The Computer System SPIRAL Documentation for the User and the Module Writer
(University of Michigan, 1979-06-01)
Some of the important ship design work required of a student can be done by computer tools available in our SPIRAL computer library. This memo outlines by brief abstracts what is available in that library, sketches of how ...
The 2005 Chios Ancient Shipwreck Survey: New Methods for Underwater Archaeology
(The American School of Classical Studies at Athens, 2009-04)
In 2005 a Greek and American interdisciplinary team investigated two shipwrecks off the coast of Chios dating to the 4th-century b.c. and the 2nd/1st century. The project pioneered archaeological methods of precision ...

Source code for proposed Multi-Scale FEM Crack Growth model - see Appendices D and E of Hodapp, D., 2014. "The Use of High-Fidelity Numerical Models in Ship Structural Fatigue Predictions". PhD Thesis, The University of ...
Coordination of converter and fuel cell controllers
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2005-10-10)
Load following fuel cell systems depend on control of reactant flow and regulation of DC bus voltage during load (current) drawn from them. To this end, we model and analyse the dynamics of a fuel cell system equipped with ...
Calculation of Broken Ice Resistance Based on Model Testing
(University of Michigan, 1970-04-01)
Some Aspects of Fuel Economy in Bulk Carrier Design and Operation
(University of Michigan, 1980-09-01)
In this paper we look at solutions to the impact of higher fuel costs on the design of bulk carriers and strategies for fleet operation. We propose analytical techniques that recognize the inventory cost of the goods in ...
On Placing Our Bets for Survival: Priorities for Attempting Change in Maritime Transport
(University of Michigan, 1986-09-01)
Fourth International Shipbuilding & Ocean Engineering Conference, Helsinki, Finland, September 7-10, 1986&&All of us recognize the need for improving the economic performance of our merchant ships. Improvements imply changes ...
Evaluating Fragility of Interdependent Design Spaces to Quantify the Risk of Space Reduction Decisions in Set-Based Design
(2023-01-19)
The litany of decisions made over the course of any marine vessel design have significant impacts on the design’s outcome. Iterative approaches, such as point-based design (PBD), make precise decisions on vessel characteristic ...
Design Space Characterization Map for Offshore Carbon Sequestration
(Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, 2023-09-27)
This mind-map models the relationships and interdependencies in the characterization of the Offshore Carbon Sequestration design space. The knowledge structure shown in the map was derived from sources in industry and ...
