Shape interrogation by medial axis transform for automated analysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1990) -
Shelf currents, ice and wind : a numerical modeling study
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)In this thesis, the effects of sea ice, downwelling favorable winds and barotropic background currents on shelf fronts are examined using numerical models. The models are configured with the characteristics of the East ... -
Ship wave patterns and motions by a three dimensional Rankine panel method
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1990) -
Simulating ship motions in the time domain
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994) -
Slender ships with forward speed - a new approach and a new theory
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1983) -
The slow drift motions of offshore structures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994) -
Sound scattering by cylinders of noncircular cross section
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994) -
Spatial modulation in the underwater acoustic communication channel
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)A modulation technique for increasing the reliable data rate achievable by an underwater acoustic communication system is presented and demonstrated. The technique, termed spatial modulation, seeks to control the spatial ... -
Spectral feature classification of oceanographic processes using an autonomous underwater vehicle
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)The thesis develops and demonstrates methods of classifying ocean processes using an underwater moving platform such as an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV). The "mingled spectrum principle" is established which concisely ... -
Spectral super-element approach for wave propagation in range dependent elastic medium
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
Stability of a coastal upwelling front over topography
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988) -
Statistical model for the prediction of elastic wave scattering from finite complicated shells
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
The statistics of finite bandwidth, modulated acoustic signals propagated to long ranges in the ocean, including multiple source effects.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1979) -
Steady and unsteady dynamics of an azimuthing podded propulsor related to vehicle maneuvering
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)While the implementation of azimuthing propulsors powered by internal electric motors (often called "podded propulsors") into the commercial ship market has been swift, the understanding of their hydrodynamics through ... -
The stochastic behavior of spot freight rates and the risk premium in bulk shipping
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)The value of virtually any contract or asset in bulk shipping depends primarily on the stochastic dynamics of the forward freight rate curve. In the absence of a liquid and transparent market for forward freight agreements, ... -
Strategic change management in ship design and construction
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998) -
Structural evaluation of fixed offshore platforms
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1975) -
