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 ...
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 ...
Light-weight materials selection for high-speed naval craft
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
A decision analysis study was conducted on the process of materials selection for high-speed naval craft using the Modified Digital Logic (MDL) method proposed by B. Dehgham-Manshadi et al in ref [17]. The purpose is to ...
