Rivers Room "Design Issues in Hull Form De- sign," John W. Boylston, modera- tor. An opportunity to informally con- tinue technical discussions of some of the topics of the Thursday after- noon IMSDC Technical Sessions. Brigade Room "Design Issues in Powering and Propulsors," William S. Vorus, moderator. An opportunity to informally con- tinue technical discussions of some of the topics of the Thursday morn- ing STAR Technical Sessions and the Thursday afternoon IMSDC Technical Sessions. Friday, June 10 Ballroom 3 8:45 a.m.—"New Technologies Affecting Marine Machinery" (SNAME), Thomas P. Mackey, chairman-Ship's Machinery Com- mittee (SNAME), moderator. This mini-symposium has been organized by the SNAME Ship's Machinery Committee to focus on recent and current research and de- velopment which are affecting ma- rine machinery. The following short talks will be presented in the three- hour session: "Fundamentals of Optical Fiber Communications," by Dan L. Philen and Robert M. Morais. "Glass Reinforced Plastic Materi- al for Machinery Applications Aboard Ship," by George F. Wil- helmi. "High-Efficiency Electric Mo- tors," by Harry Blakely. "Diagnostic Vibration Monitor- ing," by John S. Mitchell. "Internal Coatings for Machin- ery," by Matthew F. Winkler. "The Intercooled Regenerative Gas Turbine," by Tim Doyle. 2 p.m.—"Evaluation of Impact Loads Associated with Flare Slam- ming" (SNAME), by Armin W. Troesch and Chang-Gu Kang. The hydrodynamics of flare im- pact are modeled by assuming that a pressure release surface exists on the mean water surface. While this simplified boundary value problem ignores some important impact fea- tures, it has the significant advan- tage of being computationally sim- ple. With this theoretical model, it is possible to include three-dimen- sional effects that are ignored in previous two-dimensional theories. Results of experimental drop tests of bow-shaped bodies are compared with both the two-dimensional and three-dimensional theoretical calcu- lations. 3 p.m.—"Surface Effect Ship Loads: Lessons Learned and their Implications for Other Advanced Marine Vehicles" (SNAME), by Paul Kaplan and A. Malaholf. As a consequence of high speed, air cushion support, and large flat surfaces, advanced technology methods were applied to determine Surface Effect Ship structural loads. 4 p.m.—"Advanced Ship Struc- tural Design and Maintenance" (SNAME), by Peter E. Koehler and S. Valsgard. This paper describes a method for advanced ship structural design, and proposes the use of reanalysis of ship structures as part of ship hull condition monitoring and mainte- nance. Friday, June 10 Kings Garden, North 8:45 a.m.—"Intelligent Com- puter Aid in Marine Design and Ocean Engineering" (IMSDC), by Bernt A. Bremdal and Steffen Zeuthen. Development of knowledge-based expert systems (KBES) has become a major research activity within the field of computer aided engineering. Two of the most challenging appli- cation areas are design and plan- ning. SEAMAID and LIFT are two prototypes that specifically address KBES development for marine en- gineering use. 9:45 a.m.—"Ship Synthesis Model Morphology" (IMSDC), by Dale E. Calkins. The development of the metho- dologies and architecture of ship system synthesis models used in de- sign will be described. The architec- ture of existing marine and aeronau- tical synthesis models will be re- viewed to develop a "generic" syn- thesis model. 10:45 a.m.—"Experience in Teaching Marine Design on an Assignment Basis" (IMSDC), by Lars E. Mathisen and Stian Erichsen. (continued) Steering Committee John K. Stuart, Chairman Thomas P. Mackey, Vice Chairman J.R. Capin R.B. Couch D.P. Courtsal M.J. Dills J.O. Greenwood R.W. Harkins R.D.
