Marine Systems
Recent projects
(1) Simulation and Testing of Wave-Adaptive Modular Vessels
The primary contributions of this research includes:
- First application of multi-post shaker rig testing to marine vessels
- Coined the term “Quarter-Boat” for simulating the dynamics of one corner of a marine vessel
- Established criteria for evaluating marine testing programs with suspension systems
- Coupling of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Multi-Body Dynamics (MBD) codes for future WAM-V optimization
