Naval additive manufacturing : bridging the gap between research and implementation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Additive manufacturing (AM), commonly known as three-dimensional printing, presents numerous advantages over traditional production methods, including design-to-end-use process reduction and on-demand generation of needed ...
Object localization and identification for autonomous operation of surface marine vehicles
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
A method for autonomous navigation of surface marine vehicles is developed A camera video stream is utilized as input to achieve object localization and identification by application of state-of-the-art Machine Learning ...
Engineering a human Factors analysis of a novel one Atmosphere Diving Suit (ADS) elbow joint
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
An Atmospheric Diving Suit (ADS) is a one person anthropomorphic submersible which is used to facilitate undersea work while keeping the diver/operator at atmospheric pressure thus removing them from the harmful physiological ...
Next generation probabilistic prediction model for submarine propulsion shaft life
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
With the development of the U.S. Navy's new COLUMBIA class ballistic missile submarine, the Navy plans to implement a new, longer operational inspection interval for the propulsion shaft system, attempting to double the ...
Bragg reflector geometries for colorimetric orientation and deformation sensing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
Propulsion systems of commercial and naval ships are typically large and expensive. They must be kept well-aligned and free of corrosion to efficiently and reliably transfer torque to a ship's propeller. Early identification ...
Integrating Model Based Engineering and trade space exploration into naval acquisitions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
The Navy Acquisition force is faced with designing, procuring, and managing some of the most complex systems and technologies imagined. Balancing a shrinking and fickle budget environment with a program that has dynamic ...
An experimental study of the human interface with one atmosphere diving suit by appendages
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
This experimental study of the human interface with an Atmospheric Diving Suit (ADS) develops a method for quantitatively evaluating how the pilot interacts with the suit's appendages to inform design improvements and to ...
An experimental study of the one Atmosphere Diving Suit (ADS) and data analysis of military diving
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
The Atmospheric Diving Suit (ADS) is a one-man submarine with moveable, humanlike appendages with internal pressure maintained at one atmosphere. This precludes the possibility of common diving related illnesses while ...
Mechanical characterization of lithium-ion battery micro components for development of homogenized and multilayer material models
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
The overall battery research of the Impact and Crashworthiness Laboratory (ICL) at MIT has been focused on understanding the battery's mechanical properties so that individual battery cells and battery packs can be ...
Risk-based treatment of uncertainty in trade space exploration : application via Monte Carlo simulation on a manned, mini-submersible model
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
In design, modeling and simulation are commonly used to answer questions of interest as it is both inefficient and expensive to physically build and evaluate numerous possibilities. Any modeling effort aims to build the ...
