Vibration suppression in finite length marine cable systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
The vibration suppression effectiveness of a flexible in-line marine cable vibration absorber is studied. The transfer matrix method is used to build various numerical models of vibration absorbers in marine cable systems. ...
The application of advanced hydrodynamic analyses in ship design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
Recent advances in computational hydrodynamics offer the opportunity to incorporate more accurate analyses earlier in the ship design process. In particular, significant work has been conducted towards the prediction of ...
Modeling and control of a fish-like vehicle
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
To understand the extremely complex hydrodynamics of fish swimming, it is desirable to build a mechanical prototype. This allows better cooperation of the "vehicle" under study than would be allowed with a live specimen. ...
