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.

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)
