Nonlinear Radiation Problems for a Surface_piercing Body
(University of Michigan, 1992-11-01)
Chairperson: Robert F. Beck&&A Desingularized Eulerian-_Lagrangian Time_-domain Approach (DELTA method) is used to investigate fully nonlinear radiation problems of surface_piercing bodies. At each time step, a boundary-value ...
Singular Perturbation Problems in Ship Hydrodynamics
(University of Michigan, 1970-10-01)
This paper is a survey of a group of ship hydrodynamics problems that have certain solution methods in common. The problems are all formulated as perturbation problems, that is, the phenomena under study involve small ...

Discrete-time Detection Modeling for Unsaturated Ocean Acoustic Propagation
(Acoustical Society of America, 1983-11)
The basic problem in ocean acoustic detection is formulated under the assumption of unsaturated sound propagation. The latter essentially amounts to a constant signal plus Gaussian noise. Detection is defined as occurring ...
Probabilistic Torsional Vibration Analysis of a Marine Diesel Engine Shafting System: An Alternative Approach to the Level Crossing Problem
(University of Michigan, 1989-12-01)
The level crossing problem is treated and the first excursion probability is presented for the case of a cyclostationary random process. A new method is then introduced, where the cyclostationary process is replaced with ...
