Comparison of approaches for determining the failure of stiffened cylindrical shells
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Shape optimization theory and applications in hydrodynamics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
The Lagrange multiplier theorem and optimal control theory are applied to a continuous shape optimization problem for reducing the wave resistance of a submerged body translating at a steady forward velocity well below a ...
Ultrasonic wave propagation in thick, layered composites containing degraded interfaces
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
The ultrasonic wave propagation of thick, layered composites containing degraded bonds is investigated. A theoretical one-dimensional model of three attenuative viscoelastic layers containing two imperfect interfaces is ...
Manning and automation of naval surface combatants : a functional allocation approach using axiomatic design theory
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
The design of ships is an inherently complex process. This complexity is significantly increased when the particular ship being designed is a naval surface combatant. The ship design process is traditionally viewed as a ...
Ship hull plating weld misalignment effects when subjected to tension
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Plastic resistance of thin-walled prismatic tubes under large twisting rotations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
Effect of hull-to-bulkhead flexible connection on blast resistance of double hulled ships
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
The use of double hull construction is commonplace within the shipping industry though it is largely unexploited within naval vessels. The Impact and Crashworthiness Lab at MIT has proposed the use of adaptive sandwich ...
Computer model for a towed submarine communication antenna
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
A finite difference computer model is developed to simulate the exposure statistics of a radio frequency buoyant antenna as it is towed in a random seaway. The model allows the user to prescribe antenna properties (length, ...
Comparison of analytical and numerical approaches for determining failure of ring-stiffened cylindrical shells
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Integrating response surface methods and uncertainty analysis into ship concept exploration
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
