Abstract
The extreme towline tension prediction methods used by the U.S. Navy are based on analytical models developed by Milgram, Triantafyllou, Frimm and Anagnostou (1988) . The analysis of the test results for an instrumented offshore tow conducted in 1989 indicated that the analytical model underpredicted extreme tension. The reason for the underprediction of the extreme tension was the analytical model did not account for the second order ship surge motions and resulting low frequency tension fluctuations. Frimm and Milgram (1991) proposed a semi-empirical correction to the extreme tension model based on an analysis of the at sea test results...

    Calculation of extreme towline tension during open ocean towing 

    Desroches, Alexander S (Monterey California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1997);
    A new data base of extreme towline tensions for open ocean towing has been developed that will be incorporated into the U.S. Navy's Program of Ship Salvage Engineering (POSSE). The extreme towline tension consists of the ...

    Experimental study on the effect of misfit and mismatch of ship plating welds 

    Bebermeyer, Robert E. (Monterey California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2002-06);
    Misfits and mismatches in the welding of ship hull plating may affect survivability after explosions, accidents, or other extreme external forces. Experiments, Slip Line Theory (SLT), and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) help ...

    Impact fragmentation of a brittle metal compact 

    Tang, Megan; Hooper, Joseph P. (AIP Publishing, 2018-05);
    The fragmentation behavior of a metal powder compact which is ductile in compression but brittle in tension is studied via impact experiments and analytical models. Consolidated metal compacts were prepared via cold-isostatic ...
