Evaluation by simulation of an acoustic array composed of multiple autonomous vehicles
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
Ship-towed arrays have been integral to Navy combatant operations for many decades. The continual advancement of towed array technology has been continually driven by the need for high sensitivity, low self-noise, and ...
Hydrodynamic analysis of the offshore floating nuclear power plant
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
Hydrodynamic analysis of two models of the Offshore Floating Nuclear Plant [91 was conducted. The OFNP-300 and the OFNP-1100 were both exposed to computer simulated sea states in the computer program OrcaFlex: first to ...
Mechanical characterization of lithium-ion battery micro components for development of homogenized and multilayer material models
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
The overall battery research of the Impact and Crashworthiness Laboratory (ICL) at MIT has been focused on understanding the battery's mechanical properties so that individual battery cells and battery packs can be ...
Using the principles of set-based design to realize ship design process improvement
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
Set-based design (SBD) is a relatively new complex product development method. Its use has been well researched in the automotive and aerospace industries and, although it requires an upfront investment in resources, it ...
Integrating Model Based Engineering and trade space exploration into naval acquisitions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
The Navy Acquisition force is faced with designing, procuring, and managing some of the most complex systems and technologies imagined. Balancing a shrinking and fickle budget environment with a program that has dynamic ...
An experimental study of the human interface with one atmosphere diving suit by appendages
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
This experimental study of the human interface with an Atmospheric Diving Suit (ADS) develops a method for quantitatively evaluating how the pilot interacts with the suit's appendages to inform design improvements and to ...
An experimental study of the one Atmosphere Diving Suit (ADS) and data analysis of military diving
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
The Atmospheric Diving Suit (ADS) is a one-man submarine with moveable, humanlike appendages with internal pressure maintained at one atmosphere. This precludes the possibility of common diving related illnesses while ...
Risk-based treatment of uncertainty in trade space exploration : application via Monte Carlo simulation on a manned, mini-submersible model
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
In design, modeling and simulation are commonly used to answer questions of interest as it is both inefficient and expensive to physically build and evaluate numerous possibilities. Any modeling effort aims to build the ...
Resilient acquisition : unlocking high-velocity learning with model-based engineering to deliver capability to the fleet faster
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
As the nation's security needs call for a growing naval fleet, the public-private industrial base for construction and weapon system acquisition will be stressed to perform at a high level of operational excellence. While ...
Material characterization of lithium ion batteries for crash safety
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
The safety of lithium-ion batteries is extremely important due to their widespread use in consumer products such as laptops and cell phones. Several cases of thermal runaway in lithium ion batteries that resulted in fires ...
