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 ...
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 ...
Intent-aware collision avoidance for autonomous marine vehicles
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
Applications of autonomous marine vehicles in dynamic and uncertain environments continuously grow as research unveils new enabling technology and academic, commercial, and government entities pursue new marine autonomy ...
Examination of hull forms for an Offshore Nuclear Plant
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
The Nuclear Science and Engineering Department at MIT has a concept design for an Offshore Nuclear Plant (ONP). This project highlights the advantages of the offshore location by reducing the risk of natural disasters and ...
Design of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) charging system for underway, underwater recharging
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
Modern robotics have enabled the rapid proliferation of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) throughout the marine environment. As autonomy algorithms increase in robustness, complexity, and reliability, so too does the ...
Toward robust active semantic SLAM via Max-Mixtures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
In a step towards the level of autonomy seen in humans, this work attempts to emulate a high level and low level approach to world representation and short term adaptation. Specifically, this work demonstrates an implementation ...
Design space exploration and optimization using modern ship design tools
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
Modern Naval Architects use a variety of computer design tools to explore feasible options for clean sheet ship designs. Under the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division ...
Z-source circuit breakers in naval power systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
New power system components and control systems are required to facilitate the U.S. Navy's move to medium voltage direct current power (MVDC) systems on future vessels. Integrating the z-source circuit breaker into a ...
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 ...
Design, evaluation, and validation of a naval ship structural health monitoring tool
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
The US Navy implements structural preventative maintenance procedures onboard its vessels using ship's personnel inspection. These procedures have been largely successful in identifying major problem areas before any ...
