Machinery monitoring technology design methodology for determining the information and sensors required for reduced manning of ships
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
A comparison of experimental and computational analyses of two dimensional foil sections
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
A tool to create hydrodynamically optimized hull-forms with geometrical constraints from internal arrangements
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
Internal arrangements and bulky equipment like machinery have been treated for many years as a secondary aspect of the ship design. Traditionally, in the design process, the centerpiece of the effort is the hull and its ...
Manning and automation of naval surface combatants : a functional allocation approach using axiomatic design theory
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
The design of ships is an inherently complex process. This complexity is significantly increased when the particular ship being designed is a naval surface combatant. The ship design process is traditionally viewed as a ...
Analysis of system wide distortion in an integrated power system utilizing a high voltage DC bus and silicon carbide power devices
(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 ...
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 ...
High speed linear induction motor efficiency optimization
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
One of the reasons linear motors, a technology nearly a century old, have not been adopted for a large number of linear motion applications is that they have historically had poor efficiencies. This has restricted the ...
Modeling for ship power system emulation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
With the U.S. Navy's continued focus on Integrated Fight Thru Power (IFTP) there has been an ever increasing effort to ensure an electrical distribution system that maintains maximum capabilities in the event of system ...
Design, build and test of an axial flow hydrokinetic turbine with fatigue analysis
(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 ...
Ultrasonic wave propagation in thick, layered composites containing degraded interfaces
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
The ultrasonic wave propagation of thick, layered composites containing degraded bonds is investigated. A theoretical one-dimensional model of three attenuative viscoelastic layers containing two imperfect interfaces is ...
