Textile motion in a front-loading washer has been characterized via video capturing, and a
processing system developed based on image geometric moment. Textile motion …

The hydrodynamic forces and dynamic responses of subsea structures, like manifolds, are
studied in the final phase of their installation when they are near the sea bottom. The …

Motivated by the need for broadband point wave energy absorbers (PWAs) whose response
is insensitive to the frequency of the incident waves, this work exploits a two-to-one internal …

Modular floating structures (MFS) offer a sustainable alternative over traditional land
reclamation for the expansion of coastal megalopolises in the context of climate change …

The humble pendulum is often invoked as the archetype of a simple, gravity driven,
oscillator. Under ideal circumstances, the oscillation frequency of the pendulum is …

A wave energy converter (WEC) must be controlled to adapt to changing wave conditions to
improve its conversion efficiency. Radiation hydrodynamic parameters are essential for the …

The movement of water in the oceans generates a vast store of kinetic energy, which has led
to the development of a wide variety of offshore energy harvesters all over the world. In our …

The aim of this paper is to illustrate the design of a new wave energy converter, composed of
a point absorber and a hydraulic system (power take off) and sized for recovering energy in …

The present research aims to experimentally demonstrate the effectiveness of an innovative
method for reducing the ship motions using Stabilizing Ordinary Fishing Nets that we call it …

A methodology is presented to numerically determine the hydrodynamic coefficients of ship
hull sections using a time domain Navier-Stokes model. Results are presented for three …
