On the Dynamics of Cables with Application to Marine Use
(University of Michigan, 1970-05-01)
Cables play an important role in ship operations, whether in anchoring, in docking, in towing, or in passing through locks. The frequent casualties that result from cable failure attest to the need for a better understanding ...
Feasibility of Sailing Ships for the American Merchant Marine
(University of Michigan, 1975-02-01)
The study is an economic comparison of the performances of several sizes of sailing ships vs those of comparable powered ships, all on several long trade routes from North American ports. The ships, both sa•i and powered, ...
Container Ship Loading and Unloading Simulation
(University of Michigan, 1970-04-01)
This program is an initial step toward optimizing the various components which constitute a profitable marine transportation system. The programming method and various comparative results are of immediate technical interest. ...
Wave Making: A Low-Speed Slender-Body Theory
(University of Michigan, 1975-04-01)
A slender_body theory for the wave making of a ship in steady translational motion is developed by assuming that the length of the waves generated by the ship is of the same order of magnitude as the beam of the ship. The ...
Singular Perturbation Problems in Ship Hydrodynamics
(University of Michigan, 1970-10-01)
This paper is a survey of a group of ship hydrodynamics problems that have certain solution methods in common. The problems are all formulated as perturbation problems, that is, the phenomena under study involve small ...
