(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, 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 ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1987)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Over the last several decades, there has been a dramatic increase in the complexity and power requirements of radars and other combat systems equipment aboard naval combatants and this trend is expected to continue for the ...
-
(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, 2013)Autonomous platforms and systems are becoming ever more prevalent. They have become smaller, cheaper, have longer duration times, and now more than ever, more capable of processing large amounts of information. Despite ...
-
(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, 2014)As the sophistication and technology of ships increases, U.S. Navy shipbuilding must be an effective and cost-efficient acquirer of technology-dense one-of-a-kind ships all while meeting significant cost and schedule ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980)
-
(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, 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 ...
-
(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 ...
-
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 ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995)
-
(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 ...
-
(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 ...
