Improvement of Barge Towing: Translations of Selected Japanese and Russian Technical Articles
(University of Michigan, 1980-05-01)
The papers included in this report present the results of experimental and theoretical investigations of barge towing performance. They deal with the resistance of simple hull forms, as well as the improvement of the towed ...
Hydrodynamics of High-Speed Small Craft
(University of Michigan, 1985-01-01)
These notes cover the hydrodynamic aspects of air-cushion vehicles, hydrofoil boats, planing craft, and water propellers. In each case, the emphasis has been placed on a physical description of the problem, together with ...
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 ...
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 ...
Added Mass and Damping of Vibrating Propellers
(University of Michigan, 1980-10-01)
A general analysis of the added mass and damping of a marine propeller in all modes of rigid body vibration is presented. This derivation assumes that the pressure distribution on a propeller blade due to a unit heave ...
New Models on the Ocean Acoustic Detection Process
(Acoustical Society of America, 1981-06)
The basic problem of the ocean acoustic detection process is formulated analytically under the assumption of fully developed saturated phase random multipath acoustic fluctuations. Detection is defined as occurring whenever ...
Improvement of Inland Waterway Vessel And Barge Tow Performance: Translations Of Selected Chinese, German and Russian Technical Articles
(University of Michigan, 1982-09-01)
This report is part of a three year project to organize and translate foreign language articles on towed barges, inland waterway towboats, barge tows, and operations for teaching and use in design/research projects. In ...
Interactive Data and Graphic Display Processors Premsap and Msaplot for the Michigan Structural Analysis Program Msap and Sap IV
(University of Michigan, 1981-07-01)
A computer program called PREMSAP to prepare input data for structural analysis and design of structures, including car frames and ships, along with a program called MSAPLOT to display graphically the mathematical models, ...
