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 ...
Interactive Midship Section Analysis Program Utilizing Both Graphics and Digitizer Input - SPIRAL Module Midship - Users Manual
(University of Michigan, 1979-06-01)
This module will analyze the structural midship section of a vessel once the user has inputed all flat and curved plate sections along with all longitudinal stiffners. Input is done by utilizing the graphics terminal and/or ...
The Practice of Naval Architecture: A Career Survey of Recent Graduates
(University of Michigan, 1979-06-01)
This report summarizes the responses to a mail survey I conducted in May 1978. About 250 questionnaires were sent to naval architects and marine engineers who were graduated with bachelor's degrees from the University of ...
A Contribution to Flow-Separation Problems in Unsteady Motion of a Body
(University of Michigan, 1979-07-01)
Roll motion is the least predictable of ship motions, largely because of viscosity effects, which in turn causes flow separations to occur. As a result of these phenomena, roll damping is often highly nonlinear. It is best ...
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 ...
