sea-State 3. The main reason for this is that when the ramp is loaded with two vehicles, the relative motions between the ...
Type 1 hot corrosion furnace testing and evaluation.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1982-10)
Furnace testing of superalloys and coating systems was
conducted to determine if type 1 hot corrosion seen in operating
gas turbine engines and burner rigs could be more
simply reproduced. Furnace parameters were varied ...
Thermal martensitic transformation cycling in Cu-Zn-Al shape memory alloys.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1982)
Four quadrant dynamic model of the AUV II thruster
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1993-09)
The dynamic behavior of the AUV II thruster was mathematically modeled by a four quadrant mapping of the propeller blade lift/drag coefficients as a function of fluid effective angle of attack. The model was validated with ...
Computer model for a towed submarine communication antenna
(Monterey California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1999-06-01)
A finite difference computer model is developed to simulate the exposure statistics of a radio frequency buoyant antenna as it is towed in a random seaway. The model allows the user to prescribe antenna properties (length, ...
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, ...
