    • Design and Projected Performance of a Flapping Foil AUV 

      Licht, Stephen; Polidoro, Victor; Flores, Melissa; Hover, Franz S.; Triantafyllou, Michael S. (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, 2004-07)
      The design and construction of a biomimetic flapping foil autonomous underwater vehicle is detailed. The vehicle was designed as a proof of concept for the use of oscillating foils as the sole source of motive power for ...

    • Review of Experimental Work in Biomimetic Foils 

      Triantafyllou, Michael S.; Techet, Alexandra H.; Hover, Franz S. (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, 2004-07)
      Significant progress has been made in understanding some of the basic mechanisms of force production and flow manipulation in oscillating foils for underwater use. Biomimetic observations, however, show that there is a ...

    • Calculation of Dynamic Motions and Tensions in Towed Underwater Cables 

      Hover, Frank S.; Grosenbaugh, Mark A.; Triantafyllou, Michael S. (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, 1994)
      A matrix method for mooring system analysis is extended to address the dynamic response of towed underwater systems. Key tools are equivalent linearization and small perturbation theory, and a pitching towfish model. ...
