Experimental investigation of tearing fracture in sheets under quasi-static loading
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
Although there has been interest in the behavior of metal plates under blast and projectile loading for many years, definitive open-source analysis has only been recently forthcoming. This analysis is most often in the ...
A solution to the inherent list on Nimitz class aircraft carriers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
Nimitz class aircraft carriers possess an inherent list to starboard that their list control systems (LCS) are typically unable to correct while under Combat Load Conditions. As a result, it has become necessary to use ...
Feasibility and design of blast mitigation systems for naval applications using water mist fire suppression systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
The recent trend of using fine water mist systems to replace the legacy HALON- 1301 fire suppression systems warrants further study into other applications of the water mist systems. Preliminary research and investigation ...
Project management in distributed collaborative environment : the IeCollab case study
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
Structural loading of cross deck connections for trimaran vessels
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
This work investigates the fundamental relationships of wave loading on cross deck structures for trimaran vessels. In contrast with a monohull ship, trimaran vessels experience several possible structural loading cases ...
An approach for structural maintenance scheduling using time variant reliability analysis of serviceability and ultimate strength models
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Optimal deadrise hull analysis and design space study of naval special warfare high speed planning boats
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
United States Navy SEALs (Sea, Air, Land) frequently employ high speed planing boats (HSPBs) in the performance of their missions. Operation of these vessels in normal and adverse conditions exposes personnel to severe ...
