Even though ocean waves around the world are known to contain high and dense amounts
of energy, wave energy harvesters are still not as mature as other forms of renewable …

This paper studies the multidisciplinary nature of two body wave energy converters by a
parametric study based on the Taguchi method which helps to understand the effect of …

This paper introduces a novel model for predicting the performance and conducting
sensitivity analysis of design parameters in two-body point absorber wave energy …

Two-body point absorbers are useful for wave energy conversion in high energetic and high
wave period sea locations. Analysis and simulation show that the two-body point absorbers …

In this paper, the effects of increasing the number of degrees of freedom through adding
submerged bodies to a point absorber wave energy converter (WEC) were studied in an …

We propose a novel Triple Coaxial-cylinder Wave-Energy Converter (TCWEC) system, as
an evolution of the commonly deployed dual-coaxial cylinder WEC (DCWEC). TCWEC …

Output-only methods are widely used to characterize the dynamic behavior of very diverse
structures. However, their application to floating structures may be limited due to their strong …

Point absorbers utilize the relative motion between the floating body and the submerged
body to harvest the wave energy. This paper presents the parametric study of a two-body …

An offshore structural design should accurately calculate wave loads and structural
responses acting on slender cylinders. The hydrodynamic drag-dominated force was always …

The objective of this paper is to perform hydrodynamic analysis of a semi-submersible type
offshore structure in regular waves using the three dimensional (3-D) source distribution …
