Shipboard condition based maintenance and integrated power system initiatives
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
With the U.S. Navy's continued focus on developing and implementing a robust integrated power system aboard future combatants, there has been an ever increasing effort to guarantee an electrical distribution system that ...
Material characterization and axial loading response of pouch lithium ion battery cells for crash safety
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
Recent research conducted at MIT's Impact and Crashworthiness Laboratory (ICL) has focused on material characterization of lithium ion battery cell components for use in the development of an accurate and practical ...
Remote nondestructive evaluation of composite-steel interface by acoustic laser vibrometry
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
Composite materials are increasingly being used in both civil and ship structures. In particular, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are being utilized. FRP materials are most often employed to reinforce aging or ...
DC to DC power conversion module for the all-electric ship
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
The MIT end to end electric ship model is being developed to study competing electric ship designs. This project produced a model of a Power Conversion Module (PCM)- 4, DC-to-DC converter which interfaces with the MIT ...
Autonomous adaptation and collaboration of unmanned vehicles for tracking submerged contacts
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
Autonomous operations are vital to future naval operations. Unmanned systems, including autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs), are anticipated to play a key role for critical tasks ...
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 ...
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 ...
