Ship design is often multidisciplinary involving several design elements with various types of objectives and constraints (O/C) some easily described as mathematical formulas, others better modeled as descriptive assertions. This paper describes a method based on fuzzy functions and an integrated performance index to model O/C using descriptive assertions to be used with mathematical formulas in optimization. Another issue addressed in this paper concerns the coordination of design elements when sequentially coupled, that is, when one leads the other and the performance of the follower depends greatly on the design of the leader. Based on neuro-fuzzy techniques, the method described here coordinates and optimizes sequentially coupled elements. The two methods are applied to machinery arrangement (MA) and pipe routing (PR). Preliminary models for optimization of MA and PR are described considering convenience, producibility: engine room size, interference and location as factors in the O/C set. Some test results from MA/PR applications are presented and discussed. The methods are generic and can be extended to other elements in ship design. They are mutually independent and may be used separately Two advantages of their use are an improvement in overall performance and a reduction in the need for redesign of elements.

Bulk-type domain reversal gratings of LiTaO3 crystal were fabricated at room temperature by the direct electric field method, The nonlinear optical. property of the crystal was evaluated by quasi-phase matching. The period of the bulk-type domain reversal gratings on an LiTaO3 substrate was 7.5 mu m and the domain reversal extended to the entire substrate thickness of 500 mu m. The experimental normalization efficiency was 0.46%/W . cm in carder quasi-phase matching and was close to the theoretical value (0.48%/W . cm). This result indicates that high-efficiency nonlinear interaction could be achieved by using the bulk-type domain reversal grating, The bulk-type domain reversal grating of nonlinear optical crystal such as LiTaO3 is expected to be useful for compact nonlinear optical devices and integrated laser sources.

Robust ship AAW defense capability is a priority requirement that enables Naval Forces to conduct joint expeditionary force operations in littoral environments. As an aid to achieving this capability for all ship classes, the Navy has reorganized its management of ship defense. A major focus of these efforts is the development of a fully automatic, integrated combat system for non-Aegis ships which is based on coordinated detection, control, and hard kill/electronic warfare (HK/EW) engagement functions. A phased approach to attaining this fully integrated capability has been established which includes major element upgrade introduction when technology and budget permit. This paper describes the ship self-defense performance assessment methodology which has been adopted to support the review and decision process for future planning and budgeting. This process is a continuation and refinement of that used to provide data for the Office of the Secretary of Defense Fall 1991 Conventional Systems Committee Ship Self-Defense Review. The performance assessment methodology starts with definition of survivability requirements by ship class, combat system configurations, Anti-Ship Missile threat, and operational scenario. Viable self-defense system element options are then identified. The capability of these options are then characterized for input into ship level performance prediction models. Three partitions of performance prediction modeling are made: hard kill elements only, electronic warfare element only, and integrated HK/EW. The most significant accomplishment of this effort, beyond providing data to support programmatic decision, has been the creation of a truly integrated HK/EW surface ship combat system model that interleaves HK and EW timelines and allows parametric variation to evaluate options. Because of classification, only generic examples of numerical result will be presented. However, the procedures for establishing the modelling process, prioritization of

Characteristics of both thermoplastic and thermoset composite materials as they pertain to marine vehicle applications are discussed. Comparison of various material selection factors such as strength, damage and moisture resistance, and flammability and toxicity as well as cost and availability of thermoset and thermoplastic composite materials are presented. Methods for testing and reducing the flammability and toxicity are discussed. Many commercially available composite systems are reported to provide favorable characteristics for marine applications. Although there seems to be a need for improved production technology for thermoplastics, they present potential advantages in physical properties over thermoset composites.

CHAPMAN, CLJOLLEY, RCharles L. Chapman:graduated from the University of Maine with a B.S. degree in engineering physics in 1961. He worked with the General Electric Company from 1961 to 1966 as a field engineer during installation
checkout and maintenance of the Talos missile systems. He also became proficient in field engineering support of the Mk 44 and later the Mk 46 torpedo. In 1966 he joined the Naval Underseas Center at Newport RI as a torpedo engineer. In 1967 this functional responsibility was transferred to the newly instituted Naval Ordnance Systems Support Organization Atlantic. After transferring to Naval Sea Support Center Atlantic he became the Torpedo Division head then the ASW Surface Ships' Division head and subsequently was promoted to his present position as SEMMSS program manager Atlantic. He is an extremely active member in ASNÈ receiving the first annual award for the “Top Recruiter.” He is a member of Sigma Pi Sigma the physics honorary society. USNCdr. Ronald Jolley

The SEMMSS program is a little more than two years old and, like its submarine forerunner Submarine Maintenance Monitoring Support Office (SMMSO), provides many benefits to the fleet support community. Most of these benefits, such as improved readiness, improved repair definition, reduced voyage repairs, and continued technical contact with ships, are of special value. The program, when fully expanded to include combat systems, will provide a methodology for an integrated systems, whole-ship approach to shipboard performance monitoring. This paper presents an overview of the SEMMSS program, addresses implementation of the combat systems portion of the program, and outlines efforts to document program effectiveness.
