Large deformation three-dimensional static analysis of deep water marine risers
(Elsevier, 1985-10)
The problem of static three-dimensional, nonlinear, large deformation response of a marine riser is formulated within small strain theory and solved numerically. This type of analysis is necessary, for the new generation ...
Chebyshev pseudospectral method of viscous flows with corner singularities
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1989-03)
Chebyshev pseudospectral solutions of the biharmonic equation governing two-dimensional Stokes flow within a driven cavity converge poorly in the presence of corner singularities. Subtracting the strongest corner singularity ...
Analysis of Steam Propulsion Plants
(University of Michigan, 1980-09-01)
These notes are intended to help University of Michigan students of marine engineering to learn how to do steam propulsion plant heat balances. They are not intended to compete with the SNAME heat balance bulletin, but ...
A Study of Flap-Type Wave Absorbing Devices
(University of Michigan, 1985-01-01)
A class of wave-_absorbing devices consisting of one or two thin oscillating flaps is considered from the standpoints of hydrodynamics, design requirements, and engineering economics. A three-dimensional linear hydrodynamic ...
Reliability and Replacement Analysis of Marine Diesel Propulsion Systems: a Review
(University of Michigan, 1986-08-01)
The applicability of systems reliability and replacement analysis to the marine industry, in particular to marine diesel enngines, is discussed, in a comprehensive survey of both the scholarly literature and industry ...
Time-Domain Analysis of Wave Exciting Forces on Ships and Bodies
(University of Michigan, 1987-02-01)
The problem considered here is the determination of the forces and fluid motions due to waves coming in contact with a ship or a body that is either fixed or moving on an infinite sea. The approach employed is direct ...
Problems in Optimal Fleet Deployment
(University of Michigan, 1985-05-01)
The problem of minimum-cost operation of a fleet of ships that has to carry a specific amount of cargo between two ports in a given time period for a specific, fixed contract price is studied. Detailed and realistic operating ...
Analysis of Propulsion Transmission Components for Great Lakes Ore Carriers
(University of Michigan, 1982-08-01)
Great Lakes bulk carriers of recent construction are propelled by geared diesel machinery. Although this machinery is similar to propulsion sets that have been used successfully in numerous other vessel types, it has ...
