An alternate method for the determination of aircraft carrier limiting displacement for strength
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Pipe circularity reformation via line heating
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Fabrication of pipes requires the use of several manufacturing processes, such as bending, welding, drilling and wringing. However, in most cases the circular ends deviate from true circles and need reformation to be welded ...
Verification of a six-degree of freedom simulation model for the REMUS autonomous underwater vehicle
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
mproving the performance of modular, low-cost autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) in such applications as long-range oceanographic survey, autonomous docking, and shallow-water mine countermeasures requires improving the ...
Forces and moments due to unsteady motion of an underwater vehicle
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
This research examines the effect of unsteady motion on the forces and moments experienced by an underwater vehicle in shallow water. The test platform is the REMUS Autonomous Underwater Vehicle developed by the Woods Hole ...
An experimental study of the oil evolution in critical piston ring pack regions and the effects of piston and ring designs in an internal combustion engine utilizing two-dimensional laser induced fluorescence and the impact on maritime economics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
Faced with increasing concern for lubricating, oil consumption and engine friction, it is critical to understand the oil transport mechanisms in the power cylinder system. Lubricating oil travels through distinct regions ...
The effect of vibration mount aging on machinery raft displacement and vibration isolation performance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
Development of an actively compliant underwater manipulator
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988)
Maneuvering of a robotic pike
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
A robotic mechanism is described, called Robopike. The robot has fork length equal to 82cm, and contains 5 motors, a computer and a wireless modem for communication during testing. Details of the construction and testing ...
Multivariable control of an underwater vehicle c by Logan George Milliken.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1984)
Multivariable control system design for a submarine using active roll control
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1985)
