Exploring Energy Efficiency and Service Quality of Airlines with Cruise Speed Control

In the past decade, fuel consumption and CO2 emission have increased in the airline industry. Large CO2 footprint has a damaging effect on the environment. Global concerns over this issue has made the airline industry to be greener. Most efforts of the green airline industry are improving the fuel consumption to reduce the CO2 emission and its environmental damage. Here, we use cruise speed con...

Harbor/Mooring Harbor Defense Concept

The long-term goal of this work is an integrated defense system that provides protection of Navy assets, while in port, from the threat posed by covert swimmers. The general concept is to hail, deter, and/or incapacitate the threat by directing a controlled level of low-frequency acoustic energy at the target location. At the system level, the concept requires combining elements of target detec...

Finite Element Modelling of Mooring Lines

In this paper, we develop a new finite element model for a cable suspended in water. Global existence and uniqueness of solutions of the truncated system is shown for a slightly simplified equation describing the motion of a cable having negligible added mass and supported by fixed end-points. Based on this, along with well known results on local existence and uniqueness of solutions for symmet...

Mooring Line Reliability Analysis of Single Point Mooring (SPM) System under Extreme Wave and Current Conditions

Single Point Mooring (SPM) is a type of offshore facility that is used for the loading and unloading of oil and gas tankers in the sea. In Iran, it is briefly called “floating buoy”. The present study discussed floating type, fixed to the seabed with mooring chain. The mooring chain of SPM, which is considered one of the important parameters of its design, will be evaluated with reg...
