Deflections of Great Lakes Ore Carrier Hull Structures by Finite Element Analysis
(University of Michigan, 1982-10-01)
For Presentation to The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, Great Lakes and Great Rivers Section, October 7, 1982&&Calculation of hull deflections in way of machinery spaces of two Great Lakes bulk carriers ...
Part-load optima in bottoming-cycles
(Elsevier, 1987-07)
It is assumed that optimal steam conditions for a Rankine bottoming-cycle are those that produce the greatest power output. It is then demonstrated that optimal steam conditions are a function of steam-generator pinch-temperature ...
A Sequential Hypothesis Testing, Optimal Stopping Problem in Underwater Acoustic Detection
(Acoustical Society of America, 1984-03)
A sequential hypothesis testing, optimal stopping problem in underwater acoustic detection is formulated and solved using dynamic programming. The problem calls for deciding whether acoustic signals being received over ...
A Basic Problem of Resource Allocation in Target Tracking
(Acoustical Society of America, 1982-09)
Stochastic dynamic programming techniques are used to formulate and solve the problem of tracking two independent and stationary targets with one sensor in order to maximize a certain measure of performance. At any point ...
Prediction of Ship Roll Damping - A State of the Art
(University of Michigan, 1981-09-01)
Various methods for predicting the roll damping of a ship at forward speed is discussed. In particular, a simple method and a component analysis are described. The component analysis assumes that the damping is composed ...
Confrontations with Data: Some Examples for the Engineer
(University of Michigan, 1980-07-01)
For Presentation to The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, Great Lakes and Great Rivers Section, January 22, 1981.&&The paper consists of discussions of several sets of contrived experimental data. In each ...
Non-Linear Ship Springing Experiments
(University of Michigan, 1983-02-01)
The results of an experimental study investigating the main hull girder of Great Lakes bulk carriers are presented. The source of excitation is the non-linear excitation due to two wave trains of different frequencies. ...
