(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Although propulsion and electric power systems selection is an important part of naval ship design, respective decisions often have to be made without detailed ship knowledge (resistance, propulsors, etc.). Propulsion and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The human, economic and environmental disaster that followed the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe at the Gulf of Mexico in April 2010 revealed how much the offshore drilling industry relies on the Blowout Preventer (BOP) as ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Due to environmental regulations, waste water disposal for US Navy ships has become a requirement which impacts both operations and the US Navy's budget. In 2006, the cost for waste water disposal Navy-wide was 54 million ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Could transparency between current disparate methods improve efficiency in early stage submarine design? Does the lack of transparency between current design methods hinder the effectiveness of early stage submarine design? ...

-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Fuel savings in ship navigation has always been a popular subject in the maritime industry as well as the world's largest Navies. Oil prices and environmental considerations drive the effort for more fuel-efficient navigation. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)In an effort to build internal combustion engines with both reduced brake-specific fuel consumption and better emission control, engineers developed the Direct Injection Spark Ignition (DISI) engine. DISI engines combine ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Glass fiber/vinyl ester composite laminates are currently being used and proposed for the hulls, bulkheads, and superstructures of large ships. This thesis examines the effectiveness of the repair of such laminates using ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1983)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is an advanced machining process that removes material via thermal erosion through a plasma arc. The machining process is accomplished through the application of high frequency current ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Tunnel bow thrusters are often used by large ships to provide low-speed lateral maneuverability when docking. Required to provide high thrust while essentially at a standstill, the design point for these thrusters is the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Propellers are typically optimized to provide the maximum thrust for the minimum torque at a specific number of revolutions per minute (RPM) at a particular ship speed. This process allows ships to efficiently travel at ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Alternative methods for cost estimation are important in the early conceptual stages of a design when there is not enough detail to allow for a traditional quantity takeoff estimate to be performed. Much of the budgeting ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1983)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Composite materials are increasingly being used in both civil and ship structures. In particular, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are being utilized. FRP materials are most often employed to reinforce aging or ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1977)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Modem naval warships rely on vast arrays of sensor networks to evaluate the performance of mission critical systems. Although these sensor networks enable increased levels of automation, they are costly to install and to ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)With the U.S. Navy's continued focus on developing and implementing a robust integrated power system aboard future combatants, there has been an ever increasing effort to guarantee an electrical distribution system that ...
