Ferro-Cement with Particular Reference to Marine Applications
(University of Michigan, 1969-03-01)
In this paper I have compiled various methods which people have used to design and construct ferro-cement boats. I have also included experimental results and introduction, reason and theory for various practices. The ...
A Naval Architect's Guide to Practical Economics
(University of Michigan, 1991-10-01)
My purpose in writing this little book is to enable students of naval architecture to unravel the mysteries of ship design economics with little or no help from the academic staff. I was asked to provide such a guide, one ...
Analysis and Statistics of Large Tankers
(University of Michigan, 1968-10-01)
In this paper I have compiled operating statistics for tankers in the 50,000 - 500,000 ton range. These statistics are plotted for construction cost, insurance cost, crew cost, maintenance and repair cost, fuel consumption, ...
Survey for the Offshore Racing Council
(University of Michigan, 1994-05-01)
The Department of Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering at the University of Michigan has been assisting the Offshore Racing Council in gathering data to help improve the handicapping rules it administers. The results ...
Maneuverability in Restricted Waters: State of the Art
(University of Michigan, 1976-08-01)
An overview of restricted_water maneuvering with heavy emphasis on the course stability of ships in canals is presented, starting with the underlying linear equations and proceeding to the theoretical prediction of the ...
Main Principles of Modern Superstructure Design
(University of Michigan, 1983-12-01)
Translated from Norwegian by Atle Ellefsen, Edited by Harry Benford&&Please note that this is the second of a three-_part series of papers dealing with current trends in Scandinavian ship manning practices and effects on ...
A Rational Strip Theory of Ship Motions: Part I
(University of Michigan, 1969-03-01)
The exact ideal_fluid boundary-value problem is formulated for a ship forced to heave and pitch sinusoidally in otherwise calm water. This problem is then simplified by applying three restrictions: 1) the body must be ...
Extension and Application of ZARNICK: A Nonlinear Simulation Program for High Speed Planing Hulls
(University of Michigan, 1997-05-01)
A nonlinear mathematical model (Zarnick, 1978) has been extended to calculate the motions of a variable deadrise planing boat in waves, using Zamick's low aspect ratio strip theory. It is assumed that the wavelengths are ...
