Comparison of analytical and numerical approaches for determining failure of ring-stiffened cylindrical shells
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Algorithms for design and interrogation of functionally graded material solids
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
A Functionally Gradient Material (FGM) part is a 3D solid object that has varied local material composition that is defined by a specifically designed function. Recently, research has been performed at MIT in order to ...
Integrating response surface methods and uncertainty analysis into ship concept exploration
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Quasi-static tearing tests of metal plating

Wave effects on underwater vehicles in shallow water
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV's) need to work in shallow water to complete oceanographic missions, coastal engineering surveys, and in military operations that involve reconnaissance and the location of mines along ...
An evaluation of finite element models of stiffened plates subjected to impulsive loading
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
Different finite element models are evaluated for two very common structures, a cantilever beam and a stiffened plate, subjected to impulsive loading. For the cantilever beam case, the finite element models are one, two ...
Force and hydrodynamic efficiency measurements of a three-dimensional flapping foil
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
Investigations into unsteady flapping foil propulsion have shown that it is an efficient and high thrust means of propulsion. Extensive work has been done to optimize the efficiency of two-dimensional flapping foils, varying ...
Experimental study on the effect of misfit and mismatch of ship plating welds
