The division focuses on basic and applied research and technology
development for five ONR corporate thrusts: Reduced Signatures,
Hydromechanics, Hull Life Assurance, Advanced Electrical
Power Systems, and Distributed Intelligence for Automated
Survivability. A number of research topics contribute to these
thrusts, including structural mechanics (which includes solid
mechanics, thermomechanics, and the mechanics of composites),
structural acoustics, structural dynamics, computational mechanics,
control of dynamic systems, dynamics of electric power networks
and their control, and control of acoustic and non-acoustic
signatures. In addition, the division supports applied research
for ships and submarine technology in the following areas:
structural systems, automation via distributed intelligence,
signature control, and maneuvering and seakeeping.
