Creator:: Berrier, Austin S.
Abstract:: Several wave energy converter designs have been recently proposed that are made of flexible materials. Flexible devices are able to generate electricity by being stretched, and are intended to simplify deployment and maintenance concerns over existing wave energy devices. Due to the relative infancy of flexible wave energy converters, however,...

Creator:: Mankle, Hannah L.
Abstract:: Given the immense energy potential of oshore wind and ocean waves, offshore renewable energy can significantly contribute to the renewable energy landscape. Fixed floating wind is already making strides internationally with increased electricity capacity, while floating offshore wind turbines and marine hydrokinetic (MHK) technology have significant potential that can...

Full Text:: to thank Dr. Ryan Coe, Dr. Yi-Hsiang Yu and Dr. Chris Hoyle, for the support they have offered me

Creator:: Sharp, Christopher J.
Abstract:: With the need to integrate renewable energy sources into the current energy portfolio and the proximity of many population centers to an ocean coastline, it is pressing that marine energy systems, specifically wave energy converters (WECs), are evaluated as potential solutions for meeting energy needs. In order to best understand...

Creator:: Devin, Michael C.
Abstract:: Floating offshore wind energy is anticipated to become a competitive source of renewable energy by the late 2020s, but the industry must reduce costs and uncertainties associated with the technology to do so. Identifying solutions to these problems frequently relies on computational modeling, which presents technical shortcomings limiting the versatility...

Creator:: Roach, Aeron L.
Abstract:: Much like wind energy in its early years, marine energy has vast potential, and wave energy converter (WEC) concepts are constantly in development. Consequently, wave energy faces many challenges for expansion and has a wide-ranging design space of WEC concepts. The large design space demands new methods for understanding the...

Creator:: Miller, Annalise M.
Abstract:: Wind energy plays an important and growing role in the US energy profile. While other countries have expanded their wind industries into offshore development, large investment costs have hindered progress in the US offshore market despite the larger and more consistent resource available offshore. In this research, I explore the...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Creator:: Ferrero, Vincenzo J.
Abstract:: Modern product design drives the boundaries of innovation by encompassing complex Design-for-X objectives, and the inclusion of multidimensional stakeholders. This growing complexity in product design has left design teams unequipped, as classical design theory is bounded by designer experience, expertise, and cognition. One novel approach to tackling product complexity is...
