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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Design and assessment of a super high speed, hybrid hydrofoil/SWATH crew boat
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
This thesis presents the preliminary design and assessment of Wavecutter, an innovative super high speed, hybrid hydrofoil/SWATH crew boat. The intended mission of the vessel is the very-fast transportation of crew and ...
COLREGS-compliant autonomous collision avoidance using multi-objective optimization with interval programming
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
High contact density environments are becoming ubiquitous in autonomous marine vehicle (AMV) operations. Safely managing these environments and their mission greatly taxes platforms. AMV collisions will likely increase as ...
