The Diffraction Potential for a Slender Ship Moving Through Oblique Waves
(University of Michigan, 1975-12-01)
The diffraction problem of a fixed slender ship in incident waves is formulated. Both the conditions of zero and constant forward velocity are considered. The waves are assumed to be of the same order as the beam of the ...
Fluid Structure Interaction: A Community View
(2017-03-13)
Conducting fluid-structure interaction (FSI) experiments and simulations is a critical naval engineering capability for the U.S. Navy. However, past workshops on FSI problems have revealed that the FSI community is split ...
Ship Springing - An Experimental and Theoretical Study
(University of Michigan, 1980-05-01)
The results of an experimental and theoretical study investigating the main hull girder vibrations of Great Lakes ore carriers are presented. The source of excitation is considered to be the incident waves. The emphasis ...
Winter Navigation in the Bothnian Bay and the Iceworthiness of Merchant Vessels
(University of Michigan, 1972-09-01)
Winter navigation in the Bothnian Bay is a subject that continues to be discussed both among professionals, and in the news media. Winter navigation in the Bothnian Bay should first and foremost provide an economical mode ...
Adaptive Path Control of Surface Ships in Restricted Waters
(University of Michigan, 1980-03-01)
The feasibility and effectiveness of using an integrated system for the adaptive control of a surface ship along a prescribed path in restricted waters is investigated. The controller consists of four major components ...
Active Methane Venting Observed at Giant Pockmarks Along the U.S. Mid-Atlantic Shelf Break
(Elsevier, 2007-12-14)
Detailed near-bottom investigation of a series of giant, kilometer scale, elongate pockmarks along the edge of the mid-Atlantic continental shelf confirms that methane is actively venting at the site. Dissolved methane ...
Static Analysis of Marine Risers
(University of Michigan, 1981-05-01)
The static riser design problem is formulated and solved. A two dimensional, small slope, small deflection, linear model for bending of vertical circular tubular beams under tension, internal mud_static and external ...
