A multi-degree-of-freedom (multi-DOF) wave energy converter (WEC) with hybrid power take-
off (PTO) systems may capture more wave energy than a traditional single-DOF WEC, which …

In the present study, we developed an analytical model incorporating viscous damping of a
solid heave disk for the motion reduction of a floating circular cylinder in three degrees of …

In this paper, the authors explore the modeling and control of a point absorber wave energy
converter, which is connected to the electric grid via a power converter that is based on a …

The incorporation of machine learning (ML) has yielded substantial benefits in detecting
nonlinear patterns across a wide range of applications, including offshore engineering …

The bistable mechanism has attracted lots of attention due to its potential in improving the
efficiency and broadening the bandwidth of wave energy converters. However, most of …

Wave energy is a kind of clean energy that is rich in reserves and has not been exploited on
a large scale. The slope-pendulum wave energy conversion (S-PWEC) device has been …

Based on the wave reflection principle, a floating flapping-panel wave energy converter was
developed. The feasibility study and optimization study of the new WEC was carried out by …

Salter's duck, an asymmetrical wave energy converter (WEC) device, showed high efficiency
in extracting energy from 2D regular waves in the past; yet, challenges remain for fluctuating …

The current study focuses on the application of the nonlinear negative stiffness mechanism
to a Salter's duck, which is a well-known wave energy conversion (WEC) device known for …

Over the past few years, Algeria has experienced numerous seismic events, particularly in
the northern region of the country, due to its geographical position between the African and …
