Setting the Scene for Naval Architecture Excellence into the Future
JULY 13, 2019
DLBA is putting its R&D and tech skills to work modernizing the towing carriage system for Virginia Tech. This is the towing system that sits on top of the University’s model test basin and the aim is to enhance the research team’s capability to perform model test experiments for high speed surface and subsurface crafts by greatly increasing the test speed.
Alongside the modernization, DLBA and its team members, Maritime Applied Physics Corporation and the Stevens Institute of Technology, will also be developing a new Vertical Planar Motion Mechanism (VPMM) for the University’s research team to perform maneuvering experiments for submersible vessels as well as forced slamming experiments for high speed surface craft. The whole DLBA team is excited to contribute to the advancement of marine technology by supporting fundamental research in the field of naval architecture both now and in the future.
