    • Designing-in of Quality Through Axiomatic Design 

      Suh, Nam P. (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, 1995-06)
      Decisions made during the design stage of product & process development profoundly affect product quality and process productivity. To aid in design decision making, a theoretical framework is advanced: the axiomatic ...

    • Calculation of Dynamic Motions and Tensions in Towed Underwater Cables 

      Hover, Frank S.; Grosenbaugh, Mark A.; Triantafyllou, Michael S. (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, 1994)
      A matrix method for mooring system analysis is extended to address the dynamic response of towed underwater systems. Key tools are equivalent linearization and small perturbation theory, and a pitching towfish model. ...

    • Robust Control For Underwater Vehicle Systems With Time Delays 

      Triantafyllou, Michael S .; Grosenbaugh, Mark A. (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, 1991)
      Presented in this paper is a robust control scheme for controlling systems with time delays. The scheme is based on the Smith controller and the LQG/LTR (Linear Quadratic Gaussian/Loop Transfer Recovery) methodology. ...
