Shipboard fault detection, load transient exploration, and power simulation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Non-intrusive load monitoring experiments have provided useful information in practice for activity tracking, condition-based maintenance, energy scorekeeping, and fault detection through various installations over several ...
Experimental verification of biomimetically designed ventral fins for AUVs
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Biomimetics, nature inspiring technology, is the concept of imitating nature models for the purpose of solving complex problems [1]. Finding the right analogs from biology to technology, transferring, and applying them ...
Analysis of dynamic acoustic source positioning : an autonomous swarm approach
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
As underwater autonomous vehicles become more prevalent, and their missions more complex, a novel means of underwater acoustic communication with respect to source positioning must be developed that takes advantage of the ...
A parametric modelling tool for high speed displacement monohulls
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
In ship design projects, it is of utmost importance to investigate a wide range of options during the concept design phase in order to determine which one best suits to the requirements. Although, keeping the concept design ...
Adaptive sequential sampling for extreme event statistics in ship design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
For more than a century, many facets of ship design have fallen into the domain of rules-based engineering. Recent technological progress has been validated to the point that many of these areas will soon warrant ...
Electronics first : development of a basic electronics course of study for naval engineers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
MIT's 2N program produces naval engineers for the U.S. Navy. It provides its students with a solid foundation of critical engineering, design, construction, and naval architecture concepts. However, within that curriculum, ...
Electric ship digital twin : framework for cyber-physical system security
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
This thesis presents a dynamic model that can be used for a digital twin of an electric ship. The model is an end-to-end simulation of a ship from prime mover to maneuvering, seakeeping, and propeller ventilation in random ...
Developing an accelerated aging system for gasoline particulate filters and an evaluation test for effects on engine performance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
Stringent regulations worldwide will limit the level of particulate matter (PM) emitted from gasoline engines equipped with direct fuel injection. Gasoline particulate filters (GPFs) present one strategy for meeting PM ...
CFD based design of a high speed planing hull with cambered planing surface, V-step and hydrofoil
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
With emerging applications for high speed boats in commercial, military and off shore industries, there is a focus in the naval architecture community to improve the efficiency and performance characteristics of planing ...
A fully numerical lifting line method for the design of heavily loaded marine propellers with rake and skew
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
This thesis aims to give a contribution to the design of heavily loaded marine propellers by numerical methods. In this work, a wake-adapted, fully numerical, lifting line model is used to obtain the optimum circulation ...
