Free-Surface Effects in Hull Propeller Interaction
(University of Michigan, 1971-09-01)
The purpose of this research was to clarify by analysis, computation and experiment the quantitative role of wavemaking at the free surface in the phenomenon of hull propeller interaction and consequently its contribution ...
The Logic and Mathematics of Non-Annual Compounding Applied to Investment Decisions
(University of Michigan, 1970-05-01)
Many of us have grown so used to living with compound interest that we have forgotten its underlying principles. In particular, those of us who deal in long-term investment decisions often grow too accustomed to the ...
Low-Aspect-Ratio Flat-Ship Theory
(University of Michigan, 1973-06-01)
The low_aspect_ratio flat_ship integral equation is amenable to direct computation, and we present here some preliminary examples of its numerical solution. Much more work needs to be done to derive efficient procedures, ...
Small Craft Engineering: Propulsion by the Internal Combustion Engine
(University of Michigan, 1971-10-01)
This volume is reprinted from lecture notes used in a one-week course, Small Craft Engineering, presented by the Continuing Engineering Education Program of the University of Michigan, October 11 - 15, 1971. Other volumes ...
The Practice of Naval Architecture: A Career Survey of Recent Graduates
(University of Michigan, 1979-06-01)
This report summarizes the responses to a mail survey I conducted in May 1978. About 250 questionnaires were sent to naval architects and marine engineers who were graduated with bachelor's degrees from the University of ...
Simulation of Receiving, Storing and Loading General Cargo
(The University of Michigan College of Engineering, 1970-05-01)
The receiving, checking, and storing of cargo in an export terminal and subsequent loading of the cargo into ships is simulated by computer. The paper gives a description of how the simulation model is designed.
Experiments on Ship Motions in Shallow Water
(University of Michigan, 1974-03-01)
The results of an experimental investigation into shallow water ship motions are presented. The experiments were conducted in two parts. In the first part, the change in form of sinusoidally generated waves as they travel ...
The Wave Resistance of an Air-Cushion Vehicle in Accelerated Motion
(University of Michigan, 1970-12-01)
This report is concerned with the theoretical wave resistance of an air_cushion vehicle (ACV) traveling over water of uniform finite or infinite depth, in steady or unsteady motion. Referring first to steady motion, it is ...
