An optimization methodology, algorithms, and computer program for
cable/lumped-body deployment system are developed for the design and installation of
sonar packages in deep ocean ranges. In addition, a methodology and algorithms for the
control of the system are proposed.
A penalty function is developed in terms of the system parameters...
The design and analysis of single point power-mooring cables applied to wave energy converters (WECs) is presented. WECs are mechanical devices designed and deployed to extract energy from waves in varying ways, and at varying distances from the shoreline. WEC devices operating on the water surface require mooring lines or...
As interest grows in developing devices to harvest energy from ocean waves, tidal currents, and offshore wind, concerns over possible environmental effects from such devices also grow. One such concern is over the induced electric fields and the generated magnetic fields from generators and their associated submarine power cables in...
