PLATO, ARTIS I.GAMBREL, WILLIAM DAVIDArtis I. Plato:is Head of the Design Work Study/ Shipboard Manning/Human Factors Engineering Section
Systems Engineering and Analysis Branch Naval Ship Engineering Center (NAVSEC). He graduated from the City College of New York in 1956 receiving his Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering degree. Following this he started work at the New York Naval Shipyard in the Internal Combustion Engine and Cargo Elevator Section. During 1957 and 1958 he was called up for active duty with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and served in Europe with a Construction Engineer Battalion. After release from active duty he returned to the shipyard where he remained until 1961 when he transferred to the Naval Supply Research and Development Facility Bayonne New Jersey. Initially he was in charge of an Engineering Support Test Group and the drafting services for the whole Facility. Later he became a Project Engineer in the Food Services Facilities Branch with duties that included planning and designing new afloat and ashore messing facilities for the Navy. In 1966 he transferred to NAVSEC as a Project Engineer in the Design Work Study Section and in this capacity worked on selected projects and manning problems for new construction and also developed a computer program (Manpower Determination Model) that makes accurate crew predictions for feasibility studies. In 1969 he became Head of the Section. He has been active in the U.S. Army Reserve since his release from active duty and his duties have included command of an Engineer Company various Staff positions and his present assignment as Operations Officer for a Civil Affairs Group. He has completed the U. S. A rmy Corps of Engineers Career Course and the Civil Affairs Career Course and is presently enrolled in the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College non-resident course. Additionally he completed graduate studies at American University Washington D.C in 1972 receiving his MSTM degree in Technology of Management and is a member of ASE ASME CAA U. S. Naval Instit

FAIRBANKS, JOHN W.The author is a graduate of the Maine Maritime Academy
Stanford University and the University of Santa Clara. His undergraduate degrees were in Marine and Mechanical Engineering and his Masters Degree Specialization was in Heat-Mass-Momentum Transfer within the Mechanical Engineering Department He has taught Gas Dynamics Thermodynamics and Direct Energy Conversion at Texas A&M and the University of Maryland and has sailed as a licensed Marine Engineer for two and a half years with the American Export Lines currently holding active First Assistant Steam Unlimited and Third Assistant Diesel Unlimited licenses. From 1954 to 1957 he was on active duty in the U.S. Navy serving in the USS Montrose (APA-212) as both Main Propulsion Assistant and Chief Engineer. While employed at Hiller Aircraft Company he was in the Advanced Research Group and worked on the Detached Coanda Effect for VTOL and ground effect machines as well as designing high-speed bearings and high-speed shaft test stands for the SC-142A an experimental tilt wing aircraft program. In 1963 he went to Philco-Ford to design a Brayton Cycle Power System for a solar probe spacecraft and also worked on the Thermal and Power System Design of the IDCSP (DOD's Communication Satellite). At NASA's Goddard Space Center for six years his responsibilities included design fabrication integration test launch and flight operation of solar arrays on two spacecraft and also as Power Systems Engineer for the Orbiting Astronomical Observatory the largest unmanned spacecraft flown. In 1971 he joined NAVSEC where he is currently the Program Engineer on the FT9 Gas Turbine Development Program and Coordinator of the Navy's Materials Programs for advanced gas turbines. Having organized the first two Navy Gas Turbine Materials Conferences he is presently organizing U.S. participation in a joint U.S. Navy Royal Navy Gas Turbine Materials Conference to be held in ‘the United Kingdom in September 1976. Mr. Fairbanks has authored or coauthored 21 technical papers and i

The current Navy philosophy for marine gas turbine engine development is to marinize an existing aircraft turbo jet engine. The FT9 Marine Gas Turbine Engine is a 33,000 horsepower version of the Pratt and Whitney JT9D engine, which powers the 747 aircraft. Marinization of the JT9D basically involves removal of the fan section, addition of a power turbine, structural modification to several components, and material changes to provide corrosion‐resistance in the marine environment. Characteristics and ratings of the individual engine components are discussed as well as the assembled engine. The FT9 design incorporates the modular replacement concept. Modular replacement permits replacement of short‐life components such as the hot‐section without removing the engine from its mounts. The FT9 specification requires development of a condition monitoring system as an integral part of the engine development. Thus, provisions for sensor installations are incorporated in the design. Accelerometers are installed on the internal engine bearing housings to provide improved vibration signals. These accelerometers are mounted on rods such that they are removable without engine disassembly. Extensive borescope provisions are included to provide capability to inspect all hot‐section components without disassembling the engine. The engine life‐limiting component is the hot‐section because of the susceptibility of the blade and vane materials to sulphidation/oxidation at the temperatures encountered with the advanced engines. Sophisticated Made and vane cooling is used to allow high turbine inlet temperatures while keeping blade metal temperatures in a region where sulphidation/oxidation is only moderately active. Coatings are added to blades and vanes to extend engine life. Three FT9 engines will be delivered to the Navy. The target date for provisional Service Approval of FT9 is mid‐1978. FT9 will provide the U.S. Navy with the most advanced marine gas turbine with the highest powe

Today, due to the extreme complexity of modern naval ships, there is a need for the Ship designer and Ship Operator to work together as partners in designing combatant ships. The ship design process consists of a continual series of “trade off” decisions where one feature is balanced against another. The Ship designer (PRODUCER) and the Operator (CUSTOMER) must make these decisions together. This paper addresses a number of important design factors which the Engineer and Operator should keep in mind; namely, the meaning and cost of ship performance, the importance of life cycle cost, and the effect of the design spiral. Specific examples are cited explaining the impact that compromises between several performance features can have on a ship design. The message emphasized is that ship performance never comes cheaply and that the Engineer and Operator are in the best positions to make the difficult decisions necessary to produce a balanced ship design.
One of the problems encountered during the design of the ASR‐21 Catamaran is the determination of the effectiveness of the cross‐structure deck plating. In this paper, this problem is examined using the Finite Eleme...

AZIZ, ABDULTHE AUTHOR was born in East Pakistan on January 31
1932 received the Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Dacca University in Pakistan in 1952 and the Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Michigan State University in 1953. He did further graduate work at MIT Columbia and Johns Hopkins Universities and is now a candidate for the doctoral degree at the University of Maryland. He joined the Department of Navy in March 1966 with the Naval Ship Research and Development Center Annapolis Division where he worked on the MESA (Machinery Effectiveness Systems Analysis) Program sponsored by the Navy Ship Systems Command. The present paper is largely based on a 138-page report entitled “Systems Effectiveness in the United States Navy” on the works of the MESA Program. Currently he is assigned to the Naval Research Laboratory to provide inhouse engineering support in the development and analysis of systems and their components for the conduct of fundamental research in Astronomy and Astrophysics by the Laboratory. Prior to joining the Department of Navy he worked for General Electric Cdmpany in the analysis and development of large steam turbine components and for Burns & Roe Corporation in systems design and analysis for power plants both fossil powered and nuclear. With Burns & Roe he participated in the systems effectiveness analysis of the Army PM-3A nuclear power plant in the Antarctica. He received the United States citizenship in January 1966 is a member of the ASME and the U.S. Naval Institute.
