Optimal maintenance, repair, and replacement for Great Lakes marine diesels
(Elsevier, 1991-11-25)
Reliability-based models are developed and implemented to rationalize current winter layup replacement practices for one-engine and two-engine Great Lakes marine diesel ships. A semi-Markov competing-process approach is ...
Three-dimensional nonlinear statics of pipelaying using condensation in an incremental finite element algorithm
(Elsevier, 1990)
The problem of static, nonlinear three-dimensional deformation of pipelaying used in construction and installation of underwater pipelines is studied within the limits of small strain theory. The mathematical model consists ...
Deterministic Minimal Time Vessel Routing
(INFORMS, 1990-06)
We develop general methodologies for the minimal time routing problem of a vessel moving in stationary or time dependent environments, respectively. Local optimality considerations, combined with global boundary conditions, ...
An efficient finite element method for treating singularities in Laplace's equation
(Elsevier, 1991-10)
We present a new finite element method for solving partial differential equations with singularities caused by abrupt changes in boundary conditions or sudden changes in boundary shape. Terms from the local solution ...
Singular finite elements for the sudden-expansion and the die-swell problems
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 1990-03)
The singular finite element method is used to solve the sudden-expansion and the die-swell problems in order to improve the accuracy of the solution in the vicinity of the singularity and to speed up the convergence. The ...
Velocity field measurements of cavitating flows
(Springer-Verlag, 1995-12)
A particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) system has been developed to study the microfluid mechanics of cavitating flows. Planar PIV was used to examine the non-cavitating flow in the thin boundary layer near a hydrofoil surface ...
