DEREL: A Diesel Engine Reliability Database for the U.S. Coast Guard
(University of Michigan, 1998-05-01)
This report will address the problem of creating a computer database to collect engine failure data for the USCG. A review of several current shipboard reliability databases will be conducted along with a look at modern ...
Optimal Revolution B-Series Propellers
(University of Michigan, 1982-08-01)
The open-water characteristics of 120 propeller models of the B_Series were tested at the Netherlands Ship Model Basin in Wageningen (NSMB) and were analyzed with multiple polynomial regression analysis. The derived ...
Options for Nonindigenous Species Control and Their Economic Impact on the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway: A Survey
(Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME), 2003-01-01)
Nonindigenous species (NIS) cause substantial economic and ecological problems in the United States and other countries with marine trade. Current legislation and regulations require mandatory ballast water exchange for ...
An Improved Formulation for Bulk Cargo Ship Scheduling with a Single Loading Port
(Routledge, part of the Taylor & Francis Group, 2001-10-01)
This paper presents an improved, significantly more efficient formulation of an existing model for bulk cargo or semi-bulk cargo ship scheduling problems with a single loading port. The original model, published by Ronen ...
Predicting Complicated Dynamics Leading to Vessel Capsizing
(University of Michigan, 1990-06-01)
This thesis represents an effort by one naval architect to analyze the important and practical age-old problem of nonlinear ship rolling motion and motion stability using the most modern methods available from other fields. ...
Aftertreatment control and adaptation for automotive lean burn engines with HEGO sensors
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2004-03)
Control of aftertreatment systems for lean burn technology engines represents a big challenge, due to the lack of on-board emission measurements and the sensitivity of the hardware components to ageing and sulphur poisoning. ...
Time-Domain Analysis of Ship Motions
(University of Michigan, 1986-04-01)
During the last twenty years there has been growing interest in numerical methods for calculating the wave loads on fixed structures and the oscillatory motions of vessels. An alternative to the frequency-domain approach ...
Time-varying Ultimate Strength of Aging Tanker Deck Plate Considering Corrosion Effect
(Elsevier, 2008-10)
This paper presents a semi-probabilistic approach to assess the time-varying ultimate strength of aging tanker's deck plate considering corrosion wastage. The procedure includes (1) defining the limit state function of ...
