An integrated approach to damage ship survivability assessment
This research concentrates on damage ship stability and means for assessing dynamic ship performance in this state. A consolidation of many approaches for tackling damage ship dynamics has been undertaken, culminating in the development of a numerical tool for simulating ship behaviour while …

Multi-attribute tradespace exploration for US Navy surface ship survivability: a framework for balancing capability, survivability, and affordability
… understanding the design tradeoffs for new naval ship concept designs cannot be understated. A combination of a tightened shipbuilding budget, large high-priority procurement programs, and an emphasis on affordability will require high level tradeoffs to be made in future ship programs. …

Desktop systems for manufacturing carbon nanotube films by chemical vapor deposition
… decrease in lifetime maintenance costs of ships by eliminating hull corrosion. A stronger composite could also improve naval ship survivability or increase combat payloads by reducing the hull weight of ships and submarines. Further, cooling requirements of ship borne electronics have grown …

A solution to the inherent list on Nimitz class aircraft carriers
… the design counter flooding capability of the ship, and thus reduces ship survivability. In order to restore the ships operational flexibility and achieve the necessary/desired list correction, this study determines the effect of adding solid ballast to a series of voids/tanks identified on the …

Computationally-effective Modeling of Far-field Underwater Explosion for Early-stage Surface Ship Design
The vulnerability of a ship to the impact of underwater explosions (UNDEX) and how to incorporate this factor into early-stage ship design is an important aspect in the ship survivability study. In this dissertation, attention is focused on the cost-efficient simulation of the ship response to a …

Exploration of System Vulnerability in Naval Ship Concept Design
… a methodology and analysis tool to explore ship system vulnerability using a simplified modeling approach during the naval ship concept design process within the Concept and Requirements Exploration (CandRE) process used at Virginia Tech. The CandRE is based on a Multi-Objective Generic …

Design for safety and energy efficiency of electrical power systems in ships
… and transport have identified the need for the ship and passengers safety, energy efficiency and environmental pollution to be considered as dominant issues within shipping industry and academia. Recently introduced safety regulations, known as Safe-Return-to-Port, and 'green' regulations, by …
