Abstract
This Summary of Research presents a listing and description of the research activity and productivity of the faculty, civilian and military, and midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy for the 1998 1999 academic year. A total of 2.9 million dollars was devoted to research. The funding categories break down into approximately 71% Navy, 10% non-Navy DoD, 16% non-DoD federal, and 3% private research foundations. The Chief ofNaval Research, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Naval Research Laboratory, and Naval Space Command are the primary Navy sponsors of faculty and midshipman research. Among non-DoD federal sponsors, the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy have been the main sources of funding. Midshipman activities in research at the Naval Academy continued with students participating in independent research courses and honors projects. Twelve members of the Class of 1999 completed the Trident Scholar Program during this academic year. Their research achievements included non-invasive detection of CH-46 aft gearbox faults, model-based control of combustion, study of optical variability of the Chesapeake Bay, development and implementation of an adaptive error correction coding scheme for a full duplex communications channel, development of error statistics of time-delay embedding prediction on chaotic time-series, study of reduction in copper electrode life due to the resistance welding of aluminum, analysis of the use of thermal spraying to enhance the bonding characteristics of a urethane coated propeller.
