Maritime Tanker Safety: Some Conclusions and Recommendations for Improvement
(University of Michigan, 1981-09-01)
Presented at the October 22, 1981 meeting of the Great Lakes Section of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers held in conjunction with the Centennial of naval architecture and marine engineering at The ...
Effects of Control Systems on Optimization of Ship Size for Navigation in Restricted Waters of the Great Lakes
(University of Michigan, 1981-12-01)
The study examined the question of how alteration of traditional channel clearances (i.e., three times ship width for channels, and seven to eight times vessel beam for traffic) would affect the economics of increasing ...
Discrete-time Detection Modeling for Unsaturated Ocean Acoustic Propagation
(Acoustical Society of America, 1983-11)
The basic problem in ocean acoustic detection is formulated under the assumption of unsaturated sound propagation. The latter essentially amounts to a constant signal plus Gaussian noise. Detection is defined as occurring ...
Probabilistic Torsional Vibration Analysis of a Marine Diesel Engine Shafting System: An Alternative Approach to the Level Crossing Problem
(University of Michigan, 1989-12-01)
The level crossing problem is treated and the first excursion probability is presented for the case of a cyclostationary random process. A new method is then introduced, where the cyclostationary process is replaced with ...
Accomodation Design
(University of Michigan, 1983-11-01)
Translated from Norwegian by Atle Ellefsen, Edited by Harry Benford&&Please note that this is the second of a three-_part series of papers dealing with current trends in Scandinavian ship manning practices and effects on ...
Fundamentals of Ship Design Economics: Lecture Notes
(University of Michigan, 1981-06-01)
My object in preparing these notes is to introduce students of naval architecture and marine engineering to engineering economy as a tool in ship design. The emphasis is on the principles of engineering economy. Methods ...
The experimental and theoretical evaluation of a twin-flap wave-energy absorbing device
(Elsevier, 1983)
A series of model experiments with a twin-flap wave-energy absorbing device is described, and the results compared with numerical predictions based on theoretical work reported by Srokosz and Evans (1979). Measurements ...
A Nonlinear Approach to the Multiorigin, Multidestination Fleet Deployment Problem
(Wiley, 1989-08)
The problem of minimal-cost operation of a fleet of ships carrying a specific amount of bulk cargo from several origin ports to several destination ports during a specified time interval is examined. The fuel oil cost, a ...
Kt, Kq and Efficiency Curves for the Wageningen B-Series Propellers
(University of Michigan, 1981-05-01)
The B_series propellers were designed and tested at the Netherlands Ship Model Basin in Wageningen. The open_water characteristics of 120 propeller models of the B_series were tested at N.S.M.B. and analyzed with multiple ...
