-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)During the last half century, the use of composite materials and structures has been increasing within many industries: aerospace, automotive, civil, marine, and railway engineering, wind power generation, and sporting ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)This research investigates the distortion on the electrical distribution system for a high voltage DC Integrated Power System (IPS). The analysis was concentrated on the power supplied to a propulsion motor driven by an ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)In an effort to develop submarine designs that deliver reduced size submarines with equivalent capabilities of the current USS VIRGINIA (SSN-774 Class) submarine, a joint Navy/Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ...
-
Analyzing the effects of component reliability on naval Integrated Power System quality of service (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)The Integrated Power System (IPS) is a key enabling technology for future naval vessels and their advanced weapon systems. While conventional warship designs utilize separate power systems for propulsion and shipboard ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Early stage ship design decisions continue to be a challenge for naval architects and engineers. The complex interactions between the different elements of the ship and the broad spectrum of disciplines required in ship ...

-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)The Non-Intrusive Load Monitor (NILM) is a device that utilizes voltage and current measurements to monitor an entire system from a single reference point. The NILM and associated software convert the V/I signal to spectral ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Autonomous operations are vital to future naval operations. Unmanned systems, including autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs), are anticipated to play a key role for critical tasks ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Capsizing of small vessels, such as commercial fishing vessels, is a frequent event. This phenomenon is generally associated with the combined action of storm seas, inadequate design parameter regulations, and dangerous ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1987)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)This thesis utilizes concepts taken from the NAVSEA Design Practices and Criteria Manualfor Surface Ship Freshwater Systems and other references to create a Cooling System Design Tool (CSDT). With the development of new ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The US Navy has identified a need for an autonomous, persistent, forward deployed system to Detect, Classify, and Locate submarines. In this context, we investigate a novel method for multiple sensor platforms acting ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The MIT end to end electric ship model is being developed to study competing electric ship designs. This project produced a model of a Power Conversion Module (PCM)- 4, DC-to-DC converter which interfaces with the MIT ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Improvement of the propulsive efficiency of ships has always been one of the main objectives for naval architects and marine engineers. Contra-Rotating propellers (CRP) are propulsor configurations offering higher efficiency ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Over the next 5 years, MIT Sea Grant is tasked with locating and photographing Didemnum Vexillum, an invasive species which threatens New England fishing habitats. Didemnum research is conducted in the photosynthesis zone ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)OpenProp is an open source propeller and turbine design and analysis code that has been in development since 2007 by MIT graduate students under the supervision of Professor Richard Kimball. In order to test the performance ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Hydrodynamic flow visualization techniques of scaled hull forms and propellers are typically limited to isolating certain operating conditions in a tow tank, circulation tunnel, or large maneuvering basin. Although cost ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) exhibit exceptional electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties that could potentially transform such diverse fields as composites, electronics, cooling, energy storage, and biological sensing. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The use of Lithium Ion batteries continues to grow in electronic devices, the automotive industry in hybrid and electric vehicles, as well as marine applications. Such batteries are the current best for these applications ...
