Millitary Standard for Small Water Craft, Navy, Marines

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the lack of specific structural design standards for mounting components on small Naval and Marine watercraft, particularly Zodiac-style boats. While there are established standards like Mil-std-810 and Mil-std-167 for larger ships, these do not apply to smaller vessels. Participants suggest using the DLA's quick search tool for relevant information by entering "boat," which may yield helpful resources. One user expresses gratitude for the webpage and anticipates spending time reviewing the results. The conversation highlights the challenge of finding applicable standards for small boat design.

I curious if anyone out there knows what structural design standards are used when mounting components onto small Naval and Marine (Zodiac) style watercraft. I can find all kinds of loads and vibration criteria for large ships like Mil-std-810 and Mil-std-167 but all of them specify not to use their criteria for small boat design. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks Bob K, that webpage really helps. I think it will take me a couple days to sift through all that comes up when I type in "boat" but I am hoping what I am looking for is in there LoL!
 

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
