A Nonlinear Approach to the Multiorigin, Multidestination Fleet Deployment Problem
(Wiley, 1989-08)
The problem of minimal-cost operation of a fleet of ships carrying a specific amount of bulk cargo from several origin ports to several destination ports during a specified time interval is examined. The fuel oil cost, a ...

Three Dimensional Effects on the Hydrodynamic Coefficients and Wave Exciting Forces Used in Predicting Motions of Ships
(University of Michigan, 1979-03-01)
The three_dimensional boundary value problem for the unsteady motion of a ship oscillating on the free surface is formulated for zero forward speed. Various forms of the integral equation methods are formulated. The ...
Visually Mapping the RMS Titanic: Conservative Covariance Estimates for SLAM Information Filters
(SAGE, 2006-12)
This paper describes a vision-based, large-area, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithm that respects the low-overlap imagery constraints typical of underwater vehicles while exploiting the inertial sensor ...
Toward a Platform-Independent Acoustic Communications and Navigation System for Underwater Vehicles
(IEEE, 2009-10-26)
This paper presents a platform-independent
acoustic communication (Acomms) system that enables multiple
nodes (any combination of underwater vehicles, surface
ships, and fixed beacons) to simultaneously exchange data
and ...
Kt, Kq and Efficiency Curves for the Wageningen B-Series Propellers
(University of Michigan, 1981-05-01)
The B_series propellers were designed and tested at the Netherlands Ship Model Basin in Wageningen. The open_water characteristics of 120 propeller models of the B_series were tested at N.S.M.B. and analyzed with multiple ...
The Fundamental Assumptions in Ship-Motion Theory
(University of Michigan, 1974-02-01)
Paper prepared for International Symposium on the Dynamics of Marine Vehicles and Structures in Waves, London, April 1974.&&Some of the fundamental assumptions of ship_motion theory are examined for the purposes of elucidating ...
