Exactly Sparse Extended Information Filters for Feature-Based SLAM
(SAGE, 2007-04)
Recent research concerning the Gaussian canonical form for Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) has given rise to a handful of algorithms that attempt to solve the SLAM scalability problem for arbitrarily large ...
One Optimization of an Earlier Model of Virtual Downtown Ann Arbor
(Institute of Mathematical Geography, 2004-06-21)
Optimization of Stiffened Structures & Application to Preliminary Ship Design
(University of Michigan, 2001-05-01)
This report presents an optimization method of stijfened structures (ship structures and hydraulic structures) from which the LBR-5 software is issued. Its target is to ease and improve the preliminary design stage allowing ...
The complementary RANS equations for the simulation of viscous flows
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2005-05-20)
A complementary set of Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations has been developed for steady incompressible, turbulent flows. The method is based on the Helmholtz decomposition of the velocity vector field into a ...
Preliminary Deep Water Results in Single-Beacon One-Way-Travel-Time Acoustic Navigation for Underwater Vehicles
(IEEE, 2009-10-10)
This paper reports the development and experimental
evaluation of a novel navigation system for underwater
vehicles that employs Doppler sonar, synchronous clocks, and
acoustic modems to achieve simultaneous acoustic ...
Topology redesign for performance by large admissible perturbations
(Springer-Verlag, 2006-02)
A methodology is developed for optimal structural topology design subject to several performance constraints. Eight-node solid elements are used to model the initial structure, which is a uniform solid block satisfying the ...
An Efficient Single-Screw 11 000 TEU Containership: The Suez Max SS
(Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME), 2001-10-01)
The ability to transport containers with the least cost at currently required service speeds of approximately 25 knots to maintain a regular operating schedule is the goal of every post-panamax containership operator. The ...

Topology and performance redesign of complex structures by large admissible perturbations
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2000-10)
A methodology for topology redesign of com- plex structures by LargE Admissible Perturbations (LEAP) is developed. LEAP theory is extended to solve topology redesign problems using 8-node solid elements. The corresponding ...
Initial water impact of a wedge at vertical and oblique angles
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2004-04)
This paper examines initial asymmetric wedge-impact flows with horizontal as well as vertical impact velocity. The method of two-dimensional vortex distributions is employed to model the initial-boundary-value problem. The ...
